K	Krish Nayar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had to change a lock to the garage which was stuck and would not open. Steve said he would come in 90 min time and turned up 10 min early. Changed the lock with no fuss. Prompt, courteous service. Very reasonable charges too!
A	Amy Johnston on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Phoned Steve up in the morning and he visited us later that day! Incredible service, fast, efficient and well priced. Glad I called, thanks for sorting our locks out!
C	Camjet Jet Boat Tours NZ on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very friendly service from Steve. My Automotive lock and barrel was recoded to the old key overnight and delivered the next morning by 830 am. Very impressive. Thank you Steve.
D	D R TradeMe Account on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Avoid at all costs! I strongly recommend you do not use this man's company "Hamilton Locksmiths" or "Eastern Hammer Hardware" and call around to other locksmiths to find one who is honest and ethical, unlike this man. I called Steve and told him I locked keys in my bedroom. He asked me about the door lock - how much I paid for it and where. His store is 4km from my home. Steve turned up with a piece of plastic and slid it in to open it. He said "with cheap handles, they open easily. He then charged me $120!! I said to him "why didn't you suggest I try this myself when I called you?" This man proceeded to stand in my home and become aggressive when I questioned this, but he refused to answer my question. He said he had to charge me for his gas used, yes all 4km. A good honest person would be forthcoming and explain to me what I could try in order to open it. He knew exactly what he was doing. I would hate for someone else to encounter the same experience I had with Steve. He presented as very aggressive, entitled attitude and who takes advantage of vulnerable people! Disgraceful!
S	Susan Woodcock on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pleased that our job was done at short notice but I think we got Steve on a bad day as not very customer friendly. He needs a belt on his jeans as when he bent over is was not a nice sight.
C	Catherine Cusack on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of our door locks busted late at night. He arrived quickly, and got it sorted, all for a very fair call out fee which he quoted up front. Thank you for the great service ?
A	Angela P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Steve was great to deal with, and I'd recommend him to anyone needing a locksmith. He got to our lifestyle property within ten minutes of phoning him on a Sunday, and managed to get our locked door open within a few minutes. Unfortunately the keys we thought we'd locked in there weren't in there after all, and so he came back a couple of hours later, again within ten minutes of calling him, to cut a new key for us. He gave us a discount on the second call out because he was already in the area which we really appreciated. Also I really disagree with some of the low star reviews to do with fees. I actually feel really sorry for locksmiths and how they are treated by some people!!!!!! The fee for after hours is completely reasonable, especially when he gets there so fast. At least half this fee will be going to tax, GST and operational costs, it is not a lot of cash in the hand for taking up to an hour out of his time in travel on top of that - especially in weekends or middle of the night!!! One idiot has bagged him for not giving free advice over the phone, when it turned out a simple fix. Seriously!?!?! You're paying for a service, and for someone to use their expertise to solve a problem. If you want free advice ask Google. I personally think its disgusting that people would not only expect free advice from a professional, but then give one star reviews. I am so glad I got Steve yesterday, and so glad I ignored these pathetic reviews.
M	Monica Blakeway on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It took me almost 4 hours to find a locksmith that would be able to come and unlock my car. I called Hamilton Locksmith and Steve said he'd be there in half an hour, 25 minutes later Steve was here. It was as if it was still early in the evening as he was very lovely and made friendly banter, 2 minutes later the job was done. Definitely recommend Hamilton Locksmith if anything happens! Thank you so much Steve ☺️
