A very nice gentleman who took great care to make sure my lock repair was done correctly and that locks were functioning properly before leaving. Friendly and professional, had a pleasant conversation with him while he was working on my door locks. I will definitely call on him if I have another lock issue in the future.

I had a broken lock on my Anderson door.I had called several people prior to trying thumbtack. Most didn’t want to be bothered. One guy said that I needed a new door $7000. I went to thumbtack. Woody called me within minutes of my call. He was onsite within the hour. He looked at the problem, analyzed it. Then did his magic. My door is repaired .Great job Woody !

I reached out for a rekeying the previous day and heard back within minutes. After getting scheduled, the job was done in less than an hour. The work was done perfectly and I'm very happy with my new keys. Thank you!
