Poorly. I told Michael Lanseigne that I wasn't happy with the installation. The keys didn't turn easily as they did in my previous home. The key is very difficult to get into the front door. The round disk that the key is inserted through has to be held steadily in place while the key is shimmied up and down to remove it from the door. When I put the key in the garage service door, it just turns round and round but nothing happens. He offered to refund my money and begged me not to write a negative review on Angie's List as that is where he had gotten all his customer's from. I told him that I didn't want my money back and that I just wanted my locks installed properly. I called him today, he said I treated him poorly, would never come to my house again, was rude, wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise and then hung up on me. During the one way conversation he said that they weren't his product implying that I should have purchased the product from him, and, if he knew of any problems at the time, he should have made me aware. After the unsatisfactory installation, I was angry. He offered to give me my money back, however, I told him that I just wanted my locks installed properly. He didn't refund my money. His webpage also claims that the business is Better Business Accredited, however, I cannot find this business listed on the Better Business Bureau webpage. The business offers NO GUARANTEES on their work.
Description of Work: When I moved to New Hampshire, I brought the high security Medeco locks that I had from my previous residence and hired Michael to install them in my new home. The locks cost $1199.62, it is illegal for copies of the keys to be made and I purchased them from vflock.com located at 117 Town Center Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406.

Response from Chelmsford Lock & Key Inc
I installed [Member Name Removed]'s Used locks 3 and 1/2 years and everything worked well, she mentioned that the inside thumb turn had play in it and i explained that it was normal for that lock. one of the latches on her locks needed to be replace and as I did not sell them to her i could not warranty them so she ordered a replacement latch and when I billed her for the additional labor she was upset, so to keep the peace I returned her second check uncashed and that was the last time I heard from her until yesterday when she demanded I return and repair her locks. These are Medeco high security locks and I am a Medeco dealer with over 12 years of experience. The key being very difficult to get into the door she mentioned is an internal problem withe the lock and unrelated to the installation. The issue with her garage lock is the first I am hearing about it it was tested at the time of Installation and worked fine and no one is going to warranty an installation from 3 & 1/2 years ago She also lists the job completion date of 8/30/17 it in fact was 3/5/2014. I never begged her to not leave a negative review, I never offered to give her a full refund as everything worked when installed. i have 26 A reviews and now 1 F so I think my past performance history tells the story. I stand behind what I do

Very nice on Phone, service charges told up front before appointment. They showed up withing the time frame I was told, and was very friendly. He went straight to work, did answer all my questions that I had for him with no problems. Very neat and tidy in his work habit, you would of never known that he did some drilling. Workmanship was quality work and price quoted was priced billed. Would recommend this person to anyone who needed a locksmith.

Mike did a great job. He was running late but he was very good about staying in touch and giving us a new ETA. Once there, I was happy with his professionalism. The deadbolt required a key the seller hadn't given us and he offered a smart solution. The house is definitely more secure now. I would recommend him.

Mike was very punctual and professional. He called beforehand to make sure we were still set for our appointment time. He explained what he was doing and even mentioned he would not recommend changing out the deadbolts, just the locks which was much less expensive. The work was done quickly and all of the locks work great. Very fair price. I would use again.

Mike quickly assessed the situation with this lock system, which in addition to the center bolts also has top and bottom bolts. He discovered that the door had become out of true and was binding the lock bolts. He carefully pried the door open and ascertained that the lock was working properly. He then used a set of adjustments on the side of the door (we had no idea they were there) to re-level the door. Finally, he showed us how to lubricate the lock. The door now works perfectly! Mike was very professional and careful and was happy to explain what was going on with the door. He did a nice job.
Description of Work: We had a lock on a french door that became stuck and we could not open the door. Mike fixed it for us.

Response time is good and he works quickly. He was delayed getting to my house, and I had to call him for a status -- he didn't call me, which I would have appricated. Although his hourly rate is reasonable, I found his lock prices expensive. I paid $10/lock at Home Depot and he wanted $50+ for each of his locks (although not the same brand, they serve the same purpose). He allowed me to buy my own locks and to help with removing the existing locks, which saved me a lot of money.

I closed on my house on the 25th of July at about 1pm, and immediately called Chelmsford Lock to see if he'd be able to re-key all of the door locks for me. Not only was he able to re-key all of the doors for me, but he was able to do it same day! We had five doors re-keyed for $170. Very professional service, very friendly. So friendly in fact that I called Chelmsford Lock back on the 8th of August to have him re-key the locks on my apartment doors. Again, very professional, punctual, (very important as I was meeting him on my lunch hour), and friendly. I highly recommend Chelmsford Lock. I gave the company a "B" for price only because I have no idea how much keying new locks should cost, but it seemed reasonable to me.
Description of Work: Re-keyed five locks at my new house and two at my current apartment. Great job!
