The tech confirmed the price upfront, installed and configured the Schlage Encode on both entry doors, and walked me through the app setup. $175 for labor. Everything has worked without issues.
Locked out on a Sunday evening in the Mission. Took about 50 minutes to arrive, which they warned me about upfront due to SF parking. The locksmith was professional and the price was $120 flat as quoted.

The most consistent theme in our reviews: the final price matched what was quoted on the phone. Customers note this specifically because it is not always the case with other providers.
Customers consistently mention that our arrival time matched the estimate given on the call. We always give an honest window and aim to be within it.
Our technicians provide their BSIS registrant card without being asked. Multiple reviewers specifically mention this as a reason they felt confident using our service.
