    Called and scheduled a quote to replace all the door closers on the exterior doors to our condo building and install astragals to help deter crowbar opportunists.  John came out within 72 hours and gave us our best and most helpful (he explained everything extremely well) quote by far - we also had three other reputable lock companies do quotes for us.  I called back to schedule the work and Tom was here four days later.  He was timely, friendly, and went above and beyond pointing out and fixing other door issues he found along the way.  We will definitely be using them for all of our door and lock issues in the future.

    I just purchased a home in the northwest suburbs and used Anderson Lock Co to change out the locks. Since I was moving from the city, I wanted to get some high security locks. They hooked me up with exactly what I wanted, installed the locks (even drilling doors to install deadbolts where none had been before) and did it all in less time than they originally quoted me.

    One item was not in stock and was special ordered. Unfortunately, I had to install that myself or pay them to come out again and finish the job. I was very happy with the service and the products, but they should have included the labor for doing the complete job, not just one trip for what they had in stock at the time of my order.

    Stopped in to find hardware needed for a commercial property.  I needed an electric strike, a new lock mechanism and door switch.  The ones I had were ruined and/or stolen.  
    You take a number and wait to be helped.  The wait wasn't long.  They've got more than four associates helping people on the floor.  The associate which helped me was able to offer some alternatives to what I needed.  What could've cost me about $300 dollars per set of hardware's, turned to about $220 dollars for two sets.  Also he mentioned the locks/handles were reversible to allow for left hand/right hand.  He explained how to set it up, I had a faint look, so he did it for me, free.
    He also mentioned in the future, if needed, I could call and have them send someone out to take an estimate.  Whether just for parts or service also.  
    (Yes, it is possible to find cheaper parts at other major hardware stores.  But, you must remember, this is a high end store with quality parts)
    They can also make duplicate keys for what looks like ANY key ever made.  I asked about making a duplicate of a Master pad lock key, they said they could do it.  Its expensive for duplicates, $3.10 each, any key style.
    They have a clearance area that is easy to see.

    I accidentaly locked my key in my running car once and this company saved my day. They arrived within a half hour and had my car opened and my keys out.  I was very impressed with their speedy service and their quick work. Now I even keep their number on speed dial for future emergencies ;) .
