Big mess with minivan keys. Chip key is lost, one fob split in half and the metal "key" got lost…read more Third worked as a chip key but the fob part didn't. Result: one barely functional key. Messaged or called several locksmiths. This one could come most quickly. Prices were pretty similar. Communication was excellent. Always let me know what was up, when he could come, texted 20 min before arrival, etc. Showed up on time. Took a little while to re-key, but he noted he would make all keys perfectly functional. And he did. Would call this key service again. Did a good job. Price was reasonable. Recommend.

This company flat out deceived us. I was told $75 to 95 per lock to rekey 2 locks over the phone so…read moremade an appointment. They ended up charging nearly $700 and the invoice had no amounts listed for each task which is deceiving. I fell for those glowing albeit suspicious 5 star reviews that overshadow the negative ones. Make sure they tell you the prices up front. Had I known all the other charges they added after they got here, I would have never booked them. I love supporting local businesses, but not ones that knowingly take advantage of people by not being upfront with costs so we can make an informed decision. No mention of any other fees when I made the appointment. I called several other locksmiths after to check and sent pictures and was not quoted more than $200 to $250 all in for what they charged nearly $700 for. They took advantage. I now notice they arent BBB accredited and I understand why bc that requires a company to "operate honestly and with integrity" along with 8 other standards and when you bait and switch people that wouldn't be possible.

I needed extra FOBS for my car. Technician showed up and programmed two FOBS. After programming,…read morethe technician said that he is not able to cut the entry key that is part of the FOB and then gave me an excuse that he provides the FOB, not the key. The entry key is part of the FOB and an important part of a working FOB. He told me that I now need to go to a dealer to have the keys cut which means extra time and money. I will never use this service again and would recommend others find a place that actually completes the work correctly.

Check keys and locks before leaving. Reasonable pricing. Polite and courteous. Feeling safe now that the locks have been re-keyed that included my patio door which is a bonus since not one handyman I called responded. AN unauthorized person gained access to my spare keys, that I thought were safe at my Parent's home. Used those keys to come into my home while I was away and remove items that was not theirs. Thank you again for making my home again a safe place. Be careful that your spare keys are truly secure and safe whether it be family, friend or neighbor.

Robert was in touch with me and quickly/efficiently set me up with a new keyfob. He was extremely nice, professional and knowledgeable.

Great experience and would do business again!

I sent out a free estimate request via Yelp and received far too many responses…read more My primary, evidently probable Yelp Elite and Yelp All-Star review are based on Yelp and my communication with the owner Shay. Perhaps he is of Irish heritage, I never had the opportunity to find out 1) I have seen over 300 photographs of his work This man is the very BEST if you are only looking for a handyman or have no assistance from even an essentially useless husband in the paint or a long hair clogged shower drain 2) Shay is a LIAR I appreciate that he was willing to drive out to The suburbs of Chicago from all the way East in Logan Square His estimate is NOT free as Yelp guaranteed He requires photographs (easy peasy) of the locks as well as *$45* to even come out to take a look He broke the Yelp Guarantee right there Chicago Locksmiths should be banned from Yelp same as nobody should have voted for Trump. There were zero good choices but at least ond was NOT a babbling dementia suffering 90 yeat old 3) Shay claims the his primary concern is home and auto safety If that were actually true then with photos in hand he has zero reason to have a $45 fee to take a look I have zero reason to take issue with Shay - especially his quality of work All that I know is that Shay LIED to Yelp in order to gain business and if that works for him, then I do not give a fxck I shall not be used I have Elite and All-Star status that I EARNED with Yelp and followers Every single one of my Yelp reviews are shared with Google I sincerely hope that my review discourages anybody and everybody from hiring Chicago Locksmiths
