Reviews
“Great folks that have always came through for me. Robert handling the phones and the other guy whose name escapes me — and Matt — do a great job for me as I use them in my capacity as a Facilities Manager for all my buildings. Great company!”
“I called Don Hill's out yesterday in a bit of a bind. I had reasonable expectations of when they could arrive, as I had called them on the tail end of the business day. To my surprise they made themselves available, communicated at every turn of the situation, repaired our lock, and recognized that the lock that was not working was still under warranty through their company. I know it shouldn't shock me, but their nonchalant honesty did. As a commercial facilities manager who does business with all sorts of tradesmen on a daily basis, this is the type of situation that earns my loyalty and trust. Younger businesses would do well to take note.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Honest, transparent, and a true craftsman. Polite, straightforward, and did an incredible job. Extremely responsive, showed up when he said he would, and pricing was fair with no surprises. It's rare to find this level of professionalism. Highly recommend!”
“Don Hill's Lock and Safe were so fantastic! The gentleman who helped me was named Paul. He was so efficient, skilled, kind, and respectful. What a wonderful experience! I will save them in my contacts for the future. I cannot recommend them highly enough — especially Paul!”
“I've had them do work for my university, and they're solid and trustworthy. Also, they have stock when I need it.”
“Amazing, skilled locksmith and store. They offer 3,000 different keys and can order if they don't have it. They helped replace a difficult mailbox key for me.”
