I was treated in a professional manner from the first phone call. The service was performed quickly after I called. The person arrived on time and I was notified about 30 minutes prior to his arrival. The lock was replaced quickly and the Locksmith explained all of the details of how to use it to me before his departure. I am so happy to have found this company.
Description of Work: I needed a lock replaced on a door.

It was several years ago, but my wife was very happy with them. We have an older home with older locks. They did a good job. They were friendly, efficient, and it didn't cost as much as I thought it would be. It's an older locking mechanism, but it works perfectly. They were great and knowledgeable about what they do. It was a lot cheaper than we expected.
Description of Work: Bates Street Lock & Safe cleaned out some older locks and they work perfectly still.

The experience was outstanding. Everything was done professionally and perfectly. This was the best locksmith experience we've ever had. We would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Bates Street Lock Shop re-keyed all of our house and garage locks, plus found a very hard-to-find lock for an arcade style scale (Get Your Weight and Your Fate) we have in one of our bathrooms. They also cut new keys for one of our cars.

Description of Work: They performed a repair on a front door lock for a 100-year-old house. We had been told it couldn't be repaired, but the service person (a co-owner) was able to figure out what was wrong and provide an unusual part to complete the repair. It has been working perfectly ever since.

I chose them because they were a couple of blocks away from my home. They ended up charging quite a lot for the trip. I wasn't too happy about that and I didn't think it was right.
Description of Work: They changed the locks on a house we own in St. Louis.

Response from BATES STREET LOCK & SAFE
First, we NEVER collect in advance for services. Our records show a work order dated 1/23/14 AND an invoice dated 1/27/14 which indicates that the job was actually completed. Payment was in cash. I believe this individual is confusing us with someone else.

Description of Work: They put a new locking unit on a safe for us. Their prices were too high and he acted like he was doing me a favor by coming out. The work only took about a half hour to complete.

Excellent. Had burglary & had house key stolen. Bates came out about an hour after calling (ahead of scheduled appointment) and rekeyed everything. Also found damage to one lock from intruder trying & failing to get in. Repaired it with parts on truck at no additional charge. Would recommend highly.
Description of Work: Re-keyed 4 deadbolt locks
