Very well. Marianne was right on time and did a careful, thorough job. We had one lock that was sticking because of problems with the door frame, and she took extra time with it. She obviously takes pride in the quality of her work. We have four in-your-face "helpful" dogs, and she was wonderful relating with them, which meant a lot to us.

I had a terrific experience with Odom Locksmiths. I recently bought a house and wanted all the locks changed. They accommodated my schedule and did a quality job very quickly. I appreciate that they understood my need for good security and did a fabulous job. I'd give six stars if I could

What a great experience. I needed my replacement key fob programmed. Acura quoted me a price of $165 with an hour to do the programming. Odom did it in 15 minutes at a cost of $63. They are now my list of great service providers.

Top notch service. The locksmith was here within an hour and was the nicest guy I've met in a long time. He was professional, knowledgable, and efficient and he solved my issue right away. He explained what had gone wrong and made good suggestions as to how to prevent it in the future.

The lock on my front door broke leaving me unable to secure my house. I'd also been putting off installing a dead bolt as well. I didn't know which company to call, so I tried a list of several locksmiths I found on the internet, but no one was willing to come the same day. Gene at Odom took my call first thing the next morning and promised and delivered getting one of his techs to my house that afternoon so I wouldn't be left again with an unlocked door overnight.

The techs were very professional in their installation and completely cleaned up the wood shavings and associated mess with having to drill and cut into my door. And the price ended up being a few dollars less than the estimate quoted on the phone when I first called. I will definitely be using A.L. Odom for all my lock and security needs in the future. Thank you for such excellent and professional service!

The manager at A.L. Odom managed to squeeze me in on the same day I phoned so I didn't have to leave my house unsecured with a broken lock for another night. The techs very courteously phoned to say they were on the way. They worked very efficiently and did a great job on the install as well as cleaning up the mess from the wood door cutting and drilling.

They also didn't try to sell me more than I needed. The final cost even came in a few dollars under the estimate. Very professional and courteous company. I will use them again!

After two other companies were unable to move my safe because of its weight, Gene picked it up and moved it 200 miles with ease. They were there on time and got the job done properly. A very pleasant experience.

Having had many experiences doing business with Gene and Diane Riddle and the folks at A.L. Odom Locksmiths, I can say, without reservation, that they are absolute professionals and totally devoted to serving their customers. They are honorable and fair in every aspect of their business. You need not worry about their work being done properly and you need not "shop around." They are simply the best, they provide service beyond compare and their services are fairly priced --- without negotiation. I cannot recommend these wonderful folks more highly. Harold Seagle

I called when I unfortunately needed all my house locks rekeyed in a time sensitive manner. They came within the hour! They were kind, understanding, and compassionate. I came by today to have more keys made too. If I have future needs, they will be my go to.

I recently purchased a large safe from A.L. Odom Locksmiths. From the first telephone call to inquire about products to final delivery it was truly an outstanding experience. Even though I live an hour from the store location, Gene and Diane came to my home to ensure they understood the placement so they could quote me an accurate delivery cost and have the necessary staff at delivery.

There was no charge for this visit. When they delivered the safe they took all the necessary time to ensure that the safe was placed where I wanted it and secured properly. There was no rush to do so throughout the process and no damage to my new home. It was amazing with a safe weighing over 1,800 pounds! Gene and his team were truly awesome and total professionals!

This was an experience that exceeded all of my expectations! I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a safe to Gene and Diane at A.L. Odom Locksmiths! Thank you all for a wonderful experience!
