Laurel's Lock Shop is a super-reliable, friendly neighborhood business. Dianne is super friendly and she came out to my mom's house on a holiday to change three doorknobs, re-key two deadbolts and one lock. It only took her about a half hour and she did it all for a totally reasonable price. She's got all her tools and machines in her minivan so she can take care of everything on the spot. If you need anything for your locks and doorknobs, call Dianne at Laurel's Lock Shop! read more

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. I arrived at the shop at 5:40 PM on a Monday to have a key made for my Mazda CX-30. Upon arrival, I was told that I could not have my key made because the lady who works there was meeting with family soon and she wouldn't be able to stay and resolve my issues, despite having spoken with my wife about the fact that I was arriving when I did AND her hours posted said that she worked until 6 PM. She never mentioned to my wife that she had to leave early, and I was made even more frustrated when, after I was told that she would have to leave early, she proceeded to stay around the property and chat with someone she had just had in her building and her driver right outside her entrance. It is evident by the amount of positive reviews I see for this business that I am clearly in the minority, but what I experienced today was terrible customer service and a gross lack of communication between business and client. I felt dismissed and disrespected, and would not recommend this business for anyone looking to have a key made. Go to an authorized dealer, you might spend more, but you won't have to put up with the terrible customer service I just experienced today. read more

Similar experience as Chris. G. below. Showed up during posted hours, but they were closed. Showed up several days later. Someone was their but couldn't come to the door (for some reason). She asks me if I could wait, but then proclaims she needs to leave very soon and wouldn't have time to help me with a key fob. Told her I wouldn't return again as this was already the second attempt. read more

Got a key stuck in the lock. All the normal DIY techniques- pressing the cap, aligning the cylinder, presenting a sacred ianual to Janus God of Doorways- had failed to get it loose. Blindly yanking on it with pliers seemed like a great way to make things worse, so I took the knob off the door and went looking for a professional.. Diana didn't just get the key out, she explained WHY all the normal techniques failed (it's a quirk of the brand/design). And suggested ways to keep it from happening again. She was also super-COVID-safe. She met me outside her storefront, and kept six feet away as much as possible. Nobody ever WANTS to seek out a locksmith, especially on a three-day weekend, but if you do need one you should call Diana. She'll treat you like people. read more

Very responsive, competent and educational. Extremely fairly priced. Would happily have her do any other lock work I may need! PS- She charged LESS than the estimate as my job was a little less involved than originally thought read more

You'll receive great service and the prices are low. They aren't sitting around in the office all day, so I suggest you call before you go. They make emergency visits & house calls. I know because someone once came to my house to make keys. Recently, I needed an expressive car key replaced, and it was done in minutes and at a cost far less than the dealership would charge. Customer service & accuracy are important. The keys are never cut wrong. They always work! read more

Laurel's Lock Shop - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Excellent service. They even came to my residence more than once after I messed up on the date. I'd recommend this business. The ONLY thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is the fact that the pricing fluctuated during installation without first giving me a breakdown of the charges. Granted, while installing the locks I was told things like "a screw is missing" or "this lock gets a bit stuck" and even that one of the knobs was actually broken and needed to be replaced but I didn't realize at the end it would cost close to $300 when all was said and done. While I cannot fully blame them since I agreed to fix what they mentioned and assumed most were minor issues, just make sure that after getting a price quote over the phone, you ask for the charges again during installation if something comes up. Even if it seems minor, it can quickly balloon the fee. read more

GREAT service, great prices, great work! You'll need to call first, because they are often out on the road doing jobs, because they are just that good, and in demand. got motorcycle keys, and they even have the difficult to find third party TRUNK keys. Now I have the spare I always wanted. Work was done faster than I've ever seen anyone make keys. I needed some other work done, and though busy with onsite jobs, made early evening times for me to stop in after work. You just can't beat that for service. read more

Only used them twice (rekey home lock and make additional key copies) and had great service. Fast and efficient. Only suggestion is if you plan to go to the store location to call first. They aren't always in store and may be attending to an offsite call. Very pleasant. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Basically kept giving me the run around an entire day saying she'd make my key only to continue saying she didn't get to it. She tried to say it's because I gave her the information late but then said she'd be at the shop between 5-7. I arrived at 6 only for her to tell me she hasn't even started it & was leaving the shop in 15 mins & that she will "try" to do it But was going out of town so wasn't sure & she mentioned honestly making her money on doing remote services rather than in shop so if you need a simple key made and go to the shop or your job isn't a few hundred just know you will NOT BE VALUED AS A CUSTOMER. I went elsewhere to get my key made which was WAY lower than her price anyway. Very frustrating. Note to owner: if you don't value business let it be known upfront rather than having someone rely on you. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE & absolutely no value for her customers or business unless it makes her enough money. read more

