Locked my keys in the car and the man showed up at said time. The husband and wife have a really great business going on for themselves. I will be recommending them to others.

Omg I can't give enough stars. We were locked out of our family's beach house. Susan came to our rescue in no time! She was pleasant, kind, and SO happy to help. Susan made a key for us from a picture of the key to the house. What's a miracle! Very reasonably priced as well. We can't recommend happy locks locksmith enough! Great business!

They were so amazing! They arrived sooner than anticipated and got my sister and I into our camper so quickly! We had just driven over an hour to get there and it was such a relief to not have to drive back home! Also, you gotta love the Toy Story characters on the roof of their car lol

I have a good experience with this company. I locked myself out of my house and her team came about half an hour later to unlock the front door for me. This is my second time using her service. She responded to my request promptly. I definitely use her company again in the future.

I was about to return to Chicago from Delaware and discovered I'd locked my keys in my car. I called on New Year's Eve before 7 am. Michael came in less than 30 minutes and had me on my way in no time. He and his wife were so responsive, professional and helpful. On a holiday, at that hour, I expected to be gouged price wise. They were very reasonable. Hope to never need them again, but highly recommend them! Happy New year to both of you!

They go above and beyond to make sure your locks work properly. I had them come to change my locks after buying my house. One of the door levers was broken. She fixed it and also fixed the front door lock so I could close it easier. Highly recommend! Very fair price, too!

So pleased with this business! Getting locked out is so stressful. This happened to me during a monthly outing with mom. The whole ordeal was barely a hiccup with Susan's prompt response and en route updates. It was a Saturday, during a pandemic and this business pulled off great service like it was an ordinary Monday! Sharing Happy Locks with everyone I know! You hate to need them. If you do, however, they are the ones to call!

We were locked out of our home at the beach at 11:00PM on a Friday evening and tried a few locksmiths without any luck. We were on our way back home, a 2 hour drive, when I tried Happy Locks, they were so kind and came out to help us. I would happily recommend their services, they helped us out of a real jam and saved our weekend! Thank you Happy Locks!

They answer the phone! They fixed a complicated issue that my locksmith started and never finished fixing. We've been living with a half-fixed and half-working door waiting for my locksmith to find the time to call me back and finish the job that we already paid for. NOW, it is fixed, an HOUR after I called Happy Locks Locksmith. Thrilled with it. working right, better than it was even originally installed -- our home feels safe and secure, once again. Note: locksmith is also a missionary. Very happy to be giving business to another human that is spreading Jesus' love. I couldn't be happier!

I can't thank Susan at happy locks enough for getting me into my home! I arrived to my beach house in south bethany late evening on Labor Day weekend after a 3 1/2 hour drive with my 2 babies. After realizing that I had forgotten the correct key I proceeded to call 15 different locksmiths whose websites claimed to be "serving bethany 24/7". NONE of them were willing to come to south bethany despite clearly advertising they would.

I even called the police non emergency number for help as I feared I would have to drive back home if I couldn't get into my home. Susan was the only locksmith who came and got me into my home. She was professional and efficient. This is the only reliable locksmith in the area! Thank you!

After locking ourselves out of our rental home at 8pm on a Saturday night, we called another locksmith and was told that someone would call us back in a few minutes. 40 minutes later and a couple of (frantic) call back to that locksmith, we realized that no one was going to come to our aid. Panic set in. Are we sleeping in the car tonight? That's when a little Google search revealed happy locks and the amazing Mike.

The woman who took our call was super professional and felt like we were in good hands. Mike arrived within 15 minutes and got our rental home opened in another 15 minutes. Plus his rate was less than the first company we called. Would definitely recommend happy locks if you're in a bind.

Susan arrived on time. She was immediately friendly and kind. She welcomed my company as she was working. Being a woman myself, I was happy to see a woman who is so competent. She was extremely knowledgeable in helping me to make the important decisions of what security measures to install in my home. She was patient in answering all my questions ( And believe me I had plenty of questions). She worked efficiently and knew exactly what she was doing.

She placed the locks in well and boy do they work smoothly. She did quality work. She is a consummate professional and her fees are reasonable. She will be doing all of my lock work from here on in. I will highly recommend her to my friends and anyone I know. Do not hesitate to hire Susan you will not be disappoint

We locked our keys in the trunk of our 2007 mustang with the top down! We thought we were going to have to wait 2 days until the Ford dealer opened but Susan found a solution to open the trunk and we are now on our way back home to DC! Thanks Susan - you're amazing!
