We contracted locksmith-pros.net to come and replace our front door lock as it was becoming difficult to get a key into the lock. This lock is in the handle used to open the door. The technician who was dispatched doesn't work directly for locksmith-pros.net but some local company. He showed up, replaced the doorlock/handle and didn't bother to ask if we wanted the same style we had or a new one. My wife paid for the service ($400) and noticed after the technician left that he'd installed the wrong type of lock/door handle.

She called to explain that our door handle worked differently, you could open the door with the lock engaged and now we couldn't. She attempted to get him to understand and as things got heated, he openly yelled at her and explained that since he's a locksmith, he knows best. She wanted him to come back and fix the issue. She spoke with whomever answers the phone at locksmith-pros.net and was told that it would be the same guy coming back since he'd done the work. She vehemently said no and that someone else needed to come. She asked to speak to his supervisor, but that seemed to go nowhere. Utlimately, the tech calls back sounding sufficiently contrite. He said he'd be by on this past Friday.

He didn't show up because he forgot. She spoke with him on Friday night and scheduled for tonight (Monday). He still didn't show up.  She's now called locksmith-pros.net four times, spoken with three people, one of which we were told would be out to fix the problem, but he had no idea he was scheduled. These people are very bad at keeping appiontments, have bad customer service skills and clearly don't care.

We're now disputing the charge with the credit card company and still demanding that someone come and fix our problem. A quick Google search shows at least four hits for fraudulent behavior by this company. I regret that we used locksmith-pros.net. I would urge anyone with a lock related issue to not use this company.

My wife just had a very animated conversation with another customer service rep after being placed on hold four times. Customer service means nothing to locksmith-pros.net, nothing at all. The rep that my wife spoke with was rude and dismissive. She also stated that it was up to my wife to tell the tech that we wanted the same doorknob/lock as we had before. We don't agree with that statement. I believe that the tech should've asked. Its common sense and good customer service to make sure you understand what your customers want. We are now disputing what were charged with our credit card company.

Third Night Locksmith-pros.net has stood us up

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, August 01, 2017

Again, tonight, Tuesday August 1st, we were stood up by the technician coming to fix the doorknob/lock. My wife has now spent a total of three hours on hold and attempting to get someone to hold the technician accountable and get our work taken care of. At least two of the people answering the phone have been incredibly rude, not to mention the tech yelled at my wife again today. She's on the phone now attempting to get some satisfaction. Locksmith-pros has the absolute worst customer service I have had the misfortune to experience. We will be disupting this charge needless to say.

Forgot to mention, we should've been charged less than we were. We paid $400 for the lock change and it should've been less than $100.
