About Rivercity Locksmiths and Security
This team runs both locksmith services and security system installations from their Oxley base, with technicians like Baden, Joshua, Matt, and Eugene each building their own followings for different specialties. Baden handles smart lock installations and security systems, often going above and beyond like staying late to walk customers through setup over the phone. Joshua and Matt focus on traditional locksmithing - lock repairs, key cutting, and emergency lockouts - with customers specifically requesting them for return visits. They handle everything from vintage hand-cut keys to modern car remotes, though they're upfront about limitations and will refer work they can't do. Their approach combines old-school customer service (carrying purchases to cars for disabled customers, fixing unrelated door knobs for free) with modern efficiency, often providing same-day service and clear communication about arrival times.
