I was quite pleased with Michael’s excellent service. He was prompt, he was quick, he got the job done in no time!
He was in an out in a flash, and did a thorough job. Michael had a number of locks to rekey. There was a lock that I thought would be problematic but he tackled the job. He was cordial, professional, and punctual. I love the quality of his work! I would highly recommend Michael if you need an outstanding Locksmith!

Michail was great to work with ... he responded to the urgency quickly, provided an upfront fair price, showed up on time and was extremely professional on how he went about resolving the problem. Will hire him again for any lock or re-keying requirements in the future.

Very professional and reliable! We are building a new home from the ground up and had the doors delivered. He was able to install the locks the same day and program all keyless locks. Even provided the batteries since we totally forgot about them! Thanks for going the extra mile!
