    2023 Chevy Suburban Key
    Ashley V.

    I needed a spare key for my 2023 Chevy suburban. I called the dealer and they wanted a lot not to mention they told me the wait til would be several hours at the dealership. So I called Howard Safe & Lock, and they were extremely friendly and helpful over the phone. They quoted me two prices different prices, one to come to me and one price for me to go to their shop which I appreciated since I was not looking to spend a ton of money! I decided to go to them because the cost was cheaper and they were able to get it done within 30 minutes. I was beyond happy with how FAST, AFFORDABLE, and professional they were. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend to anyone who is in need of a locksmith!

    $129.90 to install my Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt
    Rose P.

    Last year: After researching Wi-Fi locks and paying $250 at L*we's for a high-rated one, my thought? How do I install this thing? Tried...too complicated for me. Nope. Not doing it. Read reviews for several locksmiths and chose Howard Safe & Lock to come out to do the work for me. Service: took less than 10 minutes Cost: $129.90 I am not complaining because this was a "want" purchase, not a need. For me, it was worth every penny. The locksmith came out--maybe not on time, but he did show on the day scheduled. He didn't talk much, but that didn't bother me. The lock was installed smoothly and quickly. In two words: I'm pleased

    I walked in to get a key made and they helped me right away. They were fast, professional, and extremely nice. I would recommend this small business to anyone.

    You know how much of a pain in the butt it is to try and get a spare key for a freaking Infiniti? It's a whole lotta pain in the butt!! I called a couple of local infiniti dealerships to ask them how much it would cost just to cut and program a new key fob and both places told me that they couldn't just cut and program a key fob that I'm providing; but instead, I'd have to buy the key fob from them that they will program for me. The cost? Well over $350 FOR ONE!!! Thanks, but no thanks! So what did I do? Step 1: Buy new key fobs from eBay. Cost? $120 for two key fobs. Step 2: Use Yelp to get quotes from multiple locksmiths with stellar ratings. Step 3: Win. Howard Safe & Lock was one of several locksmiths I'd sent a message to through Yelp. Although all the locksmiths impressively replied to me within five minutes (seriously!!!) I decided to go to Howard Safe & Lock. Why? (1) Lowest cost if I were to come in to their shop but not to have them come out to me. Although the next lowest was only about $15 (per key) more to have them come out to me, Howard Safe & Lock is pretty conveniently located from my work and is within walking distance to Hughie's Heights and Fusion Taco so I figured I could stop by here when I'm doing lunch. (2) They have stellar five stars rating from 27 reviews on Yelp and 4.8 stars rating on Google from 77 reviews. Although the other locksmith also had a excellent ratings on both Yelp and Google, the $30 savings from going to Howard would pay for my lunch. So as I was planning, I made my way out here during lunch time. When I arrived at the shop, however, I was told that the person who gave me the quote (Liran V.) was currently out and that he had the programmer for the keys with him. I was told that he'd be back in around 45 minutes. No worries, as I stated above, I was planning on having lunch anyway so I walked to Fusion Tacos to wait. When I came back to the shop, Liran still hadn't returned so I waited a bit. Not ten minutes later he came in and started working on the keys. After he had programmed and cut the new key fobs, he asked me to go ahead and test them out. I did to make sure that the key fobs will remotely lock and unlock the doors and to open the trunk as well. No problems there. And then I tried the key to manually lock and unlock the glove box - no go here. So I went back inside and told Liran and he quickly fixed the issue. Once I was satisfied with my new key fobs, then I proceeded to pay for programming and cutting. After everything's said and done, I have two spare key fobs for less than the cost of one from the dealership!! So if you're in need of an excellent locksmith, definitely give Howard Lock & Safe a chance to compete for your business. I'm definitely glad I did.

    New key fob!

    Quoted me almost $100 more than the other locksmith I called. I would recommend calling around before selecting this place

    This is the best place to go if you need a key made. Do not go to Home Depot or Lowe's. They rarely work.

    Man ! These people are outstanding they gave me a great price & came to my aid when I locked myself…read moreout my car ! They were so helpful and swift getting me into my car I highly highly recommend this company if your ever locked out !!!

    We were quoted a price $150-180.00 to change out two locks on our house, and one on the patio gate…read more The work was completed and we were presented with a bill for $525. The technician did not tell us or discuss any changes or special needs, much less any reason to charge so much more than quoted. I do not recommend this locksmith. If the technician would have told us the changes needed ahead of time, we would not have agreed to the work. It was for more than double the original estimate. This company is not honest or trustworthy. When I called to talk to the owner, she began talking over me and ultimately yelling at me. I told her I was going to post about the incident and her response was to threaten to sue me to protect her company. I am editing my review after reading the response to my post. When I told the owner that I would post about her business she said, "we will sue you" and said, quote, "we know where you live." She also said, "we will use your text in court." I hope she does!!! If you choose to do business with these folks, Just make sure you get a firm price and watch the work being done. They do not discuss changes BEFORE they are made and then you are surprised with a bill that is more than double the estimate. If you try to talk about it with the owner, she does not listen, talks over you, yells, and then says, "I am a Christian". As if that statement explains her poor behavior. I am happy to pay for services rendered. I just want to know what they are BEFORE I am charged!!!! Normal business practice!!! I only warning people! So for the owner who threatened to sue me, BRING IT!!!!
