Babcock & Son Security

Cut me a new gm plus key fast, polite, and cheap. I’ll visit them again in a heart beat.

We decided with the new house to have the locks changed. The previous owner was a contract firm fixing up the place so we wanted to make sure that there are not any keys roaming around out there. I called this morning and they were able to change the locks today at the end of the day so I only had to leave work an hour early.
Now I live in Minneapolis so they are willing to come to this side of the river. Another bonus.
They did an amazing job. He assessed all the deadlocks and made suggestions but never forced any decisions. It was great.
Although it was not cheap. It was all worth it in the end. Now our new home is safe and sound.

This place is awesome! I just have to say after a lot of poor customer service experiences lately it made my day going into this store. From the woman who answered the phone to the gentleman that copied my keys damn near blindfolded I was impressed. I hope its not weird that I’m reviewing a locksmith… Even if I move far away from Highland Park I’d definitely come back to this place for all my key duplicating needs.

I am pretty sure you don’t relish the idea of having your locks changed, and neither do I.
Actually, let’s talk about the few reasons why anybody would need to have this service, or to call Babcock & Son in the first place.
1. Your gf/​bf is psycho, and you kicked him/​her out.
2. You are a dumbass and locked yourself out.
3. You don’t trust anybody and want more locks.
4. You keys were lost/​stolen
I am sure there are more reasons, and I am sure that if you ask David when you call, he will tell you.
As for my reason?
None of the above, really.
I got a call from «xcel energy» saying they need new keys to read/​change our meters at our condo.
Well, our meters are set up to read automatically and when I told him this, he got all strange and then said that they are going back to manual.
Hmmmm.
Strange. So, 100 keys later, and with a swift response on the part of Babcock, our buildings are secure.
Oh, that and it had been like 10 years since the last re-​key, and you can never be too safe these days, right?
