Assurance Lock and Key is a fantastic company. I am the property manager at Buffalo Mountain Camp in Jonesborough, TN, and I have had the pleasure of working with Gary on several occasions.
Due to financial challenges that we are facing at our camp, resulting from a catastrophic flood, Gary has insisted on declining payment for his service. He has come out at least 4 times to assist us with locks on our facilities and property. Each time he provided us with the same professional courtesy and quality work that he would a paying client.
In the interactions that I have had with him he has always arrived as he said he would, exhibited courtesy and professionalism beyond most locksmiths I have encountered, afforded us expert advice, and even researched a way to solve a problem that we have with factory locks purchased at Lowe's.
With regard to our factory lock issue, Gary could have simply said "I can't do it" and let that be the end. However, I believe that his principles do not leave that as an option, and he found a way to solve our problem. We are certainly grateful for that.
In short, Gary has given of his time and expertise to help us in a challenging situation. I would recommend Gary and Assurance Lock and Key to anyone, and would gladly have paid for his service if he would have accepted the payment (we tried to insist). If you are looking for a quality locksmith, look no further than Gary Starnes and Assurance Lock and Key. You won't be disappointed.
