I had a great experience working with Gary. He installed 3 deadbolt lock sets for my home and he took great care to make sure everything was installed perfectly. He also cleaned up any debris from the job and made sure I tested all keys to ensure everything worked as it should. I would recommend him to anyone needing locksmith services.

Gary is the best! He was able to come out same-day to rekey my new home after closing, and he was a pleasure to work with. Gary is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, and he even offers free key copies as part of his service, which saved me a trip to the hardware store! His prices are reasonable, fair, and consistent, and I will be using him for all my future locksmith needs.

Gary is an outstanding locksmith. He responded very quickly and assured me he could address all of our lock needs. We wanted to rekey our front door, completely replace the keypad lock on the back door and add a dead bolt to that back door as well as to our garage door. He came in and assessed the situation, advised me on what locks to pick up, and then did a phenomenal job installing. He even taught me a few extra things along the way. He cleaned up after himself which is super appreciative. Gary then walked me through all of the changes and made sure I was pleased before leaving. Excellent work and very happy.

Gary at expert lock was very responsive when it came to messaging him. His price was reasonable compared to the other quotes I received one of which was $250. He installed a new deadbolt for me from drilling the holes to installing the lock and cleaning up the work area. He came out the next day and did a quality Job. I highly reccomend Gary at expert lock.
