Anthony is a fine craftsman when it comes to locks. He, however, is very expensive. I paid over $700 for him to install new locks and deadbolts on two of my doors. He also charged a $65 service call fee onto my bill. Anthony said his company provides free quotes and would not have charged me the $65 if I initially turned him down for the job.
He told me the service charge was for his "van." I reluctantly agreed to give him the job (he was upfront with me about his charges) as he reminded me that he is licensed and there are a lot of scammers out there who will do a bad job for cheaper. It took

Anthony is a kind and patient gentleman. He was prompt in getting back to me on a Sunday and showed up the next day to help me get back into my safe. While he was here I asked him about rekeying my home and he got it all done and even replaced a broken lock. He is honest and thorough. They are legitimate licensed locksmiths. I highly recommend him and American Lock and Key.

Positive: Quality
Anthony returned my call the same day and came the next morning to repair the door lock. Fortunately, we had a brand new spare part for him to use. He installed and adjusted the lock in under an hour. Charge was $150. Door works well and I’m pleased with the results.

I have a fully functioning lock for my bathroom in a 100 year old house- but no key, so I'm afraid of someone locking themselves in there and my not being able to get in. This is especially critical because I'm a foster mom, and I tend to worry about things like a 5 year old having a meltdown after locking themselves in.
Anthony is the best! He worked around my somewhat challenging work schedule to make a house call and found a fix for my problem right away, by carefully disassembling the lock and making a notch in the lock that a screwdriver could open. He's clearly passionate

Anthony answered the phone on a late Sunday afternoon. I'd lost my house key, (and got screwed over by the first non-advert thing that came in Google). Anthony took a lot of time explaining things, and then replaced both lock cylinders at a very reasonable price. This aided my peace of mind after the previous guy sent out by a different outfit had screwed me, so I didn't want a lock that he had installed in one door, and I'd lost my key, so I wanted that lock changed too.

Due to a recent home invasion around the neighborhood, we decided to make sure our doors were extra secure by adding an additional lock to the front door and garage door. Anthony Leonardo is a registered locksmith, and very dedicated to his trait. He took his time in making sure that all the locks were secure, used high quality locks and provided a master key. He spent over 4 hours on two locks to make sure they were placed correctly, and in the most secure position possible. Surprisingly, when we got the total I was expecting to pay more. It was very affordable considering all the time, effort

I approached Anthony with a special security need. Money and other valuables were stolen from my vehicle on more than one occasion. I needed to find a way to secure my valuables with a reasonable assurance that they would still be there when I returned to my vehicle. Anthony advised me to install a safe into the interior of my console There was no safe manufactured in the right size and with a heavy thickness of steel. This required that the safe be custom made in thick steel to the measurements of the interior of the console. My needs also required a high security lock to be installed in the
