Exclusively to our commerical clients we offer CCTV and access control.
I called on Saturday to set up an appointment to have them come to my house to rekey 3 deadbolts and 2 or 3 door sets. Bill answered and said that he could come out today at around 3:30. They called when -they were on their way and arrived when they said they would be there. When they saw that my shoes were off as I opened the door, they took their shoes off without begin asked. They gave me some options regarding how I could have the various locks re-keyed and were good about explaining what they were doing as they did it. They were polite, professional, and clean. Bill asked me if I was an Angie's List member and said I didn't need to print the 15% off coupon, he'd just deduct it from the bill. He applied the coupon by not charging me for the keys, so I guess they're worth $22.50. It's wonderful to have working locks and fewer keys so conveniently. Wish I'd done this sooner.
Description of Work: Re-keyed 3 deadbolts & 3 door sets (doorknobs), adjusted one door set that was sticking, made 12 new keys (I asked for 10), put all locks and door sets back together, cleaned up. Work took 1.5 hours for 2 people.

This is my first Angies List experience and I have to say it was perfect - from start to finish! Sherry was exceptionally helpful and speedy in helping me get a good quote via email BEFORE they came out to do the work (we have european doors and had a locksmith come out a month or so ago, quoting us $20 per lock & after he got here said they would be $60 per lock!! Security did it for $28 per lock!) Aaron came out to do the work and was professional, courteous, trustworthy and very helpful - even suggesting an additional lock/key for our housekeeper that could be easily changed if we had to get a new housekeeper. Something I would have never thought of! I highly recommend this company for any lock or safe work that you need done!
Description of Work: We have a newly constucted home and wanted the locks changed, as we didn't know who had keys to our home now that we have moved in. We had 8 locks changed to match our new front door lock.

Hi, we are very pleased that your first experience with Angie’s List and Security Safe & Lock was perfect from start to finish.

Also we know that European locks can be tricky to rekey, which is why we are more than happy to give a written quote in advance so that there are no surprises when the tech arrives. We appreciate your business and look forward to working for you again. Enjoy your new home and locks.

Had a non-functioning bolt in front door. Bolt had separated from its pulling mechanism. They gave great suggestions (free) about how to solve this problem. Offered to come out immediately if I couldn't solve it myself. Solved the issue, and bought the replacement bolt assembly from them. Even gave them some free ale for taking time with me knowing it might not lead to a sale. Kudos !!

The provider was prompt and thorough with the estimate and the installation. The office staff even rushed the order because they knew the parts supplier had a price increase pending. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and professional. The price was competitive with other bids I received. The job was fairly standard except the garage which required replacing very old hardware on a steel door. Even though it took extra time to do this work, there was no extra charge over the bid price. I was very pleased with this business and would recommend them.

From the scheduler, to the next day service, to the professional repairman who was 10 minutes early and went above and beyond our expectations.. The entire process was great. While he was there we asked for an additional repair to be done that he needed to order a part to complete, when the part arrived we were not charged another service fee to come out and complete the repair!

The serviceman that came today was very professional, early for arrival, called ahead of time, worked with our existing locks to save us some money, out of our house within 30 minutes! The estimate was withiin 5.00 of our final price.. They also squeezed us in for the appointment as our keys and drivers license had been stolen and we were afraid the criminals were going to come and rob our house. I would recommend these guys over and over again. Kim and Howard Hilliker

The builder had given the keys to hundred different sub contractors before I moved into my house. Shortly after I moved in, probably within the first year, I had a couple of people in my house working. I had a spare house key that was sitting on the counter and then I noticed that was gone. So I went and called these people to change the locks on my door. I don't think that anybody picked the key up and I knew I didn't move it but I could not find the key. You just never know when somebody is in your home. I'm usually very cautious and pretty watchful. I don't let people roam around my house or anything. The same thing happened with my neighbor. She had a housekeeper and she put the key in there one day but she wasn't home. She let her housekeeper to come into her home and the housekeeper said she put the key back in the milk box but my friend never found it. This company came out pretty quick that same afternoon and rekeyed the locks for me. It was really inexpensive and they charge per lock. I have a lot of sliding glass doors and the price was very reasonable. They are a very good company. I've used them in my prior home too. They were very reasonable.

We were given a quote for the work on the phone. Their technician arrived on time and disassembled all of the locks, and brought the cylinders out to his truck, where all the rekey work was done. Afterward he reassembled all the locks. He handled the job very professionally, and we were changed exactly what we were quoted. I'd definitely use them next time we need locksmith services.
Description of Work: Rekey of the whole house (about 12 locks) in 3 zones, with extra keys. Some locks had no keys available and had to be picked.

Everything went great. Aaron arrived on time, had a friendly attitude, finished the job quickly and cleaned up everything. He explained what he was doing as he worked. Changing the lock on the front door was a bit of a challenge and he needed to use a special jig, but the door and the lock both came out great. I will definitely call Security Safe & Lock in the future.

