They were very good. My son was so happy with their services. Installed two new locks. 

Business response:

Really good when the customer understands a job done right from the start You can get that from a big box store period. When quality matters we have hardware they can't match

Very well. Costs were explained over the phone when I first called and the locksmith that came was very professional. We bought a new house and needed to change all the locks, several which included double cylinders. The locksmith keyed all cylinders to the same key and went through checking each one with us to make sure that every key worked in every door. We were very pleased with the promptness of the service. 

Business response:

We were able to help these new home buyers and keep the better hardware they had by changing the cylinders

Went very well. I called him due to the good reviews he got here on angieslist.com and Jerry himself answered the phone. We made arrangements on the spot (one-call-close... I didn't even call around for price comparison). The day of service came without a call for confirmation (on either end), and when he was slightly late, I worried and called his office. They told me he got caught up at some sort of emergency and that he was already enroute to me. In deed, he arrived just a short time later, maybe 30 minutes late. Thankful... read more

Business response:

Really easy going and no hassle to work for. We are sometimes in a traffic jam or rushed in one way or another,but doing the job correct is the most important.Securing the entry's to one's home is our mission and not taking lightly.

Gerry explained all of the work clearly, gave me options, and installed the locks well. He fixed a couple issues with my door hinges/frame without charge. He's a proud family man who knows locks well. I will definitely use him again for any lock/door work in the future. They replaced three locks, reset my door hinges, and fix a couple issues with my door. 

Business response:

The customer had dated locks and seprate key system We talked about a upgrade and keying locks on a common key The front door was closing poorly so we installed a new hinge and set the door to close correctly.We were happy to assist in The proud home owners Good Luck!

We called Install a Lock for a new property. We needed to "rekey" several doors. Jerry took the appointment and it was prompt But the weather took a nasty turn & we needed to re schedule. Tommy took the new appointment and arrived on schedule. Professional, courteous & knowledgable I could not ask for a better result. The Price was as Reasonable for the work I requested. I suspected a few locks would require full replacement and was relieved to only have one out of the 1/2dozen. Hire w/ confidence! 

Business response:

We were able to rekeying most of the locks as they were in good shape The customer requested all locks keyed alike and with the correct new hardware On the truck we accoplished,that thanks for the paticence as well Good luck in the new home. Install "A" Lock

The experience was great from start to finish. I called and spoke to Jerry and he was helpful and knowledgable. He even showed patience with me as I had had him work up an entire estimate only for me to call back 5 min later and change my mind on what I wanted. Jerry showed up on time and the work was quick and professional. He really took time to improve the locks as he worked. He also gave me plenty of options about how to secure my basement door. Jerry also righted a number f door handles through out the house, which I re... read more

Business response:

Really nice person and happy to see a young family investing in security We always like to discuss options before we start thank you Jerry

He’s an excellent locksmith. I’ve used him for over five years. He’s great on price and great on service. He does door-to-door service and he’s very reliable. I used Jerry Schmidt at Install A Lock. He’s a licensed locksmith.He changed a lock and made some keys.

The company had an emergency, so I was called, and they did come a few hours late. However, Jerry was very professional, and walked me through everything he was going to do, and all of my options at different price points. He gave me a quick estimate of nicer locks and when I told him that was too much, he gave me a less expensive option, but still a good quality lock. He made sure all the locks fit nicely in the doors and drilled and scraped out the holes to make sure they closed smoothly. He was very pleasant, and didn't g... read more

Business response:

So good to see a young couple do the research into home security We did have a emergency lockout and did call ahead to confirm Very busy day and sorry for showing up later than expected We pride ourselves on being on time we understand your time is precious Thanks for the kind words and good luck to both of you!

I spoke with Jimmy at the store first set up an appointment for 7/5 with Jerry to install my locks. I was very please from the very beginning since I moved out to Bethpage in my very first home I wanted to feel secure. At no time did I feel pressure to buy an expensive lock but I wanted to even though Jerry suggested a more affordable lock (who does that these days usally they always try to rip you off but not Jerry!) Poor Jerry was there for hours but he made sure that everything worked and was secured. I now really have a ... read more

Business response:

Was a pleasure to work with on such a hot day Very thoughtful as well and understands quality of hardware that you can't buy at a home center You get what you pay for $$$
