We live in an older home in the Dundee/Memorial Park area. We had three different doors with different problems with the doorknob and/or locks. I called Shane based on Angie's list reviews. He was very quick responsive and was able to get us scheduled within a couple of business days. Shane was able to fix the problems very quickly. We asked if he could fit in checking .out a seal on a safe and adding a new door knob/lock on our back door. Even though he had another appointment that he had to be at within 45 minutes, he was able to take care of replacing the door knobs well patiently and quickly. Shane was prompt, courteous, professional, and his prices were very reasonable. We would definitely recommend Shane and Elmer's Lock and Safes. Very, very knowledgeable about locks and safes.

It went well. He gave me a quote over the phone and was over a couple of hours later. But he had to adjust his quote due to extra work on the door. No problem and understood why the increase. The key that was made for this lock did not fit so Shane went up and beyond to make it work. He tried several options and all went very well. I found it very reasonably priced and I definitely would recommend Elmer's Lock and Safe.

I had two electronic locks installed in place of existing locks. The provider was professional and arrived on time, but neither of the installed locks function as they should. The first lock was installed correctly but the re-key went wrong and I ended with a door that couldn't be opened with any key. I was advised by the locksmith who did the work to take the lock back to the store, get a new one, and install it myself. The second lock was installed and the key works on that one. Unfortunately, the auto-lock function of the electronic lock doesn't work because the latch was not set properly. Overall, they may be good with traditional locks but lack expertise and skills with electronic locks.

Response from Elmer's Lock & Safe
These electronic locks were purchased and provided by the homeowner. Unfortunately these locks happen to be made by Kwikset, which are not high quality electronic locks. The cylinder that would not "re-key" happened to be a "Smart Key" cylinder by Kwikset which again are prone to malfunction. I installed the locks per manufacturers instructions exactly.

I appreciate Shane's integrity in helping me with the best repair choice. The job was done quickly and efficiently. He was punctual, professional and courteous. The bill was very reasonable. If I need any future locksmith needs, he will be the locksmith to call and recommend to family and friends as well.
Description of Work: Repaired existing door deadbolt. I intended to replace with a new deadbolt. Shane recommended simply repairing the existing latch mechanism since the lock was of good quality and it was a simple and inexpensive fix. Also mounted door edge with a plate to insure bolt will continue to slide properly and made 3 key copies.

It went great, Elmer himself showed up right on time, I showed him what needed to be done and he went straight to work. When it came time to the garage door he put in and heavy duty handle with a stronger lock plate to help prevent a brake in to the garage. it treated my home as if it was his home he was working on. We went through all the doors to make sure they all worked and one door was not up to his expectations so he worked on it till it was right. I had duplicate keys made and he gave me some advise that no one else had given me. Hold on to one of the originals and always use that one to make duplicates if you need more, in other words don't make copies from copies.

visitI contacted Elmer's Lock& Safe due to Angie's reviews. Shane answered the phone, owner, and I made an appointment to come to my new house to re-key the locks. On the day of the appointment, Shane arrived on time. He reviewed exactly what I wanted done, told me how much each door would cost and proceeded to change all the locks. I would use this company again. It was a very pleasant experience. The whole took about an hour.

Best customer service ever received. Shane is an expert on locks and safes, provided additional information on other projects under consideration. He was quick, skilled, personable and even fun to talk to as he changed the locks. Shane purchased the business from his father in law, Elmer. And has become expert in the trade.

We purchased a new home that needed to have locks changed. After reading reviews on Angie's List for locksmiths, I chose Elmer's Lock & Safe. Shane came out and rekeyed 4 doors and made 5 keys for us. We are looking to possibly do a keyless entry on the front door and he gave us good advice on what to look for. I would recommend Elmer's in a heartbeat and would ask for Shane. Highly recommend them.
