I recommend you call ahead and ask directly, wherever you decide to go.

But I've walked in the door three times in the past few years, and I've gotten crappy customer service, unprofessional behavior, inefficiency, and even sarcasm from some dude who always seems to be hanging around the lobby. This time, I didn't even bother to explain the job. I just walked out, never to return. It's their loss because each time I've had a pretty big job that I needed completed...not just a cheapo key duplication. This is my third and last visit. I'm going to their competition--again--City Wide Locksmithing, 20 blocks north in Columbia Heights. I don't get it. They've been in the same area for years. And they have several employees and several vehicles. I don't know how they pay the bills. -Daddy Maxx Retro

Eddy was very friendly, provided expert advice, and installed the lock with utmost professionalism. We had agreed he'd show up at 9:00am, but just prior to that he called to say he was running about 18 minutes late which was a nice touch. He was there in 17 minutes and set to work. The lock was installed and fully functional in no time even though the existing hole in the door had to be expanded. He provided excellent recommendation for the lock and several helpful tips about how to keep the lock working well for years to come. All this for a price that seemed very fair. I'd happily engage Fast Eddy for any lock/key related issues. Highly recommended!

Specifically chose this locksmith because a friend of mine works there. However on the day I…read morevisited he was out. The two locksmiths who assisted me were generous with their time and suggestions. I needed a couple of keys copied, but the clinker was the skeleton key I needed for a building that is 110+ years old. Copying the keys was easy, but the skeleton key was more difficult. Instead of selling me a couple of keys which may or may not have worked back at home the locksmith suggested I pull the lock from the door and bring it in so they could find an exact duplicate to the key. He explained there were thousands of options for skeleton keys and wanted to be sure they had something that worked. I appreciate the honesty and suggestion as a previous purchase of a key from a larger hardware store establishment failed because the key failed to operate the lock. I have another lock that needs to be reassembled or replaced and will rely on their expertise for assistance. Even though the bus ride from my home in north Minneapolis to their south Minneapolis location is lengthy it was worth the trip. In addition to the visit here, I can stop and check out some restaurants on Nicollet Avenue. Thank you Minneapolis Lock & Key!

My husband likes to say that the river has taken three things from me this summer; my hat, my car…read morekeys, and my dignity. Well I can't get my hat or my dignity back, but I did get a great deal on a new car key. I've had a car key break (like the fob shattered in the ignition) before, so I knew what I was in store for after I lost my keys to the river. Still I did my homework and called Ford to ask about the key. Around $100 to replace the key and then $200 to reprogram it. Now I'm going to take a step out of my review to just say this to anyone who lost their car key/needs a new one. DO NOT BUY A KEY FROM THE DEALER! Go on to amazon, order a new key, and find someone (hopefully this place) that will replace it for you. I went on to amazon and bought a new key for like $50. I then called Budget Locksmith to make an appointment. It was great! They come to you first of all, which was nice. I didn't have to disrupt my daily routine too much to make this work. The service was quick, responsible, and didn't break the bank! I think I spent like $85 getting the key cut and programmed. In the end what would have cost me $300+ from the dealer was more like $150. Save the time, hassle, and money with Budget Locksmith! 49/100
