Jim's Locksmith Inc

At the recommendation of our office's Property Management Team, I contacted Jim's Locksmiths to cut keys for the door to our suite (after visiting Westlake Hardware and NONE of the keys they made worked). Jim showed up, quickly made ten (10) keys for us at a super reasonable rate. Exceptional service! All keys I've issued to the team work!

They were on time, fair priced and didn't try to sell me up.

They we great. They were very communicative and accommodating on the schedule. The installer was friendly, skilled and provided us with some additional insights.

Jim was on time and explained what he was going to do up front, with the associated costs. Jim was very friendly, quick, and did an excellent job.

Very well.

The locksmith came and could repair both locks. Now both are working so much better I wonder why I waited so long to make the call.

The locksmith arrived on time, he was very professional and quick.  I was very pleased with the qualIty of worked performed and the cost of locksmith services. <br />

I live in a 1937-era house.  The front door is one of my favorite parts of the house and I love the hardware, but over 80 years, the interior handle had gotten progressively looser, to the point that it had fallen out in my hands a few times.  Over the years, I'd had three other highly reputable locksmiths come out and all gave short-lived repairs and said nothing else could be done. <br /> I next anticipated that I would have to replace the entire door (I was expecting that to cost $5,000-$10,000 because I would have wanted it replicated) but I went to Locks N Pulls to ask them about options.  They said that replacing the mortise lock shouldn't be a big deal.  I was excited.   Then, I couldn't find anybody to replace the mortise lock.  <br /> Finally, I contacted Jim's Locksmiths and told him my situation.   His immediate response regarding replacing the lock was, "Doubt it can be done.  Mortise locks of that age are all different and it would probably require extensive work on the door and frame or a wrap-around with metal." Nonetheless, I asked him if he could take a look, understanding that several other highly-rated (Angie's List and everywhere else) locksmiths had indicated it was essentially a hopeless situation. <br /> He came that afternoon, very promptly.  He was super-professional and took a look at the situation, disassembled the lock and said, "Look....this shaft is badly bent."  He took it out to his van and about 30 minutes later, came back in and said that the shaft was so badly bent that it broke while he was straightening it.  Not to worry, though!  He actually created a new one.  He also did what he could with my stripped-out doorknob and he said he thought it would hold, but he couldn't be sure.  He said that I could find a new knob if I wanted and he would come replace it an no additional charge. <br /> A month later, his repair remains perfect.  The doorknob has never worked this well since I bought the house 20 years ago.  I got to save my original hardware and somewhere between $1000 (what I had budgeted for replacing the mortise lock) and $5,000-$10,000 (if I had to replace the door) <br /> This guy was a true professional.  I'm so happy to have found him.  He alone was worth the cost of many, many years of subscriptions to Angie's List. <br />

Mark  was pleasant and helpful on the phone, gave me a very reasonable quote and said he could be here Monday morning. I told him I was pleased with the reviews he has received from Angie's List members and he assured me that excellent service is his foremost goal. <br /> He arrived at the time he said he would, and charged the price he had quoted.   <br /> He was very professional and efficient, knows his trade well and had the job completed in a very short time.  I thought we would end up having to deal with a whole pocket full of keys thus I was delighted to find he was able to rekey all the locks on just two keys even though the deadlocks are different brands!   <br /> If we need a locksmith in the future, we will definitely call Mark and will certainly recommend him to our friends and family. <br /> Thanks Angies List for providing so much excellent information on your site and making it easy to find reliable service providers all in one place! <br />

arrived on time was done in 15 mins <br />

It was great. I called on Monday and they scheduled a time for Wednesday. The locksmith was on time, worked quickly, and talked me out of something that would have been more expensive and useless. Would definitely use again. <br />

<p>My son could not complete the installation of a doorknob replacement, could not remove the last of the old device and open the locked door.</p> <p>Arriving within one hour after I phoned them, Mark finished installing the new knob.  He was in and out in ten minutes.  Did not charge for what he called 'a small thing.'</p> <p><br /></p> <br />

He did fine. However, the key that he made for the garage didn't work. I didn't have time to call him or get him out there. He showed up on time and was very professional.
