Locksmiths

About us

We are a "Full Service" Lock & Safe Company, established in 1969 serving the greater Kansas City, metropolitan, and surrounding areas. We provide a wide variety of Locksmith products and services for all your security needs, commercial, residential, and automotive. Our goal is to provide you with quality service at an affordable price. So we ask ourselves, how we can best serve you. For you do it yourselfers we offer a walk in shop with a knowledgeable staff that can instruct you on how to remove and bring in your lock for service. Or we can schedule a time to come to you with our fast and friendly mobile service. So if anyone has a key that shouldn’t? We can change that; we can rekey your lock to use a different key. There are at least two good reasons to do so; the first is to regain your security, and second is to protect yourself and the other person. Because you will know that they didn’t get in with the old key. Can someone open your safe as fast as you can? Let us set a new combo for you. One that’s a little easier to remember, it’s probably cheaper than you think. Or if you get tired of dialing the safe open, maybe a digital lock upgrade is in order. Are you tired of going to the bank to get in your safe deposit box? Why not keep a personal safe at home? We offer a full line of commercial and residential safes to fit most needs. Lost the keys to your car? Or did they fall into the wrong hands? We can make a new key from scratch, or if lost or stolen we can rekey your car, so the missing keys won’t work anymore. And yes even the keys with a “chip” in them. Do you have to the jiggle your key? Or pull the key out a little to work? A new copy probably won’t help much, because a copy of a worn out key is just a new worn out key. So bring it in, along with the lock if possible, and let us know the trouble that you’re having. We can decode the cuts of the old key, and cut you a new one back to the manufactures specifications. And the new key should be as good as the original one that came with the lock. How do you hide a key to your home or office outside securely? We can show you how. Or better yet, why not let us install a push button lock for you? It’s attractive and secure, and can replace your existing doorknob or deadbolt. Who needs more keys anyway? So now if the power is out when you get home, and your garage door won’t open, you’ll be able to retrieve your spare key that is securely stored. Or push in a code of your choosing, and you’re in. And if you think someone might have seen the code you entered, you can change as often as you would like. So whether you are just curious about access control or you need to let someone go. Or wondering how you are going to move you’re safe from your old house to your new one. Or if the keys are locked in the car, house, office, of who knows where, give us a call. We can help.

I called the home office to have someone come out and look at the problem. They had the same locksmith call me back who again said the lock was broken prior to his arrival.
Description of Work: I called McGuire to have 4 locks keyed to the same key. One of the locks (which worked fine) no longer locks properly. The locksmith claims it was broken and said he is unable to fix it.

Response from McGuire Lock & Safe
Our technician went to the customer's home to re-key some custom deadbolts. One of the deadbolts was broken (wouldn't turn) and because it was custom-made, our technician did not have the necessary parts to repair it. He informed the customer of this, and she told him to re-key it anyway, which he did. The customer called our dispatcher a week later and asked to have someone come out and take a look at the lock. Our policy is to have the same technician return and take care of any issues with a customer that they originally handled. Our dispatcher did not know that the lock was already broken and that the technician and customer had discussed this issue. When the technician received the work order, he called the customer. The technician explained that he was the same person who came and handled the job the first time. The customer yelled that she was going to call another company, and hung up on him.

He was very careful and meticulous to be sure he didn't brake anything. When he got there he was not sure he could do it and complained a little bit saying I don't know if I can do this or are you sure you want to do this. I think he was nervous because it was a antique.
Description of Work: He replaced a lock on an empty gas pump.

The man replaced 2 door knobs so that all locks would be able to use the same key. But now the doors where he changed the knobs will not latch. I've called twice about this and still no one has called to schedule a time to come back.

They put in a dozen top of the line locks and half failed in 6 months. They replaced them at first but then got angry with me when I complained. They said they have a 90 day warranty but I paid cash and got no paperwork what so ever. I will get real Medico locks next time. They assured me Primus was as good as Medico but it is not even close. I should have gone to Home Depot. My front door lock just failed again. And they are upset with me!!!!

