I wanted to take some time to leave an unsolicited review here as I believe it's well deserved. This business is excellent! I stopped in to ask some questions and look to purchase a safe and John was so helpful to find the right one for me needs. The safe wasn't in stock but I was in no rush with an upcoming move, so he ordered it on his next shipment and it arrived very quickly! John even offered to hold the safe for me until I moved, so it would be easier for me.
When I went to pick it up, he assisted loading the safe into my car and explained exactly how to set it up and change the code. All around remarkable customer service and a business I will certainly recommend to anyone in the area!

I highly recommend Area Safe & Lock. Their technician, Darren, diagnosed my problem and made the needed repair. Other companies had not figured out the problem correctly. They came quickly. Their rates were explained by the person who answered my call and she gave me helpful information. I would use them again.

Our entry lock was messed up and they came next day. We had been having issues with our Medeco lock and he figured out the screws weren't long enough when Baldino's put our original lock in. Awesome. It's working very smoothly.
