Responsive, fast, helpful -- will always recommend! Helped me sort out front door lock issue over the phone in 5 minutes: no charge. Least I can do is at thanks with a review! read more

Highly recommended!!! 1) it's Family owned so it's great to support your local businesses. 2) my Father has been going to this shop for over 30-40years since he has a business that Billy's been able to supply him with the specialized locks he needs. They priced him fair and treated him with respect. 3) And now I go there since I have a Brownstone that's has traditionally locks throughout. They've been able to fix and troubleshoot. While help educating you on things, very straightforward. 10/10 highly recommend!!!! read more

Best locksmith in the area, helped out with a lockout situation with great communication and a reasonable price! Thank you for your service! read more

Billy is such an incredible locksmith I recommend him to anyone anywhere in the NY area He's licensed and so knowledgeable about what he does for a living. He also educated me about (unlicensed) locksmiths who scam people for $700 just to repair your lock. Be careful and do your research before hand. Support your local businesses read more

Absolutely amazing and very skilled at their craft. I needed multiple copies of a very specialized equipment key that no other hardware store could even identify the template. Billy's had the template and every copy worked. I also brought in a broken screen door latch (not technically a lock) but they were able to identify, and source, the very specific part, of a part, that needed to be replaced. Thanks guys! read more

Billy's is NOT closed! Best locksmith I've ever used, good people, so knowledgeable.

These guys are the best. I have been scammed in the past by locksmiths in NYC and you have to be careful but these guys are true gentleman and do a great job. Honest and fair price and excellent craftsmanship. read more

I could not be happier with the service provided by Billy's Locksmith. Craig came to our apartment to replace our lock that was broken and could not have been nicer. He went above and beyond to ensure that he left us with a secure apartment & lock, and was great with my dog who was constantly barking at him. Living in the city as a young female I really valued all of the time and effort he put into making sure that our apartment lock and door was fixed, and he gave me great recommendations for extra safety feature we could add. I will definitely use BIlly's Locksmith in the future and ask for Craig. Thank you again! read more

Billy's locksmith is a great family run business. I work on the stages nearby and we use Billy for any lock and key needs. Not only does he and his team get the job done in a timely professional fashion, they do it with a smile on their face. When we needed a lock replaced for an electric gate for our parking lot, Billy had a guy out there on short notice. He took the time to repair it as if it was new but also made sure myself and others confirmed everything was working correctly before leaving. That is the high quality service their team provides. Highly recommend using him for any lock, key and security needs throughout all of Brooklyn. read more

Billy's is the best. We had another locksmith say they would be unable to install a deadbolt in our steel front door. I called billy and Craig was over within 20 minutes and our new deadbolt was installed in an hour or so. He even re-keyed our other lock to match. Everything was perfect. read more

Billy is the best! He is so kind and works very fast!! Got me into my apartment in no time. Thank you Billy!

We were locked out of the house on the one of the hottest days this year. It was late on a Friday afternoon on a holiday weekend. Craig was dispatched almost immediately. He was friendly, charming, and had us out of the sun very quickly. My daughter is very pregnant and was miserable. He was a shining star. Thank you! read more

Was really happy with my experience from start to finish. My first phone call was with Billy who gave me a quick and straightforward (and friendly) recommendation on the best solution for my door lock. I asked for time to make a decision. No pressure or pushy selling at all. The next day I called back and Billy Jr answered. Was fully briefed on my request and was very helpful in answering my additional questions. I was in no rush to get this lock installed but they were able to get a tech out the next morning (fast!). The tech was very professional and did a great job. I'm really pleased with the full experience. From customer service to quality work, all top notch. Thank you! read more

Excellent service and total professionalism! Billy and his team are the best in the business. I'll never go to another place again.

