Subject: locksmith rec's (one for, one against)


Against: Three Rivers locksmiths

I used Three Rivers last March because they were the only ones who
could come to my house that day.  They were slow, late, mildly
unfriendly, and didn't seem to know what they were doing -- it took
almost two hours for them to re-key one of my deadbolts.  They install
overpriced junky deadbolts, one of which broke within a month.  They
repaired it for free that time, but it broke again before a year was
up.  They only warrantee their locks & service for 1 month.


For:     Ace Lock
         363-3328 
         5694 Baum Boulevard 
         Pgh, PA 15206 

I used them this morning.  They were on time, quick, reasonably
priced, knowledgeable, and polite.  One year warrantee on locks and
service.  They install much better deadbolts at the same price as
Three Rivers.
