It was late on a cold tuesday night, I was shivering in shorts and a t-shirt, locked out of my home. From a neighbor's, I cheched Angie's List to find a reliable locksmith with emergency hours (I had read Angie's recent articles on avoiding irresponsible locksmiths). When I called highly rated Arlington Locksmiths, the technician answered right away, and met me in front of my home in one half hour. The job turned complicated when he found that my dead-bolt lock had been installed upside down, and that made it impossible to pick it, as the pins went against gravity now. He had to drill out the lock and replace it; at my request, I had him replace another deadbolt and my doorknob locks, then keying all of them to the same key (previously three different keys -- more opportunities for future problems). He then made me the six keys I asked for, and took off the 10% Angie's coupon from the bill, which was sizable - originally $320.00 - because of the basic emergency fee of $150.00, added to the new locks, keys, and extended labor time. Throughout the technician was very polite and professional, and did an excellent job. I would recommend this company highly to anyone needing a locksmith in the Northern VA. area.
Description of Work: Came on an emergency night call to help me gain access to my home (I locked myself out), The Arlington Locksmith replaced two deadbolt and one doorknob locks, and made me six keys, each key opening all three locks,

To check the pricing and availability, I called and spoke with the person on call after hours for emergencies, and he asked me to call back during regular business hours. When I called back the next day I scheduled an appointment for later that week. The technician arrived on time. He was very friendly. He was able to oil and repair both locks, the front door (deadbolt and doorknob) and the back sliding glass door, rather than replacing them. I was charged the minimum service fee ($135). I asked for and was given the angie's list 10% discount, too. He left his card so now we have a good, affordable, responsive company in case we ever have an emergency.
Description of Work: The keyed deadbolt on the main entrance front door wouldn't lock, and the keyed doorknob was sticky. The lock on a sliding glass door was also broken.

The tech did a great job and completed the installation quickly. He had to drill through the metal door that went very well. However, when he drilled out the hole in the frame, he found it weaker than he thought. So he took the extra step of reinforcing the area with a metal plate. This improvement provided extra security for the house. The tech was friendy and professional.
Description of Work: I have the company install a deadbolt lock in a metal front door and provide several additional keys.

Chase was punctual and a pleasure to deal with. He was quick with his work. Usually when you get new keys, there's a problem with them sticking or just being difficult. Chase made sure all the keys worked properly.
Description of Work: We recently moved into a house that had been vacant for over a year. Our first order of business was to have the locks replaced on both our front and back doors as well as on a large storage shed.

I had two car keys that I needed to have programmed after I lost my original pair last week. I was very weary of who to turn to in the Arlington area to program the keys. I read about Arlington Lock, Inc., on Angie's List after doing some research and I'm so glad I decided to call them up to take care of my situation! I called at 10 a.m. this morning and they were able to come over at 3 p.m. The locksmith arrived 10 minutes early, which was great! He got to work right away and got the keys programmed and they worked just fine. The price was very reasonable for the work and the serviceman very courteous. I highly recommend Arlington Lock, Inc., to folks in Northern Va. that need an automotive locksmith.
Description of Work: Two transponder/computer-chip car keys programmed.

On a Sunday morning I realized we had no car keys. The key was of the type that carried a microchip to defeat theft, and is usually available only from dealer. Called Arlington Lock at noon and little over an hour later they arrived and reprogrammed the anti-theft and cut two new keys. Charge was $95 to come out, plus $40 each for the two keys (which did not have the microchip as far as I can tell) plus $50 to retrieve the keycode from GM, plus $65 to cut the keys. All in all, great service, if a bit pricey. They did take $25 off for the Angie's List coupon.

Thank you for your comments. Just so you know your keys do have a computer chip. We do not charge anything to cut the keys, The $65 was the fee to program the keys to your computer. GM or any code service charges us for the key code which we pass along. I hope this information helps to explain the charges. Thank you for the opportunity to provide service for you.

They were awesome! Arrived on time, and it didnt take long at all. They installed a peep hole as well as an extra lock on our door. We purchased our own hardware, so all they had to do was install it. They were GREAT. We will be using them again if we need a locksmith, and I will be referring them to everyone. Thanks for the great work!

Technician was determined to make sure the lock worked properly and put in a lot of effort to insure that it did. He also performed a minor adjustment on another lock in my house. My wife and I were delighted with his work and professionalism. We would not hesitate to call this company again for any lock problem in the future!

Excellent! Charles was fabulous. He was on time (actually early), very professional and courteous, and very quick. I couldn't believe he was finished so quickly. He also mentioned a minor issue with one of the locks and told me the cost to repair if I opted to, but said it was not necessary; which I appreciate. Will definitely use them again and recommend them highly to anyone who needs their services.

I covered most of my experience above. Not much else to add. Arlington Lock is a professional operation that provides competent service. I was not sure what type of lock I wanted and was looking at something that was more expensive than was needed. After discussing my requirement, the technician came up with the correct lock for my door. KP
Description of Work: I needed to replace a front door lock and knob. I went to Arlington Lock and explained the problem. I explained that I wanted to do this myself and would greatly appreciate a "walk through" of how I should go about it. The technician took his time to explain to me what I needed to know. I mentioned that I found them through Angie's List and they gave me a 10% discount. He made extra keys for me and off I went. One on site I needed to call for help. I must have called five times. Each time they were patient and helpful. I was able to install the devise. Before leaving the shop, I asked if they could come out and install the mechanism if I had problem. He said it would be no problem and he could get someone there soonest. To be sure, I will go back to Arlington Lock for all my lock and key needs. They were knowledgeable, polite, and most helpful. It does not get much better than that in todays world. I strongly recommend them for any lock any lock related requirements. KP

The two locksmiths were prompt, courteous, thorough, and professional. Two of the old doorknobs were hard to remove (original to 45-year-old house) and one doorjamb proved difficult. They worked carefully, explained any problems they encountered, and cleaned up everything. The price seemed fair for the amount of work involved and they gave us a discount for members of Angie's List.
Description of Work: The locksmiths from Arlington Lock installed deadbolts and replaced doorknobs on four exterior doors. They also rekeyed all of the deadbolts and doorknob locks to match our existing house key, and made six additional keys. We provided the new deadbolts and doorknobs.

I called Arlington Lock at 7 p.m. on a Thursday night. It was an emergency call. The person who answered the phone was professional and patient (which was exactly what I needed given the situation). He said he would be here within the hour, he arrived in 30 minutes. He changed all of our locks and told me about potential ways to increase the security of our home. He was completely professional, polite, and patient. I would definitely recommend Arlington Lock!!

Everything went very well. The service was helpful, friendly, and professional. I asked a lot of questions and got what seemed to be complete, honest answers. No one tried to convince me to do one thing over another and I ended by selecting what was not the most expensive option. I felt completely comfortable that both on the telephone and in person I was dealing with professionals who knew what they were doing and who were thoroughly comfortable in their trade. I would certainly use their services again.
