I contacted three locsksmiths on Angies List, National Lock and Key responded 2 days earlier than the other two. They were very flexible with the appointment, called when they were on the way, showed up on time and worked very quickly. The pricing was crystal clear and the technicician (Andre) was very friendly, professional, and helpful! He made minor adjustments to the doors for free to ensure that they closed as smoothly as possible. Would highly recommend. One of the best Angies List experiences I have had! Thank you.

It went very well. National Lock and Key had a "deal" on Angie's List. They were highly rated on Angie'l List. Started off online to take advantage of the deal. E-mail exchanges went well. I switched to the phone to schedule the work. That worked well also. They showed up on time. I explained what I needed. They explained what they would do to achieve what I wanted. I understood the way he explained what he would be doing. I don't remember exactly when they left but I would guess it was about 1 hour to do the 3 doors. I definitely would use them again. Had the work done because my wife's van was broken it to and her purse was stolen. The purse contained the usual credit cards but also her driver's license (showing our address) and her house keys. Decided it was not worth the risk as to whether or not the thieves might come to the house with the keys when we weren't home. We live in Alexandria but the Montgomery County Police called and told us that in serving a search warrant they found some of my wife's credit cards. So at least the thieves have been caught, in jail and will be prosecuted.

Provider was very professional. He was punctual and explained the changing lock process since I just recently purchased my first home. He was also able to change my locks so that I went from 5 keys to 1 key. Very helpful. The cost was reasonable too. He took the time to make sure that the dead bolt lock caught correctly in my lock. I would recommend this company.
Description of Work: The provider changed my locks after I recently purchased my first home. He also changed the locks so that I didn't have 5 separate keys and just one key.

Provider called 20 minutes before arriving and after a quick examination gave me options and suggestions to increase security and quality of the locks. He ended up replacing two locks with my approval and providing me a key for a total of 4 locks. I was busy with another installation, but he worked well on his own. My only concern was the vehicle he arrived in did not appear to have decals. I don't have an issue with it, but it was something I noticed. Overall, happy with the service, quality, professionalism, and price.

Manuel called before he arrived to let me know he was on the way. He was extremely professional and friendly. He walked me through everything that he was going to do and discussed pricing with me before beginning. He was already aware that I had purchased an Angie's List coupon. Manuel worked hard the whole time he was in the house. He was able to complete everything I had asked him to do, plus an extra rekey for a screen door which I decided I wanted later. When there was a change in pricing, he left me know before moving ahead to make sure I was okay with the change. Manuel walked me through the electronic lock manual and showed me how to use the lock. Manuel answered any questions I had and provided expert advice about security. I highly recommend Manuel and National Lock and Key.
Description of Work: I needed 6 doors rekeyed, an electronic lock installed, and two entry locks installed.

Pretty smooth process - when I called, the person who answered was very friendly and helpful. When I told her I'd found the company through Angie's List, she referenced a deal that they had going on for Angie's List members - 4 locks rekeyed for $119. She set up the appointment in a timely fashion. A 2-hour window was given for service; the technician arrived with a half hour left in that window. He was very pleasant and quickly rekeyed all locks necessary, providing 2 keys for each (I think the service I purchased included 1 key for each lock, but since I only had 3 locks done, he provided 2 for each).

Very smooth! The technician was professional, responsive, and cleaned up after himself. He added on the fifth lock for a nominal fee (the deal I purchased was for 4 locks). I don't remember how much the extra lock was, but it was very reasonable (cost above is approximate). The keys and locks work smoothly. Great experience scheduling, too. Would not hesitate to use again!

I bought a big deal for $119 to rekey four locks. Called the company, a very friendly receptionist picked and explained the process and schedule the date and time I wanted. the locksmith called me 30mts prior to his arrival. after arrival he explained the charges and asked me if I wanted to proceed with the job. He did have a hard time in opening the doors, but was very patient and walked me through the process. 30 minutes later I had a working door with 4 keys. No complaints and will use this company in the future in a heartbeat. Thanks

Everything went extremely well. The appointment was made quickly. I was told that I'd receive a call from the locksmith when he/she was 20 minutes away. I did receive the call, the locksmith showed up within the promised window of time, he was gracious, worked quickly and everything turned out well. I would highly recommend the company and especially the locksmith, Manuel. Excellent customer service. Thank you!

Locksmith called and arrived early which was just fine with me. He explained all charges and how much I had saved by purchasing the deal on Angie's list. I was aware of approximate charges because I had talked to someone on the phone when I made the appointment. The charges were equal to estimate given me. The locksmith was efficient and also answered all my questions. Definitely would use again.

Arrived on time, professional and quick. I double checked all work before he left and found the front door lock was difficult to turn with the new key. He figured it out and got it functioning properly. Accepted my credit card but did not print out a receipt which he said would be coming via email. It never did.

I was impressed by National Lock and Key from the start -- I sent them an inquiry via the Angie's list message system and received a response within hours. The customer service contact was very helpful and was able to provide me with a ballpark estimate for my job. When I contacted them to schedule the job, again, they were very quick to respond and very clear about the cost of the service call, and other potential costs. The technician (Manuel) called about 30 minutes before he arrived (well within the 2-hour window I was quoted), and once he looked at the lock set and listened to my description of the problem, he was able to resolve it very quickly for me and without performing any unnecessary work. Specifically, I thought I'd have to have a second deadbolt installed, but Manuel was able to repair the existing one which saved me about $75. Plus, Manuel was extremely pleasant and professional. I would definitely recommend National Lock and Key.
