Area Locksmith

[derekp.livejournal.com]

I'm looking to have my locks re-cored so that a single key opens the front, back, and basement doors (instead of the 5 keys required now).  I'm looking for recommendations for reputable area locksmiths.  Many of the local listings seem to be hijacked by a single national company with local looking listings.  Their numbers all go to the same dispatching service and it's impossible to find a "real" local locksmith.

Thanks in advance!

I liked Christina's lock company when I used them, but that was almost ten years ago:

I had it done at home depot. For 4 locks (2 deadbolts and 2 knobs) it cost around $28 before tax, plus they give you 1 key for each lock...

this was a year ago, the prices might have changed...

Many of the local listings seem to be hijacked by a single national company with local looking listings. Their numbers all go to the same dispatching service and it's impossible to find a "real" local locksmith.

And stay away from them. I asked for this service done and they insisted that they had to change all the hardware -- that I was a total idiot for thinking they could just swap out the cores. In the end they handed me a bill for $500 for only two doors. Since I hadn't gotten a proper estimate from them up-front I chalked it up to a life lesson, but they were incredibly nasty to boot.

check these guys out...
