To the business owner, it was your business that I called. As I said, the job was done very quickly. The guy who came to the apartment was not the business owner, I assume he worked for you. I paid cash. Would I call your company again if I needed service again - yes. But I am not likely to need your services again, as the person who was on the floor inside the apartment died. read more

They ,"affordable locksmith", charged me $600 for a simple cylinder lock change because my key broke off in my old lock. My super wasn't available at night, but he told me the next day that it should have cost only $200. I feel cheated. read more

They came on time, they did the job, no nonsense. What a pleasure. This job was done at my place of business. I did not have to go to them.

Response to the Owner's Comment (Liran): - Sunday Service: I find it unnecessary for you to emphasize that you came on a Sunday. I never suggested it was an emergency, so the visit could have easily been scheduled for the next day. Moreover, your service is advertised as 24/7, correct? - Lack of transparency and pricing: My main concern is the lack of transparency and the attempt to rip me off. The lock you intended to "repair" costs $65 brand new, yet you proposed to "fix" it by replacing two pieces for $300, plus $55 for labor. It's clear that these two components do not cost $150 each, given that the entire lock is only $65. The price was clearly inflated for profit. The least you could have done was to inform me that purchasing a new lock for $65 would have been a more cost-effective solution. When I declined your offer, you had the audacity to ask, "How much are you willing to pay?"--which only reinforced my suspicion that you were attempting to take advantage of me. - Overcharging: Yes, I paid $160 for the lock to be opened, but had I not questioned the cost of replacing those two pieces, I would have ended up paying an additional $355, bringing the total to $515--just to change a lock! The right thing to do would have been to open the lock and then advise me that the best option was to purchase a brand new lock and then charge for the labor. I would have gladly paid, knowing it was the most reasonable and honest solution read more

It was very fast and very affordable and has a lot of set of tools in different situations. Pricing is amazing get a quote with other lock smith and see for yourself the price difference... I can't emphasize enough how VERY AFFORDABLE THIS ONE IS read more

I called on a Monday to change a lock I have been procrastinating. Liran was ready to meet me at my home within 2 hours. I was not home so it would not work and I had called to make an appointment for the next day. So we set the agreed upon time slot for the next day. Liran called to confirm later on that day and confirm the address. The next day Liran was there between the time he said. He looked at the lock and provided to options of type of locks. Once I agreed to one, he went downstairs to his truck where he had needed supplies. The job was less then 5 minutes. We practiced with the keys and he gave me two copies. Said if I needed another set to contact him. I had purchased a security lock for the inside of the door and had procrastinated on attaching it. He did me the favor of bolting it in. Easy transaction I paid in cash. read more

If you're looking at this review, while you are shopping around for locksmith, take it from me, STOP LOOKING RIGHT NOW! Why? Because I can attest you this, you will never find anyone who can give you a better deal for the same work quality you would get from anywhere else and I looked around pretty thoroughly. I did the bidding using yelp's feature and these people beat all of them. Not only that, on the day I finally brought them in (the same day appointment, no less), they showed up on time, stayed for less than half hour and did some solid work. I defitiely would hire them for the next job in a heartbeat. Really look no further - this service is it. read more

The service was very quick and I'm very satisfied with the service least stressful experience I've had for changing my door lock.

Good locksmith with reasonable price. I have recently moved into a new apartment, and wanted to change the locks for security reasons. Liran provided a quote quickly and gave me different choices of locks. On the day of installation, he noticed that there's something wrong with the door, so we spent more than an hour to fix the lock plus the door, just to ensure that I can lock and open the door smoothly. After going through the whole thing, I can see that Liran listens to the concerns of the clients, put himself into your shoe, and pours out his heart in serving his customers. I'm sure that I'll call Affordable Locksmith Queens whenever I need in the future. Highly recommended! read more

Liran came out a few days ago to install a deadbolt in my new apartment door. I spoke to a few locksmiths in the area before booking the job and he was the most responsive and gave the best price. He was friendly, efficient, and as far as I can tell did the job right. Whole job took maybe 20-30 minutes and it's working fine and looks good. He also took a look at the other lock on my door which was kind of sticking and gave me a few suggestions about what to do to fix it, as well as ground down the frame a little which helped already. A+ for Liran, I'd hire him again. read more

