Federal Way Locksmith

If you are reading this be sure to take your money else where! Keys locked in the car at 7 pm guy came over hr late and charged my BF 205 dollars just to open the car! I called him up after to give me details on why it was this expensive and he said he’ll call me back which he never didn’t.

First let me be clear: the guy was polite and did a good job. Unfortunately that’s all I can say that was good.
Asked them to come out and do new locks for a home I bought, the backdoor didn’t have a key at all and they were from the 80’s. I could have done it myself but didn’t have the time. Figured it wouldn’t be too much money.
Called at 11am, guy was supposed to be there by 2pm, he didn’t show up until 2:30pm…3 and a half hours. No call to let me know what the deal was and they acted like I was bothering them when I called to check on him. My place is NOT hard to find and this is on a Saturday when there is literally no traffic. I’d hate to see what this would mean for someone locked out of their car in the rain!
He told me «10 minutes». Took him twice that time. Again, had I the time, I could have done it in 5, for all he did do.
He didn’t fully clean up after his work. Screws from the new AND old knobs, plastic, etc all over the floor.
$ 250 for a deadbolt and a handle with different keys is robbery, considering they use some no-​name knockoff brand and the only real labor is with a power driver. To put that in perspective, a comparable handle is $ 30 at Lowes, deadbolt is around $ 30 – 40. Please don’t let the «as low as $ 29!!!» trick you, that’s to have them come out and tell you what you need, it includes NO services. Just to rekey an existing lock is $ 40 on top of the $ 29 «trip fee», so you’re minimum $ 70.
So yes, the job was done well and they’re bonded, but shop around on the labor/​parts fee.
