Herb's Locksmith Service

Herb's Locksmith Service is a storefront locksmith on Broadway in Arlington, run out of the shop by Bill, who — according to a local Reddit thread — keeps regular hours in the store Tuesdays and Thursdays and answers messages promptly the rest of the week. The clearest signal here is word of mouth: one Arlington resident said police referred them to Herb's after a break-in, and another Reddit poster passed along the shop's address and phone number as a reliable local option. A brief, undated Better Business Bureau review describes a technician agreeing to handle the exterior doors first while a homeowner was leaving for work — a small but concrete example of responsiveness. The Better Business Bureau lists the business under locksmith services with an A+ letter grade, though BBB is explicit that the grade isn't based on customer reviews and the business isn't BBB-accredited; there's no published star rating or review count. Evidence here is thin, but what's there is consistently positive — including a direct police referral, which for a locksmith is a real vote of confidence. Worth a call to confirm current hours before stopping by, since the shop keeps limited posted days.
