Matt gave me a great price, and honored the price when it was all done, no upsell. He was professional, and courteous. I strongly recommend using this locksmith. All their great reviews are real, I would give more stars if it was possible.
I contacted 1 hour Locksmith to have 4 doors in my new home rekeyed. Unlike most companies out there they were able to provide me with an exact quote. They were professional. Showed up on time and did an outstanding job! I would highly recommend them!
Matt was proficient and efficient changing out our front door handle and setting up Schlage Keypad. Highly recommend!!
Excellent experience. Highly recommend for promptness, reliability, trust, knowledgeable, fair price. I’ll be referring them! Key broke in front work door is what was addressed.
The technician who performed the work was pleasant, polite and did a great job. Would definitely recommend this company to have your locks rekeyed.
Great work. I had two smart locks installed and Matt rekeyed them to be the same key. Great work! Very pleased.

Best locksmith I have ever used! Getting locked out of your car, and your home is not fun! Having someone who is quick and reliable to help you out is very important! Give them a call next time you are in a pinch!
Professional service and fast replies

We came to the office to copy a car key, but nobody’s here! It’s a mobile locksmith, you should call him and he’ll come at your place…. Waste of time…
Rekeyed my whole house and install the Halo smart lock. True professional!
Excellent Locksmith Service I recently had all the locks on my back door apartment and couldn’t be happier with the service. The locksmith arrived on time, explained my options clearly, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. The new locks feel solid and secure, and the pricing was fair for the quality of work. I was walked through how to use the new hardware. Highly recommend for anyone needing locks changed or upgraded — professional, punctual.
