I called Pat Bell. He returned my call in short time and was at my house within 1/2 hr. He took the entire door off, fancy handle and all. Replaced broken parts. I was afraid the entire hardware would have to be replaced. I had another door downstairs that was not locking. He fixed that also, works like a charm. He was at my house for quite some time pulling the locks apart and fixing everything. He was very professional and skilled and very personable. I am going to use him again to add a dead bolt to another door. The price was also very reasonable. He is my locksmith from now and I would be very confident to refer him. Good job!

I really liked how upfront Pat was about the cost of the job - he explained his pricing before he even arrived so we knew what to expect. I moved into a new house and he was able to re-key 5 doors so that they all now have the same key & programmed our new garage door opener. Very personable & professional! We have actually used him again as one of our dead bolts was having an issue. He came out that day and replaced it! I will continue to use him again.

My daughter moved into a house that had been totally rehabbed. I wasn't sure who had a key (from all of the workers/contractor) so I had Mr. Bell come out and re key all of the doors, and install a safety bar on the patio door. He was professional and very friendly. He explained all pricing before he installed things and suggested a really safe patio door bar. Both my daughter and I feel much more at ease knowing we are the ONLY two to have keys to her new house.

Patrick is a friendly, professional locksmith. We closed on our new home on a Friday afternoon. He was willing to come over either that evening or Saturday. He was on time and did a great job. He recommended a Charley bar for our sliding glass door, saying it was better protection than the keyed lock that comes in them. That was helpful because we didn't know that. He offers a service call discount to AL members, too!
Description of Work: He re-keyed 6 locks for us, duplicated keys and installed a Charley bar on a sliding glass door.

When we bought our new place, our realtor gave us a gift certificate for Bell's to cover the cost of getting the locks rekeyed. We called Pat, the owner, up the morning we closed, and he was able to come by the same day. After talking to him, we decided to have him do a little extra work because we wanted to be able to use one key for all of our locks. It turned out that he didn't have a cylinder for one of our locks in his van, so he made time to come out the next time we were available and finish up the job, and told us not to worry about payment until he had completed all the work. He was very friendly and easy to work with, and we would gladly use him again.
Description of Work: Rekeyed four locks, made copies of new keys, repaired two of the locks.

I needed a lock smith because I was almost locked out the night before. Pat provided an estimate from photos I sent by text. We scheduled a time the next morning and he was on time. He explained what was wrong with my lock and made sure it worked to my satisfaction before he left.

This could not have been any easier. I found Pat's information on Angie's List and because he had one of the highest ratings, I decided to call him first. (He was the only call I ended up making!). He was very easy to work with and asked many questions over the phone in order to make his house visit more efficient. He was running a few minutes late on the morning of the appointment (which was not a problem) but he called to say he would be late, which I thought was very professional and polite. Once he arrived, he was very professional, quick and clean. He was also able to make extra keys on site, which was a plus. I would highly recommend Pat for any locksmith services and would not hesitate to call him again.

He is a very friendly person, knows what he is doing and he arrived when he said he would. He changed two locks for me. The only thing I didn’t like is when he was not able to tell me that the machine he uses to make extra keys is not working. I had to go to see a locksmith just for that extra keys which was inconvenient and cost me extra money.

The locks on my 21-year-old house are showing wear like a lot of other things. The lock from my garage into my home was badly malfunctioning and no amount of scotch tape and crazy glue was going to get me by any longer. I needed someone reliable to replace the lock. So, I found Pat Bell on Angie's list. He would have come out almost immediately but for another priority of mine. So we made an appointment for the next day. Within about 24 hours I had a new lock and Pat replaced some parts on another old lock and re-keyed all locks around the house so they all work on one master key. Pat made it look quick and easy. That's because he's a pro. NOTHING that looks that easy ... is (easy). He had me send photos and he asked questions upfront so he knew just what was needed and just what he was walking into. He was well prepared with the correct replacement and tools. It wasn't long before I was the proud owner of a new lock and I don't have to be afraid I'll accidently lock myself out because of a faulty old lock. Thanks, Pat, for your warm, friendly and excellent communication throughout as well as great professional service for a fair price. I highly recommend Pat to anyone who has a need for good home security.
Description of Work: Pat replaced a badly malfunctioning old lock on the door between my garage and mud-room with a brand new one. Also replaced some parts on another lock and set all locks to work on one master key.

Great! Being a local small business man, he was in the area when I called and came in just a few minute to give us an estimate. After agreeing to a price, Patrick himself performed the work on the scheduled day, arrived on time, and completed the job in the estimated time. He cleaned up well,, and the quality of the work was very good.
Description of Work: Patrick installed several deadbolts and an entry handset.
