We had an emergency and called them Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday evening the owner and sales manager arrived to help us figure out what kind of security system to install. They were informative and helpful, and did not prey on our fear to sell a bigger system than we needed. By Wednesday evening we had enough installed to help us sleep, and by Thursday afternoon everything was installed and working. I can't say enough about how great they all were.
Description of Work: Installed security system and changed locks.

Keith Fisher, the owner, and his staff have NEVER let us down. Appointments are scheduled at our convenience, emergencies are handled quickly, service packages are comprehensive, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Compared to neighbors, our alarm systems have always performed more efficiently-with minimal service and no random false alarms.
Description of Work: We have been working with Keyth Technologies' alarm and lock divisions for over 20 years. They have serviced several of our residences and rental properties.

Our expereince was good. I told him I wanted the same key for both doors, which wasn't the case for the old locks. He was very professional. They were a good company. He was in and out very quickly. I think it only took him like an hour to do everything. He knew what he was doing.
Description of Work: He replaced the locks on the front and back doors of our house.

The house we moved into three years ago had a Keyth Security system installed, so we have used them for regular maintenance, and the annual service contract. It's fine, but just seems like a lot of money to pay for something that we use rarely. But this is the first house I've owned with a security system, so I don't know for sure just how expensive it is in comparison. On occasion, we lose our power due to a storm, and that triggers calls from Keyth. Generally, that goes OK, even it it's kind of a pain to have to do and get a jarring call if we don't call them right away.

Locksmith arrived on time. He had to try various fixes because the door itself was sagging. The lock is now working perfectly. Work area was thoroughly cleaned. I was pleased that the cost was so reasonable given that he spent 45 minutes on the job.
Description of Work: Front door adjustment to fix key not turning in lock. Required more work than anticipated because the door itself was out of alignment.

Keyth Locksmiths did great work for us. We decided to have a few of our existing locks re-keyed, which helped save us some money, and added a few additional deadbolts for security. Their locksmith got all of the work done in about three hours and the charges came in slightly under the estimate. Now all of the locks on our house all work with just one key and we have deadbolts on all exterior doors as well as the interior doors to the garage and basement. Based on our positive experience, we'll definitely go back to Keyth for an alarm system once we're ready to get one installed. We especially appreciated that they took the time to explain and quote several options and price points without being pushy so that we could pick the best option for our needs (and budget).
Description of Work: My wife and I recently purchased an existing home and noticed that the doors had a hodgepodge of locks, all of which used different keys. There were also a few exterior doors that lacked deadbolts and some of the strike plates were slightly out of adjustment, which made the doors difficult to shut properly. We emailed Keyth locksmith based on their other positive reviews. I got a response from the company owner that same night! They were super-responsive and were great about giving us a variety of options and price-points without being pushy at all. One of their representatives came out and did a quick survey of our home to prepare a quote and multiple options for improving our home's security.

They have a really quick response time when the alarm goes off. I have been using their services for five years now. They are very reliable and that lets me feel secure and at-ease in my home, or when I am not at home.
Description of Work: This company monitors the alarm system for my house. I pay an annual fee but I cannot remember exactly how much it is.

Incredibly efficient. Price was a little high, but he did a good job. Honest. I graded them a C in responsiveness, but I believe they did not respond to an emergency call in enough time.

I thought at first that the price was a bit high--but the locksmith spent about six hours doing the work. Excellent job; cleaned-up well after himself; friendly, helpful. Highly recommended!

Some parts to the hardware that I supplied were missing, but John had extra parts with him to complete the job and didn't charge extra. He also made 2 extra keys for no charge. He was polite, on time, always carefully wiped his feet before entering and cleaned up. Although Keyth is pricey ($58 initial service charge & $88/hour labor), I am very satisfied with the quality of work that was performed and will call him again should I ever need a locksmith in the future.
Description of Work: Installed new hardward including handlesets (for double front door), 2 deadbolt locks, 3 interior door levers. Rekeyed 3 doors to one master key.

Everyone was on time, and returned whenever we needed to make final adjustments. The central response center is terrific -- we can set our watch by the time it takes them to call when we have accidentally set-off the alarm (about 20 seconds). We feel very safe with the system, and with their monitoring service. We did not choose the maintenance agreement in order to save money. We haven't had any problems with the system, or any need for them to come out (except when we replaced a back door).
Description of Work: A complete home security system was quoted and then installed. Keith figured out what could be used from our old alarm system, and then helped us decide what kind of detectors we needed and how many. It was more expensive than ADP's quote, but there is no comparison in the quality of the work.

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE/SALES REPS ARE NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. I HAD TO CALL MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND TO EVEN GET PRICE QUOTES. FINALLY, I GOT SO FED UP THAT I EMAILED A COMPLAINT TO KEYTH HIMSELF. AFTER THAT, I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH SERVICE. I WAS ASSIGNED A DIFFERENT SALES REP WHO IS VERY RESPONSIVE AND COMPETENT. BUT, BECAUSE OF MY INITIAL BAD EXPERIENCE, I HAVE TO GIVE THEM LOW SCORES IN CERTAIN CATEGORIES. THAT SAID, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY THEY HANDLED MY COMPLAINT ONCE I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION.

I SELECTED KEYTH SECURITY AFTER GETTING ESTIMATES AND IN-HOME VISITS FROM FOUR OTHER ALARM COMPANIES. THE KEYTH SALESMAN HAD VASTLY SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE OF ALARMS AND SECURITY ISSUES THAN ANY OF THE SALEPEOPLE FROM ADT, AN ADT-AUTHORIZED DEALER LOCATED IN CHICAGO, BRINKS, OR PROTECTION ONE. MARIANNE AT KEYTH'S MAIN OFFICE WAS ALSO PARTICULARLY HELPFUL IN ALLOWING ME TO CUSTOMIZE MY SYSTEM AND STAY WITHIN MY BUDGET, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO ADDING THE RADIO BACKUP. THE SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED ON THE FIRST SATURDAY AFTER I SIGNED THE CONTRACT, AND THE TECHNICIAN WHO CAME TO MY PLACE WAS CAREFUL AND PROFESSIONAL. I ALSO GOT GREAT SUPPORT AFTER A FALSE ALARM (RELATED TO AN OVERLY SENSITIVE SHOCK/VIBRATION MONITOR ON A WINDOW) -- FROM BOTH MY SALESMAN AND THE SUPERVISOR OF KEYTH'S CHICAGO OFFICE (USMAN). MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE SIGNS THEY PROVIDE (FOR POSTING IN YOUR WINDOWS) ONLY SAY ''KEYTH'' -- THERE'S NO WAY FOR AN UNSOPHISTICATED BADGUY TO KNOW THAT'S AN ALARM COMPANY.
Description of Work: INSTALLED A WIRELESS ALARM SYSTEM IN MY THREE-BEDROOM CONDO, INCLUDING SENSORS ON THREE DOORS, MULTIPLE WINDOW SENSORS WITH SHOCK/VIBRATION CAPABILITY, GLASS-BREAK MONITORS, SMOKE DETECTORS, PANIC BUTTONS, A GARAGE DOOR SENSOR, AND A RADIO BACKUP DEVICE (IN CASE THE PHONE LINES ARE CUT OR INOPERABLE).

I LEFT A VOICE MAIL ON HIS DIRECT LINE A WEEK LATER. NO RESPONSE. I LEFT ANOTHER MESSAGE AND STILL NOTHING.
