What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently report steep charges far above market rates, failed key duplicates that did not work, and shoe repair jobs that fell apart within weeks. The owner does not respond to complaints or acknowledge mistakes. One reviewer praised fast key duplication, but this was buried under 21 critical reviews citing inflated prices (belt shortening quoted at $30 versus $6-10 elsewhere), damaged shoes, defective keys, and closed hours that did not match their published schedule.

Customers consistently report same-day or next-day service with minimal wait. Staff respond at all hours, including midnight calls, and installers arrive early or on time. The team teaches users how to set up fingerprint and facial recognition on site, handles alignment issues from previous installs, and avoids hard-selling unnecessary upgrades. Technicians deliver clean, neat workmanship that conceals old drill holes and fits locks seamlessly to door design. Interlock sends warranty terms and user guides in writing, maintains a clear invoice record, and focuses on matching the right lock model to each customer's existing setup rather than the priciest option. Multiple reviewers cite Alex or Marlene by name.

Kevin delivers locksmith work on tight timelines, often 30 minutes or less from contact to arrival. His reputation rests on opening locks without damage, honest diagnostics (like spotting a safe's dead battery rather than recommending drilling), and prices markedly lower than competitors. The service spans emergency callouts, residential and commercial locks, safe opening, and digital locks. Reviews consistently mention Kevin by name, his willingness to verify identity before entry, and his responsiveness even late at night. No complaints appear across the sample.
