Last time I used a locksmith, I got hosed! I arrived at my parents' House in Brooklyn, only to realize that I had no house key while I tried to break into what had become an impregnable fortress. I called BROOKLYN ATLANTIC 24 HOUR LOCKSMITH from the Yellow Pages. I happened to like the fact that a human being answered the phone and that they could come out right away. The locksmith guy they sent was a garrulous guy who chattered on endlessly, as he worked quickly and efficiently, marveling at the numbskulls who had put the locks in the first place (not my fault, I swear), and diplomatically wondering how we lived with such ineptitude for so long (we have a high tolerance for ineptitude). He was a little vague about how much it was all going to cost, but he assured me it wasn't going to be much. Still, he was a perfectionist, and it was taking a long time, and I kept saying, "Hey, that's cool, it doesn't have to be PERFECT", but for him, it had to be. And lo and behold: Our lives were transformed. You know how often you lock your doors? Several times a day! You know how you get used to minor hassles like having to pull the door just so, to wiggle the lock just so, and everything changes when it rains, causing you to recalibrate the way you wiggle everything so that the lock works? We could now close and lock our doors without even thinking about it! How much is that worth? Waaaay more than the less-than-$500 he charged us for Six locks on three doors, and mucho sanding and new hardware to replace slipshod hardware. What a deal! Not to mention the privilege of watching an oddball perfectionist who truly prided himself on his craft and his honesty. If you call BROOKLYN ATLANTIC 24 HOUR LOCKSMITH ask for the ask for the really talkative guy. LOL
