What recent reviews say

Most visits result in swift, clean unlocking and expert fixes within 30-45 minutes. Technicians like Steven, Teck, Robert, Terrance, and Joel know older locks well and often solve problems on the phone first, saving money. One team member's rudeness was acknowledged and apologised for, but poor initial communication and outdated location data have frustrated a few callers.

Services span residential doors, smart locks, car unlocking, and gate repair. Pricing sits between fair (often $100 and up for cylinder changes) and occasionally steep for standard jobs. The 25-year track record shows up across reviews in veteran staff skill, though newer customers sometimes hit communication gaps before being redirected to more helpful technicians.
