I really would like to give 0 stars… My complaint starts on Sunday, August 5, 2012. I had a cleaning lady come and she felt the need to steal an extra house key that I had. I called around for a locksmith in Brooklyn and was unable to come out the same day. I found 24⁄7 Locksmith via Google, did some due diligence and thought I was all set. They sent a technician to my home, he arrived 10 minutes early and was prepared… or so I thought. My landlord installed the locks and would typically take care of this but she was away. I was advised by my landlord to get the locks rekeyed and not changed. I called around and was quoted under 100 dollars to rekey my front door locks. When I initially spoke to 24⁄7 Mobile Locksmith I was told rekeying was the best and cheaper option(they even have it on the site). The technician arrives and tells me that my locks«don’t have a cylinder and can not be rekeyed». WRONG… So I asked if he was absolutely certain that was correct(and being a locksmith I trusted his judgement). He advised me that I had to change the locks, I asked again«AREYOUCERTAIN?» as my landlord(again who installed the locks) advised me of something different. He told me yes that the locks needed to be changed and I went ahead with the service. Total Bill came out to $ 247.15, seemed a bit high… I then decided to call a REPUTABLE locksmith and they advised me that it was EXTREMELYHIGH, and that the rekeying should have been done(pending there was no damage to make it impossible) I called and voiced my initial concern the day of the service and spoke to someone they said they would reach out to the office manager and/or technician to see what the issue was. Ten minutes later the technician called me back to ask why I complained. He advised me that he did the best he can do(at which point He also advised me that he DIDNOTKNOWHOWTOREKEYTHELOCKSANDTHATISWHYITWASNTDONE) and that he has three kids and a wife so he doesn’t want any problems. I then called the company back to tell them not to have the technician call me back about his issues at home because that made me uncomfortable. I just wanted to get answers. I was told that the complaints supervisor would get back to me by Wednesday(8÷8÷12), I heard nothing. I called back and said someone would get back to me by Friday(8÷10÷12), again I heard nothing…(not even a courtesy call saying it was being looked into and more time was needed) Last Saturday I called and spoke to SARAH(since thats the only question she could answer), who advised me that there was NOT A SINGLEPERSON I COULDSPEAKTOBESIDESADAM(the complaint supervisor). I asked for a manager and apparently that’s ADAM as well. I asked for the company owner’s email address/phone number. and that sent her over the edge. She then began yelling(her frustration as she called it) saying that she doesn’t have the owners personal cell and email.(which I didn’t ask for) I asked for his business contact information… I was also advised the company owner didn’t want to talk to customers(WTF??) Still unresolved, luckily I paid with American Express and they are taking it from here. I would not recommend ANYONE use their services because they don’t care about customers and apparently are so backed up with complaints that they aren’t able to respond to you in a reasonable time.
