We needed a locksmith to rekey our newly purchased house and we are so happy we used modern lock and security. They rekeyed our 4 locks in less than an hour. Price was reasonable, especially considering the quickness and quality of their work. We would recommend them and will use them again if needed.

Great service! A real locksmith! They have been here twice and fixed the problems (a lock that needed adjusting and replacing the guts in another) The latter, other "locksmiths" wouldn't even come out and look at. I won't use anyone but Darrin and Andrew in the future! Their prices are reasonable and they know what they are doing.

I was looking for a locksmith to rekey my new home and found Modern Lock & Security on Yelp. I called about 10 different businesses for a quote and went with them as they responded quickly, had next day availability, and had the best price. Darrin and Andrew were friendly, knowledgeable, showed up right on schedule and the job was done within 30 minutes. I'd definitely work with them again for future locksmith services.

The Codelock lock on my office lab door was "jammed" suddenly on Wednesday. Not sure what the issue was and the keys didn't work. I contacted Modern Lock & Security and Darrin provided a quote within minutes based on my description. Darrin and Andrew were able to come the next day at noon. They were punctual, professional and courteous. Within moments, they were able to open the door and figure out the problem. Also, coincidentally, our property manager recommended Modern Lock & Security. It turns out, Darrin has been working with our property management company for a long time. Now, I know why! Very pleasant experience - fast, responsive, and helpful. Thank you, Darrin and Andrew.
