It is convenient (stored in bedroom) and |holds important papers(passports & paper documents).It provides reasonable |water/fire protection as well as theft. There were no services at the dealership. It was a question we had to answer as to size and weight.

We were very satisfied.
Description of Work: The technician (can't remember his name) came to our home and was on time. We needed to have our locks re-keyed since we were just moving in and many people had access to keys when our home was on the market. He worked quickly and informed us upfront of the costs. He worked efficiently and was very helpful. He even helped us to fix one of our door latches for free. We would recommend them to anyone.

Just fine. It cost what they said it would. He showed up at the agreed upon time. He cleaned up the dust afterward. He showed me how to make some minor adjustments on my own. He did some adjustments to make the doors close better and lock easier. He showed me a place where 2 doors were hitting their frames and advised me what to do about it. He did not charge for the extra keys.
Description of Work: He re-keyed 7 locks in 4 doors. I requested and got 5 keys.

I called A-1 on a Sunday and the man I spoke with asked if I needed help today. I explained that I could wait until Monday. On Monday, the locksmith arrived promptly and quickly unjammed the key from my lock. He also made a couple of new keys for the door. In the process of fixing the lock, he noticed that our door was not closing smoothly and took it upon himself to realign the door, which was opened and closed much better since his visit. The locksmith did a great job explaining what was wrong with our lock and how to prevent the same thing from happening again. If anything ever goes wrong with a lock in the house again, I will definitely hire A-1 Locksmith.
Description of Work: A-1 fixed a lock that had a key stuck in it. Because the key was stuck with the door locked, there was no way to get out of the back door of our house.

Locksmith showed up at appointed time (9am) and was quick to get to work. When he realized that he picked up one set of wrong lock he was able to call shop and get lock while he worked. He did a good job of lining up one misplaced deadbolt that previously would not latch at all. Did a good job of explaining differences in our options and cleaned up after himself.
Description of Work: Replaced deadbolt, doorknob, and other hardware on two doors.

I am thrilled that he came within 30 minutes of my call. He was very polite, got the job done quickly, and didn't leave a mess. He shook my hand and looked me in the eye coming and going. He even asked me if the cats could go out, (no!) and if I wanted any of the doors left unlocked. The price was reasonable, $10 per cylinder plus a $45. Service charge.
Description of Work: Re-keyed all the deadbolts.