Awesome service, really great prices and very attentive staff. They copied four keys for me in less than ten minutes! I'll be back:)

My daughter lost the key to a chain-lock combo she was sporting as a necklace. Billy's crew was super friendly and got it off no problem. Bonus - they didn't even charge me. Please do all of your locksmith business here! I know I will. read more

These guys are great -- I had a lock / complete door failure yesterday and they were able to come out and fix it almost immediately even though it involved two guys and doing some non-lock stuff like rehanging the door so that it closed right. Very professional and our door now works better than it ever has! read more

I live near this locksmith. I went when I first moved in to get an extra key cut, & it only cost $1.25. That's not the real story, though. One day in October, I was taking a flight to Toronto, & was tidying up my apartment. I had just gotten out of the shower, my hair was wet, & I decided to take the garbage out. When I turned back to go inside the building, I realized I had taken my TORONTO KEYS to the garbage area. I was locked out & had a flight in 3 hours!! I ran--literally ran--to this shop. I was pretty near tears. They were really busy but they stopped to listen to me & a gentleman named Craig dropped everything he was doing, got his tool bag, & rushed back with me. He was able to let me in in a matter of minutes. He checked my ID to make sure I lived there, which I actually found really reassuring. Then he called in the payment to their staff so I didn't have to come back to settle up. The price ($40) was really a gift, considering I demanded immediate service!! If it weren't for this place & Craig's kindness, I absolutely would have missed my flight. Also, after Craig left, he knocked again with an afterthought, & showed me a way to change a mechanism on my door so that it doesn't automatically lock behind me. I do that every time I take out the garbage now, just in case! O, & I now keep all my keys (New York & Toronto) on one keychain. Thanks so much to Craig for his unparalleled service. read more

I have used Billy's for almost a year now. They are responsive and the guys who come out are great. However, they cannot seem to understand how to call before coming over. Many times i have missed them because they forgot to call and I was running errands. Also and more importantly, they do not warranty what they sell. Let me repeat that: THEY DO NOT WARRANTY WHAT THEY SELL. I paid a lot of money to have an automagic keypad and intercom system put in. It broke twice in less than a year. They charged me a full service trip each time with no breaks. Then they had the balls to tell me they put in a cheap door latch because they didn't think I would pay the $400 for one that would last. Anyway, find someone with a warranty. read more

Billy's has been the go-to for our apartment co-op in BedStuy since we moved in. The business is a generation-to-generation family affair--not a chain--that brings expertise and knowledge of both the newest technologies and tried-and-true solutions along with an understanding of each customer's individual needs. They've installed and repaired all of our locks, both for the building and individual apartments, and we recommend them to everyone (and now, you). read more

Needed copies of an extra set of keys for the apartment. Stumbled accidentally on this locksmith, after failing to find service at other places. The employee took the keys, confirmed the order to copy all 3 keys, and began working. In the middle of the process, however, he let us know that one of the keys was a copy of another and proceeded to ask us if we still wanted a copy of it (No, obviously). Instead of easily assuming he could gain another purchase from us, he considerately inquired whether we still wanted it. It was clear that he was careful and honest in his work, and I cannot disagree with that. Each key was less than $2, service was speedy (5 min.), so we were on our merry way! read more

Had my friend help me out copy my car key at Billy's, made 2 copies of my honda accord. Not only do they have a better price than Home Deopot, they are very professional, def know their work, put a lot of heart and effort trying to help out the customer, the owner of the store came out of the store numerous times to test out the key. they even gave a free back up key. it's hard to find a locksmith nowadays, and Billy's is a place where they put out service above anything else. Billy's is my locksmith from now on! Highly recommeded! *Very Professional, Knowledgable *Very Responsible, Patient, Get Things Right, Excellent Service. *Take Good Care of the Customers. *Free Key Chain read more

I walked in and had my eye on a fancy lock I really didn't need. Billy Jr. advised me and helped me pick out a lock that was actually cheaper and better in the long run. My appointment the next day was scheduled to be from 10am-12pm. Billy Jr. called me and told me a tech was on his way beforehand. The technician arrived 10:15am. Very friendly, went right to work, and actually grabbed my broom to clean up after. Doesn't get any better. For the first time in 4 years since I lived here I feel my door is actually secure. Of course I will be back! Thanks Billy's!! read more

The customer service here is incredible! I arrived 45 minutes after closing, but hey still opened the door with a smile. My keys were copied in 5 minutes, and they even threw in an extra key ring for my other keys. This will not be the only locksmith I use. read more

After several attempts to have a Medeco key made that actually worked, Billy's exceeded my expectations. The key opened the door on the first try - no fuss - no jiggling or angling it in the lock - as smooth as butter. If you want a good key made, go to a locksmith. I highly recommend Billy's for keys, replacing locks (previous experience) and great service. read more

These guys are solid! Dependable, helpful, and super nice. Thanks for your help in such short notice. Really a neighborhood staple!!

