I had Steve of AV locksmiths worked for the jobs for my house. He was very professional, friendly and efficient. Steve responded quickly after the initial enquiries for my troubles. The next day he was working on my house. I would recommend AV Locksmiths for any locksmith jobs you need. By the way I already used AV Locksmiths services twice and I was happy with the outcome. Kudos AV Locksmith!!

Very impressed with Steve's service today. Cut keys for every lock required and replaced the locking mechanism on one of my sliding doors. Steve was very friendly and was easy to talk to. He finished all jobs required, invoiced on the spot and was about to leave when i remembered another small job needing attending to where a door needing to be forcefully closed for it to latch correctly. Steve did not hesitate in resolving that issue before he left. Highly recommend and works at affordable rates.
