Fact: Burglaries or break-ins occur most often during the day when occupants are at work, shopping, or running errands. Always lock your door and windows and have a security system in place, if possible. However, a skilled intruder can break into your home or business by using many different tools and techniques such as lock picking and key bumping.

Ingo was great to work with. He is efficient and professional. I liked how he went around the house with me to see which doors I wanted to rekey. He promptly responded to my request for his services and worked with my calendar to get the job done. I would recommend Ingo and I will use him again the future.

Ingo saved me ( a tired mom) when I was rushing around and locked myself out of my house. He responded so fast and was able to get me back in the house immediately. I also lost keys to our shed and he was able to take care of that as well. I would highly recommend him and while I hope I don't lock myself out again I would call again in a flash.

I contacted Cavalier Lock on a Saturday afternoon since I locked myself out of the house while I was walking my dog in the backyard. Amazingly within 10 mins he arrived at my house and inmmedielty solved my problem. I couldn't believe how fast, friendly and professional he was. I really appreciate the service, and it's great to know that we have reliable businesses in our community.
I will definitely contact Cavalier Lock for any future services.

I'm a contractor and I needed a locksmith to come key two deadbolts, one which wasn't working. Cavalier lock came within an hour, replaced one lock and keyed them both the same and then adjusted any door knob that was dragging to boot. All for a great price. Thank you cavalier lock! I will use you in the future.

Ingo is the man! He picked up the phone right away (and it was almost 5pm and we're 5 Days from xmas) and he was at my house the very next morning to fix/install locks and door knobs. He even went the extra mile and made four keys (three for my tenants and one for me!) My tenants were impressed and I was impressed. Excellent work, honest and a guy you can trust!

Cavalier Lock is super speedy and efficient! My husband and I locked ourselves out of the house during the excitement of the solar eclipse (of course). We found their number online and called - as promised, the locksmith arrived within 15 minutes, and we were back in the house within 2-3 minutes (amazing!!) He was nice and professional - verified who we were and was very kind about the situation. There is a $10 additional fee for credit card payment, but he gave us the time to grab cash or a checkbook to avoid that extra cost. Overall, I highly recommend Cavalier Lock if you find yourself in a
