My locksmith needs were completed by Josh and were done so quickly and professionally. I couldn’t have asked for better service and would definitely call on Cardinal Locksmith service again when needed.

The work done on repairing/replacing my storm door lock was perfect. After trying to repair the old lock (sentimental value), he worked hard finding a new, similar handle that fits beautifully. Excellent work!

Josh helped adjust two strike plates in my home and while they were more complicated than anticipated, he stayed until the job was done and I was happy with the result. I would not hesitate to hire them again if I run into the same issue because of their professionalism, communication, and value. Thank you!

Brian responded to my request within two hours. He was upfront about pricing and what the job was likely to cost. He came out on time, fixed the issue I asked about, and cheerfully fixed a stuck lock I hadn't thought to ask about. The price was at estimate, which I appreciated. I definitely recommend Cardinal.

Brian was very responsive during scheduling the service. He provided a detailed estimate. He rekeyed two locks and fixed the lock on the back sliding door of my home. Great quality work. I would definitely recommend him!
