The service was excellent. My only issue was that there was a surcharge tacked on my bill for them to come to Westborough that they did not tell me about when I made the appointment. I'm not far from Worcester and I've hired other companies from Worcester and Framingham and never been charged a service charge. I'd hire them again, but only for a job that makes it worth it.
Description of Work: I had a couple locks changed.

The work was urgent for us, and it was done the same day. Phone contact was congenial, helpful, and responsive. Everything went exactly as described. Matt Roberts had an excellent manner in the house. Very competent, knowledgeable, and friendly. Would definitely rehire.
Description of Work: I needed all the exterior locks on the house re-keyed to a single key from four separate keys, two of which could not be found. I also needed two locksets to be replaced. This was 11 cylinders in all.

I called the same day I closed on my new house. They were able to send someone out the very next day. The service technician was very professional, responsive to my requests, and made some good suggestions. He was very concerned to be done to accommodate my schedule, and was able to stay over his initial time estimate to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction because I added a couple items after I had set up the initial visit by phone.
Description of Work: Re-keyed four door locks, added 3 deadbolts, replaced one keyed doorknob. Had to pick 3 locks because of missing keys. Also adjusted one lock because of binding issue.

We noticed the broken door lock on Thursday evening, so I called Joseph's Lock and Safe on Friday morning. The guy whom I spoke with told me that they didn't sell the kind of lock I needed (a decorated handle), so I should buy the lock myself and once I had it, call them to installed. I also asked for the estimated cost of the job and he said between $105-130. I got the lock on Monday evening, I called again on Tuesday morning and I have the technician at home 8:30 am on Wednesday. I don't remember the technician name for sure (maybe James?), but he was super kind and professional. He took care of every detail and also warned me that he might chip a little bit the door paint (that he actually didn't). He arrived by 8:30 and left at 8:55 am. And the price was lower than the original phone estimate. I am really happy with this provider and I will call them again when I need it.
Description of Work: He remove a broken bolt from main entrance door and installed a new lock.

I recently purchased a new home. I called Joseph's Lock & Safe on Thursday and requested service as soon as possible. The locksmith was able to schedule the work for the following day. He called ahead of time to let me know he was approximately 30 minutes away and he arrived in that window of time. He re-keyed 2 doors in a half hour.
Description of Work: Re-keyed 2 different locks and provided several spares as requested.

Matt, the technician, was very friendly and professional. He did a great job explaining things and was meticulous about his work. I highly recommend him, and he was a credit to the company. The quality of the work is excellent, however the final price was much higher than I had anticipated. Overall very happy though.
Description of Work: re-keyed the locks on one door, installed new deadbolt and door handle on the other door. Repositioned latches so the doors would be easier to close.

These guys are SUPER. I called Monday morning with a non-urgent request to change our locks after my wallet and keys were stolen over the weekend. They initially apologized that they couldn't get to it immediately, but then made time for me within about an hour. They were on time, did a professional job despite the freezing cold, and even allowed me to pay after the fact by phone since only the nanny was home when they came. I would absolutely use them again.

Work was performed by Remie who was very professional and clearly very knowledgeable. He was about 15 minutes late but he had called ahead to let me know so I wasn't worried. 7 locks were removed and the pins rekeyed in their mobile locksmith van. I had the keys for 6 of the 7 locks from the previous owner. Having the key to the lock makes the rekeying process go a lot easier I was told. I didn't have a key for one of the locks so the tech had to "pick" it in order to be able to rekey it. This didn't slow him down really at all and he moved efficiently through the entire process in about an hour including making 5 copies of the key. He answered all my questions to my satisfaction and provided advice on some other locks as well. Overall a great experience!
Description of Work: Rekeyed 7 locks at my house. Locks were rekeyed to be able to use the same key. 5 copies or the key were made and provided.

Job went really well. I was locked out of the garage when it was hit by lightening and didn't have keys to the side door! (Previous owner couldn't find them. I hadn't gotten to fixing them at that point.) I talked to the dispatcher at Joseph's he was sorry he couldn't send someone out until the next day, which wasn't a problem for me to wait. Technician that came out arrived on time, and called to let me know he was on his way. He was very professional. He was able to get the locks opened. He did say that he found a problem with the door knob and didn't want to make a key in case I had issues later. He did make them for the dead bolt on sight which was very helpful. If I had to have to have future work done, I will definitely contact Joseph's Lock and Safe!
Description of Work: Opened two locks on garage door; knob and deadbolt locks. Made 2 keys for deadbolt.

I recently moved and had the locks changed on my old new home. The technician called to advise me he was going to be about 15 minutes late; his estimate was perfect. When he saw the rather hinky job on the deadbolt on my side door, he discussed the pros and cons of changing it and provided viable options. When I casually mentioned that I hoped to eventually get a new/ door, he made some helpful suggestions for that scenario (which did not involve using his company). All in all, I found him to be very courteous, considerate, helpful and professional. I would not hesitate to use this company again or to recommend them.

The overall experience went very well. The locksmith was on time, friendly, but professional. I would have given an A to the quality but due to the condition of my lock the key sticks a bit, but was told to call if it becomes an issue. I will certainly use this company again if and when I decide to replace my front door lock.

I called Joseph's Lock and Safe to have someone come look at the lock on the door that would not lock. They were able to schedule an appointment the same day. The service technician showed up on time and was able to ascertain that the problem was not with the lock but that the sealing in the door had become frozen and was not allowing the door to close properly. He showed me how to unfreeze the door sealant (Hair Dryer or pouring alcohol on it). I also had him make three additional keys to the lock. The keys he made for the lock work flawlessly. No struggling with getting the door to lock/unlock. I would not hesitate to contact Joseph's Lock and Safe in the future. A very positive experience.
Description of Work: Front door would not close and lock. I thought the door had shrunk in the cold and that the strike plates needed to be repositioned. John, the technician, found that the door was not closing due to the fact that the bottom door sealant was frozen solid.

Technician called at the appointed time that I was told he would call and arrived at the appointment time.

Tech cleaned up and was finished in no time.
