Horrible. Do not recommend. They installed a lock in January and now August I have to pay someone else to fix their work. To top of off, they are extremely mean and rude.

It went very well. The service person was professional and knowledgable. She installed the deadbolt quickly and cleaned up after herself. The new deadbolt is a great match for my existing door hardware and works very well.

Hello and thank you very much for the opportunity to leave an "A" review about the wonderful experience our family had using Anchor Security & Locksmith, starting with the prompt response from Mr. Jason, and the on-time servicing, professional demeanor, and work done by Ms. Marie in the installation of a deadbolt lock for our home's back door. Our family is extremely pleased and would definitely consider them first and hire them again for any future lock concerns when needed!

They are very responsive, very conscientious while they are in the house, about dirty shoes and stuff like that. His pricing is very good and he looks for way to save his customers money. Thats always helpful. (How many people come and complete that for you) Just the one. It took less than 30 minutes and he had to work on two locks. (How well did they leave the work space) You wouldn't know they where here
Description of Work: I've only used them for appointments, thats what they advertise. Thats the case. They adjusted an interior door that was not latching correctly. The foundations tend to shift a little bit. (Cost) I don't know, but I do know there charges were very reasonable.

Outstanding. Terry Kern who came out here quickly figured out what was wrong. He also was knowledgeable enough to immediately say the parts for these locks should be covered by manufacturer ....locks were 18 years old. He contacted the manufacturer and procured the parts at no charge. For the front door the manufacturer sent a part that would have resulted in an ugly finnish. So Terry created a solution from other parts and solved the issue Great service. Outstanding on going communication. Definitely will use again and STRONGLY RECOMMEND

The repair was done quickly and the repair technician showed up when promised. I was a little disappointed there were added charges for the replacement of the lock. I had purchased a service call on Angie's list and thought that would cover some services once they arrived but I assume I only received the Angie's list discount for the service call (.e.g. trip to my house),

Mr. {Member's name removed}, thank you for providing Anchor Security and Locksmith your feedback as we strive for performance perfection in all service areas. I am concerned to see we did not receive all A's in your review. I am sorry there was some confusion concerning the Angie's List coupon. The Service Call coupon list is for just that, a discount on our normal Service Call. As we have never had this issue before, I will discuss this with our account manager at Angie's List to clarify the services provided with this coupon. Again my apologies for the confusion..

We had purchased the 4 locks rekeyed for $125. The company responded quickly, especially since it was a holiday weekend! Terry came out bright and early on Monday. I had emailed that I wanted to have the doorknob locks rekeyed also. He checked everything out and told me what the additional cost would be. New keys were made. He was quick, efficient, professional and nice. I'd use this company again in a heart beat!
