Description of Work: Surefit replaced my front door deadbolt and door lock. I found both the person who took my initial call and the locksmith who performed the work to be extremely professional, informative and helfpul. The locks are secure and work perfectly and are a huge improvement over the ones I'd had installed by another company 10 years earlier. My mom has used Sure Fit Security for over 30 years and I should have just followed her example from the beginning. :)

Description of Work: my elderly mom wanted to change all the locks on three entry doors for security reasons, but balked at the price. at the installer's recommendation, we allowed for only the change of the double-cylinder deadbolts and left the lower locks alone. This method reduced the total cost to a manageable level and still provided the security my mom wanted.

We wanted to install a deadbolt high on the door that joined my husband's office to the garage, primarily because our 4 year old son was opening the door without us knowing, but we also wanted the added security. We already had Medeco locks and keys on our exterior doors -- all use the same key, which is convenient. So for this next installation, we wanted to be able to use the same key again, which is why we called Sure-Fit in the first place (they have our Medeco key on file.) I called first to get a quote and to see if they would accept the Angie's List discount I found from a previously unhappy customer -- they said yes. Michael came on time and after examining the door, he came upon an issue with our door not being thick enough for the bracket to fit, and a problem with installing the type of lock at the height we wanted. He gave some other options and we finally settled on a regular keybolt using a different key (not Medeco). He ended up having to place it at a lower height. All in all, Michael was very patient as he worked through the problems, listened to our issues, and waited for us to make a decision. He gave great alternative suggestions that ultimately saved us money in the end and solved our problem.

We had a terrible experience with this company. There was poor communication between the locksmith and the main office. As a result, the locksmith arrived with inadequate materials on multiple occasions. The locks were keyed incorrectly several times. They ended up coming no fewer than 8 times to our home, which was a tremendous waste of our time (and theirs!). When I requested additional keys there was very poor follow through, and I had to call several times over several weeks. Eventually the supervisor called and I got the keys within a few days. The office person told me in March that she found a slip under her desk dated from January with a request for the keys....At one point the technician even said to me that the office staff really didn't know what they were doing. One of the door nobs that was supposedly repaired was faulty. The door would swing right open in the wind because the latch didn't work correctly. I had read good reviews and so was very disappointed with this company. I would definitely not use them again or recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Main house and separate basement unit re-keyed. Several door nobs repaired.

The member was handled improperly. The technician handling his service request was reprimanded, not only for mishandling the service request, but for blaming it on the office personnel. Mention this post and get 50% off the service call through June 2010. We want to turn around a post like this as it is our desire to have happy customers. Ask for Kate or Sue.

I appreciated that the company had specific staff available to answer questions. Because we are new home owners, we value a company that takes the time to explain their products and services in detail. Though the staffer put me on hold after most questions making the phone call more lengthy (thus the "B" grade instead of "A" for professionalism), I appreciated that she was willing to get correct information for me. There was some confusion regarding labor charges on top of service charges, but a second phone call cleared that up. By the time we figured the service call fee, labor charges and materials, the project cost was far beyond what we were willing to spend. We ended up not using the company because we found a more cost effective option to meet our needs.
Description of Work: Called to get quote replacing several deadbolts and rekeying the remaining locks on our single family home.

IT IS NOT INEXPENSIVE TO HAVE A LOCKSMITH PROVIDE SERVICES. THERE ARE MANY FACTORS INVOLVED IN GETTING GOOD SECURITY. LOCKS ARE TESTED AND RATED ACCORDING TO THEIR RESISTANCE TO FORCED ENTRY. GRADE 1 HAS THE GREATEST RESISTANCE, GRADE 2 IS IN THE MIDDLE, GRADE 3 THE LEAST, AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE LOCKS THAT AREN'T EVEN TESTED (MANY IMPORTS). OFTEN PEOPLE THINK THAT BY BUYING CHEAPER LOCKS FROM THE HARDWARE STORE THEY ARE SAVING MONEY, WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY PURCHASING IS A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AS THEY HAVE OBTAINED LOCKS OF POOR QUALITY. SOME FOLKS FEEL THEY SAVE MONEY BY SPENDING THE DOLLARS A LOCKSMITH WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID BY PUTTING THAT MONEY INTO A "SECURITY SYSTEM". ALARM COMPANIES HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB MARKETING THEIR ALARM SYSTEMS AS "SECURITY SYSTEMS". A TRUE SECURITY SYSTEM INCORPORATES FENCES, LANDSCAPING, LIGHTING, PERIMETER SECURITY (SECURITY STORM DOORS, WINDOW BARS, REINFORCED STRIKE PLATES, GRADE 1 DEADBOLTS), A SAFE OR FIRE RESISTANT FILE CABINET AND AN ALARM SYSTEM. I REFER TO LOCKS, SAFES, AND QUALITY HARDWARE AS "PROTECTION DEVICES". I REFER TO AN ALARM SYSTEM AS A "DETECTION DEVICE". PROTECTION DEVICES HELP KEEP THE BAD GUY OUT WHILE A DETECTION DEVICE LETS YOU KNOW WHEN THE BAD GUY HAS GOTTEN IN. THESE ARE TWO OF THE MOST COMMON ALTERNATIVES TO LOCKSMITH SERVICE. I APPRECIATE THE MEMBER'S POSITIVE COMMENTS AND WE ARE CONTINUALLY TRYING TO IMPROVE THOSE AREAS WE RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON. I HOPE THE MEMBER WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

I called Sure-Fit hoping they could come out the same day, which they did. They re-keyed my locks in about a half an hour. The bill was high because it was emergency rush service. I had just discovered that a key had gone missing. They did not properly re-attach my front doorknob, so I had to call them back out to fix it. Also, the duplicate keys are a bit stiff in the locks but that's probably because they need breaking-in.
Description of Work: Re-keyed two locks each on front and back doors. This was emergency same-day service.

