I called Dawson first thing in the morning and had an appointment set up for that afternoon. They sent me an email reminding me of the appointment along with a picture of the technician. My technician Mike called ahead of the appointment letting me know he was en route. He was on time and extremely helpful. When we moved into our home we replaced all the doors in our home so we had different keys for each one. Mike re-keyed every door in our home and one for the garage. He was especially helpful opening the locked garage door we didn't have a key for. He was polite and efficient. I would highly recommend this company for their professionalism, promptness, and value of services.
Description of Work: Dawson re-keyed 5 doors in my home and garage. They also helped unlock a door we didn't have a key to.

Son of owner, came out to re-key my locks. He was very professional and nice as he went about his job. This company did a GREAT JOB and would definitely recommend them. PLEASE NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS TO REPLACE THE FIRST REVIEW I DID FIR THIS COMPANY. I ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED THEIR NAME FOR ANOTHER COMPANY REGARDING A GARAGE DOOR. I DONT KNOW HOW TO DELETE THAT INCORRECT REVIEW. Sorry Dawson!

These guys are great. I give them the place they give me the time, and get it done. I provided them the key in advance and they were able to do it without me being there. I guess that is because I have used them before.

This company was a delight to work with. The person who took my initial call was very professional and explained their pricing up front when I made my appointment so there would be no surprises. The morning of my appointment I received an e-mail telling me that their technician (Matt) was on the way and they included a photo so I could confirm his identity. Matt was right on time and also very professional. We walked through the entire house to make sure I didn't forget to tell him about any doors, and he worked with me on two doors that had electronic keypads to ensure I understood how they worked so I could add/delete my own codes for use. He shared lots of tips and suggestions as he worked. The work was complete in about an hour (maybe a little longer) and the price was exactly as quoted. I would definitely use this company again in the future.

We were having an issue finding a provider to come out and change digital locks on our doors. This young man came out and had no problem with servicing this issue and also had good advice about how to keep them more secure. He invested some nice time here and did a fantastic job. The price also included 3 extra keys. They were quick to respond and set up the appointment. I would recommend them to anyone!

It went great. I called and spoke to someone in their shop. They said a technician would call be back to set a time. The technician called me within the hour. We settled on Tuesday between 3:30 and 5pm. At 3:15 Tuesday the technician called and said he could be at the house in 15 minutes. I met him at my house. I showed him all the doors and he took about an hour to remove the existing locks, replace them with new locks, and make 5 keys. The service was provided exactly as I had hoped and the technician was very professional.

I highly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: The doorknob on my elderly mother's home was completely stripped and impossible to remove. Mark (the owner) was very helpful and I appreciated his candid honesty and willingness to help me decide which route to take. After weighing the options I decided to make things easier and had them come out and remove the knob and install a new one. They even worked us into a very busy Friday schedule which I also greatly appreciated.

He was very nice, punctual and knowledgeable. They had to move the safe a total of three times including the original installation due to the area not being measured correctly for the safe. They had a great attitude about the extra work. They explained things very well to the way the safe works. I would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.

We bought a house that was a foreclosure, so we really needed to change the locks immediately. the Realtor recommended Dawson's. Fixed up appointment on move-in day, cost for deadbolts were given over the telephone. Within the agreed timeframe, 2 uniformed guys came in a Dawson's logo'ed van. Husband explained he wanted to replace the current twist deadbolt with a keyed deadbolt (stays locked even if someone sticks their hand through a nearby window). Total of $451.50 + tax was for Service charge ($40); 5 Kwikset Deadbolts ($284); 5 Retro fit new locks ($75); 6 rekey cylinders ($45); 5 keys ($7.50). It would have been a nice gesture to not have to pay a service charge as we were having so much done, but the work was done quickly, well and they cleaned up after themselves!

Dawson Safe and Lock was available when I really needed them. He arrived at my house within an hour after I called them. He had very reasonable rates. He didn't charge extra for this type of situation, so I was pleased. He was a nice person.

Oh [Member Name Removed]! We'd love to tell you that no one has ever locked themselves out of their house before, but that wouldn't exactly be the truth. Far from it! Suffice it to say, the Dawson Safe & Lock team responds to customers in the same manner they would appreciate being responded to in the same situation. We're so pleased we were able to save the day.
