We tried…read morecalling the local police for any recommendations for locksmiths but they were unable to provide any names. We then turned to Yelp and they were the only local locksmith with a review - glad it was at least a positive one. Champion Locksmith seemed quite professional. It took them about 75 minutes to get to our house which was within 10 minutes of their estimate. Pros: They were very friendly and professional They checked my ID (although it was after opening the door) Took 2-3 minutes to unlock the door (feels a bit unsettling) Provided invoice Cons: Required check on the spot A bit expensive at $95 Invoice PO Box is out of West Roxbury (v. Yelp address out of Waltham) Overall, this was about as nice of an experience as you can get for getting locked out of your house and having to pay someone to break back in.

It was the first beautiful day after a week of rain, and I'm guessing all other in the phone book took the day off. My neighbor let me into our building and helped me leave messages for over 10 locksmiths. Most went to a voicemail service saying to leave a message and someone will call back within 10 minutes. Well I didn't hear from a SINGLE ONE! So I saw an add for Champion which said emergency service 25/7 so I called. Someone (very friendly) answered by the second ring. He told me someone would be at my place within a half hour. The locksmith showed up about 20 minutes later and was able to get me in my apartment within seconds! The only reason I gave 4 stars out of 5 was because it was pricey. I was expecting it to be between $50 and $100 based on what I know friends have paid, but Champion charged $125. I can't complain, they were the only ones who showed up and the service was excellent! If your life is on hold, what's an extra 25 bucks. Thank you Champion Locksmith!

I tried every key shop I could find and kept being told that my car was old and the key wasn't hi-tech enough for them to replace. Even a dealership wanted a fortune to get it made by the manufacturer with a long wait for delivery. Then I spotted X Locksmith in the halls of the Watertown Mall, just across from the Registry. I was not expecting a positive answer, especially since the "shop" isn't even a building. It's a couple of counters and a display case. They service all kinds of sexy newer cars, but they did not for a second hesitate to help with my "old lady" car. I recently lost one of my keys and decided to get a couple of replacements. George is still terrific. No problem that it's an older car. In less than an hour he cut and programmed two new keys and even threw in an extra manual key so I would have a "backup." Great guy, great service, competitive prices. I would use them again anytime.

I would not do business with this company ever again.

In this line of business it seems exploitative to hide your costs until they are on site. Furthermore, he charges a 3.5% cc fee unless you leave him a review...while he waits. I did not agree to this strong arm strategy and ultimately he waived the cc fee. Point is, ask up front for costs and look elsewhere unless you're in a dire pinch.

I got locked out of my house I called early in the morning around 6 ish. The guy said he could come…read morein 20 min he artived in 35 min. When I called him I explained to him it would be a schlage deadbolt it either needs to be picked or the cylinder needs to come out and changed out. He couldn't pick it so he started drilling. He had to keep using different size bits. He didn't look like he knew what he was doing. In the process he cut his finger. He not only chipped up the entire face of the Schlage lock now making it ugly just to get to the inside of where he could grip the bolt. What was supposed to be a 15-30 min job now took more than an hour and a half. All he kept saying was the guy who put in this lock didn't know what he was doing. It was more like he didn't know what he was doing he kept asking me which way do I turn the lock and my answer was not going to change from the last time. He could not pull the bolt out of the slot with his handy pliers. He finally gets it pulled out the socket. He then is turning the bolt and he says you see this it won't go back all the way he did something so it turns easier now. He shows me the inside plate where the bolt would slide into lock. He asked who pit in this lock? My dad many years ago. He says well your dad did an awful job. You see the plate is slanted it should be straight so that it doesn't get too tight or stick to turn. So he digs on that side now drilling a deeper hole. He knew i was pressed to get to work as I had to open up my office(luckily i have great drs who helped out ). He then says he can put in a silver lock not the Schlage or he can put in a gold lock. I left to go to work and had him finish up what he was doing. My family was home so they were able to pay him because I didn't have the $ he was asking for $475 to over $500 job. $75 to come out mind u he lives 15 min away. He said he charges $175 for drilling, $125 for labor(that drilling was part of your labor WTF), $100 cost for lock. He made 4 copies of keys and was going to drop it off to my job because he said he was going out that way. He wanted to charge me extra $12 for keys. He also didn't get to my job tight away i had to call him he came by around 12:30 or after. So remember when I told you the plate was supposed to be straight well that was was bullshit because when I got home the plate was still crooked/slanted and now when I turned my key the hole now felt way to easy and in fact I used to turn the key in and heard it click now I don't hear the click or feel it as tight now so I now always have to double check if It is locked because it doesn't feel like it is sliding right! i want go add he also asked me before I left if i wanted a matching bottom lock I said no because why replace something that ain't broke and that will cause more labor and more work. He was trying to jack up money! Then he left all the shavings on my porch and doorway! I should have went w my original locksmith but I didn't choose him because he couldn't get to me until the afternoon.