Amazing! Came to help on the same day I reached out. Liran came with the lock, installed and had me test it all before he left. The whole process took maybe 30 minutes. Fast and quick. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. I even shopped around and some of the quotes for this same issue were ridiculous. Liran was fairly priced. read more

Leo is fabulous he is so speedy with his work ethic he initially got here exactly the time that he said he would be here and the end result was magnificent my door is able to lock now after three months of not being able to close and he worked his magic definitely book Leo as your affordable locksmith in Queens best in town. read more

Liran was fantastic. He quoted a great price and delivered. All done in one afternoon. A+

CROOKS! GO ELSEWHERE! PAID $720 lockout and lock replacement and find out 2 weeks later the the lock installed was a CHEAP, USED LOCK after it malfunctioned! See photos below. The Owner LIRAN SASSON has been unresponsive, hanging up my calls, scheduled visits to fix the lock, but never shows up or calls. BACKSTORY: I was locked out 3 weeks ago and Liran sent someone inexperienced to drill my lock ($229) and replace it ($260). Locksmith #1 acted unprofessional and the cost seemed unusually high when I was initially quoted $300 by Liran over the phone. I got suspicious when he told me there was additional sales tax not included. I called Liran who who asked why he was charging me additional tax. We settled at $489 that I paid to Liran through Zelle. I didn't trust the lock installation and texted photos of the new lock to Liran who said he would personally come the next day to check on the lock installation. He never showed up. The next day I found myself locked out again because I wasn't aware the security button on the mortise lock was pressed. I had to call Liran again who sent a different locksmith. Locksmith #2 picked the lock with a plastic card in all but 2 minutes and charged me $200! Why couldn't the locksmith from the day before pick my lock installed of drilling and breaking it??? After he opens the door, he pointed out the new lock wasn't installed properly and proceeded to spend 30 minutes trying to fix the lock installation from the prior day. The next day, I confirmed I was overcharged by this business when I called 5-6 different locksmiths in the area to get a quote and was told most would charge me $300-350 for the work required for a lockout and and a new lock install. I let Liran know he overcharged me and asked for a refund of $300. He said he was only willing to refund me $100 but never does. After 2 weeks, the new lock stops working!! I'm not able to turn the bolt and couldn't shut my front door. I tried calling Liran again and he hung up on me numerous times! That night I had to take apart the lock myself in order to close my door. Since then, more phone calls, to Liran and hang ups my calls by Liran. Eventually I get Liran on the call. He says he will come replace the lock but fails to show after 2 separate scheduled visits. I am forced to file complaints against Affordable Locksmith Queens with Better Business and Dept of Consumer Affairs. Liran doesn't seem to care. I'm out $720 and nothing gained but headaches and frustration. Avoid doing business with this unscrupulous owner. UPDATE 9/24/22- I finally had a brand new lock installed by my building's locksmith ($300) and it was confirmed the lock installed by Liran's Locksmith #1 on 9/5/22 was a used, cheap Chinese made lock. The door knob and front and back plate is silver but the side plate is brass. I have called Liran numerous times asking for a refund and he still just hangs up on me. read more

Really great and fast service! I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know!

We got locked out of our apartment and instead of calling a locksmith, I pushed the door in and the frame and lock broke. Needless to say we needed a locksmith ASAP. Found this place on Yelp and decided to give them a call. I told them I would send a pic first to see if they can fix the door frame and locks. They said no problem. Said somebody would be there 45 minutes. Came as promised and got to work. I was skeptical as to how the job would come out. He took his time and let me tell you the man fixed the door frame, fixed the lock and it looks better than it did before. Price was very reasonable for what was done. I would highly recommend them for your locksmith and even woodworking needs! read more

I messaged a few locksmiths on Yelp for a quote. Affordable Locksmith Queens was very responsive and gave the best quote. Leo came the same afternoon and helped me change the cylinder on the deadbolt for my apartment. He was super nice, wore a mask and socially distanced, and did the job quickly and efficiently. So far the new lock works great! He also accepts Zelle in case you don't have exact change on you. I would definitely recommend Leo and ALQ to anyone looking for a good locksmith! read more

Good value, good communication, reliable service by Leo. He did a great job in changing new lock for our apartment. Will definitely recommend him to family and friends! read more

