When your whole family is locked out of the house on a cold and rainy night, it's all about getting the problem solved fast. The repairman got here very quickly (within about an hour) and got to work. Once here it took about 40 minutes to get us into our house and then another 40 minutes or so to replace the front lock. I was disappointed that they only had a 1980's style shiny brass lock for our front door (the only reason for the "B" in quality), but we needed a lock for the night, so I had them install it anyways. I eventually went to the local hardware store and bought a lock that matched my door and replaced the replacement lock. I appreciated that they had and honored an Angie's list coupon. All-in-all it was a good experience and although I don't plan to get locked out again.
Description of Work: Our front door lock broke and the key wouldn't work. Also a breaker for the automatic garage doors flipped and therefore we were locked out. He let us in and replaced the front door lock.

I bought the voucher to re-key two locks. I called the company to setup the appointment. They had an opening for the timeslot I wanted but when I told them that this is for an eviction and so I wanted the service person to be there at exactly 9 am, they wanted to charge me $50 extra since they only give 2 hours windows. Any professional company would try to accommodate customers needs and not try to charge them extra money. I wanted an appointment at 9 am and not at some late night hour. I am surprised that these guys have a rating of A. Angie's list should check with them for their lack of flexibility in accommodating customers requests.
Description of Work: Nothing. I cancelled the voucher I bought.

Response from Eastern Safe & Lock Inc
Yes, that is correct we do charge extra for evictions. Our technicians start at 8:00am which means I start paying them at 8:00am, a 9:00 appointment means he already has 1 hour in the job. Having done hundreds of evictions (1) Most of the time the Sheriff is late (2) There are unforeseen circumstance that requires even more time on the job. (3) Rather than be accused of over charging because of delays we decided to add a fee. That is the only way we could make it fair for both parties. Coupons are valid for residential jobs only, rental properties are businesses.

It took some time via Angie's List e-mail to work out the product details, but once we did and scheduled an appointment, everything went very smoothly. Use an Angie's List deal which saved me $40.

Provided good service and stuck to the estimate they gave me. The work was performed quickly and the installer made sure to clean up well afterwards. The only issue I had was that the work was originally scheduled for Monday July 20th. I arranged to take off work and be at the house from 12pm - 5pm. At 1:30pm we called Eastern Lock to confirm the time and ensure they were coming. Ends up the locksmith scheduled called in sick and did not tell the dispatcher to reschedule the work and notify us. Good thing we called otherwise we would have waited all day for nothing. This was a little frustrating. Eastern offered a 10% discount for the inconvenience. Unfortunately I forgot to mention this discount to the locksmith that ultimately performed the work. Hopefully once I call them and explain they will refund 10%. The work was rescheduled for 7/24 - they arrived at 9am as promised. I am pleased with the service and would use them again.
Description of Work: Rekeyed five locks, installed two dead bolts and one pad lock.

My experience with them worked out fine. He saved me some money, because what I thought I needed, I really didn't need. They came out in a reasonable amount of time after I purchased the Big Deal. I was happy to get the keys made because I didn't have to leave my house to get it done. He was very informative, gave me some pointers, saved me some money and met my needs. He went through the whole house and gave me pointers, which I thought was very good and complete. I was a happy camper.
Description of Work: I bought a Big Deal for locksmith service. I paid more than the price of the Big Deal because I got keys made. They charged me the $35 of the Big Deal to come out and determine what my needs were, and then I paid in addition to that. I don't know if I overlooked the fine print, but when you read the Big Deals, you think you've already paid for the work in advance so you don't think you're going to have to pay additional funds for other services.

Locksmith was very punctual, friendly, and informative throughout his time working. The work was done very quickly, including lock picking and key grinding. Despite our having a rather old, atypical deadbolt on our basement door, the locksmith had a replacement core. I highly recommend this company, and would gladly go through them again for any related work.
Description of Work: Rekeyed four locks, including 3 for which we did not have keys.

I was under the impression that the deal I purchased would cover the cost of work. I was wrong. I paid $35.00 for $75.00 worth of service in addition to paying another $50+ to the locksmith the day of. I don't like being deceived about cost, especially when the lock was fixed and not completely replaced. I think the way the deal was written was deceiving (and the locksmith agreed) and therefore would not recommend using this locksmith.
Description of Work: I was having an issue with the top lock to the front door at my rental property. The provider took the lock completely off...did some tweaks and fixed the lock. I was pleased that I didn't have to replace the lock altogether.

Response from Eastern Safe & Lock Inc
Prices are quoted before we dispatch a service tech, prices are quoted again before we do any work (some times we do have to take apart the lock to see if it can be fix). Our special Angieslist deal is a 40% discount. We would love to do the work for free, but we can not stay in business without charging something. Note: on time, job completed, tech did his job perfectly.
