This was my first time using Hamilton Lock and Safe. I just locked my keys in my van and I didn't know who else to call. Kevin was professional and courteous. I will be using them in the future.

Incredible service from Kevin. I experienced my worst nightmare on Thanksgiving after not being able to go home to family and all of my roommates being out of town with their families, Kevin was the only locksmith in Gainesville that picked up the phone or was available to service; Kevin even went out of his way to bring Thanksgiving dinner after I had thought everything had hit the fan; he not only deserves a massive raise, but all the business. My true Thanksgiving hero.

I have used Hamilton Lock and Safe for many years with our office locks, security, and personal jobs. The level of expertise, professionalism they have on each job is phenomenal. Plus, they are always available during the weekends too. Always during the week, you will get someone on the phone. If I call during the weekend, someone always calls me back within the hour. Sometimes sooner. Hamilton Lock and safe is a family owned company and they treat all their customers like family.
They understand if you get locked out of your car or house. They understand the frustration that occurs during this time of need. That is why they are prompt with their response and most likely already have a person in your neck of the woods. They deal with customers all through Florida and depending on how urgent the matter is, sometimes they are willing to go out of state. My point is, Hamilton Lock and safe is reliable. You can always count on their services and complete the job with 100% customer satisfaction with affordable prices. I highly recommend their services.
