Great! Based upon reports of his work, I called him in the morning and he was able to do the work for me that afternoon. He provided an estimated time of arrival at our first contact, then updated me when he was going to be delayed. He provided an evaluation of my current equipment, noting that the locks still had a few good years of life remaining. As a new homeowner, I appreciated knowing that I would not have to replace all locks at this point in time. He was a delight to chat with. The dogs thought he was great!
Description of Work: Tim repaired one lock and re-keyed three locks in my external doors.

I was able to get an appointment for just a few days after I called. Tim called to tell me he would arrive a bit late due to traffic. Once he arrived, he quickly re-keyed the locks, and then was willing to modify one existing lock to better "fit" the new lock I had purchased. I am very happy with the work he did.
Description of Work: Re-keyed 3 exterior door locks to match 2 newer locks I had purchased. Chiseled one existing lock a bit to fit deadbolt better.

Tim rekeyed 5 door locks on our home, after my husband's briefcase was stolen with our house keys in it(and papers containing our address). He also, looked at some garage lock work I wanted done later and gave me an estimate. He was very quick and friendly, and he even did a little extra work for free on realigning my locks, after a handyman service left it sloppily aligned. I would recommend this guy anytime. Last time I needed a locksmith, I wish I would have known about this guy. I felt very safe and comfortable having him in my home, and after becoming a victim of theft, that made a world of difference to my family! Not that I'd like to experience this ever again, but if it happened, I know who I'd call!

Description of Work: Holt came out to our house to re-key six locks to work from one master and also made 8 total keys to fit the lock.

Excellent work. I called at 1:30 PM and he came out the same day at 3:30 talk about great service! Very professional and very efficient, not to mention I thought the price was excellent for the work performed. I will most certainly use this company again, in fact, I have one more lock I want re-keyed and I will be calling this company to do the job. Great service, great value, great company. Don't hesitate to call them for a job well done!

Tim was prompt, had the skills including great communication skills and he offered his own guarantee for the work.
Description of Work: Tim installed two new keyless locks for us. He was super easy to work with; knowledgeable, friendly and fair. He explained everything he had to do and then did it. In addition to installing the locks he rekeyed them (electronic keyless locks have keys in case of failure) so the keys we had for a different door would work for all doors. Finally he paid great attention to the work that had to be done to make the doorframe appear unaltered.

We closed on a new home and needed to have the locks re-keyed. I selected Tim's company based on Angie's list feedback, and was not disappointed. Tim called to let me know when he would be arriving. When he arrived, he explained our options and gave us our recommendations without giving us a hard sell. He performed his work very conscientiously, making sure all mechanisms were working perfectly, like he would if they were on his own home. There were several tasks mentioned above that were not part of the job I had described, bt he refused to leave them as is because of the security risk; he also gave me pointers on a few additional things to avoid to increase our security. He was very personable and a pleasure to chat with. I will use him again without hesitation whenever I need any locksmith services, and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Tim re-keyed screen/storm door, 2 entry doors, and replaced 1 entry door knob. He rekeyed all locks to one master key, which simplified our lives considerably. Three of our locks were not functioning correctly - 2 because of poor previous installations (1 lock was hitting a nail inside the door jamb, which he chiseled out and put an additional plate to secure it; 1 because the knob and lock were not installed properly, and 1 because the lock was misaligned internally and needed realignment.) He also did some maintenance on an original mortice knob and locking mechanism, which was not on the 'to do' list but which was very much appreciated. 1 He made 5 copies of our master key for us.

Tim came to fix my lock within 2 hours of me calling him. He came back the next week to install a dead bolt. He was very personable, friendly, and professional. I would not hesitate to use him again and to recommend him to friends and family. You can tell he loves what he's doing, too, which is really great.

Tim arrived right on time and was open, friendly and engaging. After confirming the work I wanted done and getting a tour of the various entrances, we chatted for a while until another workman showed up for a different job. At that point, Tim went straight to work. I had scheduled time with 2 garage building companies, two central air installers, and a general contractor throughout that afternoon. Tim quickly realized that it was going to be a very busy day for me and did his best to avoid adding to the chaos. He worked steadily and without supervision for 2.5 hours, stopping only to tell me he thought the ancient front door lock/latch mechanism needed to be disassembled and cleaned rather than replaced. Throughout the day he was cheerful, never in the way, and industrious. He keyed 7 locks on 5 doors, made each lock's action as smooth as silk, completely "tuned up" the front door mechanism, and gave me 10 identical keys. In a word: OUTSTANDING.
Description of Work: I called Tim on 3/28 and set a 1:30 pm appointment for 3/30 at a house I closed on that morning. I specified that I wanted a review the overall security of the house, an opinion on the quality of the locks in place, and a re-keying of every exterior door.

I called on a Saturday about having my lock repaired. Tim came that same afternoon (without an extra weekend charge) since the broken lock was a fire hazard -- something I hadn't even considered. He doesn't usually work weekend afternoons, but he came anyway. He called when he was ready to come over, and he arrived on time. He fixed the lock in no time and even fixed the door knob and adjusted the door itself. He also took extra time to advise me on securing the door to my garage. Very responsive and professional service.

I contacted Holt through email, and Leah wrote back within 15 minutes. She gave me Tim's number and, when I called him, he set up an appointment immediately. Tim was great. Although he arrived late on the scheduled day, he called to say he was running late. He didn't have all of the parts with him that day, but came back the following business day to fix everything. He talked us through our decisions about which deadbolts to use. He even helped us remove a mirror from the wall - something that was unrelated to the reason he was there, but he happened to have a suction and volunteered to help us out. The only reason he's not getting an A is because of the price.
Description of Work: Tim replaced the bolts and doorknobs on three entry doors. He also put in new cylinders in those doors.

Tim was prompt and quickly addressed the issue with the lock. He was well-educated on the best (most expensive and time consuming) way to fix the problem, while also offering me lower-cost solutions. I really appreciated that! Additionally, Tim readjusted a front hall closet door that would not latch simply because he said he just couldn't leave without making it work (this was not part of the initial call, and he did not charge for it). It was great that he went above and beyond, and he truly took pride in what he did.

It was a tough day at work, I had to terminate an employee and our cleaning service. I chose Holt Lock and Key because of the positive Angie's list reports. Tim was quick to respond and showed genuine concern for my situation. Tim showed up when promised and did a terrific job. He re-keyed the lock and issued 14 keys to match. In addition, he offered suggestions on security measures that could be implemented quickly and economically. Tim was very pleasant and professional. I will be calling him for work at my home and additional work at our business. Highly recommended!

Tim showed up very quickly and was extremely friendly and professional. All he needed to do was extract the broken key. He went out of his way to cut a new key and to fix the other broken locks. In addition, when he saw the North Dakota plates on the car, he gave a "fellow North Dakotan" discount. Overall an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend his services!
Description of Work: Key was broken off in lock of 1995 Toyota FourRunner. Tim Holt not only extracted the key, but cut a new key on the spot, and fixed other locks on the vehicle that hadn't worked in years.

I locked my keys in my car with the engine running on a Sunday afternoon. Holt was the second company I called, the first being unable to help quickly. The operator connected me with the locksmith. He quoted me $55, and said he'd arrive in about 20 minutes. 30 minutes later, he arrived and within two minutes I was in my car. He offered me a cash discount, and after a quick negotiation, I paid him $40 and was on my way.
