Joe from Astoria Local Deadbolt & Key was very professional and incredibly helpful. I was looking for someone to install another deadbolt/hotel chain-like security lock on my door-- I'm living alone and the only lock on my door was a weak deadbolt. I called Astoria Local Deadbolt & Key up and he offered to come right away, but I told him that it was a non-emergency and could wait until after the holidays-- but he made an appointment with me for the next day. He brought a number of different options, and explained which he thought would work best and why. Ultimately, I went with a lock because he said he uses it in his own house, and he didn't think I needed to spend tons of money on a huge industrial type lock. He also explained why he advised against the "chain-like" locks. I also felt like the estimate he had given me over the phone was very reasonable, and he actually tried to swing it so that he could charge me less (he ended up having to chisel the door frame, but the cost was exactly what he had quoted.)
He was super nice, professional, helpful, honest, and very reasonably priced!
