Reviews for Philadelphia locksmiths

Recent success stories from people in the Philadelphia area.
Hadar
The locks in my home were very old and I was concerned about my families safety. BucksLocks arrived and replaced all of my doors with new quality locks. The technician was very professional, friendly, fair priced and arrived on time. I highly recommend this company and will be using them again in the future.

I highly recommend Mobile Locksmith! I needed a deadbolt installed and Ron came on the day I was available and did the installation professionally and quickly! He not only made sure I was satisfied but cleaned up so I wouldn't even know I had work done. I would definitely call him again to do any locksmith work I needed done.
