Out all the Trades, the Lock smith have been the hardest to deal with.1/2 of these guys want an appearance fee the other half fail to call back.
I wanted to add three bolt lock to my garage door and surrounding door.
I called the secretary of this company and she made it seem like it would be so affordable and easy breezy.
Easy yes, affordable no, it was $350. Mid-way through the process the rate went up from $300 to $350.
Basically you take a day off to meet these guys and when they show up you are too anxious to get it done to tell them no Thank you so they gauge you
My suggestion is have a handy man cut out the holes for the bolt locks, buy the lock , go somewhere (do not have them come to you ) to get it keyed (one key for all three lock, or how many you need) –then see if the same handy man will install the locks. (My contractor had issue issues cutting the hole and this led to me going the lock smith way.) Which I regret
Back to this company, don’t call them, they will jack the price on you when the show up.