McGuire Lock & Safe sent the most professional and efficient service tech I've ever worked with before - John Wilson. He had a tough job to take care of for me. The builder of my home used the cheapest door knobs and locks possible for equipping our doors. They were also poorly installed, so the builder evidently had to re-work the doors several times. What a mess! John showed up on time, and had all the necessary parts and tools he needed to take care of my problem. He spent time meticulously working on each door to ensure they all worked properly. He also kept me up to date on each adjustment he had to make. I had questions (like how to find paint that would match the new bronze hardware). He was able to answer each question. Before he left, he left me his card in case I ever had any questions or further concerns. I'd hire and recommend McGuire Lock & Safe again for sure!
Description of Work: I called McGuire Lock & Safe based on the recommendations posted in Angie's List. I was not disappointed. They had a tough challenge to address all three of my doors in my new construction house. The builder - Summit Homes - used the absolute cheapest, and worst performing knobs and locks for our doors. They quickly failed. You could also tell that they had messed up with the first installed, then tried to re-do them (really made a mess...screws broken off inside the door, stripped parts, etc.). The "warranty" we got with the house wasn't honored, so I had to take steps to call a provider. They installed 3 Master Lock deadbolt locks, 2 Master entry knobs, made 7 key copies and adjusted/reworked the doors so that they'd open/close properly.

Locksmith arrived on time and immediately got to work. Re-keyed all six doors quickly and efficiently. He also recognized that the bolt lock on one of the doors was not lining up properly with the door frame and made corrections. Used the 10% coupon and was very pleased with the price. Will definitely use them in the future.
Description of Work: Re-keyed 6 doors (approx 10 locks).

Everything went very smoothly. Bob called ahead to let me know he was on his way, explained what he would do, and completed the job efficiently. He also helped me with a difficult deadbolt on a door that wasn't quite aligned, and recommended that I get assistance with the installation of the French doors on my patio (received the same recommendation from two other contractors that have visited my home for other services).

The other locksmith I called was not able to do the job for us due to personal issues and he left us in a time crunch. I called McGuire the day we closed on the house and they accommodated our very tight schedule. They came the next day, first thing in the morning. The tech called in advance, showed up ready to go, and got all the locks changed in under an hour. Great service, prompt, would use again anytime.

We just purchased a 23 year old home and wanted to have the locks changed and after looking at the hardware I decided to purchase all new hardware at Lowe's and have them installed. I called McGuire Safe and Lock as they are very close to the house and I saw their facility while driving by. They were nothing short of perfection. Their Locksmith (Tim) was on time, professional, pleasant, was very concerned about our home and our safety. He installed everything and keyed all the locks the same for our convenience. He meticulously cleaned up after himself. I was very pleased and I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Installed 4 sets of knobs and deadbolts to all of the exterior doors of our home.

When I got a call from the technician saying he was on his way, he told me I would be charged for a service fee ($80) simply for the estimate (unlike Smallwood) - this was not mentioned when I made the initial appointment despite specifying that I wanted an estimate. Next the the technician acted very unhappy and pissy about being asked to remove his shoes when entering my home. (I'm asian and this is partly a cultural issue.) Despite having my air conditioning clearly running, he left all the doors standing wide open when he went back to his truck. While he did the work relatively quickly with the cost being lower than the estimate, and was able to install a deadbolt which pretty much matched the finishes of the other locks, he left a mess. He did NOT clean up after himself and we had to vacuum and clean up the wood chips and other detritus. I frankly regretted dealing with him and his attitude. I wish I would have gone with Smallwood Lock & Key and will do so in the future.

We hired McGuire Lock & Safe to change the locks in our new house. We received great communication leading up to the appointment and they were able to accommodate us in a timely manner. The work was done well and the price was fair for the services performed. We felt some pressure to buy more keys than we needed in the end. That being said, we would probably use this company again.