We had a broken lever-handle lock on a chain-link fence gate to a community pool. I scheduled a time in the afternoon when I would be home. The morning of the appointment, the locksmith called and asked how to get to the pool -- five hours before I had scheduled the appointment. Since I was at work, I had to reschedule the appointment. Several days later, I again scheduled a time in the afternoon to meet the locksmith. Once again, he called four hours before our appointment and announced he was ready to come to the pool. This time, however, I happened to be off work early and was able to meet him there. He took apart the handle, shook his head, and said the lock was broken (duh!), but the problem was that the gate slamming shut broke the latch, and that we needed to get the gate fixed with a hydraulic closing mechanism. He also recommended we replace the lock. A month later (and $700 poorer), we had the gate fixed. I called to order a new handle & lock, only to find that the model we have costs $400 to replace. As we had already outspent our budgeted amount fixing the gate, I balked and wondered if the handle and lock could be fixed. In order to assess whether it could be fixed (which the locksmith did not say either way earlier), I had to take the lock to the Bellevue store for them to look at it. It turns out we only needed a new latch, which cost us $56, and they had that part in stock. I took the old handle and new latch and installed the lock myself.
Description of Work: Asked for assistance fixing lock on pool gate. A locksmith came up to assess lock, and took it apart. He disassembled the lock, then informed us that the gate itself was to blame for the lock breaking. We then fixed the gate, and then took the lock into the shop to fix the lock.

Response from SECURITY SAFE & LOCK
I am so sorry to hear about the trouble you had with our service. We have been in business since 1966 and we truly strive to do what is best for our customers. I apologize if we fell short of that goal with our service for you. In regards to the technician calling you in the morning to get directions, I am honestly not quite sure what happened there. If I am reading your concern correctly, he called you for directions but since you didn’t answer you were forced to reschedule. I pulled the board for that day and show your call between 3-5pm and as a call before. If we did not hold your spot and you did call back before 3pm that was incorrect and should NOT have happened and if that is correct, I apologize We should have held your spot. In regards to the 2nd appointment, it is true that sometimes throughout the day we will have a cancellation or run our calls faster than expected. When this happens we will call other clients on our call sheets to see if we can arrive earlier. Many clients are available to meet (as you were) others are not. However if a client has a scheduled time and can’t meet earlier, we will arrive at the scheduled timeframe as originally set. Looking at your comments and the paperwork we have on file for the service call, I do see that no charges were involved for anything the technician did. I see the reported problem the dispatcher gave to the driver was the lock would not unlock from either side. This does not necessarily mean the lock is always broken. Many times we arrive on site to deal with “broken lock” problems (about 20%) only to find out the problem is with the key. However obviously in your case you had an actual lock issue. Based on your review and the technician’s notes, I see the latch was broken due to the slamming of the gate. As noted you had the gate repaired so the unit would no longer slam and therefore incur damage. You did call the office afterwards to set an appointment back up for the unit to finish being repaired. I happened to be the one who helped you during that call. I looked at the technicians notes and read the hardware he recommended and looked up a cost for you. I found one on the shelf which was 370.80 plus labor. (Note-This was for a unit we had on the shelf at an older price. If we were to order that unit today a new one is 445.00.) There are less expensive options available such as different grades of hardware and other brands than what you have currently but I do not remember that being a concern. When replacing a client’s hardware, we attempt whenever possible to reinstall the same brand and grade level that is on the door currently. If needed we would recommend an upgrade but we never recommend a downgrade. Only time will be able to determine if a complete lock replacement was a valid recommendations. I certainly hope you incur no further issues with your door hardware. When diagnosing the situation as a whole, we do our best to make sure that once we perform an installation, we will not be called back for additional problems which in the long run incur extra expense and frustration for our clients. If the unit had been slamming hard enough to break the latch, it is certainly a possibility that there are parts inside that had been damaged as well and although they are working now, will fail in the future. At that point you would be buying a new lock which would include a new latch anyway. This is a judgment call in which we try to error on the side of security and long term price cost effectiveness. I am pleased that our counter was able to help you out with the latch replacement and that your lock is working well now. I hope if you ever find yourself in need of security work again, that you would be willing to give us another chance to right things in your eyes. Since 1966 we have strived hard to do what is best for our clients security needs.

Overall the process was relatively quick and pleasant. I had anticipated having the whole door lock replaced and paying a big price plus making adjustments in providing family members with a proper key to use once they got home. The Technician assured me he could adjust a new lock to match our old keys, if necessary. Please see commentary above for details of the whole job.
Description of Work: My key had gotten stuck in the dead bolt of the front door lock. After I had juggled it out, I called the locksmith to come repair the lock. I thought it had something wrong with the tumblers. The Technician had arrived a little earlier than expected, but was willing to wait outside, if I preferred. While I watched, he checked the latch mechanism against the strike plate to determine that it was aligned correctly. He tried my keys in the lock and verified my complaint. He listened to the tumblers and determined that all I really needed was lubrication in the lock.. When he was done, I had him advise me as to how long I should expect this lock to work without a major malfunction, and what the best replacement lock and cost would be, The whole process took less than an hour. The Technician was very cordial and professional.

Great! Came out to measure and check and advise, then made notes. Aaron asked questions, discussed the alternatives, and got the measurements he needed. A technician returned at our agreed time and installed the locks correctly and promptly. We had to bother him to pick then replace the lock on our mailbox because of an unexpected problem and he performed the work with no trouble at all. While we expected to pay a lot for high-quality locks, we didn't think we'd need to spend so much for making copies of keys. Otherwise, we're completely satisfied.