Well, I called Leo based on the "good" reviews but it seems that he's running a very weird game. He send two of his "technicians" to take a look at it. But they didn't even pause to explain, because right away they said it is a $595.00 dollars job. I said no because that sounded like too much, and I know that it's only an alignment problem in the lock, so it only needs to be taken apart and be fixed. When I said no to 595, he called his manager, but he started to talk in a language I would not recognize. Which isn't good for a customer who's trying to understand. Then he said he would charge me 494. I said no. I paid him for his assessment and he left. But shortly after Then he kept calling me. Then Leo called me and said he'd do it for 250.00. I said no. Then his technician wouldn't stop calling me right after Leo called. I finally picked, so he said, "my manager told me to do it for 395". I said no, I am not interested. That was the end. I don't think these guys are serious, so be aware of letting them in your hom. read more

Very knowledgeable, prompt, and helpful. Got us in to our garage and replaced the lock at a reasonable rate.

There was an issue with the price quoted and services provided. The owner resolved this quickly and provided excellent customer service

I give them credit for quick response time, but all we were hoping to accomplish was to unlock a residential lock. The guy said that because it was a "secure lock" he had to drill into it and break it, which of course then required us to purchase a replacement lock. The drilling cost $375, plus a $55 "service charge" and the new lock was an additional $450! I was under the impression that any lock is pickable, so this reeked of upsell, but I'm not a professional locksmith and they know that. These guys know they have you by the balls when you're locked out and can basically charge whatever they want. $880 for less than an hour of actual work - an insane ripoff and some very unscrupulous price gouging. read more

Let's start by saying that I've worked in the service industry and I'm automatically prepared to tip anyone for their great service. Leo came right on time as we scheduled for 4pm today. I live 2 blocks down from the business location. (That's why they get one star). My lock was jammed and I need a whole new lock. Cool I was fully aware. Leo told me the price would be $400.00. Yes. Four Hundred Dollars! I couldn't believe my ears. He then saw my face and said.. "if your paying cash it's $250" & blamed the $150 increase on taxes!!! I immediately thanked him for his time and asked him to leave. I know we're in a pandemic. But scamming isn't the way to do it. Won't ever call this business again. read more

Quick and efficient, got my bathroom door opened within minutes!! And most affordable pricing compared to other quotes I received. Thanks so much! read more

Super easy. Scheduled same day to change the cylinder to the deadbolt, took maybe 15m and then was all done! Not pricey either. Haven't had any issues. read more

Liran is a consummate pro. I got locked out because I lost my keys on saucy Sunday - and heading into work today I had to sneak out of my window to keep the apartment locked. Might start a career in parkour now... Prospect 10 Locksmiths in the area - all either highballing me or being inconsiderate of the fact that I work during the day. And when I told them that they weren't being serious with me, they told me that the 'other guy' was out to scam me because that couldn't fathom a competitor providing outstanding customer service. Liran thinks like the customer - something that seems crazy in the contracting world but is refreshing to see. Will recommend Affordable Locksmith to ANYONE who is looking for fast, affordable, but most importantly, a quality service. read more

We had an issue with a tenant who moved out but did not give back the right keys. We recently got the court order to enter the building and needed a locksmith--they were extremely speedy at providing a good quote and contacting me ASAP. Highly recommend and would contact them again if a similar issue pops up. read more

I was scammed. I called for a quote to re-key one door lock to match the lock of another door in my apartment. The quote to do this was $85. "Affordable Locksmith Queens," contracted the job to another locksmith, we'll call him Locksmith 2. He called me for my address and asked what kind of lock I had, not knowing much about locks I texted him a picture of the lock and he called back saying he could re-key it. Locksmith 2 arrives, pulls the cylinder out and tells me he cannot re-key it because it has too many pins but he can replace both locks' cylinders so they'll work with the same key. Ok, great. That's the problem I wanted solved, 1 key 2 doors. Locksmith 2 changes the cylinders and then tells me the price is $170. I told him Locksmith 1 quoted me $85 and Locksmith 2 said it's $85 for 1 lock. We went back and forth with me explaining I sent a picture of the lock and that was the quote I received so it's not my fault he didn't know he couldn't re-key it and Locksmith 2 punting to Locksmith 1. I don't know anything about re-keying locks but it feels a lot like a scam. 1/5 wouldn't recommend. The new cylinders don't even match the door hardware, gold instead of silver. read more
