Report
I talked to Rick and explained that I had purchased a new door knob with a lock but that I needed to have it installed as they'd have to cut through the steel safety door. He told me no problem, and we set an appointment. Perfect. A few days later, Colin (I hope I remember your name correctly!) came out to take a look. To my shock, he told me that they only install locks/door knobs that they sell.
It would have been helpful if Rick had informed me of that instead of telling me that it wouldn't be a problem (minus one star). Nevertheless, Colin couldn't have been nicer, more accommodating, or professional. He set up the door perfectly, explained what I would need to do, and even watched me to ensure I set it up correctly. He was just incredible, and my door opens and closes better than it ever has in the last 30 years! Colin gets 10 stars!

Was able to call and speak with someone which had proven to be pretty difficult looking for a locksmith! Also was able to get a general ballpark over the phone which I was appreciative of. Scheduling was pretty easy and Collin the technician was very professional and had the work done quickly and effectively. I would certainly recommend them!