I was rekeying my home locks and accidentally sprung the last cylinder. No locksmith I tried calling was open. Finally, I called Laurel's to see if they could help repair it. I was told, of course! A quick drive over and the owner was super helpful in showing me where I screwed up. She reset the lock and finished the rekey in about five minutes, no charge. Super helpful and friendly and they will be on my recommendation list to anyone who asks. read more

If you've had the misfortune of a lock out, do not hesitate to use this company! I could not have asked for a better experience. I just have a key fob, that supposedly will not lock itself inside the car... however today, after never having an issue for 2 years, it decided to play games I guess... "I" locked my keys, wallet and phone in my running car this morning and Diana was here within 40 minutes to the rescue! She was beyond kind and extremely fast. It took her all of maybe 7 minutes to make me a manual key and be on her way. For an emergency on Sunday morning, I was shocked at the low cost for her service. I will definitely use this service again if need be. read more

Couldn't recommend this place enough.. Diana gets the job done for your car keys copied (with sensors).. Yeah the house smells like smoke, which isn't pleasant, but the cat is really friendly and will take your mind off that. The only car she told me she can't replicate keys for is a Benz, but other than that if you need to make a spare key of your car, bring it here! Her prices will surely beat your dealership or even Home Depot (who won't even do this right, I've heard horror stories of people trying to get this done at Home Depot) I dropped in to get a copy of my spare key of my 2001 Lexus RX 300 (my original key broke and I lost the actual key but still had the remote censor) This is normally a pretty risky practice I hear because you want to have the original key if you want to get it copied so it will be more precise, but Diana didn't fail me. She took her time as I realized it isn't easy what she was doing, but after about 15 minutes she got the job done. She won't let you leave the place unless she knows it will work as she went out to my car in the rain and tested it herself several times to make sure it worked. This was for $50, which believe me is cheap for this kind of work. Last thing about this place that is great is the hours. I would normally have to leave work early to go to a place like this, but I'm pretty sure she stays open until 10 pm on week nights, making it really convenient for me to come by after work. read more

Very quick and efficient couple. I locked myself out and felt so embarrassed, but they came to my rescue and we're just incredibly personable and took no time at all to open up my car. And did no damage! Very thankful to have come across them. read more

I've used this shop numerous times and they have always been quick, friendly, and helpful. Call before you go because their hours are off and on, but they do good work and are very nice. It's the only locksmith that I will go to in the DC metropolitan region. read more

Diane is great. Fast and efficient. Fix my car key and made a copy. Cost was half a quote I got from another locksmith.

Great service with making a Acura key that had to be programmed to the car. Highly recommended

Fast, efficient, and friendly. She had my keys cut and programmed in a matter of minutes. Great prices as well!

Many thanks to Diana! She's super knowledgeable and so helpful. In the day of the superstore, it's so nice and appreciated to work with a small, local business that is skilled, experienced, and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Very prompt & friendly service! It took no time at all and I highly recommend Laurel's Lock shop.

I just had two keys to my car programmed for $75.00. The dealership wanted 110.00 for ONE! And I would have to leave the car for a couple of hours, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! Not only did Diana program 2 keys in 15 min but she did it on a Sunday when they were closed. Need less to say THEY HAVE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE! Thanks again Diana Gregg S read more

I locked myself out of my house in the middle of a rain storm, ugh! I called Laurel's Lock Shop and spoke to Diana. She gave me a 20 minute ETA time and arrived promptly within the time frame. I was back inside of my house in less than 45 minutes. Thank you Diana and team for the prompt and friendly service! I appreciate the great customer service. :-) read more

This team is a delight to deal with. The prices are fair and they went above and beyond every expectation that I had when I lost my one and only car key. They are honest and fair and have gained a loyal customer. read more

