Everything went very well, the dispatcher said they would come in the afternoon between 12-1 pm and that the locksmith would call before coming. When I explained my situation he agreed to try to send someone by earlier if possible. At 11:15 we got a call that Cody was at the house and he did indeed show up early as we requested. He accomplished the work quickly and efficiently and even took a few minutes to explain about one of the locks that was a special type that could be reset to work with another key and not require re-keying. Even though this would save us from having to call him, he offered this information which I thought was very magnanimous and greatly appreciated. Cody was very courteous and did not mind that all the children wanted to watch him as he worked. Overall, a great experience and we will call them the next time we need a locksmith. They also offer Saturday hours, which many of their competitors do not. The cost for both jobs was $150 which is in line with what we have paid other locksmiths. He accepted credit card payment only (no checks).

Called them at 9AM on a Saturday. They were at my home by 9:30. David was very knowledgeable, capable and friendly. He quickly fixed the front door lock that had the broken key in it and then adjusted the striker so the lock worked effortlessly. I showed him our back door which was very hard to close, I thought I would have to get a carpenter to shave off some of it so it would close correctly. He looked at it and said he could fix it too. He had to do some work on the door jamb and then readjust the striker plate, but after working about 1/2 hour on it, it worked better than it ever had. I am very pleased with the work done and will definitely call them in the future if I need any type of door repair.
Description of Work: Repaired a door lock that a key had broken off in. Also repaired a door that would not close well or lock completely.

It took a couple of days for him to come out due to car trouble, but he did a wonderful job. The gentleman was very professional and friendly, and he made excellent suggestions for improving the strength and reliability of the locks which we appreciated since there have been a string of break-ins in the neighborhood. Thanks to him, we feel much safer.
Description of Work: We hired him to readjust the plates that hold our front door's lock and to replace the door's bolts.

Great Experience and will definitley tell others and use him again if needed!
Description of Work: I had lost a key to my car which has a chip in it and the key must be programmed to match the computer in my vehicle. Steve had the key in stock so he cut the key and then reprogrammed my valet key and the new key to match so that I would still have two keys to my vehicle. He did the job quickly, with a great attitude, and for exactly what he had quoted me over the phone.

Called for a replacement lock, they were able to come out that same afternoon, he showed up 31/2 hours late, didn't call to say he would be late, so I patiently waited, when he finally arrived he apologized and got to work immediately. Even though I was upset that he was that late and didn't call, he was very professional, courteous and replace the lock very quickly. I would use them again. thanks

Response from ABSOLUTE LOCK & SAFE
Hello and thank you for your business, we did want to point out that we did call early in the day and say that if we could not get there and finish by 2 or 3, that we would go do another job first. we should have called to let you know that we did go do another job first because i think you had something to do by 2 or 3, and we would not have been able to get there and finish the job by that time. That job took a little longer than we anticipated and we should have called to confirm this. we will make sure that if this happens again in the future we will correct this and call the customer to let them know that their will be a delay. Again we do appreciate all our customer and we will continue to try and improve our service and communication continuously.

After calling the dealership, and 2 other locksmiths ( 1 of whom sounded perturbed that I was calling since it was about 7:30 in the evening, and the other quoted prices that exceeded even the dealership), we called Absolute Lock and Safe. Steven answered, and was friendly and professional from the get-go even though it was already late in the day. I explained the situation, he gave us some options, including pointing out to me that we should have the new keys on a different frequency so that the old key wouldnt work anymore for security reasons just in case (something none of the 3 previous guys I talked to even mentioned when they were quoting their services to me!). He quoted us a very reasonable price for 2 keys and the service, and said he would have his tech call me shortly. His tech, also named Steven, called me within 15 minutes. He was also very professional and friendly from the start - after I explained the situation he told me he was finishing up another job but would call me when he was done in about an hour to see if we still wanted him to come out same day. He called me back within an hour's time as promised, and said he would be happy to come out and take care of us this evening. I told him that we had since towed the truck back to the house from the school so that it would not be sitting in the parking lot waiting to be stolen, and that since it was so late we could just get it done the next day. But he said it was no problem, it was on his way anyway and he wanted to ensure we were taken care of. So, he arrived in under 30 minutes, gave us his cards and introduced himself, and got to work on the new ignition keys. He had 2 new truck keys made with a new frequency for the ignition in about 20 minutes. My teenage son was sitting out there with him while he worked, and came in after and told us Steven was a really nice guy to talk to as well :) We were extremenly impressed with Absolute for their friendliness, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile for a customer's piece of mind, even so late at night. To add to the great experience, their price was exactly what was quoted, and was VERY reasonable for what they delivered, compared to the other 3 folks we talked to before them. After a very stressful few hours worrying about what we were going to do, Absolute simply saved the day for us so that we could end our evening on a very positive and assured note. The tech Steven who came out should be commended for a job well done - he was simply a superb professional with excellent customer service skills! Absolute will be the only locksmith we ever call again if we ever need one! Thanks Absolute Lock and Safe - you guys are AWESOME! :)
Description of Work: My son's truck keys were stolen at school - his ignition key was a PAT key and the only one we had, so we needed to have new keys made to be able to drive the truck. We were not only concerned about not having any keys to be able to drive the vehicle, but also that someone out there had the key that could steal my son's truck. Very worrisome situation.

He was very late, arriving about an hour after the scheduled time. He did apologized for being late, and did exactly what he said he would, but the cost was twice what he quoted me on. He said that the extra cost was due to some extra parts he had to supply that he had not mentioned before.

We do our best to try and make our appointments on time, sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances we are late. We try to call the customer and let them knOw we are running late. Also we can not foresee broken parts until we take the lock apart, but as soon as we see the situation has changed, we always speak to the customer before we rePlace the lock to get approval for the additional work and parts that are needed. We only proceed when the customer gives us approval. Where ever we can we try not to charge for extra labor, but we do have to charge for new hardware that is needed. We do try our best to leave the customer satisfied and we always warranty all of our work!

The locksmith Jesse came promptly within 2 hours of my call and made me two keys that were better than the original in that the narrow part of the org key where it broke was wider plus the new keys were better made although the org obviously was well worn. Since the battery was worn down from the car being unused for so long, he even offered to jump start it.
