"Great service, friendly customer service and at a fair price - what more can you want? Many thx!"

"I went in to get some keys cut. He didn’t have the blank, and said it was no longer available. I checked on Amazon while I waited for him to try to find them and found a pack of 10 and ordered it. When they came in I went in and one of his guys cut all 10 for me. When I went to pay they said they don’t charge to cut if you bring the blank. I was surprised as I full well expected to pay the full price. The owner basically insulted me, yelled at me and basically threw me out of the store! I was there quite awhile waiting for the keys to be cut and witnessed him treat several other customers similarly. This guy just ain’t right. Would never do biz with him again. IN RESPONSE TO OWNER: nice try! It’s definitely your place. After the way I was treated I’d certainly never forget!"

"Tried to call multiple times and sent multiple emails with a simple inquiry for locks over the span of a week. Couldn't get anyone to call me back or to answer an email. Edit: Finally connected with Bob. He seems like a nice guy. Still a bit miffed it took so long to get in touch, but overall just happy to move forward with business."

"Cheerful and helpful owner took care of what I needed and shared his impressive knowledge. Very happy with my interaction. Shop was easy to find and parking was easy. Will definitely return if I have any other similar needs. Highly recommended."

"I went to Bob on three different occasions as I was installing a vintage door on my home. First visit I needed a mortise lock cylinder. Bob was not only able to sell me a cylinder, he had a choice of finishes. He keyed the lock for me to make entry into my home seamless. I went back to have the locks spring latch reversed and then to bring in a Striker plate that was off by a fraction of an inch. Bob put them on his workbench reversed the latch and then filed down the striker until it was a perfect fit for the lock. Bob made working on this 90 year old lock assembly look easy. As someone that works full time, I find that this store's Saturday hours are very convenient. Saturdays hours are sporadic, so call before you go, yet you will often find bob in the store "Catching up on paper work". So... If you are working with old doors and their locks, keep this store's number in your back pocket, cause you'll most likely be beating a path to their location.."
