Lee truly is committed to helping his community and ensuring the customer is set up for success. He replaced the lock on our safe quickly and professionally and when I had issues, because I did not pay attention, he came right over to trouble shoot and assist. His kindness and commitment to customer service was exceptionally appreciated and very rare in this day and age. I will only call Knight Safe and Lock for our future needs.

I couldn't have had a better experience! Lee Mentzos was my locksmith and he was amazing! Very punctual! Lee knew my situation and recommended a deadbolt for my front and back doors, which I did not have. He also re-keyed my current locks. Lee worked fast, did great installation, and cleaned up after himself. I feel so much more secure in my apartment. I have never used a locksmith before, but after this experience, I will always refer back to him with any and all of myl lock needs!

We called Knight Safe & Lock to see if they could help us with a sticky door lock issue we had been experiencing. Not only was I impressed with how quickly they were able to come out to our home but also with the level of professionalism and efficiency in fixing our problem. In addition to the great job Lee Mentzos did with our front door, he was also kind enough to give us some recommendations for programming automobile keys; as we are in need of another spare. We highly recommend Lee and the services of Knight Safe & Lock!

Another great local Gig Harbor business.

Lee arrived a couple minutes early, was professional;, courteous, and observed the appropriate Covid protocols. I called him just to re-key the locks in my home, but I asked about the quality of what was here (really old locksets, high wear on the mechanisms, etc.) so I opted for high-security locks, replaced the knobs with levers, and went from the (tired) bronze to brushed nickel. Lee took his time to get the locks all working smoothly, and fixed the strike plates on at least two of the doors, and added a deadbolt on the door to the garage. I highly recommend his work.

My wife and I were visiting the area in our motor home when our deadbolt failed. I searched the internet and determined that my deadbolt was no longer manufactured and was an RV specialty item. I called another local locksmith and sent photos and they told me I would have to have my RV door drilled out to accept a new residential deadbolt. Not wanting to drill into my RV, I sought a second opinion with Knight Safe & Lock.

The Knight Safe & Lock Locksmith arrived right on time and immediately recognized the old internal mechanisms as a clone of a brand name lock. He was able to quickly build a new key core for me from scratch--using a core from the new lock that still fit into my existing OEM RV internal deadbolt which still functioned normally. It was an engineering feat and yet it took him only about 3 minutes.

This locksmith is legit and is a true expert craftsman. And the price was extremely reasonable too--less than half what the other locksmith quoted me. I highly recommend Knight Safe & Lock.

We had our house burglarized and they also stole the house keys. We were not aware that some deadbolts are not as strong as others. They kicked our back door in splitting the wood out. Thankfully we called Lee and he told us about the different types of deadbolts that were available, and arranged for our locks to be changed out with stronger locks, which was done within hours.

It was so reassuring that we could rely on a fast cost efficient service. It helped us sleep better that night. These new locks are much heavier than the locks we had from the hardware store. Lee educated us on the differences and he had many options to choose from right in his truck. We feel much safer now knowing that our doors are much more secure. Thank you for all your help it was much appreciated. Highly recommended!
