Great service except.. they need to change their closing time in Google to actually match reality of closing at 16:30 not 17:00. ??

Big box store tried twice, but key would only work on the regular lock, not deadbolt. Key Hole identified issue quickly and cut new key for about half the price!!!

Fast, friendly service!

Alex Figol on The Key Hole

I needed a new house re-keyed, my agent recommended Russ from the Key Hole. Russ saved me time and money, since I didn't have to waste hours replacing all the deadbolts myself. He re-keyed all the locks quick with no issues. The old keys would stick, and you really had to fight to unlock the door. The new keys work perfectly. Russ is a pro and fantastic to work with. I would absolutely recommend. Thanks for the great job!!
