OG capitol hill spot still standing with great service. Love to see it! Family owned :)

Friendly service! I was in and out of there in under 3 minutes! Highly recommend if you're needing to make a copy of your keys and want to support a local business. read more

Made a copy of my key in less than 60 seconds and it cost $5 (before tax). Great work and so fast! Highly recommend, I would come back here if I needed to. read more

advised me on price differences for key copy blanks and quickly made three copies of my key. I was in and out in about 5 minutes. Professional and friendly. I'll definitely work with them again. read more

Walked in to get a copy of my house key made. The gentleman took less than 5 minutes and it was reasonably priced (cheap!). Thank you so much for making this quick and easy! read more

Wow, what a GREAT experience at this place! I had a personal safe that I could not open and the company no longer made a key (super disappointing). However, the folks here did such a great job as a walk-in. At first try they had a hard time.....but the person said "no, way I'm not giving up on this I will get this thing open!" He eventually did......and was so cool about everything and I had such a great experience. Highly recommended.... read more

This place was recommended to me by Pacific Supply off 12th after trying to get a copy made of my '70 Honda scooter key. Which was the only copy I had at the time, and it was slightly bent. So, on its last leg for sure. When I got there, the gentlemen initially helping me at BL search extensively through their catalogs of key models to find it, but to no avail. As I was about to leave the shop a gentlemen by the name of Robel walked in to behind the counter and ask the current clerk what the situation was. After inspecting the key, he had me write down my information and was going to contact me after he got home to look at old motorcycle key blanks he had in his collection, possibly make a copy with. Which was already going above and beyond to help me. I was grateful and wrote my information before I began to shove off. As I was about to hop on my bike to leave, Robel ran out and stopped me, asked to wait a couple min. After a few trips of him coming in and out to inspect the bike's ignition with other key blanks, we found one that would work if he cut AND thinned out by machine. It was amazing to see this man work this level of magic. I am truly grateful for Robel and the staff there to exist in this city and to have that level of expertise made available. To say they went above and beyond to help me out is a understatement. Go there for all your lock and key needs. Seriously, I doubt after this experience there isn't something in that field they can't handle. read more

We made 3 copies of a key for our storage room, using a vending machine at the drugstore. They looked fine, but when we got home they didn't work. Actually one barely worked but the others just wouldn't turn. Today I took them to Broadway Locksmith. There was no wait. He took the original and 3 copies and went to the back. I heard 3 quick grinding sounds, and in less than a minute the copies had been adjusted. They work perfectly! It was an unexpectedly low price, too. read more

I have been looking around for a locksmith that could cut barrel shaped Ilco padlock keys. I called Broadway after a different locksmith told me to "Call Broadway, they can copy everything", and sure enough, they cut my barrel and Schlage style keys in the blink of an eye. Clearly you get your moneys worth, they were able to make 6 keys of each for a fraction of the cost of others I called. Definitely come here is you are cost conscious (but still expect a quality product). Parking is a bit tough, that's about the only downside, but there is usually ample street parking if you aren't visiting during rush hour. Thanks for the great service! A++++++ read more

If it's possible, this guy will get it done. I had a listing in Capitol Hill with a unique key that I needed a copy of for the lockbox, I already knew Home Depot, lowes, and the like wouldn't be able to help, I came across Broadway locksmith from a recommendation and he made the copy for me right away for $2.00. Highly recommended. read more

Came in to get a new key using a specific type of Baldwin key blank that you can't get at a box hardware store. The guy behind the counter took care of me in less than 5 minutes. It's a little more spendy than going to Lowes, but it was worth it. read more

Disappointed that they aren't able to fulfill what their website claims they can do, since I was told that I cannot get a car remote/FOB when I phoned them and said they can't do remotes. Website claim: "We have the ability to make remotes for many vehicles, even if you've lost the original remote." Otherwise they were polite on the phone and I imagine their services thst are available are great. read more

Friendly workers, super fast service. They made 19 office keys in less than 15 minutes, even stamped each one with the appropriate number. Only $2.50 per key. If you need a key made, I highly suggest making a stop here. read more

