We invite everyone to visit www.locksmiths-st-louis.com

We would appreciate your feedback and any suggestions for improvement.

UPDATE: As can be expected, the site is being rebuilt constantly, so it keeps going down. We expect to have this rectified very soon.

Digital Peephole

If you enjoy your privacy and like to keep unexpected guests at bay, then a new security device from Brinno might be just what you need. Simply press a button and the Digital Peephole Viewer gives you a clear, wide view of your visitor via an LCD screen. Another press and you can zoom in for a closer peek. It gets better though – unlike regular peepholes, this one doesn’t darken whilst viewing – so your visitor will never know you can see them.

The Peephole Viewer compensates for low lighting and “fisheye” distortion, and is suitable for people of all heights. It is also ideal for people with failing eyesight as it affords a clear, wide view and a zoom-in function. Repeatedly pressing the button will allow you to switch easily between regular and zoom modes. Each press of the button will reset the timer for ten seconds.

Powered by two AA batteries - that’s about 1500 peeps - the Peephole Viewer automatically turns off after ten seconds to conserve battery life. The red low battery light will flash to alert you to change batteries. The viewer is fitted with a 1.3 MP CMOS sensor and the optical lens has a view angle of 54 degrees.


Currently only available in Australia for about $160.00 (US$140.00)

Bilock Deadbolts - Sale Ends

Announcement



Our September sale on Brass Bilock single cylinder deadbolts, ends today.

We managed to sell virtually all our inventory of the Bilock single cylinder deadbolts in brass, thanks to the many discerning bargain hunting shoppers.

We anticipate a new special in coming months. Stay Tuned.

Paradigm 005 Deadbolt by Lockwood




Last year we talked about the Lockwood 005 Paradigm Deadbolt as a new entrant to the home security market.

The above video shows how well this product is designed and how easy it is to install. It is also one of the few products available anywhere in the world, that provides double cylinder (key lockable inside and outside) protection while providing building and fire code compliance.

Many home owners have beautiful front main entry doors, that are the first thing their guests see when visiting. Many home owners pride themselves on the appearance of their front door and the lock hardware products market is one of the busiest and most competitive industries.

But until now, due to building codes and fire protection laws, primary entrance doors are not allowed to incorporate double cylinder locks. This has been a rather contentious issue across the world, because people have been unable to install adequate security products while adhering to building and fire codes.

It will be interesting to see if the USA market learns from the example of Lockwood Australia and product manufacturers here modify their product range to include these new superior design and function deadbolts.

Service Magic - Prescreened Professionals


I have been a member of the Service Magic contractor network for a little over 2 years now and am reasonably happy with the quantity of work they send me.

The benefits that Service Magic provide are multiple. They screen the customers and the contractors. They utilize premium online advertising opportunities. They provide company profiles and especially testimonials.

I am lucky to have about 60 testimonials on the site with an average rating of 4.8 (out of 5). The testimonials are all genuine, because only the client can fill in the testimonial form.

To aspiring contractor professionals, seeking additional sources of qualified leads, look no further than the industry leader, Service Magic.

ServiceMagic is reaching millions of homeowners with their national ad campaign

Earl M (Pacific, MO) October 2009

Earl required new keys made to his trailer hitch lock.





I bought the Cowdroy P697 from Danny. I received it last Wednesday (9/16/09) and installed it today (9/21/09). The lock is very nice. Installation took me one hour, with no real surprises, and I took the time to install the lock flush with the door. I would consider myself a mid-level handyman.
If you are considering buying this lock I highly recommend it.
Shawn H (Brookings, SD)

"Danny arrived right on time, was friendly, knowledgable and was able to repair my door w/ the existing hardware which ended up saving me money. He clearly is in business to do what is in the best interest of the customer. It was a great pleasure doing business w/ him and I will highly recommend him to anyone in need of door repair or locksmith service. We were extremely happy with his work. "

Sandy C
September, 2009 (O'Fallon, MO)

Confirmed appointment time via email and arrived within the confirmed time. Quite knowledgeable of lock systems. In addition to satisfactorily completing the job requested, he had very good tips about keys, locking mechanisms and home security

Gary A (Maryland Heights, MO) August, 2009


Daniel Gurvis was most helpful. I would definitely hire him to do the service if I should ever need a new lock or a replacement of door knobs.
Gertrude M (Maryland Heights, MO) July 2009

He came quickly and repaired our door at a very fair price. I recommend Master Key and will use him in the future.

Steven C. St Louis, MO July 2009


Very knowledgable. On time. Friendly, professional. Reasonable rates.

Ann S ( Ballwin, MO ) July 2009



I would HIGHLY recommend Master Key Systems, LLC. Danny was prompt, professional, and his level of expertise and professionalism were incredible. We needed a new lock for our office door. Originally we were thinking we wanted a keypad lock. Danny could have provided this for $1200+, but instead he explained our options in detail and we ended up going with a more secure (Bilock) system for 1/4 the price. Danny has earned a customer for life, and we'll be recommending him to anyone in need of locksmith services. A+++++ EXCELLENT service!!!

