Great experience with Friendly Locksmith! They were able to come out right away and install a smart lock that I had purchased myself on our older Edwardian home. The installation went smoothly, and they were professional, efficient, and easy to work with. While they were here, I realized I also needed several locks…

Friendly lockssmith is the best. They came here in right time and service is amazing. They did rekey and installation for all the locks we have which was professional and fast. On the top of that, their price was way more affordable than the other ones who gave me a quote. Highly recommend!!!
