He answered my message within 20 minutes and we set up an appointment by phone. He was able to come that afternoon and was on-time. Wife met him and said he did a terrific job; also took very little time completing the work. We would absolutely recommend him and will use him again if needed.
Description of Work: Tim changed the lock (cores) on three exterior doors. Also drilled out a lock on an ancient steamer trunk (no charge).

Tim never showed at my house. The original appointment was set for a Friday mid afternoon. The time for that afternoon was miscommunicated. The next "scheduled appointment" he was to come out the next day and did not have the right color for my door. We both agreed on monday about 6 he would come out. Once again, he did not show nor did I receive a phone call to let me know he was not coming either. I picked this provider because of the high ratings on Angies List. I am shocked at the response and action I received. I hope everyone else that uses this provider has better luck than me!
Description of Work: He was suppose to come out and fix the switch plate on my back door and go over options for better, newer locks. He never showed up at my house after 3 attempts and scheduled appointments.

I spoke with the gentleman from All Star Lock and Key on Monday, August 25th and explained to him that I was moving on Saturday. He said he would be there about 1 because that would be the last job for him for the week. I had asked him to come around 3 because I was moving that day, but agreed to be there at 1 and hurried to do so. About 1:30, I called and left a message and never heard back from him. Luckily, one of his competitors was more responsive. I recommend not committing to appointments you don't intend to keep or at least calling the person you made an appointment with to cancel as a common courtesy.

Tim was wonderful. He answered the phone promptly, answered all of my questions, and was very patient while I was experiencing technical difficulty. I called him to have 3 door locks re-keyed in a home I just bought. He arrived within hours and was very friendly and courteous. We will be using him again when we switch out the hardware on the front door. I recommend him heartily.

Tim responded immediately to replace two locks one day before new tenants moved in. He discovered a broken mechanism in one of the locks and replaced it. The only issue was his response to provide extra keys which has not occurred after several attempts to contact him.

Called and spoke to Tim on Saturday afternoon. He said he was on a job but would call me back as soon as he finished up and had a chance to return the call. He said he would not be able to help until Sunday morning but would make arrangements when he called back. I waited about 3 hours and when he still hadn't called back, I tried calling him again. This time, I got his answering machine. I left my contact info and reminded him of our earlier conversation. The machine said he would get back to me ASAP. Needless to say, he never returned either call as promised. It is now Monday evening and he still hasn't returned the calls.

Response from All Star Lock & Key
Being that I am a one man show and do everything from answering the phone to running service calls there has been unfortunate times when I have had to shut down unexpectedly over the course of 16 years in business. The evening we spoke I received a call regarding a personal matter which required me to leave town immediately. I did not take my business cell phone with me on my trip and being that the customer was locked out of his house, common sense said he wasn't going to wait 4 days to be let in. As to the issue regarding my voicemail stating I would immediately return a call, that is a voicemail used on a daily basis and because of the urgency of my departure that evening, changing my voicemail wasn't a priority. I apolopgize for any inconvenience but things were beyond my control during this customers time of need.

I called Tim and he set up an appointment for the same day. He called me about 45 minutes before he was supposed to arrive and said that he would be late due to another job he was working on, and then gave me another time that day when he could be there. When he arrived, which was at the time we agreed on, he not only re-keyed the front and back doors, he also did the one's in the garage for us. He was very professional and quickly completed the job, providing us with 3 new keys for the locks. I will use him again when we move to have the new house re-keyed.
