John was very diligent. He came quickly as the door would not open. He was unable to fix the lock, so he quickly called the door company to get the cost and delivery time info. He made sure the door would at least open and close so the inconvenience would be minimized. He called to advise the delivery date on the lock mech. When it was delivered, he called to set up a time to install it. He was prompt for both appointments we set up. I was very pleased. He did a great job - and as quickly as possible. He was quite interested that I found him on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Storm door was jammed. Would not open, or unlock; the lock was stripped. John made 2 visits - one to determine problem. An entire new lock and handle mechanisn needed to be ordered. A second visit was made to change the lock/handle mechanism. The lock was also rekeyed to match the keys I already had.

I was pleased that John, the locksmith, was prompt, courteous and no nonsense. He did a good job on three old troublesome doors and his estimate was easy to understand. I thought the price was high, but now realize just how much work was involved > 3 hours and it very much needed a professional.
Description of Work: Changed 3 locks and deadbolts on 3 very old doors.

PROMPT AND DID GOOD WORK. CHARGED $30 FOR COMING OUT AFTER 10 P.M. I THINK $120 FOR TWO TUMBLERS AND ONE MAILBOX LOCK IS RATHER EXCESSIVE.
Description of Work: REPLACED LOCK ON MAILBOX, AND TUMBLERS ON TWO DOOR LOCKS THAT WERE IDENTICAL. THIS WAS DONE ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS.

WE WERE GLAD JOHN COULD COME SO QUICKLY BECAUSE WE HAD JUST MOVED IN AND WERE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO LOCK THAT BACK DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, AND THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DIDN'T GIVE US A KEY TO THAT DOOR SO WE COULDN'T LOCK IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. HE CAME AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR $140, DID THE JOB ON THE SPOT AND THE FINAL PRICE WAS $180 WITH THE DUPLICATE KEYS AND THE GRINDING HE DIDN'T INCLUDE IN THE ORIGINAL PRICE.
Description of Work: JOHN CAME THE DAY AFTER WE CALLED AND REKEYED 4 LOCKS FOR US INCLUDING THE COMPLICATED ONE ON OUR DOUBLE BACK DOOR. IN ADDITION, THE PRIOR OWNERS HAD NOT LINED UP THE BOLT AND THE HOLE FOR THE BOLT, SO HE HAD TO GRIND IT DOWN TO FIT.

JOHN WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN HE HEARD I WAS CHANGING THESE LOCKS BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF MY SOON TO BE EX-HUSBAND. JOHN ALSO TOOK TIME TO EXPLAIN MY ALARM SECURITY SYSTEM AND HOW THAT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED WITH NEW CODES. HE ALSO SUGGESTED I HAVE THE GARAGE CHECKED FOR ELECTRICAL INS AND OUTS THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR OPENERS. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL, TRULY CONCERNED, AND HIS PARTNER WAS A JOY FOR MY DOG, HAYLEY, PLAYING FETCH WITH HER FOR HOURS.
Description of Work: JOHN CAME THE DAY I CALLED AND CHANGED ALL SEVEN DOOR LOCKS, ALONG WITH REPLACING LOCKS THAT WERE RUSTED.

JOHN ASSESSED THE SITUATION AND HAD EVERYTHING HE NEEDED IN HIS TRUCK. I ACTUALLY EXPECTED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE TO BUY A SPECIAL LOCK FOR SUCH AN OLD DOOR. HE WAS VERY PRECISE IN HIS WORK AND DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB. I'VE HAD JOHN'S LOCK-UP INC. DO WORK FOR ME SEVERAL TIMES, FROM RETRIEVING CAR KEYS LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR, CHANGING LOCKS, REPLACING LOCKS, INSTALLING EXTRA SECURITY, ETC. HE DOESN'T WORK OUT OF AN OFFICE, HE'S ALWAYS ON THE ROAD AND ALWAYS ANSWERS HIS PHONE. HE'LL COME OUT IMMEDIATELY, ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCIES. HE'S VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.
Description of Work: I NEEDED A NEW DOORKNOB AND LOCK INSTALLED ON AN OLD DOOR IN AN APARTMENT OF MINE. I COULDN'T FIND A LOCKSET TO FIT THE DOOR MYSELF.
