What recent reviews say

Reno arrives within 30 minutes and solves lock issues quickly, often in under 10 minutes. His pricing stays transparent and competitive; he routinely advises on prevention and refuses unnecessary work, building trust across residential and emergency calls.

Service spans broken keys, jammed doors, digital lock battery issues, and new lockset installation. He brings tools and occasionally an assistant for complex jobs like smart lock setup. The rare concern centres on identity verification during visits.

Out of 11 reviews averaging 3 stars, installation quality and customer service both fall short of expectations. Yale digital locks have failed shortly after install; responses to problems are slow and often redirect customers toward new purchases rather than repairs.
