Fast work, arrived exactly when he said he would and offered the best price. Immediate response and exact price offered for service rendered up front. Friendly service to boot! read more

Cory was professional and extremely communicative. He was flexible with scheduling when I didn't have all the parts needed as expected by the original install date. He helped install a Yale Assure smart lock that was a bit tricky in an old legacy door that had a Baldwin Evolve previously. I definitely appreciated his punctuality, fair pricing, efficient work, and prompt communication via Yelp messaging (vs most businesses who enable Yelp messaging but just ask you to call them ha!) read more

Cory at Keynnections was fantastic to work with. He was fast, friendly, efficient, professional, and honest from start to finish. He explained everything he was doing and made sure I understood the process, which I really appreciated. He quoted the price up front -- and it was lower than most competitors I contacted -- and he completed high-quality work at exactly the price quoted with no surprises. It's refreshing to find someone so reliable and straightforward. I would absolutely recommend Cory and Keynnections to anyone needing a locksmith! read more

Cory responded quick and came within an hour. Reprogrammed my old OEM key since the aftermarket I had stopped working. Now the OEM works perfect and the aftermarket is work but just as a back up. Definitely recommend him to anyone I know. read more

Very quick to answer!!! Extremely helpful!! Very determined to get the extra fob made for my daughter's car! The one I bought from Amazon didn't work but thank goodness he had some extras in his work van. The value of his work is exceptional and I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs keys made! Very professional and friendly! He was quick to come over and that was such a winner to me! read more

Professional, friendly, and prompt service! Asked the right questions before accepting the job and came prepared. Would highly recommend.

We've been in need of replacing our locks for a while, but the door knob breaking was the final straw to finding a locksmith. I reached out to multiple locksmiths through Yelp, but was most impressed by Keynnections. Cory was extremely communicative. He was highly responsive and offered great recommendations. He also provided one of the most competitive quotes. I appreciated his responsiveness, so decided to go with him! He was available immediately. He had to arrive a little behind schedule from our determined time, but again, was highly communicative about his timing. He did a great job replacing our smart locks and we love them! He made the process extremely smooth and we'd recommend his services to anyone! read more

Super helpful service. The technician was very quick to respond and arrive at my location. He was able to get my keys out and was well worth the money. read more

CJ was great. He came to my home to replace my car key fob. While here, we had good conversation and I like his accent. The whole experience was fairly quick. His price was as quoted. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of his service. read more

Was not available on a Friday. Called Friday afternoon for an urgent rekey, but was told they are not available that day. Update: A minute or two after posting this review, the person calls complaining about the review. Here is the business hours posted on Yelp: Friday 10:00 AM - 2:00 AM If the business is closed after 5pm, business should correct hours on Yelp. read more

Came to re-key locks. Turned out the locks were very old which made the job tricky. He easily could have said they needed to be replaced, but instead he took them apart and forced them. A master locksmith. Extremely knowledgeable, tackles any challenge. Polite and engaging. Reasonable/low cost. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Corey was the best! my mom lost her key one day, her only key, I called him at like 6:00 p.m. and he was there in 15 minutes. He had the lowest prices compared to the three other places I called by a large difference and was able to get into the car and program her a new key surprisingly fast. Also his professionalism and courteousness taking the time explaining everything to my mother and answering all her questions and concerns was very much appreciated in that situation. Definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone! read more

Very quick and useful responses. Provided availability and estimate as requested. Reasonable pricing. Cory was very accommodating. He came out to install a smart lock, however, the lock has a defect and wouldn't attach to the door properly. He waited a couple of days while I returned the lock and got a replacement through Amazon. Once I received it, I messaged Cory and he arrived within an hour or so to do the installation. He did a great job with the installation and was patient while I connected to the lock with the app to make sure everything was working. read more

Apparently, my 3-star average review was not good enough for CJ. Lowered to 1*, as promised. This is a very disrespectful person who doesn't appreciate or even understand the value of being a professional. He is sending me threatening emails, telling me he's going to sue me for telling my story about his bait and switch policy. I have to wonder why anybody would do this, only to sabotage his own business. He was warned to not respond, yet he's so abusive, he just couldn't help himself. Use this business at your own risk. This millennial is dangerous. [See attached text of our messages and decide for yourselves!] I used Yelp's 'Projects' board to obtain a few bids for replacing a lock on a bedroom door. I picked out a Schlage lock that was nothing fancy. It was just your standard Schlage door knob. So I emailed the pic of it to each vendor and asked them to obtain the Schlage lock, add their labor, and give me a price out the door. The price of the lock was $28 and some change. It's a simple install, right? CJ at Keynnections seemed like a nice young man whom I picked for two reasons: He said he could get the Schlage doorknob I chose and with his labor, the total price out the door would be $80. Great. When CJ arrived, he immediately stated he thought *I* was going to provide the lock. I was confused because when he went out to his truck, I reread our texts. CJ said he wasn't able to come to install the lock until a couple days after we discussed the project. He then texted he had the lock. He stated 'the shop has the lock', so we made arrangements for the install the next day.. CJ ended up installing a completely different lock. It's a 'Defiant' dead bolt, which he told me was less easy for somebody to pick. He went ahead and installed that dead bolt and also provided me with three keys. Okay, not the Schlage lock I'd chosen, not what I wanted, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Late the next evening I texted him to ask him why he thought the lock was sticking, was hard to turn the key, and it made a loud 'clunk' noise opening and closing it. He didn't answer my text. The following evening, I phoned him to ask my questions again. We had a conversation where he ended up telling me to just take the strike plate completely off. Huh? I remember he used a Phillips electric screwdriver, which tightly installed the plate. I told him I don't even own a screwdriver. So I then asked if I could put WD-40 or oil on the lock so it would not stick. He said, "You could try that". End of conversation. I googled the WD-40 thing and it's a good thing I didn't do that. WD-40 attracts dirt and dust and just gunks it up. It's listed as something NEVER to do on a locking mechanism. I guess you live and learn. Skip Keynnections and hire somebody else. You're welcome. read more

See all

He had quick availability, friendly efficient service, matched price and key worked great!

I accidentally left my keys at home and locked myself out. Cory was the first to respond, and came over promptly as he was in the area on another job. He first verified my ID with some mail in the mailbox to make sure I was who I said I was, and got the lockout service completed. He was very friendly, and his pricing was great. read more

I requested a quote from Corey through Yelp and he responded quickly, answered all of my questions, and offered very reasonable pricing. I needed help opening a document safe, and he was communicative throughout the entire process and able to come out promptly. When he arrived, he was friendly and personable, and I was really impressed with how quickly he was able to open the lock. Other locksmiths quoted higher prices and said the lock couldn't be saved, but Corey opened it efficiently and was able to salvage the lock. I'll definitely be using him again for any lock-related needs and would highly recommend him. read more

Cory was great. He responded right away for my request to replace a front door lock set. He called an hour before the appointment time and asked if he could show up early, which he did.
