If you need fast, reliable, and high quality door lock/deadbolt installation, SLY Residential is your only choice! SLY arrived within an hour of my request on Thumbtack (after hours)! He even made the trip to Home Depot to pick up the necessary supplies! SLY went above and beyond to make sure my door opened and closed properly so the lock could engage without forcing it. My dogs even like him! I am beyond happy with the top service we received. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

I sent a message at 6am about getting a deadbolt lock replaced on my front door and Sylvester responded within minutes and was able to come out same day to replace my lock. He also noticed that the latch on my other lock was slightly off and repaired that. He was very professional and communicated with me every step of the way. His price was reasonable and didn’t change from what he quoted me. I will definitely be in contact with him again for any future needs and will recommend him to friends and family

Sly quickly fixed my door lock so that the door was able to close. In contrast, another provider estimated that I needed to buy a whole new door.