Broadway Locksmith - Cool safe inside Broadway Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had the worst experience with Broadway Locksmith. Bjorn, the man who came to install door hardware and hinges, didn't have the skills to install the hardware. He told me that I was sent the wrong hardware but I found out later he just didn't install it properly. He stripped the hardware and scratched the finish. He then told me half way through changing the hinges that he had to go and left a couple hinges off the door. I was left with a door I couldn't open and hinges that still needing to be hung. read more

Great and fast service! Went to 3 different places and they couldn't do a copy of my mail key. Broadway did it in under a minute and charged less than half the other places. read more

I called and spoke with Eric and we were able to get an appointment pretty quickly. The door we were working on is old and the parts aren't easily acquired, he assured me he had stock for them. Bjorn was our service provider, he was very knowledgeable and did quick work. I would have preferred if he would have not left metal scraps/shavings on the floor (from the deadbolt shaving) I would use them again, they were friendly and do good work. ..just have your shop vac ready ;) read more

The person who came and helped me after I realized I locked my keys inside was so helpful, friendly, and so incredibly fast at getting the door unlocked. I swear I blinked and he had already performed his magic and had the door open. Will definetly call again. read more

I was heading home from work and accidentally dropped my keys in the car while putting my dog in the car. I didn't realize that in doing so I had bumped the lock button while doing so. I knew as soon as I shut the door that I was in big trouble. I called Broadway Locksmith and they were able to head down immediately. It only took about 10 minutes or so for them to arrive. They entered the garage that I was parked in and had me in my car in about 5 minutes. The locksmith (whose name I can't remember, unfortunately) was fast, friendly and courteous. I'm very happy with the experience and would most definitely hire them again. I highly recommend them. read more

I recently moved and the locksmith was extremely polite and got me secured efficiency. He was very respectful of my house and next time I need a locksmith they'll be the first on my list. read more

Stopped in to get two extra keys made for my Buddy 125 (scooter). Whole process took ~5 minutes. Service was bomb. Even got a helpful reminder to check the keys before I left. read more

When the person arrived 45" late instead of "sorry I'm late" I got "where's the fire?" which seemed to express displeasure that I called after 15" and then the office after 30" when no one showed up and no one called to say the appointment would be late. Once arrived, quick and efficient. Just didn't need the rude vibe. read more

Super fast service and accommodating. Was able to get into my apartment unit in under 2 minutes. Ken was super friendly and gave a lot of good advice for the door. Highly recommend this!! read more

Love your local, real, great-at-they-do, quirky, awesome locksmiths. These guys have earned their place as a Capitol Hill fixture. May they endure, with their competence & magic & good humor. read more

Broadway Locksmith - Visit to understand, and level up as a local. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Hired to rekey my new house, and they were very accommodating and gave an accurate estimate upfront. Very friendly and professional, so much that my realtor will now be referring guys clients to here as well. I had an early appointment with them so I could fit movers in the same day, and he showed even earlier than expected, and was very professional about me still being in transit. read more

They close at 5:30 during the week and I rushed over to Broadway Locksmith after work to try and get an extra key made before they closed. I started walking up the steps at 5:27 and there was a guy in the entrance getting happy hour started early sipping a whiskey on the rocks. He asked how he could help me and I told him I needed a key copied. He walked to the back, took my key, made the copy and handed me both keys. Total process took less than 1 minute and it came out to only a few bucks. Great customer service, great product at a reasonable, great experience. Would definitely recommend. read more

Oh geez, I needed keys! Although you can get keys at other nearby locations like QFC, the Broadway Locksmith is awesome! Why go to a chain when you can support a local shop? I walked in and was greeted by two friendly locksmiths. There was almost a battle over who was going to help me out! Yes - that's how great they were! In less than 2 minutes I got the keys I needed, paid, and was out the door. I can't think of a single reason not to give them a solid 5 stars. read more

