I spent over 3K on a good, quality safe from these people. They delivered it and set it up for me. I discovered I needed it moved over literally 4 feet from where it is presently and the owner told me that would be $250.00. Really? $250.00? Unbelievable! Absolute greed! Never again!

I had visited this business for a few key duplicates. One of the copied keys didn't work. I went back a few days later and they made it right, and even included an extra key. Overall I'm satisfied with the service I received.
