Amazing Lock had "amazing" service and speed! I had called them to get an estimate on replacing the whole entry handle set on the front door to my 3 unit building. They were able to get someone to my place the next day to give an estimate. Upon arrival, we were told it would be about $400 to replace the whole handle set. However, the serviceman told me he could just replace the key cylinder for $120 total and it would be as good as new! Obviously this made me happy. Secondly, my wife happened to lock herself out of our unit during the time the locksmith was here (good timing). He picked our door lock so she could get back in the house quickly and attend to the boiling water she left on the stove. He didn't even charge us for it! I would definitely recommend to others.
Description of Work: Changed lock cylinder on main entrance to 3 unit building. Picked our unit door so my wife could get in the house after she locked herself out.

Two hours after I called for service on a bitterly cold Sunday, Bill came, at the time he said he would at no extra charge for it's being Sunday. He told me he would let me know twenty minutes before his arrival that he was on his way and he did so. It took him a very long time, in the terrible cold, to access the latch because the whole mechanism was corroded. He was very careful not to destroy the lock handle in the process. Despite the long time involved, he stuck to his estimated charge and I got a senior discount as well. He was very personable and professional.
Description of Work: latch on gate lock replaced; shim placed behind electronic strike plate.

I called Angie's List to get a few locksmith's numbers to call as I was locked out of my house. Angie's customer service gave me 3 top rated locksmiths close to my house. I called 2 of them and Amazing Lock gave me a flat rate to open the door and said that they could be there in 15 minutes. They arrived right on time and opened the door in less that 5 minutes.

I am please with the service; when I called for service I did not expect the locksmith to agree to visit the same day. But he stated he'll be at the house within a hour took about 90 minutes but with late day traiffic that to be expected. Originally I'd indicated 2 locks had to worked on not 3 so the price went up slightly. No issue though.
Description of Work: I requested 3 locks re-keyed in my new house; tech arrived within 90 minutes. He was professional and prompt. I am please with the service especially same day service.

My front door lock stopped accepting my key. I called Amazing Lock at 10:00am, was told someone would be there before 1:00pm and Dave arrived at 11:15am which I consider exceptional responsiveness! He said I didn't need a new lock - just the pins replaced and some oil to keep the lock working smoothly. 15 minutes later, he was finished. I would definitely recommend Amazing Lock as an honest and professional company!

Overall, they did a great job. Our association called on them to fix a lock to our garage door that someone had broken into. They provided a competitive estimate and came out the same day to do the repair. They gave us a time window to come out an do the repair. They were very professional, did a great job, and came on time. The locksmith was very nice and knowledgeable. We will definitely be calling them again!

It was the way services should be provided.
Description of Work: I called today and arranged to meet Gerald this afternoon at my brother's condo building to change the lock on the mailbox. He suggested 4 o'clock and called around 3:30 to say he could be there early. When I arrived he was already there, set right to work and, although it was a tough one that he had to drill out, finished quite quickly. He was courteous, neat, clean and efficient. Great service.

Called and upon no answer, left a message on local (773) number's VM. Dave returned my call within 15 minutes. When asked if he could come in the afternoon, he was able to give me a 1 PM - 2 PM window. Dave called at 12:45 and said that he was in the area if I was ready, so he came early. Dave and Al arrived, were very professional, courteous, and were finished with the job in about 20 minutes. I would definitely recommend to others requiring locksmith service.

David was quite confused that the door was installed the way it was, with a mortise lock and no keyhole. But that didn't stop him from getting it open in just a few minutes. I can now get out to the patio of my new home!

They arrived on time, maybe a few minutes late. Person was professional and curteous. There were some problems in that my doors weren't even but he was able to install anyway and didn't charge more. I was happy about this experience.
Description of Work: They put in 2 deadbolt locks on my residence and did a good job. They used Schlag which is a quality product. I don't know if you can get the same locks for less but I am happy with the job they did.

Serviceman was punctual :) Fixed the deadbolt quickly (under 20 min). He took apart the old bolt and tried to repair, but it was beyond repair. He ran down to his truck, found a new part, and installed it. My only complaint is that he sprayed wd-40 on the old deadbolt on our back landing and the grease is on the ground, which is quite slippery. Apparently some dripped from the lock and he didn't notice it. I noticed it later in the afternoon when i came up the back and slipped where the wd-40 was sprayed. I would still use them again--I don't think he realized it and i didn't either because I was standing right there when he did it.
Description of Work: Repaired/replaced deadbolt on door.

They were very punctual -- arrived within 20 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. Simple job, but no problems, and slightly less expensive than other companies (I have paid $100 and waited much longer in the past. Yes, I need to stop locking myself out.) They accepted the Angie's List discount no problem.

The locksmith arrived on time, and was both speedy and courteous. There was an issue with the basement door, which he pointed out (weatherstripping that pushed the door out, causing the lock to stick). He made suggestions on how to fix the problem, and went to work right away. Overall a great experience. Almost three months after our doors were rekeyed, the deadbolt on our back door began to have issues; the key refused to unlock the door, and something seemed to be broken within the lock itself. I called Amazing to look at the problem, and they were able to come out within a day or so. The owner (Gene) assessed the problem, took the lock completely apart, and replaced a tiny spring. Despite the fact that the broken part had nothing to do with the rekeying three months before, Gene didn't charge me a dime for the repair, since one of his guys had looked at the lock a few months back. Bottom line: I really am amazed by Amazing. Prompt and professional, with great customer service.
Description of Work: Bought a new house, and needed to have the locks rekeyed. Altogether, the locksmith rekeyed seven locks: doorknobs and deadbolts in the front, back, basement, and garage doors.

I called one afternoon, and they were able to send a technician out to my home that evening. They gave a window of time in which the technician would arrive, which he did. The technician was courteous and prompt. He was in and out in 15 minutes. Be sure to ask for the Angie's List discount.