I had a vexing problem with my door key for my ancient van- the big box store copy wouldn't open all the doors, just the drivers, and I'd lost the original. I thought I was up-a-creek. Broadway Locksmith let me drop off the blue beast and they fixed the key problem while I was at work. I was out the door with 3 copies of the ignition and door locks for $62 bucks! These guys are old school and know their stuff. Another Capitol Hill locksmith that will remain unnamed told me that I'd have to replace all the door locks and have them re-keyed. Now I'm like- KAPOOYA! read more

I tried to find another locksmith in my neighborhood the other day, but it seemed like all of them were closed forever. I'm not sure why I even bothered, Capitol Hill is just a few miles north of me and since they're open on Saturdays, I really didn't have an excuse not to. I think I was just being straight-up lazy. These guys can do keys for you at their place, or they can come out to re-key your house. Whatever's clever. You could go to Lowe's to make keys, but their key selection is really limited. Broadway can create keys for those random things like the cheapie vertical cabinet keys at your office (that is, if an IKEA key from some other lockbox doesn't already fit in them.) I'm pretty sure any IKEA key can start your car for you. I found out about these guys from work a long time ago, and I really don't go anywhere else normally, unless it's only one key at the hardware store, and I already need to pick up a chainsaw...and duct tape. For business purposes, they will accept a PO if you meet their criteria, and take all other forms of payment too. When I made a couple of keys the other day, I remembered that I needed to do one more on my key ring. In a flash, the key was done and when I tried to pay cash for it, he said, "Don't worry about it." Just threw in an extra key, just like that. Wow. I want to pay it forward now, so I am looking for other keys around the house just so I can make a copy and use their business more often. There's a small parking lot that can hold two cars max, but considering how fast they are, you could almost leave your car running (but don't do that.) read more

We called them to come out and rekey our home. They did the work flawlessly, however, they nickle and dimed us, including charging us for work that didn't need to be done. Specifically, they charged us a fee to drill larger holds in our doors to install a new deadbolt, when, come to find out, the deadbolt comes with a feature to install in smaller holes. If I could go back in time, we could have saved over a hundred dollars by just going to Home Depot. Update: to Eric @ Broadway Locksmith. You misunderstood my concern, I love local, highly trained professionals. I hate it when I'm charged $30 to drill a bigger hole in my door, when the same feat could have been accomplished by removing the sizing plate in the deadbolt with a single screw. read more

Disclaimer: I didn't actually hire Broadway Locksmith Inc. to do our security because we had already installed a security system when I called them. I simply called to inquire about installing a new deadbolt and door locks and they provided me with enough information to help me on my way. When I was researching deadbolts and locks to install in our new place, I called Broadway Locksmith Inc. just to ask questions and learn about prices. I spoke with the owner and he talked my ear off for 20 minutes, providing me with honest and helpful information to send me along my way. He didn't try to sell me on anything but he provided me with the information that I needed to make my purchasing decision. I didn't use any of their services and I didn't buy any of their products but by educating me on the phone, the owner saved me time and gave me piece of mind when selecting my security solutions. His advice was valuable and it deserves a mention. I have no problem going out of my way to recommend good people on Yelp.com. read more

My mailbox lock was always persnickety and recently my boyfriend broke a key in it. Luckily, our friendly postman showed us how to remove the lock. We went to Home Depot at first, but they only had one lock option and when we got home we were disappointed to find that it didn't fit. We should have just gone to Broadway Locksmith first! I showed the broken lock to the gentleman who helped me; he took it to the back and came back in a few seconds with a perfect match. He kindly explained the best way to ensure that it would work well for us, and I was out the door within five minutes. The only disappointment was that the lock cost about $20, $14 more than the Home Depot lock - but hey, it actually works! I was able to install it myself in a few seconds and now we have a lock that's way better than the one we had before. read more

We had on old vending machine that had a missing key. They replaced it so easily and for much lower cost than other places. They are great!

