We moved to Encinitas last month and the moving company did a great job with our beautiful antique furniture except for 1 mishap.
They lost the key to the china cabinet and it was locked.
The moving company sent out 3 different locksmiths who all said that they could help us out with a new key.
What a waste of time they all turned out to be. I even took time off from work to deal with all of this.
The moving company said they did all they could do and asked if we could find our own locksmith and if successful, ask if they could bill the moving company.
I called around and one locksmith told me that A1 Lock specialises in antique locks and keys, so we called them.
Mark came out quickly with a huge set of antique keys and actually found a 100 year old key that worked perfectly.
It looks exactly like our old key that got lost. He was happy to send his bill to the movers so I did not have to bother with getting reimbursed.
If you are in the Encinitas area, do yourself a favour and just call A1 the first time and save yourself so much time and aggravation.
And yes, they do modern locks too. Mark is coming back to change the house locks when we are ready for that.
