Tim was fantastic! Very respectful and helpful, and very easy to work with. Our re-key job was done with excellence. He showed up early and finished very quickly. We will absolutely use Tim with All Star Lock & Key again in the future!

Tim was amazing! He explained to me that he thought he might be able to fix the tongue depressor without having to replace parts, which would be far less costly than replacing (if we could even find the same fixture) an expensive Baldwin fixture. He was up front about the fact that his estimate was if he was able to fix the lock and that he would give me a subsequent estimate if he was unable to repair. He wanted to try to fix it first. Tim was communicative, on time, professional, and skilled. He was able to repair the lock easily since the internal parts had been installed in reverse and the tongue depressor has worked perfectly ever since (the repair was in November 2019). He stuck with his original estimate--no surprises. Every other estimate I received was for a replacement, rather than an attempt to repair first. Tim ultimately saved me hundreds of dollars, not to mention the hassle of finding a replacement for an 8 year fixture and having to refinish my front door because the new fixture would likely not have been the same footprint. I highly recommend All Star Lock & Key for any locksmith needs.

Tim was responsive and cleaned up after himself. His work was of quality and he made sure to match the hardware to existing hardware. He was an A+ provider.

Tim was great. Although he had to reschedule, the following day he was totally open and was early to our appointment. After sending him some pics, he explained what the issue was and brought new door handles and showed me how the new design was causing the issue with not just me. He was able to get older models that should not have these issues going forward. It took him about 20 minutes to finish. He was polite, friendly and enjoyed my dogs annoying him. I'd def hire him again for any door issues I have. He was fantastic - this saved me time which makes it worth the cost. dtom

Tim was extremely responsive. Put in a request for quote and he responded within the first hour. We discussed the work over the phone and he provided a fair, competitive price based on our discussion. Work was booked for the next day. Arrived on time, Tim was quick, efficient and clean. He completed all the work as described and even corrected an issue with the way one of the door locks was originally installed. I highly recommend him for any/all locksmith work.

Tim is wonderful. When I called he was very helpful and took time to answer all my questions. He even anticipated questions I would have asked in follow up to the answers to my original questions and answered those questions. He fit me in later the same day that I called, even working around my schedule. Upon seeing the existing locks, he saw that he would not be able to rekey them all to 1 key. He then gave me a couple different options to get me to the least amount of keys and the most convenience possible. The solution I chose included putting a new core on my front door. His solution got me to 1 key for the 3 doors I use most frequently and another key for the door I use the least. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Though I hope to not need the services he offers for a long time, I will absolutely call Tim when I do.

Tim was the only person to respond to my request out of the three that I contacted on Angie's List for an estimate. He asked for pictures and the brand that was in the doors so that he could give me an accurate estimate. I was impressed by that. He was willing to give me multiple estimates based on what I needed done. He gave me several options with prices depending on what locks I wanted. He made it as easy as possible for me to determine what would be best and affordable in my situation. We set up a time that was convenient for me. Tim arrived on time and did an excellent job. He made sure that I was completely satisfied with the work and told me to contact him if I came across any issues later. We decided on getting upgraded locks and had all three locks replaced and a deadbolt installed on the door between the house and the garage. Both my wife and I are very pleased with Tim and All Star Lock & Key. We'd use them again.
Description of Work: I had three new door locks with deadbolts installed; one door originally didn't have a deadbolt.

They had re-keyed all the locks in my house and put digital locks on every door. The digital locks ran about $400 and there are 4 doors with digital locks that he did. This was about a year ago. Then he came back to fix the latches. It only took about 15 minutes. If we need to have the locks changed for any reason or repairs done I will use him again. His punctuality and his professionalism are the best qualities.
Description of Work: I had some problems with the door latches themselves, not with the locks that he installed, on 2 of the doors. He came back to repair the latches.

I had new doors installed and when the deadbolt locks were re-keyed, the new key did not work properly on one of the doors. I contacted All Star Lock & Key and received a prompt response and estimate. All Star Lock came to my home and rectified the problem. A true professional as All Star service was prompt, courteous and resolve the key issue in a matter of minutes. Will definitely keep them in my contact list.

Tim was excellent. He was punctual, performed the work well and quickly, and the price was reasonable. Our job was not easy as the lock was in an antique door with valuable etched glass. Tim was very careful not to damage it in any way. We would certainly use him again and refer him to our friends.

Tim responded quickly to my initial enquiry. He was able to accommodate the appointment time I requested so that I wouldn't have to take time off work. He arrived on time and was extremely courteous and professional. He replaced the lock set on my gate quickly & then spent time aligning my gate which has always hung slightly crooked, even though I didn't ask him to. The quality of the hardware he installed was much better than the builder grade that he replaced

I found Tim on Angie's List. It was very easy to schedule and work with Tim. He was pleasant, polite, professional, reliable, extremely efficient, and easy to work with. Obviously, he cares about his customers and tries to provide valuable services. And he did a great job for us. After a few busy trips, I finally got a chance to write the review.

Excellent service!!! Tim Vickers showed up on time, and got right to work. I had other work being performed at the time, so I didn't have the opportunity to watch over him. He was very neat, efficient, and quick. I really appreciated the way he explained how these new locks were giving me better protection. All in all, I'm very pleased with the new locks and the work he performed to install them.
Description of Work: Replaced door knobs and dead bolts on both front door and rear door, plus changed out locking door knob on garage. Made sure they all used the same key. And provided me with 10 keys for all of this.

Wow, was this service provider a find!!! I called Tim Vickers, owner of All Star Lock & Key, on Friday afternoon to schedule an appointment for the above service, and we agreed on Saturday, 11/14 at 10:30 am. Tim was at our home at 10:29 am to do the work. He is very efficient, very professional, very well priced (lots of 'very' accolades and well deserved) and just a delight. He estimated the time it would take to complete the job and finished it in exactly the amount of time promised. What a great service provider...I will not hesitate to recommend him and use his services in the future. Thanks so much for a job well done!
