Required PIN code from dealer but Johnny stayed with me to complete transaction and cut the key. I would have been extremely disappointed if we had to reschedule since my time is also important.

From first contact Johnny was extremely understanding and positive. He arrived right on time and changed all our locks from the inside out, so we did not have to replace the very expensive door handle sets. He was fast and friendly and very reasonably priced.

He responded to my call and was able to come within the hour straight from another job. He was a few minutes early and was actually waiting for me when I drove up. He was very personable, informative, and efficient. He was done in about thirty minutes. I was very satisfied with his service.

I didn't understand the "fine print" - he said each door had two locks for a total of 4 re keys so he charged extra but didn't alert me to this until after he did the job.

Johnny was great! I messaged him on yelp and got an immediate response. He showed up the same day and was really friendly and easy to work with through the process. He it only explained the difference between locks at our house, he dealt with two crazy people (just moved in) and two large curious dogs. I would recommend him to anyone. Good guy. 10/10 would hire again.
Description of Work: Johnny rekeyed 12 locks at our new house.

Johnny was prompt in responding to my request for service. By phone, we discussed my needs and he arrived fully prepared to install and key all the locks I required. He was very pleasant, efficient and helpful in advising me about more security measures I might wish to make in the future. It was a good feeling to know that the people I deal with are trustworthy. I would recommend Johnny to everyone in need of locks to be changed or installed.
Description of Work: Locks changed on all outside doors.

Johnny did a great job. He came within an hour of the time I called. He was up front with his cost estimate and professional in his work and accomplished all that I asked him to do. He answered all of my questions. He was also very courteous and friendly and honest. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Side exterior door to the garage would not open. The door knob would turn but the door would not open. I needed the door opened and the lock replaced. He opened the door within a minute and then changed out the door knob and dead bolt, using locks I had already purchased. I also had him change the lock in the front door so the key fit in with the jagged side up.

$100.00 when I was told that the pricing was, "$35 service fee and then charged by the minute"." When the technician arrived he said it would be about $60. It took him 5 minutes to saw off the lock. I dont know why he did not just open the lock as I asked. He showed me his smart phone which said $65 and I signed. I then got a reciept for $100 from Square. I called and was offered no solution three times from "management". TOTAL RIP OFF! DONT USE THESE GUYS. ROVING BANDITS. CAUTION!!!!
Description of Work: I called to have a padlock unlocked and was RIPPED OFF. They performed the work, but did a bait and switch on the pricing. $100.00 when I was told that the pricing was, "$35 service fee and then charged by the minute". When the technician arrived he said it would be about $60. It took him 5 minutes to saw off the lock. I don't know why he did not just open the lock as I asked. He showed me his smart phone which said $65 and I signed. I then got a reciept for $100 from Square. I called and was offered no solution three times from various "management".

Response from Johnny the Locksmith
Customer was told about price before he got the service done. customer was then explained that the lock will be cut off and he agree to that, at all time customer was able to say NO THANK YOU! it's easy to ask for a service, get it done and then make up story to get money back, customer got a call from manager and ask for a free job and full money back for the "mis-communication", customer then was offered 15% discount but demand to get 40% and a refund of 20% was refunded to customer upon approval by him (all by email to show if needed), customer was also offered to contact the credit merchant company to check if what he said is possible about the price play but choose not to do so, after the tech charge his card the charge amount can not be changed! the fact that the job was done in 5 min can only proof that tech know what he is doing and have the right tools to do the job right...! Bob we are sorry to see you feel that way and for that we offered the 20% discount and issue a refund back to you, hope you have a great day.