(Wes C Ballwin, MO)

I was most happy with the service (thats hard to do with me). He was prompt, described the job, and he was very nice. He did the job first time correct and most of all and I paid a fair price. What more can I say?

(Sean L Saint Louis, MO)

(Rocky S Florrissant, MO)


"Mr. Gurvis was extremely accommodating and delivered excellent service as promised. We are very satisfied with his workmanship and would recommend him to anyone needing re-keying for their new home."

(Wayne N. Florissant, MO)



"We closed on our new home on New Year's Eve. Since we were leaving town on Jan. 2, Master Key Systems agreed to rekey our locks on New Year's Day! At the end of the service, we spent less than anticipated because the gentleman was kind enough to explain why we didn't need to rekey a couple of locks. Highly recommended."

(Andrea T., Florissant MO)


"It was excellent !! Prompt, courteous,and professional.Analyzed the problem and fixed it. Thank- you"

(Timothy H. Ballwin, MO)


"With all the companies that I have talked to today to get my car door open, none were as friendly as Daniel was. He called back WHILE I WAS STILL ON THE SITE LOOKING HIM UP!!! Incredible service and one of the friendliest people I have met. Other companies wanted to charge triple what he charged and were just plain rude over the phone. I cant say enough how satisfied I am with Danny. Thank you."

(Martin K. St Charles, MO)




"Danny was considerate with my time by contacting me via cell phone on definitive time frame for his arrival. I liked his honesty with options and guidance to minimize expenses as homeowner even though it would mean less service revenue to Danny. He will be my first point of contact for other projects in near future due to this experience."

(Kevin R. Ballwin, MO)




"Great Job! Got to us right on time and very reasonably priced. We will definitely call anytime that we need a locksmith."

(Lisa H, O'Fallon MO)



"The same day as I contacted ServiceMagic.com, Danny came out to our house to give an estimate, and was able to partially fix one of the doors. Our entire problem was fixed CORRECTLY in a quick, professional manner. I would recommend Master Key Systems to anyone who has a door issue."

(Ashley C., Chesterfield MO)



"Many Thanks

Master Key Systems saved me. I was broken into and they smashed the door frame. Danny attended, installed a Strikemaster II in a half hour, totally repairing the door frame without the need to replace the whole thing. I am very happy to have found him. You will not be disappointed when you require quality and value for money."

(Anon. St Louis, MO)


"Did a great job quickly. Thanks. "
(Keisza T, St Ann, MO)

Keisza requested a Strikemaster II installed to repair a broken door frame

Awesome service, Great prices, Professional job, through and through.

Ask for Danny, He's a great guy to deal with. He's worth double what I paid.

(Behrman Town & Country, MO)


without a doubt, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I cannot say enough good things about Daniel, he was friendly, professional and honest. The job was done in a little over and hour and works and looks great. Thank you, we will definatley use you again in the future and recommend you to all of our friends and colleagues."

(Derek D Ballwin, MO)

Derek required his sliding door repaired with new rollers


Danny, thanks again…

“Packing for vacation,we needed to swap our bike rack for our cargo carrier when we discovered that we’d lost the keys to the hitch lock. Danny answered on the first ring, showed up within minutes and completed the job with just a little bit of kit and less than a half-hour’s work. He’s been gone for over an hour and I’m still waiting for his competition to return my calls! Danny gives absolutely exceptional service at the speed of light. Thank you!!”

Tim T (Maryland Heights, MO)


"Danny was prompt, pleasant and
very professional. The work was done
in within the time-frame and cost
that he had given me prior to coming out.
I would definitely use him again."

Ola O (Creve Coeur, MO)


"WOW, talk about fast response!
He showed up early to the appointment,
worked fast and efficiently, and saved
me over a hundred dollars which he could
just have easily charged me and I
wouldn't have known any better.
He is extremely knowledgeable,
and he didn't try to take advantage of me
being a single woman who knows
nothing about locksmithing.
I felt he was very honest to deal with.
I would recommend his expertise
and work to anyone. Top shelf
and A+++ all the way."

Tamara K (Lafayette Square)


"He was very helpful. He knew what
needed to be done and did it very
quick, didn't waist any time."

Pat D (
St Louis, MO)

Pat required her front arched door repaired
due to water damage, as it would not open.

"Danny was very informative and
helpful. If I ever need help or any
one I know, he would be the first
person I would call or refer to
others. Danny should receive an
award for his great work. He was
at the job before the appointment.
That shows commitment and service.
I am an entrepreneur, and I will
tell other entrepreneurs about
Master Keys and their great customer
service. Other customer service
businesses need to be more helpful,
friendly and informative as
Master Key Systems America."

Rosanna R (St Louis)

"The work was done timely and at
a lower cost than the estimate.
Danny is a very pleasant chap
and explains what he is going to do.
Can't believe our door works so
well. Getting an arched door to fit
is not such an easy task.
We thoroughly recommend him."

Barb R (St Louis, MO)

Adjusted door by checking top hinge and
splinting bottom hinge and adjusting strike plates to account for weathering.
