He's got a "lock" on it!
Description of Work: We needed most of the locks in our house rekeyed. Moose, as he is affectionately known, is a real old time pro as a locksmith. He had all our locks changed to a new key in no time at all (an hour?) The man's a lock wizard!

Description of Work: Living in a hundred year old house has unique challenges. "Moose", our locksmith, was not only able to reassemble a lock that had fallen apart, but managed to get two additional ancient locks working correctly. He will be returning in the near future to tackle several more locks that need attention. Very knowledgeable, precise, professional, and dedicated to finding a lasting solution - not a quick fix.

Recently purchased a new house and found our front door lock was not operating correctly. Contacted the manufacturer and was told a new parts for the lock were needed ($350). Called Action Lock instead; representative came, assessed the situation, worked long and hard to find a way to modify the lock so that it works as it was intended.
Description of Work: Front door lock set was not operating properly; handle lock worked OK but deadbolt would work only from inside the house.

We were locked out of our home in a remote area of Yancey County. I called many locksmiths in the Asheville area; no one was willing to travel the distance to help us, and several told me I'd be better off just breaking a glass to get in. If I had been willing to do that I would not have been calling them in the first place. I found Action Locks on a new phone search. Moose was on another job about 60 miles from our house but said he'd be glad to come up and help us after he finished. He and Rhett arrived as promised, got us in our home so easily I was (almost) embarrassed, and then offered to rekey the door that had stymied us to match the key to the exterior storm door. He also cut several duplicate keys to all our locks, and all the duplicates worked great. It was a huge relief to be inside and know that I wouldn't be locked out again. His charge was extremely reasonable. I couldn't be more pleased with his abilities AND his willingness to help us.
Description of Work: Moose and Rhett got us into our home after we were locked out. They also rekeyed two locks and cut several duplicate keys.

Imagine this. A retired couple shuts two doors on a cold winter day and then realizes the house keys are inside. We wandered around the exterior and were relieved and dismayed that there was no way to get back in. Fortunately we had the car keys and drove to a warm location, got a phone book and called Shane. Action Lock had changed locks for us twice before and did exceptional work. Shane was out on a service call when we left the message at his office but he called within 30 minutes and said he could meet us at the lock out site within 20 minutes. He actually got there before we did! He opened both doors in less than 10 minutes. Shane is always soft spoken, courteous and professional. Our experiences with him have been so positive, we'll contact him without hesitation when there's a lock issue.
Description of Work: Service call for lock out. Shane unlocked two doors to allow us to get back in our house after we locked ourselves out.

The service was prompt, polite and professional. When, almost two years later, we had problems with a lock that got out of alignment in the front door, Shane Williams returned promptly and fixed the problem without any charge. He is very nice to work with and I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: When we purchased our house two years ago we had Action Lock Company change all the locks to four exterior doors. This was not just a change of keys to existing locks, but a complete change of all hardware including bolt locks for each door.

Shane showed up right on time and was great to deal with. He completed the job much more quickly than I had expected, and also gave me advice on my options when we replace the doors. I wish every contractor we dealt with was so competent and professional!

Pretty smoothly. Sean/Shawn was about 30-45 minutes late both times he came out (first time he didn't have enough brass deadbolts because I had originally told him I wanted silver, but changed my mind, second time he did the work), but did the work properly, and was very nice.

The service men that came were very clean, very fast and we really liked the way they cleaned up after they were done.
Description of Work: They replaced 10 dead bolts for us, having to drill into one door for one of them. This took about 4 hours to complete and all used material and old waste was thrown away by the men.