Billy's Locksmith was a lifesaver. I'm a nanny and accidentally locked myself out of the apartment because the door closed before i got to stop it. Thankfully Craig came within minutes of me calling and opened the door. Thank you guys so much for your prompt service. Will definitely recommend them anytime read more

Best price, fastest service, reliable and trustworthy!! Billy's is incredible! We called while locked out of our apartment with a newborn and Billy sent Eddie within 30 min. They were so kind, helpful, fast and fair with their pricing. It was one of the moments that makes you trust there are good New Yorkers out there. And we spoke directly with Billy and Eddie was the nicest guy!! Thank you so much!! read more

I've learned my lesson in the past. Get your keys cut, get home, check the key & find out out that the nitwit couldn't cut the key to fit- go back & demand your money back, because THEY SUCK AT LIFE! A few places wouldn't cut our mailbox keys, because the key style was too "old." WHAT? Well, sucks to be them, because Billy's can & did. I can haz keyz, please. read more

Billy's is the absolute best, don't bother calling anyone else! I locked myself out of my apartment and they came to save the day within 30 minutes of me calling them to help. Within seconds, I was back in my apartment with keys in hand. I can't thank them enough! Quick, efficient and the most kind, thank you so much Billy's!! read more

Fantastic service. The owners and employees are all incredibly nice and helpful. They get the job done fast and with efficiency. Really good prices too. I've been messed with trying to get keys made before, but these guys don't screw around. 5/5 read more

Had to have my locks replaced so called Billy's. Highly recommend Billy's as they were on time, clean and efficient, Craig did a great job. Family business has been around for decades, can't go wrong choosing Billy's. read more

I needed to get extra keys made and called Billy's right before they closed. Despite it being St Patrick's Day, Billy himself agreed to stay 30 min late so I could come over and get extra keys made. The service was quick and easy and Billy was very friendly. Also it was very affordable. I highly recommend Billy's services. read more

Billy's Locksmith is without question the best Locksmith service that I have ever used. I have been debating for a while to get a new lock and after doing a ton of research and reading many reviews, I found Billy's and this was the best decision that I made. All I had to do was send photos of my door and lock and someone got back to me with recommendations on a lock based on need and price. The turnaround time to schedule an appointment was extremely quick. As for the locksmith, Craig was incredible: he was on-time, courteous and extremely knowledgeable and competent. He took his time to make sure that everything was functioning properly and made sure that I was comfortable with using the new lock. Craig cleaned everything up and the service was impeccable. I feel much safer knowing that I not only have a high-quality lock on my door, but that the person who installed it was competent and that everything was done correctly. If you have any needs in terms of locks, keys and security, Billy's is the only place to go. read more

These guys rule! They asked for emailed photos first with problems, then told me to just shoot some oil in there and problem solved!! Glad to see some honest Abe's left in the biz!! read more

Since I moved into the neighborhood in 2011, Billy's has been my only stop for anything to do with locks - and since I'm a building super that means I've been to their shop at least 100 times. And they're batting 1000. Always on point, friendly, knowlegable and skilled. A true family business and they treat you like family. I couldn't recommend this place more. The best of what Brooklyn has to offer. read more

Billy's came highly recommended to be and I'm glad it was! I recently moved to Brooklyn, in a very old apartment building. I wanted to change the old lock and get an additional one installed. The gentleman from Billy's came and was very honest. Although the changing of the old lock and the new dead bolt lock costed about $250, it was well worth the investment. He was able to give me one key for both locks. In addition, he gave me some helpful hints. He was very kind and professional. The job was done quickly and neatly. A few days later I went into the shop and got several sets of keys made. The keys were made in seconds and got a very cheap price. I highly recommend Billy's and will use him again if need be. read more

Bill's locksmith is great!!! I called yesterday to schedule an instillation of my Yale, Google Nest Lock. The Technician came the very next day and was on time, extremely professional, walked me through the functionality of my new lock and did an all around great job! If you're in Greenpoint and are in need of a locksmith, look no further! read more
