Testimonials

  • January 3, 2012
    My son locked the bedroom door. I didn't have a key for it, and it was never locked before. The locksmith came over and even took his shoes off, since we don't wear shoes in the house, and unlocked it in less than a minute. Then he made us 3 keys and charged only 65.00. What a deal!
