R.L. Helms Lock and Door was outstanding! Arrived on time ready to work. Completing my door, door moulding and trim install. He took his time making sure the door was level and measured correctly. If I could give him 10 stars I would.

I called Rob the night before to rekey my locks. He was punctual professional and very pleasant to speak with. He also didn’t rip me off at all and made efforts not to. My home is safer now and if I ever need a locksmith again, I know I can count on Rob. Thank again EMc

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to offer fair pricing for top level services. One thing I try not to do is to throw out a low price with no intention to support that estimate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once I know what the customer wants or needs, I bring the solution to them. Having the right equipment on hand to solve the problem.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly learning, taking classes, and studying solution. This knowledge I add to my 40 years of construction experience.
