Spencer's never called me back. After not hearing back from Spencer's, I called them the following day, Saturday, 10 November 2012. After telling them of my experience the day before, the woman on the phone verified the details of my previous appointment and after apologizing, took my number (again) and told me that James would be calling me shortly. Again, I never received a phone call. After reading such glowing reviews, I'm appalled at the type of service I received. I will never use their services and will recommend others to find another locksmith.
Description of Work: Just bought a home and needed to have the locks replaced. Called for an estimate. Provided an initial estimate via a phone call with James. On the date of the home visit at 10 o'clock in the morning (9 November 2012) the representative Ryan, arrived and we completed the consultation. Before departing, he told me that he would return to the store to determine whether they had the Medeco locks were in stock. I was also told that James would be contacting me before the end of the day with the final estimate so we could schedule the installation of new locks.

We must apologize for the miscommunication with this client. After the survey we called back on the following Monday and spoke to [member name removed]. We did not have the parts in stock so we offer to rekey the house (at no charge) while the parts arrived. Once the part arrived we installed the medeco hardware and he was very happy with the service.

Excellent, he knew what I needed and came prepared.
Description of Work: I contacted them to change the locks on my front door and also to evaulate whether additional locks needed to be installed. He at first did not think he could change the back door lock to match the front door key but he went back later and found the appropriate door knob. He was thorough, friendly and knowlegeble. I picked this company based on your reviews and this company was recommended by the Washingtonian magazine. I would recommend this company to any interested friends. He could have easilly installed extra locks but he was honest in his recommendations. Thanks for the recommendation.

The technician showed up promptly on time and gave me a call about 15 minutes beforehand to let me know he was on his way over. He was very friendly, did the work quickly and took care in removing the doorknob as the walls and door had just been painted. The price was fair and it was a job well done.
Description of Work: Moved back into my condo after having rented it out for a number of years. Had the front door lock and deadbolt re-keyed.

We moved into a "new for us" house and wanted to have all the locks rekeyed. We had used Spencers 20 years ago, so called on them again. They scheduled for the next day and called me 30 minutes before my appointment time to say they could come early, if that worked for me. Who comes early?! It was great! The locksmith "did his thing" and made multiple copies of the new keys. We are very happy with the work they did.
Description of Work: All door locks were rekeyed and new keys made.

He also fixed 2 doors that I was having problems in opening (at no extra charge). I was very happy with the service, and would use Spencer's Safe & Lock again.

I needed to get my door locks rekeyed and looked to Angie's List for recommendations. I found Spencer's Safe and Lock. Seeing that they had been highly rated by others, I decided to call. They were able to fit me in the next day. The tech called before coming over (as they told me he would), and arrived well within the allotted window for the service call. He was professional and friendly. He also got the job done quickly. I would highly recommend this company to any of my friends/co-workers needing locksmith services.

I went to the store location and was assisted in finding the right lock solution for my needs. He provided me the information on different options and recommendations. I made my selections and the order was written up (to include an Angie's List 10% discount). A couple of items had to be ordered, but the installation was still able to be scheduled less than a week later. On the date of installation, Rich arrived on time. He was professional and friendly. He installed the items purchased, and even was able to adjust the front door so that it was a better fit and locked smoothly. I would not hesitate to use Spencer's again.
Description of Work: Replacement of 2 deadbolts, 1 key in knob lock, 2 passage knobs, and 8 keys.

Great service. Easy to make appointment at the time I wanted, the locksmith showed up during the scheduled window, during which we did a walkthrough of the property and he explained what he would do. He then re-keyed all of the locks and made new keys for me right in his van. I used a coupon from Angie's List and saved extra money.

Acidentally locked myself out of the house one morning before work. One quick call to Spencers and I was back in the house and off to work within about an hour of placing a 9AM call. The locksmith even tightened up a loose doorknob before leaving!

I have used them once before and they always have the best price. I didn’t have any problems afterwards, expect for the keys. One can’t always get matching keys but they gave me keys with their locks which is supposed to be the best.

I called twice, getting an answering service both times. I never got a return call. I still haven't gotten a call back and it is a week later. I obviously have already called someone else to do the work but returning phone calls is pretty important. It may be that the answering service didn't get the information to the company, but as a potential customer all I know is that I got ignored, the details just don't matter to me.
Description of Work: I needed a locksmith to rekey five locks in a home I recently purchased. I used Angies list to filter out a couple of options that were close to my home

I called on a Friday afternoon before the 4th of July holiday. They came the same day, within an hour. I thought they were just coming to give an estimate but he was able to fix in just a few minutes. Service was incredibly fast and courteous. Price was great. I was extremely pleased.
Description of Work: Our deadbolt was loose in its fitting, and the key would stick and was very hard to turn. Also the door wouldn't close easily as the latch also stuck. I thought I would need to replace both the latch and the deadbolt and it would be expensive. Instead, he replaced one small part in the latch, and repaired the deadbolt (by tightening it up then greasing the inside). Total cost, $113 after Angie's List coupon.
