Description of Work: Called Sherman Lock in 2013 to repair three locks. Locksmith did a great job so called them again when a gate lock started acting up in spring of 2014. Very impressed with knowledgeable, professional, friendly locksmiths. Any time we have a problem with a lock, we will be calling Sherman.

Description of Work: Service was scheduled for Saturday May 9 between 10:00 am and noon. The service professional arrived at 10:00 am, reviewed the situation and completed the work within thirty minutes. Work done on time and to a high level of satisfaction. Would definitely recommend them to others, and if needed, use them again.

Description of Work: I went there looking for a specific key to be made, under the impression they had purchased a defunct locksmiths list. They didn't, but were very helpful and honest about who did and even looked up something for me at their behest. We have used Sherman Lock in the past and always found them to be fair and extremely honest. Traits that are these days! I would always recommend them.

Fantastic! See above.
Description of Work: The tumblers in the ignition of my 2003 Honda Pilot had worn so that I struggled to insert the key into the ignition. Rather than cause further damage, my husband contacted Jeff at Sherman Lock the same day as the problem occured. Jeff was very friendly and personable over the phone and also when my husband met him. He could not have been more helpful and professional. He gave my husband the confidence to take the ignition assembly out of the car so that just that part could be taken to Sherman Locks. Jeff took the ignition apart and reconditioned the unit. We had it back the next day and my husband reinstalled it in the car. He also made a new key from the most worn of the existing keys. Everything works perfectly! Honda wanted approximately $900.00 to do the same job. My husband is also a contractor on Angie's List. He was very impressed with Sherman Locks and he will definitely recommend them as often as he can.

We called them on Tuesday, they gave us an estimate over the phone that was within a few dollars of right on (phone estimate didn't include the trivial cost of making us new keys). Mike showed up as promised on Friday, right on time. He rekeyed all five of our exterior locks. He was friendly, professional, and fast (but without hurrying). A couple of our locks really sucked (didn't want to turn, didn't want to let go of keys). He took care of all of that. I feel like I ought to bulk up this review somehow, but what can I say? They came when they said they would, did what they said they would, and charged what they said they would. What else could a person reasonably ask for?
Description of Work: Mike rekeyed five locks on our house.

Absolutely first rate. This company was recommended by a very discerning real estate lawyer who has had a lot of experience with locksmiths. I had already called 6 others. Most had answering machines. Sherman is only one of two that had a person answering the phone. The Sherman woman was very pleasant and accommodating. The other company that had a person answering had a guy who gave me a long line of razzmatazz about how difficult and expensive the servicing of mortise locks is; and that most as old as mine have to be replaced. That may be true; but I felt I was being fattened for the kill. The owner of Sherman's is the person who showed up, right at the beginning of the time-frame I'd been promised. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He disassembled the lock and determined that all that was needed was lubrication, which he applied. The lock now works perfectly. He also applied a silicon lubricant to the edge of the door and the jamb. That solved the problem of the door itself binding. There were no flourishes or exaggerations. He didn't try to sell me a new lock. The price he charged, $70, seems to be in line with the prevailing charge for a service call, if not a little cheaper. I paid $78 to another company at another house last summer.
Description of Work: A 1930s-vintage front door mortise lock was binding and inoperable. The door was also extremely hard to open and close after a recent paint job.

When I contacted Sherman Lock initially we arranged for an appointment between the window of 3-5PM. On the day of my scheduled appointment I received a call from Sherman Lock just before 3PM to let me know they would arrive shortly and arrived at my home about 10-15 minutes later. I had my locks rekeyed. I was also having trouble with the deadbolt and (I believe his name was Michael and he was very pleasant) explained that because the house had settled it was no longer lining up correctly. He filed the area to help the deadbolt slide into place and took time to make sure I could manage the lock before he left. I requested four keys and they were made on spot. I was very pleased with the service; especially because I did not tell them I would be writing a review on Angie's List. I would definitely recommend Sherman Lock and will not hesitate to use them again. Please note I listed n/a regarding my review of the price because I did not shop around for other quotes or estimates.
Description of Work: I had the lock to my home rekeyed.

I called on a Saturday morning to inquire; she told me how to proceed, I removed the locks from the doors and took them to the, and a few hours later came back to pick them up along with a bunch of duplicate keys. They were very friendly, efficient and competent, and it all worked perfectly.
Description of Work: He re-keyed a bunch of cylinders of two different types, all to match an existing key.

We were VERY pleased with Sherman Lock Co. Every stage of our job with them was professional and positive, from scheduling via email and phone with Eileen, to the work completed by Alain, and prompt follow-up with an unexpected request we made for strike-plates (see above). Overall, a VERY positive experience. We would use them again, and recommend them readily.
Description of Work: We bought a house, and had them change all the locks (9 doors at this place!). While Alain the owner was here performing the work, we asked if he could also install two (new) deadbolts. Fortunately, he had the parts on the truck, and he was gracious about adding this to the work already scheduled (we're SO glad we did that add-in). Alain was very professional, and weathered our day-after-closing chaos (the cleaners were here at the same time, and friends stopped in, etc.) with professionalism and calm. We also wanted the mudroom door keyed differently, as we expected various vendors in and out for the first 6 months, after which time we'd re-key it to match the rest of the house. Alain suggested an improvement on our plan, making the mudroom door lock a sub-set of the house locks. This way, the "change keys" would only work on the mudroom door (they keys to loan to vendors) while our whole-house keys would work on all the locks, as well as the mudroom door, so we wouldn't have to carry separate keys for that door. He understood our needs, and was pro-active to meet those needs. Also, my husband wanted a different strike-plate for the door frame (the ones that came with the house weren't sized correctly, and it was gouging the wood). The exact item we needed was not on the truck, but Alain took the measurements, and they mailed it VERY promptly, and my husband was able to change them out easily.

Great. The deadbolts blend in as well as a modern lock could with old brass hardware. The only surprise was that there was a service charge of $70 on top of $160 to have the deadbolts installed(in addition deadbolts were $84 each) and the knobs tightened up and I was expecting about a $300 cost because I didn't know I would be charged $60 for the tightening up of the knobs and that there was an additional service charge on top of the labor charge. The bill is mailed to you, instead of presenting it to you, so you don't realize it at the time of service. But overall the experience was a good one but in the future I will ask for an estimate in writing so there are no surprises.
Description of Work: Installed 2 new deadbolts for antique doors and tightened up 2 loose doorknobs & mechanisms.

I would recommend these locksmiths anywhere they will service as amongst the best I've ever seen.
Description of Work: New owners of a house I was overseeing were moving in as the locksmith arrived. He removed the 5 locks which either had no keys or needed re-keying to a single key, went back to his truck to work in the sweltering heat, returned the cores to the locks all in short order. He even made an adjustment on a door lock he said was broken so all worked perfectly.

Sherman Lock returned my initial call quickly and set up an appointment. The appointment was met precisely, and the problem was taken care of.
Description of Work: A doorknob lock was jammed and unusable. The locksmith quickly identified and fixed the problem, and because it was so minor, did not charge.

THE WORK WAS DONE EFFICIENTLY AND NEATLY. IT WAS EASY TO SCHEDULE IN COORDINATION WITH INSTALLATION OF THE DOOR. THE LOCK SET WAS PURCHASED FROM SHERMAN'S SOME TIME BEFORE THE INSTALLATION, ALAIN KNEW HOW TO GET EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, WHICH WAS NOT TYPICAL.
