First time ever locking myself out of the house. Bummer. I called Chiko's to get into the house. When I called, I was quoted $150 to $230 depending upon the difficultly. Chiko called someone else who did get to the house within 15 mins. Definitely prompt. I asked the person who showed up how much. He said it could be tricky etc... Anyway, it took this person 2 mins to open the door. I was then charged $239! For a job that took all of 5 mins if you include his getting out of and back into his van. On top of that, this person was furious when I told him what I was quoted. He told me they charge so much because of his car, insurance etc... I didn't have an issue with the $150 (although it took 5 mins). I do have an issue with the guy who showed up, charging me an extra $90. The tech who came to the house was super scary. I gave him the money because I definitely thought he was unhinged. read more

Itamar came as scheduled and couldn't be happier with his work. We recently moved into a new home and instead of buying new locks, we asked him to rekey our existing locks. He rekeyed them, lubricated the locks, and is perfect. He knows his stuff and is clean too. For anyone looking for a reliable, very reasonably priced, and on-time locksmith, Chiko's Locksmith is the place to call. I am not a spokesperson, but a very happy customer :) read more

I called Chiko's about 7:20PM on a Saturday. My door had gotten stuck closed with me on the outside and my partner on the inside. There was a locksmith, Mike, at my house before 7:45. He actually dropped a job when he found out I was locked out! Mike was clear about pricing and very quick. I was in my house in moments. Once I was in he returned to the dropped job. However he came back the same night and replaced the knobs. All told it was under $300. I will definitely call Chiko's if I need a locksmith again. read more

I needed same-day locksmith services and Chiko did not disappoint. Reasonable, prompt and professional. He completed the work quickly, prices were reasonable and I even got a Yelp discount. Again, Chiko was professional and I would absolutely recommend his services, for anyone in the DMV area. Sincere, honest folks aren't always easy to come by - thanks Chiko for being so awesome and going above and beyond! read more

Called up Chiko's on Thursday, and Itamar answered and came out the next day. My schedule for that day was all over the place, but Itamar kept in touch with me through text and we made it work pretty easily. I think when a company gives you a window - thats nice, but being able to run errands and text with the person who is actually coming is much easier and gives you much more flexibility. He came when he said he would, and replaced one lock, and rekeyed another. I had people doing some work in my place while he was there, so I couldn't be inside while he worked, and instead shadowed him - which I thought would be annoying so I said I can leave him alone but I just can't be inside - he was extremely kind, and he talked me through everything he was doing. We talked about a lot of things and I feel like I got my locks changed and made a friend in the process. I wouldn't use any other service if I needed a locksmith. Thank you Itamar! read more

I want to thank Itamar for coming to my business very last minute to change our locks. I called and he arrived to my business within a few hours. Itamar called prior to coming and also alerted me to his arrival. Good communication. He finished re-keying 5 commercial doors for my business sooner than promised, lubricated them and had me test each door and new key. Good customer service. What impressed me most about this company is how quickly they were able to dispatch Itamar, and then Itamar was such a pleasant gentleman to be around. This is a company you can trust. Thank you! read more

Chiko's installed a new lock when I moved into a new place. Not even 4 years later the lock Chiko's installed malfuntioned and I couldn't get my key out of the lock. Upon calling to have it repaired, the tech quoted $700 to replace the lock. When I called to speak with the owner, he said there are no set prices for the lock replacement and the tech determines the price for each job. The tech then stormed out leaving me with a big hole in my door where the lock was. I've never experienced anything so unprofessional. I found another locksmith who did the job for under $200. Needless to say I will never call Chiko's again, nor refer anyone to them. I will be sure to share my experience with those near and dear as well. read more

Chiko came to my home nearly an hour away from where he was located to change four door locks in 45 minutes. He was reliable and professional within his work in locksmiths.

Chiko changed the door lock and deadbolt to my front door, door lock/door knob to my garage door, bathroom lock door as well as bedroom door.

I called some 800 number as I was locked out of my new house and they sent Chiko. He came in a professional looking van, worked out the problem very quickly without damaging the new door. I asked him to look at other locks in the new house as I wanted to change them. He seemed very knowlegeable and gave me a lot of information about the locks. He spent a lot of time answering my questions. I hired him to come in a few days and replace five locks. I did not go for the most expensive option but I believe that safety is very important and paid a lot of money to have the whole house rekeyed. He cleaned up all the trash after himself, too, which was helpful. I will definitely use him again in the future to replace batteries on the electronic lock, etc. read more