They were the ONLY locksmiths that had a Kawasaki Ninja 250 Key Blank AND the ability to cut it for $20-something bucks (I had my own OEM key blank). I had the seat lock with me to verify right away if the key worked, and it did! You can't beat that when most will charge $40-50. I couldn't even find any that were able/wanted to aside from Bulger's who didn't have access to the cutting tumbler. Location & Parking: It looks like a house converted into a business, which fits the Capital Hill vibe. While it's not very spacious inside, you could fit probably 5 to 6 people in their lobby with some room to spare, it's got some really cool vintage locks to look at and a cheeky sign on what they charge. This is more of a disclaimer than a negative: it's not the greatest location if you travel by car. They have a designated area to park, but it's kind of dangerous to back out since you're in a blind corner and the entrance is also the exit. Needs Improvement: They get minus one star because they gouged the plastic housing on both sides of the key :( I didn't notice until I got home. Overall: The whole process took maybe 5-10minutes. Friendly, Quick, and Helpful. I hope next time they're a little more careful, but will still recommend. read more

Fantastic!!!!! Wonderful owner, and wonderful staff. They will happily venture out of their service area (neighborhood) and come to you, no matter the time of day. They have very affordable rates. Was my mistake, but they were fabulous about it. They are never in a hurry. I cannot say enough good things about them. read more

Wow, talk about incredible customer service. I had the unfortunate experience of having my purse stolen out of my friend's trunk while we went for a run in the park. Purse, wallet, phone and yep, house/car keys gone. So, we had to make an appointment to come have our locks re-keyed. Had an appointment for 1pm today. 12:59 my doorbell rings. It's always awesome when a business is on time. Sol is the person who came to change our locks, and I have to say, he was awesome. Very friendly and courteous, but also he went above and beyond what we even needed done. When changing the lock on the front door he noticed that it didn't latch well. Which we have known about and have found really annoying, but didn't know how to fix. Sol fixed it for us without even asking! Then when he came upstairs to change the balcony lock, he noticed that the deadbolt was really tight, and it was hard to actually lock the door. Another thing that annoyed us. He went to his truck and got a drill and fixed that for us too. No charge for either. I know it was probably something small for him to do, but for my husband and I, who are clueless when it comes to home improvement, it was super nice of him to do. Overall he was a very quick, friendly guy to work with. If I ever need a service like this again (fingers crossed I don't) I will definitely use this company. read more

Lets just say I got a yelp account just so I could give these guys 5 stars. I set an appointment with Broadway Locksmith on Friday after calling a few others who didn't work over the weekends. As someone that works during the week, I do not have time nor would I like to take time off work JUST to change my lock. These guys are GREAT. They work over the weekends (Satuday) and provide fast service. The locksmith coming to my house called 3-4 hours before to ask if he could change his arrival time versus showing up late and making me wait an hour for him. He was also very friendly and got the job done super fast. He also fixed other things that were wrong with my door and left me the last bit of his lock easing oil stuff. I'm very grateful and would recommend these guys! read more

My third time using their service! Still excellent customer service! Got my keys copied and out of the store in less than 2 min!

WELLP- one of my stores was broken into and they took off with the cash drawer. FORTUNATELY- there was absolutely no cash (not even change) in the drawer, BUT there was two security keys for a drop bag in there. LOLZ stoopid thieves, LOLZ. HOWEVER, the lolz was partially on me- I had to replace those keys, which are actually hard to come by. After making some calls around the city- I learned that Broadway does actually have these specific keys, so I made my way to the hills, ermm well, up to the hill. The guys behind the counter were super helpful and speedy. Great price, great service...what more could you ask for? OH- a 1980s Mr. T poster behind the counter advertising medeco keys? WELL GLAD YOU ASKED, 'CAUSE THEY HAVE THAT TOOOO, I PITY THE FOO WHO DON'T GET THEIR KEYS AT BROADWAY LOCKSMITH. read more

Great place.. convenient, fast, and reasonable prices. A tip if you need a lock rekeyed (for example if you just moved into a new house/condo): most locks are easy to remove yourself and you'll save a lot of money by bringing it in - it's only about $10 per lock, whereas if you ordered service to your door it'd be $60+ (with this or any other locksmith). read more

Our friend recommended this local business. We really want to support local businesses but we find the people they send very unprofessional.
