Description of Work: Changed locks. Switched knobs on doors to more sensible configuration. Mr. Gallian is the consummate professional. I am convinced that there is nothing he cannot do, and his prices are reasonable. I have never asked a question that he did not know the answer to.

Description of Work: Replaced locking mechanism in door. He tracked the manufacture down, matched the lock via measurements, since there was no part number, communicated with regional dealer and got the correct part.

Thanks for the review! I love jobs like the job you had for me! The Hoppe multi point lock that you have is something I have not worked on much so I had the opportunity to learn quite a bit about it and the manufacturer. Thanks for the education.

Member Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad that I was able to help you. Even though I have not used your service as a Chiropractor I did hear one of your patients speaking highly of you in your waiting room. From that recommendation, if I ever need an adjustment I will call on you. Thanks, Steve Gallian

Showed up on time, very professional. Did the work well. It cost me more than I expected for the locks (which Steve got for me) but he was correct in that the quality of the locks and door handles was much, much better than what I had. He was able to cut me extra keys right there on the spot. I have decided to use him again for business.
Description of Work: I have a small house with two doors that had cheap locks. Steve installed higher end locks and deadbolts in the two doors, then installed a new lock on the outside shed and also cut the shed door to install a deadbolt (it had only a handle lock up until that point). I went ahead and got new doorknobs for the whole shebang as well.

Steve, the owner/technician, was very professional and called about an hour before our scheduled appointment to tell me he would be a little late. He arrived according to his estimated time and performed the re-key activity, 12 cylinders in all, in about an hour and a half. He gave me a discount for being an Angie's List subscriber and stated that he "loves Angie's List". Steve said that Angie's List is his best advertising, next to word of mouth! I would recommend him for all your locksmith needs and would this vendor again, if necessary!
Description of Work: I had five doors "re-keyed" because an outdoor key disappeared and I wanted to ensure that the locks were as safe as can be.

Steve was very helpful in replacing locks and re-keying locks in my elderly father's home and camper which is in another town than where I live. He was prompt and completed the work. Steve was able to accommodate my short time frame of availability, and his work exceeded my expectations.

Thank you for your report! I was glad to be of help to you. Sorry I did not have the type of lock you needed for 2 of the doors you had. I hope it was not too much of an inconvenience for you when I had to go back to my shop and pick them up. Sometimes I just have to guess at what I will need for jobs, I'm usualy pretty good at the guess work but that one got me. Oh well! Thanks Steve P.S. I look forward to the yard sale you are planning. Please let me know when it will be.

We needed to have new keys made and locks changed on a home we had just purchased. Overall the service was excellent. He arrived early, waited patiently with us until we could get into the house, gave us advice on types of locks, keys, etc. Performed all work promptly. We got a call early the next day to say that he had forgotten to give us an advertised 10% discount and that he would give us a credit on our credit card. We found this locksmith on Angie's List and we are so happy with his work. We will recommend him to anyone needing locksmith work in the Wilmington area. Thanks so much.

Steve Gallian was great - called to ask if he could replace all of the locks in our house. He said that might not be necessary, that he might be able to re-key them and save me some money - which he did! He happened to be available the afternoon I called and came right over. He was finished in less than an hour and everything works beautifully! If you need a locksmith, call Steve at Gallian Lock & Safe, PO Box 1936, Wilmington, NC 28402, 910-798-8780.
Description of Work: Re-keyed all of the locks in our home (4 bolt and 3 doorknob locks), improved the workability of the lock sets and fixed a damaged screw on the handset in the front door.

The short version is that Steve is a professional whose work is top-flight. He came out and gave an estimate, the details of which he talked us through as we walked to each lock. He educated us where possible. He did NOT try to sell us a lock for a sliding glass door, but instead, spoke of an alternate "best solution" for the least amount of expense. On a particularly difficult lock, Steve let us know upfront that he would not be able to tell whether it was repairable until he actually got it off the door. In short, he was smart, honest, and inspired trust immediately. His price was absolutely fair. So fair that I would have tipped him more but my husband ended up being the one to pay. Steve scheduled our estimate and work quickly, which was great. When he knew he would be about 20 minutes late on the service date, he phoned ahead. It's a pleasure to be able to write about Steve on Angies List because this is the place we come to hire most of our contractors. We will recommend Gallian to anyone who asks about a locksmith. Endnote: BTW, he fixed the difficult, tricky, rickety old lock that had to be removed first. It now works just fine!
Description of Work: Steve Gallian was recommended to us by a realtor whom we trust (Ed Wagenseller). Steve fixed difficult and old locks, and also re-keyed all six to use one key. He advised us knowlegably and his follow through was outstanding. (The original owner had installed high-end, complex locks on every door).
