We called Knight Safe & Lock to see if they could help us with a sticky door lock issue we had been experiencing. Not only was I impressed with how quickly they were able to come out to our home but also with the level of professionalism and efficiency in fixing our problem. In addition to the great job Lee Mentzos did with our front door, he was also kind enough to give us some recommendations for programming automobile keys; as we are in need of another spare. We highly recommend Lee and the services of Knight Safe & Lock! Another great local Gig Harbor business.

Lee arrived a couple minutes early, was professional;, courteous, and observed the appropriate Covid protocols. I called him just to re-key the locks in my home, but I asked about the quality of what was here (really old locksets, high wear on the mechanisms, etc.) so I opted for high-security locks, replaced the knobs with levers, and went from the (tired) bronze to brushed nickel. Lee took his time to get the locks all working smoothly, and fixed the strike plates on at least two of the doors, and added a deadbolt on the door to the garage. I highly recommend his work.
