My 87 y/o mother was locked out of her apartment located in my house. I calledPhil and he came out promptly and my mom was in her apartment in seconds. He was very personable, professional , prompt and most of all reasonable. I would without hesitation recommend him and would hire him again!

Our Andersen sliding glass door lock was no longer working correctly. It would lock, but not quite catch completely, and you could still pull the door open a bit. And, if you locked it with the key from the outside, it would not allow you to open it from the inside. I explained what was going on to Phil over the phone, he told me that if he couldn't get it working, he wouldn't charge me the service call of $75. He told me what time I could expect him, and he called to let me know he was on his way. He worked on the lock a bit and was able adjust the timing of the lock and got it working again. Nice guy, I liked his responsiveness. I will call him again when I need a locksmith!
Description of Work: Repaired Andersen sliding door lock.

Once I noticed that I had no back door lock, I contacted Phil and he obliged my hours and my imminent need for repair. Even though I scheduled for when I should have been home, of course that was the day the train ran into problems, and I was going to be late for our scheduled meeting time at my house. Because the back door (obviously!) was accessible, I contacted Phil and explained the situation. He went ahead and repaired it without me there, left keys for me, and mailed me a bill. I got home and everything was all fixed - absolutely no effort on my part (other than a phone call!). I would certainly never hesitate to contact him again - a great value and a professional job!
Description of Work: Our back door deadbolt (and only lock on the door) decided to fall apart inside - we didn't even know it wasn't working immediately. He replaced the lock with a new one.

I slam the trunk closed, and everything is locked; doors and trunk. It was late, so my wife picked me up, and then the next morning I searched Angie's List for a locksmith. (I don't have any type of roadside assistance service, or even add-on insurance coverage for towing, lockouts, etc.). Phil had good ratings, so I gave him a call. He was at an appointment that morning, but said he'd be able to unlock my car around 1:00. He told me upfront it would be $85 dollars. He called me back around that time, and said he was on his way. We met at the grocery store parking lot, and I showed him where my car was parked. It took him all of about 10 minutes to take a thin rod and hook, slide it inside past the door window, and lift the inside trunk release lever. Best part: this was done without causing any scracthes, marks, dings or anything on my 2012 automobile. I didn't grade the pricing because I'm not sure what the going rate is for this type of service, if you don't have any type of roadside assistance. But it sure didn't take long (which is actually good). He did have to drive about 30 to 45 minutes to get to me, however. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate at all to use Phil again. Two thumbs up!!
Description of Work: I was putting my groceries into my trunk, and I stupidly set down the car keys in the trunk, as well.

I called at 8:00 am on a Sunday Morning and he was there at 8:45 - 9:00 am in the morning, on a very cold morning. He picked my lock and had me in my home withing 30 minutes. It was very cold so picking locks in cold weather can take a little bit of time. I have used Phil's service several times to replace locks and open vehicle and residence locks. He is fast, courteous, reasonable and prompt.
Description of Work: pick lock and get me into house. I was locked out.

He examined both locks made the changes and keys accepted his payments and was finished with the job within 45 minutes. Very business like and called to check that I was home before arriving.

Phil was easy to work with and did exactly what I needed. After my initial inquiry, he showed up the next day (our moving day) exactly as I requested. Even though there was a lot of commotion with the move he got the locks changed on the both my doors. He made sure they could use the same key and made me as many copies as I needed (which was 4). He was totally professional and the price was super reasonable. He even fixed my deadbolt that was installed incorrectly by the previous owner.
Description of Work: Changed locks on 2 doors and made new keys. Ensured both locks can use the same key. Evaluated the locks/security of my other entrances (sliding glass doors).

I got a great recommendation from a neighbor about Phil ages ago and had been meaning to have our deadbolt fixed and our doorknob changed for a couple of years. I finally called him and he was very friendly, informative, and upfront about costs. I hesitated when he suggested a daytime appointment for the next day and asked if he ever made appointments after 5 pm. It was 4:15 at the time, and he asked me if I would be home by 5 that day. I said yes, and we met at my house less than an hour later. He was finished by 5:30 and I was a very satisfied customer!
Description of Work: Replaced my deadbolt (key had been lost) Replaced lock in doorknob. Made two sets of keys for new locks.

Great. Very impressed with his service.
Description of Work: Very professional....very honest....great worker. He seemed very knowledgeable. I broke my key in the front door. He removed the key and I was going to just have him replace the doorknob completely. He convinced me that I didn't need to incur the added expense of replacing the doorknob because he applied WD40 oil and felt my current doorknob would work fine. Very honest man. Highly recommend him.
