We spoke with the guy on the phone and he set an appointment and was on time and changed all the locks for us and even fixed the back door that was turning the wrong direction for no charge. He was very knowledgeable and professional. We even called him back out to switch a door for us so that it would swing out into the garage instead of into the laundry room. We have had no problems with the door or the work he did.
Description of Work: We had the locks changed for the entire house that we were renting.

The locksmith arrived half hour late around 10 am. Instead of replacing a simple lock as I originally asked, He sold me an extra contraption. After almost 5 hours of drilling holes and cutting, the lock and alarm bar was finally installed..I made sure he understand me so I told him point blank his finished product was a piece of s*** and looked unprofessional. Lot of gaps, patch work, missing screw and missing cover plate. He immediately shot back and told me that is how professional works looks like. I told me I cannot accept a strike plate with an jerry rigged screw as a stopper. I cannot accept a door with a 2" x 8" hole by the side. I questioned him why the strike plate requires an extra screw which does not belong there. He then told me the original strike plate was missing from the box and that was the best he could find in his van. If I really want, he could come back later or tormorrow with the correct kind of strike plate. I told him I already spent 7 hours on this lock problem and I couldn't wait any longer. I asked him to correct the problem without my presence and picked up the check from my neighbor. When I called before 5 pm, he told me he just finished the replacement. I have not gone back to see if the strike plate was good enough?
Description of Work: He was asked to replace a broken lock at the back door of a commercial building. He proceeded to use his locksmith knowledge to sell me a lock system with a fire escape bar. I pointed out to him we already have another back door with a fire escape bar. A second one would be unnecessary. He then up sell his other services and talked about fire code even though he acknowledged being irrelvant in this case. According to him, replacing a lock and installing a fire escaped code compliance lock would cost about the same etc. To make the deals more enticing, he would add in $250 worth of extra service which is to replace a battery (the battery itself costs $2). I am not a locksmith, I can't dispute his claim but my own instinct told me his extra services probably worth $20. If you are a locksmith, you probably could hire this guy with no harm done. If you are not a locksmith, don't ever call him. He is a much better salesman than a locksmith. His locksmith experience and expertise serves him well to sell extra products you may not need. My own experience is that customers would end up in the short end when any professionals have better selling than working skills.

My hero. After years and years of trying to get locksmith to fix the problem instead of just temporarily fixing the symptom, I finally found an intelligent locksmith! The door was hung improperly, the strike plates were not installed properly, and the quikset lock mechanism wore out quickly. I needed the initial improper install fixed, not just the lock mechanism changed but for 3 years was unable to get any lock tech to look at the whole problem. I told Louis, key won't go into lock but I want don't just want it fixed, I want it FIXED. He understood immediately; took one look at the door and hinges, and got right to work on the real problem. Now I have a level door that seals when it shuts, a lock that won't wear out after less than a year, strike plates that don't gouge out the moulding, no leakage around the door, door shuts smoothly, and lock turns smoothly. I am so happy.
Description of Work: Replaced lock, replaced door hinges, replaced strike plates, shaved wood so hinges and plates would fit. Realigned door. Also changed an outdoor light bulb for me.

Luis did a great job and was very accommodating and personable.
Description of Work: Luis gave me a quote over the phone, but made sure I knew that it might change because I did not know the specifics regarding the 6 locks that were going to be completely changed to one key. He called me to let me know he was going to be a little late. He did extra work w/o charging me with 2 bolt locks that were rusted. The job took 2.5 hours.

We bought a 2 year old house and wanted to change the locks on 3 doors. We called Ace Lock Doctor Monday to schedule a Wednesday appointment. Louis showed up promptly, was friendly and professional, and completed the job in a short amount of time. We would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Changed 5 locks on 3 doors.

Description of Work: We had all the locks changed on two properties, plus repair on inside lock.

Lewis Cerrajero, owner/operator, scheduled my service within a half-hour from the time I called. He arrived when he said he would. He was courteous and professional. He quickly replaced the lock and rekeyed the other locks. He also made me multiple copies of the keys within minutes. It was a pleasure having him do the work.
Description of Work: Changed lock on one door and then rekeyed the other doors.

I give this company my highest recommendation. Louis had originally rekeyed the locks here when I moved into my home 2 years ago. When I set up the appointment, he gave me a 2 hour window. The day of the appointment, he called ahead of time to let me know when exactly he would arrive (and it WAS within the same 2 hr window). Louis and his son are extremely courteous, conscientious, friendly, and hard-working. They completed the work quickly and cleaned up afterward. I was surprised to learn that they also do work on the doors themselves and was ecstatic when I found out they could put on a new sweeper as I had had problems with bugs coming inside. You can't go wrong with Ace Lock Doctor!
Description of Work: Louis and his son put in a new lock (double side key) and rekeyed 3 other locks to match the new lock. They made 3 extra keys for us (2 were included in the lock's price). They also installed a new sweeper underneath the front door and caulked around it in order to keep bugs out (providing better insulation).