WE APPRECIATE THE MEMBER'S BUSINESS. IT IS EXPENSIVE TO CALL CONTRACTORS OUT IN THE EVENING. KEEP IN MIND THE FOLKS DOING THE WORK HAVE ALREADY BEEN ON THE JOB ALL DAY AND THE LAW REQUIRES THAT THEY BE PAID HOURLY (UNLESS THEY ARE A MANAGER AND CAN BE PUT ON A SALARY). THAT MEANS THEY MUST BE PAID TIME AND 1/2 AFTER 8 HOURS, WHICH MEANS WE MUST CHARGE THE SAME. THERE IS NO INCREASE IN THE COST OF MATERIALS, JUST SERVICE RELATED ACTIVITY. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE DOORKNOB HAD TO BE ADJUSTED, BUT WE DID ASK THE CUSTOMER WHEN IT WOULD BE CONVENIENT TO COME BACK OUT AND OF COURSE THERE WERE NO CHARGES. AS TO THE KEYS WORKING STIFFLY, THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THAT AT ANY TIME. I WILL CONTACT THE CUSTOMER AND MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO OTHER DETAILS THAT NEED OUR ATTENTION. THE CUSTOMER WAS PLEASANT AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HELPING HIM WITH ANY FUTURE NEEDS HE HAS.

The safe guy was very knowledgeable and professional. It took about 2 hours to complete. My only complaint would be the communication from the main office to myself and then to the safe guy. My messages/calls went unreturned and if I hadn't called to confirm the appointment on the day of, I'm not sure it would have happened, but once the technician arrived I couldn't have been more pleased by the work. For a couple hours worked $475 seemed a bit high, but they told me it was their flat rate for my type of safe lock replacement. The first person I spoke with from Sure Fit explained that he could give me an estimate over the phone when I provided the brand and serial number for the safe and that it could be anywhere from $300 to $450. That turned out to be untrue the next day.
Description of Work: Had a AMSEC floor safe lock replaced.

THERE IS A WIDE VARIETY OF SAFE MANUFACTURERS AND LEVELS OF BURGLARY RESISTANCE THAT AFFECT THE COST WHEN GAINING ENTRY TO A SAFE. WE APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS LISTED BY OUR CUSTOMER AND WILL CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO BETTER ESTIMATE THE COST OF A SAFE GAIN ENTRY. OFTEN THE BEST ESTIMATE IS GIVEN AT THE TIME WE ACTUALLY SEE THE SAFE AS ESTIMATES OVER THE PHONE ARE ROUGH AT BEST. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR INPUT.

I was able to schedule the service via email. A follow up email was sent after the work was done, from the owner, to assure that I was satisfied, as well. The service, timeliness, cost, and quality was superb. The work was done very quickly. "No Muss, no fuss". I wasn't even late for work, because of the prompt arrival and quick work. My preferences were asked, and noted in choosing the types of locks, and keys. I will hire them again, when I have more work in this area to be done in the future.

This company is very reliable. Apparently, the old mailbox lock wasn't even up to code, and they changed that for me. I am very thankful, because I had no idea. They make a person feel more safe in their home, and they are always dependable.

I used them before and was pleased, so when I needed locks rekeyed I called them first. They answered the phone promptly and courteously, scheduled an appointment efficiently, showed up on time, and completed the requested work quickly and without hassle. I did not seek estimates from other companies and was a bit surprised at the cost, but overall was pleased with the result.
Description of Work: Rekeyed three locks, repaired the front door lock and two other doorlocks.

WE ARE GLAD THAT YOUR EXPERIENCE WAS A POSITIVE ONE. I'M SURE IF YOU HAD SHOPPED AROUND FOR PRICING YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND THAT WE ARE COMPETITIVE WE ESTABLISHED LOCKSMITHS IN THE AREA. MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS NO SPECIFIC LICENSE REQUIRED IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND TO BE A LOCKSMITH, OTHER THAN A BUSINESS LICENSE. THAT MEANS THERE ARE NO CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD CHECKS DONE BY THE STATE AND NO TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FROM THE STATE. THERE ARE OTHER COMPANIES THAT MAY CHARGE LESS, BUT MOST OFTEN THEY WILL NOT BE COMPANIES THAT HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 40 YEARS (1962 FOR US) AND THEY WILL NOT HAVE RETAIL OUTLETS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF STABILITY. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE LACK OF LICENSING, MANY PEOPLE START THEIR BUSINESS WITHOUT ANY FORMAL TRAINING. THEY DO NOT KNOW THE BUILDING CODES OR LIFE SAFETY CODES OR EVEN THE TYPES OF HARDWARE AVAILABLE TO HANDLE THE DIFFERENT NEEDS OF DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. AS A MEMBER OF THE LOCAL LOCKSMITH ASSOCIATION, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH LEGISLATORS AND THE MARYLAND STATE POLICE TO TRY AND GET LICENSING THAT WILL PROVIDE AT LEAST MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO PROMOTE THEMSELVES AS LOCKSMITHS. I NOTICED THAT ANGIE'S LIST SURVEYS THEIR CLIENT LIST ABOUT A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS. I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF RESPONDENTS THINK LOCKSMITHS ARE LICENSED (OTHER THAN A BUSINESS LICENSE). WOULDN'T YOU? WELL, THIS RESPONSE WAS A LOT LONGER THAN INTENDED. THANKS AGAIN!
