Called and explained the situation. Promptly returned my call and was available the next day even if I wasn't. Got him scheduled and he arrived on time. After examining the safe, walked me through the options on what would be required to get it open. Tried the first option of getting the original combination, but it had been changed. Decided that I wasn't going to try anything else. Extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about his craft. If I ever decide to pursue getting this safe open I will definitely call again.
Description of Work: Came out and examined a floor safe we found after replacing the carpet.

Mr. William Brewer of Brewer Lock and Safe performed a difficult safe removal from the basement of a large hospital building with the help of one associate and an assortment of professional equipment including a special trailer and a motorized pallet jack. This safe was located in a basement for the past forty years. In that time huge air ducts were installed above it that inhibited the move. Mr. Brewer planned the very difficult move, brought his equipment to the site when the move began, and accomplished the removal with no damage to the safe or to the building. Everything was against a successful conclusion to this move. It became possible due to the extraordinary efforts of Mr. Brewer and his crew. Mr. Brewer is a gentleman. He delivers exactly what he promises and more. His charges for this service are minimal considering the level of expertise involved, the equipment cost, and the level of difficulty. We needed this rare data safe for our business. Without Mr. Brewer's help, the safe would have been cut into pieces and sold for salvage. Bill Brewer is the only locksmith within hundreds of miles who could have effected the move of this valuable piece of equipment. This move had to be done in a small time frame. Mr. Brewer moved it on Christmas Eve. Thanks!
Description of Work: Mr. Brewer traveled forty miles to the location, performed a very difficult removal of a 4,000 lb. data safe, transported the safe back forty miles and installed the safe at my location. This was an extremely difficult job to plan and perform safely. William Brewer accomplished this quickly, safely, and very professional manner.

I was not in town and I had a complicated situation. Laurie and Jim were so kind in helping me with a solution to my problems, going over and above the call of duty, and giving me needed information. Jim even hand delivered the keys to the hotel I would be staying at, so I could have immediate access into the house when I got there. Thank you Laurie for helping me find the other providers I needed, and thank you Jim for making a stressful situation much better. Barb Hunter

Provider diagnosed problem with back door latch, delivered the part and installed it. To expedite the repair, I was asked to take a photo of the existing latch and send it to provider by instant message. I thought this was a creative use of technology to speed up the service. Provider was able to arrive within an hour after my phone call with the correct part. On-site work took about 15 minutes.
Description of Work: Replaced the broken latch in the door lock.

I take this opportunity in extending my sincere appreciation for the telephonic consultation rendered to me by Technician Mark. Based on the information I provided to him, he concluded that the service may not be required. Where he had every opportunity to perform and charge me for a services that was not actually needed, he shared with me reasons why it was not needed. I find this to be extremely commendable, and representative to outstanding integrity of the company/ business. In view of my professional and positive experience with the lady covering the work order desk and the Field Technician, I recommend this company to all requiring their service. I am sure in addition to their honesty you will receive professional quality service.

Description of Work: Re-keyed locks to the house to one key. Cost to make extra duplicates were higher if made on the truck so we went to the place of business for extra copies the next time we were in town. They also donated to my wife who is a preschool teacher a box of keys that she can use in her class room for teaching purposes.

Other locksmiths had been a little patronizing in the past when we had lock trouble, but Brewers was polite and helpful.
Description of Work: I don't really remember the price, since it was several months ago, but it was reasonable. We had installed a new door and couldn't get the lock to work with the other house doors despite Lowe's saying they had cut the new key correctly. Brewers said it was probably because the original key was old and worn enough that it was hard to match. He came out and re-keyed the 3 house doors (with 2 locks each--knob and dead bolt) and a shop door and cut the new keys and all worked perfectly. It was his suggestion to put the shop lock the same as the house and it has been a great convenience.
