Called the day before to schedule appointment and the person arrived a few minutes before scheduled time was very nice and professional. He had the safe open in a matter of minutes and a drilled hole in door to be able to look at the Tumbler. Highly recommend them!

I had the house rekeyed in the summer, and so they just made the keys and drove them out to me. It was an emergency to get the locks open and they provided me with two different keys. The property happens to be a rental and when the property banker returned it to me, they hired A-Max to rekey all the doors. They’re good. I guess they’re easy to use. I am interested in installing a safe in my house so it would be cool to get a good deal on safes. I don’t know what to compare their price to.
Description of Work: I used A-Max Security Solutions for locksmith services. I got locked out and I called them up. They just made the keys and drove them out to me.

I requested same-day service on a Saturday when the company working hours were 10:00 am - 2:00 pm, and they were fully booked, but Matt agreed to come between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm, which I greatly appreciated. I had lost my front door house key, and Matt re-keyed the lock and supplied the 4 keys I asked for. His work was efficient and professional and his manner was professional. If I need locksmith services in the future I will certainly hire this firm again.

Excellent service. Jay listened to what we wanted accomplished and the reason for it, then he made recommendations that were appropriate for our situation. We also had a lock on a screen door that was not longer functioning and he fixed that. He was efficient, knowledgeable and pleasant. We will contact A-Max again as our needs change.

Matt was the only locksmith I called who said he could rekey a Honda lock for me today (important because my son is leaving on Monday for 3 1/2 months, taking this car). He did it as I waited, explained some things to me about keys and locks that I didn't know, and I was out of there in about half an hour. I was really satisfied with the work he did, the time he took to do it, and the teaching that he did. I would definitely use this business again, even though I live in Oregon City and it is quite a drive for me to get over to Barbur Blvd. I am completely satisfied!!!
Description of Work: Rekey a Honda lock to fit our key (our lock was ruined from a burglary attempt; this was a lock from an auto wrecking yard).Make two new keys to fit the lock.

We moved into a house and were only given keys to the front door! There are three other outside doors plus the garage door. The front door was a schlage, but the other doors were another lock brand. The locksmith changed the front door so all the doors could be on the same key. He also installed a deadlock on the door to the garage. One of the interior doors had a locking doorknob (it was an exterior door before an extension was built), so he swapped that with the doorknob to the garage to have extra security. All existing locks were checked and cleaned. While the work was superb, what really knocked it out of the proverbial park was that one doorknob is broken and on its last legs. The locksmith took some time to work it into place carefully and have it working nearly perfectly. He left no expectation that it will never need replacing (and quot;it should be good for about another five yearsand quot;), but he saved us from having to replace it in the mean time, even though it's something he could've sold us a new one. So in another five years, I'll be calling A-Max.
Description of Work: Changed locks on front door. Installed new locks on door to garage. Rekeyed other existing locks to have all doors on the same key. Cleaned, repaired and/or replaced locks as needed.

We locked ourselves out of our house, and called a locksmith who was busy getting someone else into their home. He quoted a price and promised to call back in a short while. As my wife and I were very impatient to get into our house, we looked up another locksmith on her Blackberry and found A-Max. Bill answered and was very polite and understanding. He was with his family, but offered to get here as soon as possible, which would be about 30 minutes, and we asked him to come. Still, within a few minutes our impatience got the better of us and I remembered I had left an upper window slightly ajar that morning, and was able to hoist myself into the house. We felt badly to call Bill back and tell him we wouldn't need his services after all, and he was very understanding even though he most likely was already on his way. I would definitely call them again should we ever need a locksmith, especially since his quoted price was $20 less than the other locksmith had offered. Thanks again.

He was just finishing up with the other customers when I got there. He took a look at my lock and replaced the spindle in 5 minutes. Matt was very knowledgeable and professional.

Needed a new lock and door handle for our front door. Went to A-Max looking for some straightforward advice on what to pick and how to install it. The man there was extremely helpful went into great detail and never tried to upsell me to more expensive solutions. Our lock works great and installing it was easy.

They didn’t charge anything because there was a shortcoming in their work that they had done a few months ago. They quite proactively responded when I said that it wasn’t working right and they got right on it. They sent out a very capable locksmith and he got things going and fixed it better than it ever has been. Their initial guy wasn’t as professional as the second guy. There wouldn’t have been an issue if the second guy had done the work before. The young eager beaver that did the initial work didn’t have the experience and wisdom that is perhaps needed for my particular work. The second guy took care of things very professionally and capably. So there were no issues. I think there was waste of effort the first time in terms of the first guy not quite knowing what to do and how to go about it. So there was some inefficiency. I think that the price was a bit on the high side for the work that was accomplished incorrectly. However, it seemed fair for the fact that they did a followup and made things right. I would have been delighted to spend what I did with the end result. I would most definitely use their services in the future too.
Description of Work: I used the services of A-Max Security Solutions about a couple of weeks ago for a followup on some locksmith work that they had done in the beginning of November.

We've built our company on providing silver-platter service, and A-Max plugs in seamlessly. We absolutely depend on their responsiveness and integrity. I would recommend A-Max for any locksmith project you might have.
Description of Work: We've been using Bill and the guys at A-Max on all our lock and security related tasks, both for ourselves and our clients. We've called them two or three times a month for about 11 years, for everything from re-keying automotive locks to the physical door security on our building. We've always been completely satisfied with every aspect of their service. Their people are absolutely professional and knowledgeable, and are as comfortable doing the routine tasks as they are doing the unique problem jobs. Their prices are always very competitive as well; they came out to do a job at my home and were able to rekey 5 doors (including 11 locks) for $265.

It was getting harder to get the key into or out of the ignition switch. The keys worked fine on the doors. Honda dealer only replaced parts, not lock repair. I couldn't buy just the damaged part, but had to replace entire assembly, including new immobilizer electronics and then have the engine computer re-programed to accept the new key. Part was $240.00 plus an estimated 2.5 hours labor. It took 7 screws to remove the ignition switch. Ken estimated 1.5 hours labor @ $70.00/hr. It took 2 days to complete the repair (not ll on my repair). The part works fine, but Ken wasn't completely happy how one worn key worked and only charged 50% of 1.5 hours of labor. I know he put more than 1.5 hours into this repair and I offered to pay the full amount and would come back if the repaired failed. He still rang up a 25 discount. This repair through Honda would have exceeded $400.00 and I would have two different keys one for doors and another for ignition. Or I could pay more and Honda would replace the door locks too. With Ken's repair, my spare keys still work and my out of pocket expense was $75.00. Parts that didn't need repair, didn't get replaced. Its nice to work with businesses that come in under their estimates.
Description of Work: Repaired ignition switch for Honda Pilot which uses 4-sided keys. The keys have a microchip that communicates with the engine computer to prevent theft.
