Because my project involved a custom door replacement that required condo association approval, custom ordering, painting, lock placement, and installation, there were several phases involved. Throughout it all, the team remained professional, responsive, organized, and attentive to detail. Walter, the locksmith technician who handled the project from beginning to end, did an outstanding job. His workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stood out, and the finished result exceeded my expectations. Chicago Locksmith is lucky to have someone such as Walter that is extremely skilled, professional and pleasant to deal with. I also want to recognize the Chicago Locksmith office staff for their excellent customer service and communication throughout the process. Everyone was courteous, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. Overall, I highly recommend Chicago Locksmith for their professionalism, quality work, and outstanding service.

I sent out a free estimate request via Yelp and received far too many responses…read more My primary, evidently probable Yelp Elite and Yelp All-Star review are based on Yelp and my communication with the owner Shay. Perhaps he is of Irish heritage, I never had the opportunity to find out 1) I have seen over 300 photographs of his work This man is the very BEST if you are only looking for a handyman or have no assistance from even an essentially useless husband in the paint or a long hair clogged shower drain 2) Shay is a LIAR I appreciate that he was willing to drive out to The suburbs of Chicago from all the way East in Logan Square His estimate is NOT free as Yelp guaranteed He requires photographs (easy peasy) of the locks as well as *$45* to even come out to take a look He broke the Yelp Guarantee right there Chicago Locksmiths should be banned from Yelp same as nobody should have voted for Trump. There were zero good choices but at least ond was NOT a babbling dementia suffering 90 yeat old 3) Shay claims the his primary concern is home and auto safety If that were actually true then with photos in hand he has zero reason to have a $45 fee to take a look I have zero reason to take issue with Shay - especially his quality of work All that I know is that Shay LIED to Yelp in order to gain business and if that works for him, then I do not give a fxck I shall not be used I have Elite and All-Star status that I EARNED with Yelp and followers Every single one of my Yelp reviews are shared with Google I sincerely hope that my review discourages anybody and everybody from hiring Chicago Locksmiths

10/10; would highly recommend!…read more I hired the Danny Keys team when I moved into a new house and needed locks changed. Initial contact: They were extremely responsive when I reached out and I loved being able to schedule online (and there was a solid amount of availability. At the appointment: When it came time for the appointment, the technician (who was on time and fully communicative) went above and beyond in the best way. Not only did the technician answer my 100 questions and concerns about smart locks, but he also advised me my options with different locks throughout the property to balance safety and cost. I thought they would only replace the locks but they also were able to replace the doornobs, offering several appealing options in the style I wanted. They had a variety of options for locks too - regular door locks, deadbolts, and smart lock varieties. They even cleaned off the door all around the doornob because it was dirty and looked a little gross! My biggest joy has to be that they were able to use the same locks on multiple doors so we could use one key for all the doors, which is a lifesaver because I was startingbri appear as a janitor with so many keys, lol. After it was all done, they made me a bunch of copies of the key, which was helpful and honestly unexpected because I thought I'd have to go to Lowes after to do that myself given the million and one copies we needed for various family members. Vibes: it was such a seamless experience with an incredibly friendly, helpful, technician who treated my house with respect (eg no outside shoes inside) and was patient with my questions/concerns. Cost: Pricing was all competitive with other companies I considered. Overall: An excellent experience; I'll only be using Danny Keys for my future lock change needs and recommending them to my friends and neighbors!

While the deadbolts worked perfectly, I soon realized the keys in the doorknobs were sticking and difficult to push in all the way. I reached out, and they sent a second technician (Christi) who took the time to resolve the issue. While it was a bit disappointing that the job wasn't completed the first time correctly, I am very pleased with the final result. I was especially impressed by their communication; they proactively called me in the morning to update me on a slight delay due to emergency calls. It's rare to find a company that prioritizes follow-up as they do.

I had hope to discuss this with the "upper management" but no one returned my calls after my…read morestrange and unpleasant visit from the locksmith they sent. After not getting a reply to my inquiry via their website, I called and told the woman who answered exactly what I needed (two doors needing one deadbolt on each, new holes drilled). She told me the service fee was $29 and that a locksmith would call me back. It did not take long for a locksmith named "Ron" to call me and offered to come that day. I told him exactly what I needed and he quoted me $185 per door plus $80 per lock. I agreed. I said "Plus the $29 service fee?" He said he'd waive that if he did the job. He arrived several hours later and at first said he couldn't do the job I asked (door too thin) and tried to convince me of other options but then decided he in fact could do the job. At that point he said $289 per door and $80 per lock! I said we agreed on $185 and he claimed he had said "starting at $185" which is not true because if he did, I would have asked more questions. He told me that this new price was the going rate, and that it's not much more than he originally quoted ($200 more) and eventually asked if $269 per door would be acceptable instead. I said no. He told me to think about it and I agreed. But at this point, his friendly demeanor was gone. I had planned to ask for a quote for a less pressing job (switching out doorknobs to the original antique ones removed years ago). He said it was impossible and that I must have new doors. I was perplexed because these were the original doors and he decided to "show me why it wouldn't work" by removing the handles/lock from one door but stayed silent with no replies as I asked him clarification questions. At that point he said I owed him $169 for the service fee "because he had done work." I said I didn't ask him to remove the handles/lock and that the service fee quoted was only $29. He was very angry at this point and asked me what I wanted to pay. I said I'd pay the $29 (just to get him to leave as the tension was very uncomfortable at this point). I Zelle'd Ron the $29 and at that point, I realized the money was going to "SafeKey" (his own business) thanks to this name on the Zelle account and not going to "North Shore Locksmith." I called North Shore Locksmith after he left and the guy who answered wouldn't help me understand why SafeKey had come instead of North Shore Locksmith but assured me that "upper management" would call me back. The next day, no return call. I called North Shore Locksmith again in the morning and again near end of day, each time the person telling me someone would call me back and days later, still no call. Very odd "bait-and-switch" incident where North Shore Locksmith gave my job to a random locksmith, who in turn, "baits-and-switches" on his quoted costs, pretending there was a misunderstanding on the initial quote. I had hoped this was all a misunderstanding with North Shore Locksmith but since North Shore Locksmith won't contact me, I'll never know. Since then, I've gotten quotes from other area locksmiths who are more affordable than even Ron's initial quote.

He also called to let me know when he would be here and arrived at the time promised. Since my locks were older, they were more complicated than anticipated I could not have the work done. David issued me a refund for the service call since the work could not be completed. He even said he will work with me to provide me with better locks. David kept his word and provided me with two new locks/deadbolt. I am very happy with his work and his work ethic -- he keeps his word and verified everything was working before he left; I would recommend this business.
