First time here. Was referred by Home Depot. Will be back! Diane was amazing and so helpful in helping me get a key for my vehicle. Within a day I had a new key that fit perfectly. Very happy! If you need any security services go here! Excellent!

An absolutely fantastic company. A main door lock broke at my place of work and they made sure to get to me today and communicate with me during the day. They came out and did a wonderful, very pleasant and professional job getting me in shape to lock the place up before closing. 10 out of 10 I would definitely recommend!

A little bit difficult to find, but they know that and they give you amazing directions if you call. They go above and beyond to help their customers even if they don't have a guaranteed sale yet.

I'd like to take a moment to let everyone know about my experience with Southington Security. I've used them several times to re-key a lock the we had lost the original key for, and to make a single key for all locks in our house. I'm always met with professionalism and politeness by everyone who has waited on me. The prices are fair and the quality of work is great. Everything works perfectly. I'm very happy with everything that they did, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We are a small business and had a problem with locking the door on a Saturday. They were at our office within an hour and fixed the problem! Will use them for all our security needs. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

I'm a repeat customer of Southington Security and when we had a move-out situation at our home I called to have the locks changed. I spoke with Dianne, who was very reassuring about our security concerns and set up an appointment for the very next day. Tom called first thing the next morning and arrived promptly, explained everything he needed to do, finished the work quickly and presented me with the keys I ordered. Tom was gracious and knowledgeable and did a great job.

My family and I can have peace of mind now, knowing our home is secure. I highly recommend Southington Security Services and wouldn't call anyone else for locksmith services. Thank you Dianne, Tom and Gil for excellent service!

I had the locks re-keyed on a home I recently closed on. Gil answered the phone when I called in and took the time to go over all of my options and answer my questions. The technician who came out was super friendly and knowledgeable and remembered to call and let me know his ETA. Would definitely recommend.

First off, I have to mention how impressed I was by Gil. I have a safe that was passed down to me & I struggled opening it with the combination. I was worried the locking mechanism was jammed. Gil returned my call & walked me through some steps over the phone. To my surprise, the safe opened. Gil gave me clear instructions on how this particular safe worked.

He gave me further instructions on what to do & look out for in the future. I couldn't be happier with experience with Gil & Southington Security. I would highly recommend this company for any of your locksmith needs!

I called the day before we closed on our new house to see if someone could come out and change the locks. Gil was not only able to come out he allowed my son, who mechanically inclined, to help him. Gil also made several recommendations for our house and welcomed us to town. Wonderful company!

Ordered 2 Brown safes, had them shipped here for install per Brown as a suggested installer. Described at great length the scope of work with the owner. He knew how many stair steps, the dimensions of the landing, and the weight of the safe. I signed the damage waiver, resting assured that I was in good hands and for $1500 for an installation I should be.

The owner told me they would disassemble the safe, removing the door to reduce the weight and strain on my brand new cherry staircase. The installers arrived, bikers with tattoos, smoking cigarettes outside my house and leaving butts all over the place. They got the safe into my foyer up the cement front steps and when I asked if they were going to remove the door as I was told, they said they didn't have the correct equipment.

Next thing I knew the door was off, chipping the paint off my $3000 safe and denting the door and floor as well as bending the corner of the door over. They proceeded up the stairs creaking groneing and slipping with their moterized stair creeper luckily not ripping the nosing off the steps. Scuffing all the paint off my freshly painted walls leaving sweaty stains on the walls.

They proceeded to place the safe and bolt it down in place using only 3 out of 4 bolts and not tightening them down so the safe rocks when you open the nearly 600lb door. They also dented my wood floors in my closet where it was installed by rocking the door up on the now folded over corner to maneuver it into place. Once I saw the damage to the safe, I asked if they wanted to remove it now or later?

They exited my home without any instruction and leaving the bolts In the "locked" position which I accidentally closed while taking pictures of the damage, further damaging the safe. I assumed they went outside to call their boss and put me in contact with him. Instead they just left. Abandoning me with a new damaged 1800lb safe on my second floor of my home.

The safe manufacturer sent paint to try and repair the damage on the safe, I mistakenly let them back in my home to try and correct the damage they did, boasting they also refurbish safes and we won't ever notice the damage. They proceeded to blob paint and filler on the damage making it more noticeable! I could have done better with a rattle can.

They will probably comment on this saying I took months to pay them for their botched work, and that they did me a favor by reducing my fees, and storing my second safe which I didn't dare have them install! Run don't walk away from this place! I hope Brown safe doesn't refer them anymore work.
