I had an issue with my door needing alignment and a new deadbolt installed. I initially tried to do it myself but was stumped by special screws and an old door with a metal plate I wasn't equipped to deal with. I sent a picture of the deadbolt to this company, got a quote over the phone, and to my surprise, they were at my door within an hour! The team was professional, knowledgeable, and handled the job with the care an old door like mine deserved. The price? Much better than the $250+ I've paid before for similar services. Highly recommend for anyone needing door work or security upgrades. Their efficiency and cost-effectiveness are unmatched. Give them a call; you won't regret it! read more

I'm very happy with service and punctuality. Mike said he'd be at my house between 11:00-12:00, and he arrived at 11:00 on the nose. We went over the job again, he made some suggestions. ( I was replacing 7 knobs on 4 doors) He was very professional and quiet (quiet enough not to disturb my knapping 4 month old) he was very patient, during the service, had to run down to the home depot to buy a new set of locks - he waited for me (about 20 minutes) - no attitude - no problem. He even cut me 2 new keys with no charge! read more

I needed help changing the keys at my house so I went on the net to find a locksmith in Pasadena using the service of Yelp. Several company names came up and I chose Good Lock & Key based on the rating that it had. At first I was note sure; I called and I was told that I will be called back in one hour. Surely I received a call back shortly before the time to tell me that the technician will be at my door in 10 minutes. He came and did an excellent job of fixing my main, back, and garage door. read more
