I chose Roods Locksmith service based on positive comments by others who had used him before. My request for service received a very timely response, and work replacing three lock sets and rekeying was completed today. He did a quality installation and was more than reasonable in pricing. He gets a high mark!

Dennis did a great job changing out our digital deadbolt. He had the tools necessary to be able to update the lock to our existing keys. Great communicator scheduling appointment and staying in touch day of.

Roods Locksmith’s work was excellent. He rekeyed our entire home and installed several locks. We actually used him again a few days later. He is on time and efficient.
