The service was great. Since I have an older home with an older but very nice door, the lock system is old. John showed me ways to get around a problem I may have in the future without having to call the locksmith again for the same problem.
Description of Work: John replaced the knob on my entry door and changed the tumbler so that I could use the same key for the deadbolt and the main lock.

John?s Lock-Up was prompt in estimating the job, ordering the hardware and rescheduling the installation. He left the old hardware and I am pleased with the quality of the new hardware and the quoted price of the job..
Description of Work: I needed two storm doors keyed and found the referral’s for John’s Lock-Up to be closest to what I was looking for. The owner/ operator immediately set-up an appointment to estimate the job. He ordered the parts and within a week scheduled to install the handles. John was prompt, and even in the cold weather was very careful of my new doors when installing the handles, which were a higher grade quality than the originals.

I broke my car key off in the lock of a hatchback automobile. I called John and he was able to remove the broken key for the lock with little trouble and a good price. I asked him if he could make me replacement and said he would the next day since he had to make sure he had the appropriate replacement in stock. He called the next day and we met up and after some difficulty getting the key cut (not his fault but toyota's) he was able to make a key that worked better than the original. John is a very funny guy and would most certainly recommend him again.

Easy as can be -- rekeyed all of the door locks on three main entry doors into the house. Although we wanted to have new hardware, we were given good advice as to why to stick with what we had in place, at least for the time being. Called on Monday and he came on Tuesday. Easy to work with. Will use again.

Excellent job. Came to our home the day of request to look over the doors, provided an estimate within a couple of days and installed the locks within 1 week. We went to higher security locks than we previously had on our home (which were the builder locks). We love the locks - they work wonderfully and are beautiful! Excellent job done by John in a timely fashion.

The job was handled very professionally, and completed without a problem. I found John to be very personable, even bonding with our resident Alaskan Malamute who can be overly friendly.
Description of Work: Lock on rear door failed to work properly. The broken mechanism was removed and new one installed. John also advised me about the incorrect operation of deadbolt locks which had been installed when doors were purchased, demonstrating how it should work. His time did not allow that item to be corrected at the time of this visit, but will definitely have him back to correct.

I didn?t like them at all. They were tremendously expensive. I had them come out twice. They charged us $1200 the first time and charged us again when they came back. I just can?t stand the locks. The locksmith didn?t ask the right questions. He was very pushy about scheduling. I didn?t even figure out for like two months that when you open the door to your house with the key, you then have to turn around and re-lock it so that it stays closed. I have never lived in a house where you have to turn back around and lock the door behind yourself. I needed the door with a slam lock, which is pretty elementary and it?s the same with the front door. The locksmith made a provision on the front door so that my son who is two can open and walk out of the house. He then came back and I told him that I wanted the slam lock on the door. So he said that he would replace the whole handset. He also made another provision on the door which was high, so that would keep my son from being able to open it because he can?t reach it, but I have other kids too. I am not satisfied with the work he did at all. He has great ratings online, but not from me. I wouldn?t hire him again. I am sure he has plenty of clients that are satisfied with him. His personality seemed affable until he made a comment that I didn?t appreciate. It just didn?t go well. I would tell others not to go to him. He was punctual, but he showed up once by just saying that he was in the neighborhood and he would come to fix the locks. It?s not like the locks are totally unmanageable, but it?s not the way I wanted it.
Description of Work: Johns Lock-Up Inc. installed locks for us probably in September. The locksmith re-keyed a lot of locks in our house.

Response from Johns Lock-Up Inc
The member was show the locks before they were ordered and she approved them ,all the deadbolts were double keys , so her little son did not get out of the house,thats why she wanted me to change them, in the first place the door also has a knob entry lock with a turn button on the inside that was already in the house when they purchased it. They wanted all locks on one key.The second time i came back the only charge they received were for locks her HUSBAND ordered because he told me I AM THE BOSS OF THIS HOUSE NOT HER ! As for the front door we discussed this with her first then her husband and i told them either you put a double key on the front door so the little guy does not get out or i can put a safety latch near the top of the door so he can not reach it .She wanted the hole lock changed her HUSBAND told me to put the safety latch on the top of the door. We also talked about changing the front doors because she did not like the locks on the front doors I gave them a business card for a company that installs doors.We keep the customer informed about when the locks were in to come out and install them, she told me when she was going to be home.We called before we came out .She and her husband were arguing . She is trying to blame the locksmith for her decisions that she made while arguing with her husband.Just like HE told me I AM THE BOSS OF THIS HOUSE NOT HER!

I had a problem with my lock at my restaurant. I called John and he helped think about the problem. He said he was busy and would probably come the next day, so I went with a different provider. However, John is very professional and I would recommend.

I spent a little over $300 for the work. He was extremely personable and he was able to accomplish what I had needed him to accomplish like the keys in all the doors except in one of the doors as the door was eighty years old. I had nothing to compare to in terms of the price.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Johns Lock-Up Incorporated in August 2010. I happened to change the locks for the security doors and all the other doors in my house and the keys to all of them.

John and one other worker came to our new house with one day notice to change all locks (15 I think), and put all locks on one key. Since it is a house from 1922, that had been neglected a bit, this took two days. To add insult to injury, we did not yet have air conditioning in 100 degree weather! They worked non stop and came back the next day to finish up the job. Everything is working great!

I called on a Sunday and he called me back to let me know he would be available the next day. He called an hour before he would arrive and was prompt on time. He and his assistance started work immediately and was nothing but professional. He cleaned up after his work. I couldn't have been happier.

He is very good. He was punctual and even called to let me know he was near. He was very informative and explained to me that I probably would need to replace the locks because they were so old. He called me back a couple days later like he said he would with a quote. It was great, he's a good guy.

He made my condo safe and gave me a new mailbox key. I was pleasantly surprised. I will call John again because I broke the key in the lock - but I'm not sure how much it will cost to pull it out. This is the locksmith you want - the person who is very knowledgeable about their trade

Called on a Sunday, after a break-in. John responded and performed the work, within three hours of our call. He also explained, other security measures we could take, to deter future burglaries, including those unrelated to his trade (e.g. lighting, garage doors). I'm very impressed with his response time and low-pressure, casual yet professional approach.
