I honestly don't know what I enjoyed the most. The keys that were expertly made, or the conversation I had with one of the most pleasant men I have ever met. I guess I needed the keys, but I will long remember the MAN known affectionately as Moose. Priceless!
Description of Work: My old Cadillac needed a new coded ignition key specifically for that year. I also needed a new key for an interior door in my house.

Mr Burleson not only repaired the latch, he left it working better than it ever has since I purchased my home. He is courteous, expert, timely and responded to my call quickly. I heartily recommend him, and will definitely use him again should the need arise.

We did as he suggested and the door opened right up. We felt a bit silly that we didn't think to try that. We were very impressed that Mr Burleson solved our problem over the phone and will certainly call him if we have any more serious lock "issues" in the future. And, we'll definitely recommend his services to our neighbors and friends! Thanks for the helpful suggestion and saving us a visit that wasn't needed, Mr Burleson! Definitely the first time I've written a review on Angie's List for NOT receiving a paid service, but certainly worth the mention for honest help when we needed it. :-)
Description of Work: Mr Burleson explained over the phone that the keyed entry lock on our front door that wasn't "working" might just need a squirt of WD-40 to get it to open with the key.

Moose promptly returned my calls. Because he was asked to do more work at the job prior to our appointment, he couldn't make our original appointment time. He called well in advance to let me know this and explain the situation. He showed up exactly on schedule the next day. He was friendly and professional. We discussed a few different ways to do the job. He was very clear in pointing out the pros and cons of each alternative. He finished quickly, and left no mess. All keys worked smoothly in every lock he re-keyed. This had been a problem with a prior a locksmith. When he told me the final cost, I had to ask if he remembered to include everything. I could not believe how reasonable the cost was. I rarely write reviews. This was one time that I made sure to write a review. I recommend him highly. Our dog liked him as well.
Description of Work: Re-keyed all door locks (10) in our home, and made six keys to fit all locks.

I can't and won't use a business that can't even respond adequately on the front end. Action Lock Company fits in this category.
Description of Work: I called Action Lock Company at the Weaverville number last Wednesday and got an answering machine that identified itself as the business. I left a message to call me back regarding a lock repair, repeating my phone number twice, clearly enunciating each number. I never received a reply.

Renovation work was done on our house, including replacing all exterior doors and hardware. After the reno, we wanted all the lock cylinders rekeyed for a new key. Mouse from Action Lock arranged an appointment time, came to our house on time, and worked efficiently to replace the cylinders. He was courteous, friendly, and professional. Would definitely use him again for any locksmith work.
Description of Work: rekeyed the cylinders in eight locks and made multiple copies of the key for those locks.
