I had a previous tenant likely break into my storage unit and cut the lock. I urgently called Arlington Lock Inc to change my locks, which I should have done upon moving back anyway, and they came the next morning first thing. Not only did they change my locks, but they brought another pad lock of higher durability from their showroom based on my needs. The price was exceptionally fair and much cheaper than big box hardware stores. Service was excellent and the team was exceptionally responsive and professional. I'd use them again in a heart beat.

Service call was promptly taken and an appointment scheduled. Guys arrived on time but were unable to fix the door on the first visit. Not their fault. A new part from the lock manufacturer was needed to fix the faulty part. They were, however, able to rig the door so that it could still be used until new replacement part arrived. They ordered replacement part and installed a few days later. Great and friendly service. I would definitely use again.
Description of Work: Repaired front door brass lock fixture. Inside Brass door knob had become detached from fixture.

Very good - the gentleman that came out was nice, personable and professional. He did the job well and pretty quickly and when asked he expalined the individual charges. Locksmith's are never "cheap" but I didn't feel they ripped us off for the emergency Sunday service. I recommend them and would call them again if I needed a locksmith again!
Description of Work: We were moving into a home we bought and locked ourselves out! It was a Sunday and Arlington Lock can within 30 minutes of our call to drill out the lock to get us into the house. We also had them change two locks and rekey two others.

The lock on our front door failed on a Saturday morning. After calling four other places who wanted to charge $300 just to show up, we contacted these guys. They showed up when they promised, quickly assessed the issue, and replaced our lock. The technician was very personable and completed the work in less than 15 minutes. We will DEFINITELY be using Arlington Lock Inc in the future.

The service man arrived on time and politely introduced himself. He was animal friendly too! He asked me what seemed to be the problem. I told him and after an inspection of the lock, he told me the lock was fine and did not need to be replaced. The problem was that my key was a duplicate of a duplicate of a duplicate, etc. He said that he could make a new key from the manufacturer's code and I would be good to go. He cleaned the lock and made 5 keys.

When we called for an appointment, Charles, the locksmith himself, answered and explained what he'd need to do to change out locks in our new home. He came right on time with another technician and discovered that the materials he'd brought didn't quite match the hardware on our doors (my fault -- I poorly described the color) and said that he preferred to wait to change the locks until he had gotten the exact color match. We appreciated his willingness to reorder the parts and come back later. We especially appreciated that he did not charge us for this initial visit (he was with us for about 7 minutes). He returned a week later with the right color materials, performed the work at the price originally quoted, and was very pleasant to work with. Highly recommend.

This is a family-owned business and the personal commitment shows. The workman arrived promptly and was very meticulous in fine-tuning the lock fitting so that it would open and close very easily with the turn bolt - like butter. I have arthritis so this was important to me. He took all the time that was needed and it was completely on his initiative - he clearly was very committed to getting it just right, with no urging from me. I would highly recommend them. They probably aren't the cheapest place in town but you get what you pay for and I gave them an A for pricing because I thought they were very reasonably priced for the time they put into the job.

The locksmith arrived during the appointed time and checked out the back door. He told me the loose feeling to the door knob was typical of this particular make and there was nothing wrong with it. He then went to the truck and got a can of wd40 and oiled the deadbolt and doorknob. This fixed the sticking problem with the key. For this I was charged $40 labor and $89 service charge.I did get the 10% Angie's List discount so instead of the full $129 I ended up paying $116.10. He did oil the front door on his way out (I did not request this) which was either a nice courtesy or to justify the charges. You decide.
Description of Work: I contacted Arlington Lock to repair the deadbolt and door knob on my back door. The key was getting stuck in the deadbolt making it difficult to use. The doorknob was starting to have the same problem and in addition it appeared to be loose.

Response from Arlington Lock Inc
Since I was the one who actually spoke with you on the phone you were informed we have a minimum fee of $129.00. You also told me you thought your lock needed replacing. Being a professional locksmith and not a scammer I did what was necessary to fix the problem and not just replace your lock which would of been more money. I lubricated your front door locks as a professional courtesy so you would avoid having a similar problem. I did not need to justify the minimun fee you were informed of and charged.

Charles showed up in the time frame promised. I showed him the problem we were having: the key kept turning in the lock without engaging/opening. I was skipping right to the question of, "How much will it cost to replace." Charles wasn't quite there yet, he continued to work on the lock and realized that it was not in fact broken. The problem is that we were not pushing the key firmly enough into the lock. He explained that the tip of the key is just as important in opening the lock. I tried it a couple of times and it worked for me also. Charles refused to accept any form of payment for the job. I really appreciated that, since many others would have likely charged some minimum fee for the visit. I need to change the locks in my rental condo and he will be my first call. Also, I'm tired of getting keys cut at large retailers that don't work, so I'll be visiting him for that purpose as well. Nice old-fashioned business practices...Bravo, Arlington Locks!!
Description of Work: I call Arlington Lock in the morning to ask them to come look at a security gate lock on our basement door that would not open. I spoke to Charles who said he would come by between 2:30 - 4:30 that afternoon.