Should have called them first! My neighbor recommended Laurel's Lock Shop for repairs to some antique door hardware we had in common. I decided to call another locksmith to come look at my situation. After two and a half hours(and charging me for those hours) - the locksmith couldn't resolve the issue and suggested I just replace the antique with new hardware. That night I called Laurel's Lock Shop and they agreed to come take a look at my door when they had a chance (I don't live close) They called me the next day and made arrangements to meet me. After 30 min, they had my door working again. They were very easy to work with and knowledgeable about the hardware. They took the time to explain what they did and what I needed to do if the issue comes back All in all - highly recommended !! read more

Just moved into a new home and needed to have two locks changed. Even though it wasn't an emergency, I was able to get a same day appointment. Very friendly with extremely reasonable pricing. Definitely recommend. read more

Great service, I stopped by the shop in the morning to have my keyless fob which I purchased online programmed. The lady in the shop did it in less than 10 minutes and charged for only $45.00. read more

Diane strikes again!!! I seriously cannot rave enough about this wonderful, hard working human being. I seriously, if it wasn't creepy, would give her a hug every time I utilize her services. She changed out my door lock to a regular knob. I'm moving in a crunch and waited very last minute to do last minute alterations to the house. She came an hour early than she quoted and was done doing the job in less than 10min. I'm so busy, I allowed her to lead herself around my house to change out the locks. She quoted me but honestly, I wasn't even listening bc I knew she would give me not only a fair price but a discount. And looking at the transaction statement, she sure did both, again. I keep saying for girls to utilize her services bc it really is comforting to have her take care of things without judgement. When I was on the phone with her, I was describing what I needed and I feel like other ppl would've either not understood or belittled me but Diane basically told me in a nutshell that she will take a look at it and do what she can. She told me cheaper alternatives and what she can do to better it all. She even gave me the option to synchronize all my keys. If you read this Diane, I love you and thank you. Coming from a young adult, adulting all by myself in this dog eat dog world; thank you. read more

This place is awesome and so cheap, easy and quick. I drove with a broken taped key for 2 weeks just because I couldn't bring myself to pay the dealer $225 for a new one. So glad I did my research online and found this place. In and out in less than half and hour and under $100! read more

Best Shop around the area very friendly fast respond and have they all the equipment to make any programble key for any car. Price very reasonbable Would Recomend to anyone Definatly would come back for any key and locks needs. Thanks Diane for helping me with my Volskwagen key RafaelG. read more

Memorial Day Weekend and what do I do? Lose the keys to my new (to me) motorcycle naturally. Huge bummer to think I can't ride my new bike on MDW!! After trashing my home and car I begin accepting they're gone. I called dealerships, recited VIN numbers, searched for key codes... to no avail. I turned my attention to locksmiths, most of which were either not open for business on the holiday weekend or refused to deal with motorcycles. Enter Laurel's Lock Shop. Diana took my case at a time no one else would and got me riding for Memorial Day Weekend. Thank you Diana! Her and her husband are well equipped in tools and know-how to solve just about any motorcycle key situation. If that's your situation, these are the experts for you. read more

The store is a little smoky, but the service and quality more than makes up for it. Diana is a pleasure to Takk to and work with it. The office cat is very friendly. My keys were done very quickly and at a great price. Their hours are a lot more flexible than any other locksmith which is a huge plus. Highly recommend! read more

Who loses their keys to their storage unit? This locksmith company was able to fit me in within an hour on a SATURDAY, but had no idea that I had such a challenging lock. They were awesome and personal AND professional! Will definitely use again!! read more

Great service, high quality, very knowledgeable at a fair price. This place is a gem. My favorite locksmiths.

Don't let appearances fool you, this place is great. The locksmith lady helped us cut and program keys for our car (we purchased blanks from a large online vendor). She successfully troubleshooted an issue with one of the blank keys and had us on our way in no time. The prices are extremely reasonable. read more

Nice people, skilled, reasonable price, came out quickly during an emergency call.

Wonderful service from the second I called. The owner was extremely helpful and tried to help me so I could spend the least amount possible. She corrected the mistake that another locksmith company left us with in the matter of 5 minutes and charged us $45 for something they charged us $165 for. They will be my new go to for any locksmith situation. Highly recommend them! read more

Dianne and Bill are absolutely amazing. They fixed my locks in less than 45 minutes. They are both very knowledgeable and very friendly. They have a lifetime customer and I highly recommend them. Thank you both again. read more
