As a real estate agent, 'lockouts' are not uncommon. As I was pulling the door shut I knew the key was on the other side. And the listing agent did not have immediate access to the spare key!
After leaving word for two high profile locksmiths, and finding a local out of business....I tried A Perfect Pick. I figured it was my lucky day.
John answered the phone immediately and personally. He was available when I needed him to be there quickly, and while it was a very very old lock, he managed to have it 'picked' in under a half hour.
And the price was less than half of the other 'high profile' quotes which were both over $200.
John was a down-to-earth guy and very professional.
I would highly recommend him in a heartbeat!
