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.

First time ever locking myself out of the house. Bummer. I called Chiko's to get into the house…read more 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.

At 11:19 a.m., the technician, Israel (443-218-2637), called me. He provided a price quote and an estimated arrival window. He arrived within that stated time. When he arrived, I was unable to locate the key. He advised that he could still complete the job. He removed the lock from my door and stated that he would return within 30 minutes. By 3:00 p.m., he had not returned. At 3:41 p.m., I contacted Israel. He stated that he was in traffic and had to go to two other locations but would return in 30 minutes. After that call, he did not return and did not answer additional calls. I then contacted A1 Affordable Locksmith and was told that a manager would return my call. I called again at 6:39 p.m. and was given the same response. At 7:12 p.m., I contacted Israel and informed him that I no longer wanted his services and requested that he return my lock. He stated that he had taken another job and was 13 miles away. After additional unsuccessful attempts to resolve the matter, I informed Israel that I would contact the police. He responded that this would not be necessary. I then contacted Anne Arundel Police, who documented the incident and contacted Israel directly. Israel returned to my residence at 9:09 p.m. He stated that traffic and other jobs caused the delay and offered a partial apology. As a result of this situation, my home was left unsecured for several hours. I was without my lock for most of the day, and I had to involve law enforcement to resolve the matter. This experience was unprofessional and unacceptable.!!!! I am requesting that this matter be reviewed and addressed appropriately. No customer should be left without a secured door for this length of time.
