About us

Nyberg Lock and Watson Security is the largest Locksmith and Security company in the Puget sound area. 20-25 employees and 15 service and installation vechicles staffed by highly trained emplyoees providing peace of mind every day. Rob Watson started working in the Security industry in 1979. He worked as a locksmith for 6 years then as a large locksmith company general manager for 2 years before going to work for the largest security distribution wholesaler in the US. During his 10 years as a territory manager covering Washington, Idaho, NE Oregon, and Montana and working with hundreds of locksmiths, hardware stores, contract hardware companies, and industrial end users he gained a great understanding of the industry and the customers they served. By working with these companies he saw how small and large security companies ran their business and how the successful ones treated their customers. He saw the import need to provide security related products and services to the public both commercial and residential. Over those years he found that there was a lot of unmet need in providing security products and services. Rob has committed Watson Security Group to always keep our customers and employees “top of mind” in everything we do and provide the most reliable and dependable service possible – we keep our promises. Our goal is to be the leader in providing safety, security and peace of mind to all of our customers. Visit www.watsonsecurity.com for more information

First off I would like to point out at that Nyberg and Watson have recently joined together (pretty sure that Watson bought out Nyberg.) And would really like to point out that Nyberg locksmith is an excellent company. They have done a tremendous amount of work for us and are really great. They are that classic mom and pop kind of company that always goes above and beyond to get the job done, always meeting above satisfactory mark. They are always willing to help out and will even tell you how to do things to save money and prevent them from having to come out and cost you extra. Now Watson on the other hand were just horrible people to work with. The guy showed up and had no idea what the job was or what needed to happen. He didn't have the right parts, or any parts for that matter. He was rude, dismissive, condescending, arrogant, and very full of himself. He also seemed very irritated, and angry that he had to be there, almost like he really hates his job. He had a very terrible attitude. He spent 6 hours plus putting an electronic strike in and had to make several calls back to his office for instructions on how to put the lock in. He also left all of the trash that he had produced right by the door. He then came back to put the keypad in at a later date. Was very confused about the wiring. Had to help him out and also when he left he had told my boss that he had to run some wires to get it to work. Which was not the case. I checked myself, cause I had run all the necessary wires prior to his arrival, I even had some spare wires run. So overall terrible service. I would not recommend Watson security. And would also like to finish by emphasizing that Nyberg is a wonderful company.
Description of Work: We needed to get our front office door lock changed to a electronic lock with a key pad and remote switch to operate the lock.

Description of Work: They re-keyed two electronic deadbolt locks to match a different key. This task was particularly challenging as they needed to match a Schlage key to a Yale lock, but they were up to the task. They were impressively detail-oriented and persevered, modifying the lock internals to match the Schlage key perfectly. | |Despite their busy schedule, they were able to complete the re-key on the same day - though this was much later in the day than they had estimated. This was very well-done in a professional manner; I'll be availing myself of their services again.

Had a deadbolt that I could not get out of the door of our new home- and believe me we tried! They came, removed the old deadbolt and placed our new deadbolt that I had previously purchased. Fast, same day service, got a phone call letting me know they would be there 15 min. before they came. Very efficient and nice man did the work. Could not be happier!
Description of Work: change out deadbolt lock on front door

They were great. I removed the locks and took the to their location. They were able to make all of the required changesthat day. I picked them up and they were installed the same day. I have used Nyberg Locksmiths many times over the years. Thay are always helpful. It doesn't matter if it is a simple question or something more substantial.
Description of Work: My daughter moved into a new house and wanted the locks changed. We purchased new dead bolt locks and needed the existing casement locks keyed to match. There were a total of six locks. They quoted me a cost over the phone and said if I brought them in in the morning they would be ready the same day.

I go to this place all the time for keys, unlocking laptop locks, and have even bought two small company safes from them. They're always very nice and they work together like a team. I always feel good about going in there, like I know I'll be taken care of and they can get anything done I need them to do.
Description of Work: I work for a company downtown and they undid a laptop lock for me before... I brought in another laptop which we thought was locked down and missing a key. I came back the next day for it and they were laughing because all it was, was a lever that was hard to pull loose. They didn't charge me for it, and just gave me a card and said "spread the word". .

Everything is working pretty well now. The locksmith was great. We had to wait awhile because of the manufacturer, but overall we were pleased.
Description of Work: Our lock was not working well. It ended up that we needed to replace a part. They ordered a whole new lock.

I AM NOT SURE THE INFORMATION WAS PASSED FROM THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH ON THE PHONE TO THE SERVICE PERSON REGARDING THE TIME I WOULD BE AVAILABLE. OTHER THAN THAT, THE LOCK WAS CHANGED AND THE PERSON WAS GONE WITHIN AN HOUR. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I CANNOT FIND A KEY BLANKS ANYWHERE TO GET MORE KEYS MADE.
