What a wonderful and unexpected experience we had! I accidentally locked my friend out of her house. She had just spend most of the day in the ER and this was not an extra stress she needed. I shared all the details and to my surprise was updated by the owner they would arrive within 15 minutes and it would be on the house! They were Fast, Professional and incredibly Kind. Refused any tip and wished us a Merry Christmas. My faith is restored in man kind that we are blessed to have this kind of AMAZING business in our community! Thx again DERLS LOCK AND SAFE!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL SHARE HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE FAR AND WIDE!!!

I highly recommend this business. very professional and also caring and friendly. A family member locked her keys and phone in the car during church service. not only did Dylan respond to us but he was there right as the service ended. He had her in her car in 5 minutes. he reassured her that everything was fine because she was anxious. My family is very grateful and we highly recommend this business.

Came to the house and was able to open my shed that I lost the key to in about a minute. It took longer to walk across the yard to the shed that it took him to get into it. Price was better than the others I talked to that day and they were on their way right after the call. Others wanted me to wait three to five days. I will definitely call them again if I need another locksmith.

I must say that there are very few trustworthy company gems out there that are straight forward with what their costs are and what they can do for you. These guys are one of those gems! Not only did they help me with getting my keys out of my car, they made me an extra door key and a second one with electronic buttons right there on the spot. Customer service was A++ AMAZING! Keep up the excellent work!
