Called Nick and explained our problem. He said it might be something I could do myself, so gave me instructions. After trying I was unable to fix the deadbolt. He said he'd be out within the hour. In addition, he was very patient with our dog. I had barricaded on the upper floors of our house so she wouldn't bother him nor try to run outside while he had the front door open. She barked the entire time, but Nick didn't seem phased.

Today, Todaro's helped me solve the problem myself. But someday I will need a locksmith and this is definitely who I am going to call!
Description of Work: I called because the lock on our storm door broke and we couldn't get the door open. It's Friday afternoon, so I was ready to pay premium for emergency service. But the gentleman who took my call didn't take advantage of that dynamic. Instead, he talked me through how I could solve the problem myself. And it worked!

I called at 8:30, and asked Nick if we could meet in the afternoon around 1 p.m. He called shortly before that, and was here at 1. He looked at the door, saw that the lock was not striking correctly, and used a grinder on what I guess you call the door jam. He checked to make sure everything was working and was on his way. He's prompt, thorough and professional. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: My front door lock started to malfunction yesterday. Finally, once we got into the house, we had to leave it unlocked.. (Fortunately, we have a gate in front of it.) Nick, whom I first met when I moved into the city in 2008 and he rekeyed the locks on our front doors, ground out two striker knobs and the slot where the deadbolt goes. Within minutes, I was back in business.

When I called and explained my situation to Todaro, he took the time to listen even though he no longer services my area and would not make an money. His over the phone suggestion was right on point and so easy to do (a bit of WD-40 goes a long way), and I am truly appreciative that he was the one I chose to call.
Description of Work: Todaro listened and provided his expertise.

I could not open my front door. Nick came out on a Sunday and within 15 minutes had it working again. He offered to come out again if we had any problems and a few weeks later I did have the problem reoccur. I called, he came out again( this time Memorial Day weekend) and tried something different - and now it works like a charm. This man is very knowledgeable and trustworthy - I would definitely recommend him.

Just gave this gentleman a call, and although he could not help us himself, he gave us some great advice. I appreciate his effort, at no benefit to himself. A credit to the Angie's community.

We bought a new house and needed to change the locks. Todaro's Lock Shop was one of the closest companies to our new place and had great reviews on Angie's List, so it was a natural choice. Mr. Todaro worked very quickly and efficiently and even ground out some of the poorly-installed original strike equipment on some of the doors to make them operate very smoothly. The entire process only took about an hour for five locks on three doors. I wasn't even able to get a key into the lock for the rooftop deck before he arrived; he could easily have sold me a new deadbolt, but fixed it instead (with advice to think about getting a new one in the future because it was a pretty cheaply-made Kwikset knockoff). Mr. Todaro was also very conversational and shared a lot of useful advice on locks in general. I'll certainly be calling on him again when we're ready to upgrade to nicer locks or if we have problems with the current ones!
Description of Work: Mr. Todaro re-keyed our new house (5 locks in total) and performed some repairs on the doors.

After another company cross-threaded the fine-thread screws in a custom-finished deadbolt, they were able to remove the stripped-out screws without damaging the lock at all, and to provide shims that would allow a proper installation in the door. They charged a very reasonable amount for saving us a tremendous amount of time and trouble - we'll definitely be using them again!

Overall, very well. The bottom lock is a little loose in its cylinder, but it's in an old door, so it may not be avoidable. I was very pleased with the service and would use him again.

Nick called Friday morning when he was on his way and arrived shortly after. Worked quickly. Was efficient, organized and informative. Repaired both locks and replaced a cylinder. Even tightened the hinges on the door. Also checked and oiled the lock on my front door and gave advice regarding keys. Was a good experience over all and, if needed, I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: Called on Thursday. 2 Locks on my back door were sticking and preventing me from opening the door. I asked if someone could come out on Friday morning.

My key was sticking in my lock so much that I was having trouble getting the key in and out. I called Todaro because I assumed I needed a locksmith to fix it. Todaro suggested that before I waste my money with a housecall, I should try WD40, and to call back if that didn't solve the problem. I did so, and it completely solved the problem, obviating the need to spend money on a locksmith. Thanks Todaro!

It went well. He was polite and informative. He responded to my first phone call in a very professional manner and he came to do the work when he said he would.
Description of Work: One lock had a loose cylinder. A doorknob lock had to be replaced. Another lock wasn't working well and it was cleaned out and fixed. A fourth lock was very old and was repaired so that it functions again.

After the closing on the purchase of my new home, I was only given two keys for three locks - apparantly the door knob wasn't supposed to be locked after the walk through, So I was unable to enter my first home. My parent's were with me at the closing and had asked for a recommendation for a locksmith to have the locks changed. We pulled out Todaro's number - and were able to have someone come in 20 min to let me into the house - and set up an appointment for the next day to have all of the locks changed to one key, and have a dead bolt installed -- The whole experience could not have been better, they were on time, called before the appoinment to confirm the time and took less than 30 min and made very little mess!
Description of Work: Emergency lock-opening, re-keyed all locks in new home & installed deadbolt.
