Steve is simply the best! I've had him install screen doors, replace all doors in my townhouse as well as repair latches, locks, and hinges. He is professional, knowledgeable and an all around great guy.

Steve came out very quickly to fix a front door that was no longer latching. He fixed the door, the price was reasonable, the service was excellent. I found nothing nefarious about Steven's business practices, his work, or his demeanor. He seems like a no nonsense guy that fixes doors. Which he did. Quickly. And competently. So happy we called Steve.

Steve has installed or re-keyed locks for us ever since the '80s in two different homes. And once he added a new threshold going into our back door. We had some prior leakage so he tweaked it and added a metal strip to the door, as well. We've been very pleased with his competent work.

There was several problems with the locks at my relative's house. I contacted this company on Saturday and the owner came out. He fixed both issues with the locks. Fast service.

Great service. Quick response. Steve had us in our house in a matter of minutes. If you need locksmith help call him.! We locked ourselves out of our home late last night. We called a few 24 hour services for help but none would respond or come to our aid. This morning I called A-1 and Steve answered quickly and was there to help us within 30 min. Great service for us.

Steve did an outstanding job installing an interior double french door. The rough opening wasn't perfectly square which necessitated a lot of extra work-a whole day actually and a lot of dust. He built a plastic tent to protect the house from the dust and did a thorough clean up. He had also installed a double front door for us more than ten years ago with the same high quality work. He is responsive to customers and his fees are very competitive.
