Kaley Peacock on Des Moines Lock Service

Super nice guy, came out to switch our locks on our new home. Fixed our garage door alignment so it would lock properly. Very fast! He was extremely knowledgeable about the mortise lock on our 102yr old door, even took the time to teach me how to make any repairs and which screws to get. Swapped the cylinder out with one in better condition that was still old to match the door, even gave me a cool key for it. Quick, professional, skilled and knowledgeable. Cannot recommend him enough.

I highly recommend Des Moines Lock Service. They’re one of the last shops if not the last shop in town that works on old mortise locks. We had an issue with our old lock, brought it in and within a few minutes they had the part fixed and cleaned and buffed up the internal pieces to remove rust! Not only is it working again but now it’s working better than before! We’re so happy to have it fixed and to restore our original door! Thank you! Great customer service, reasonable, and reliable craftsmanship.

Zach was honest, communicative, and fast. He was so kind and friendly. He founds a simpler cheaper solution to our door than I originally thought. I will never call another locksmith again.

GREAT service and reasonable cost.

Our front door is 80 years old and the key broke off inside the lock. and it was in terrible shape but after 17 years of not being able to use the front door we were finally were able to get the Broken key out of the lock. This broken key is the only key we had. we came into the locksmith and the lady was very friendly and helpful and positive that she would be able to help us. I really thought there was little chance that this was going to be easy or fast or reasonably priced. She was fantastic! I've gone to other locksmiths for much simpler things and they didn't seem interested in helping. Not only did she dig around until she finally found the right blank for our door but it worked flawlessly. We only had one key made and then we came back after we tested it and it worked to get the three more made. I can't say thank you enough for the help that she gave us. I wish all businesses were that friendly and we left there paying about $3 per key and I was absolutely shocked that there are still places where people care about service.

This is going to be the only locksmith I use moving forward. absolutely fantastic. It is great to find a place that gives fantastic service.
