Federal Lock & Safe re-keyed our front door not too long ago. They also cut us 6 keys. The total came to $260.00 for the labor, replacing the lock core and cutting of 6 keys. They did not charge us for the visit to access the work to be completed. We appreciate Shawn, Mark, Shamar, Sal and another friendly lady who took our calls. We recommend Federal Lock & Safe to all those who need repair or replacement of their locks.
Brian Cameron and his team gets 15 STARS! They are incredibly professional, courteous, and excellent communication! I had a high security safe I needed to get open and Brian worked with me back and forth and even contacted the manufacturer and got what was needed until I was able to open the safe. Not many companies or employees, like Brian will go that extra mile to do what was needed to help a random customer that calls in for help. Brian is such an asset to your company, you need to do whatever it takes to keep him and give him kudos because he deserves it! I would highly recommend if you need locksmiths and/or security services, you contact Federal Lock & Safe, Inc. in Arlington, Virginia. Thanks so much for the help!
I went to their business not expecting to find the lock part for a 70 year old mortise lock that I needed, and the guy (maybe the manager or owner) who met me at the door, took the part and said, “give me a minute.” After a few minutes he returned with a small plastic bag with the exact same part and said you’re in luck today. When I asked him what I owed him, he responded, why don’t you bring some donuts by for my staff one day. I grew up in a small town in NC and people did this sort of thing routinely but this is a rare human behavior here in the big city. I graciously thanked him and installed the part later that day. This morning I decided to return the favor and I delivered a couple of dozen donuts to his office. This is how decent people behave on occasion to restore our faith in mankind. It’s not always about the money. Thank you You’re an Officer and a Gentleman, as the military expression goes.
We have used Federal Lock & Safe on several occasions for repairs. Particularly to our entry doors, and fire safety doors. The staff there are quick to respond, their quotes are competitive to other companies, and they are overall a wonderful company to work with. I would recommend them to other managers in the association management profession. 10 out of 10!
Mike, Brian, Dina and team are simply outstanding! They added a motion activated door with keypad lock at our office. The quote was fast, affordable and precise. On install day the crew went above and beyond to be clean, showed us how to operate the new door and were super friendly. I couldn't recommend Fedlock more, they rock!
