HONEST CUSTOMER REVIEW. My apt lock lock to my apartment got deeply screwed up tonight (Saturday night) and I was scrambling to find a fix. Randomly started calling locksmiths and got some outrageous prices or calls went str8 to VM. Allen at Lehman Locksmith picked up and was kind enough to give me his cell number to send him a few pics and a quick video of what I was dealing with. He called me back within five minutes, diagnosed a temporary fix over the phone so that I could get in/out until he could come by and replace the freakin lock entirely. The guy and his service is absolute pure GOLD. This is a truly honest Brooklyn neighborhood mom n pop owned small business. I cannot recommend them enough. He saved me many hours amd stress and quite a bit of money... he's worth every single penny. Super honest, super smart guy. I cannot recommend him enough 10 out of 10 stars. He makes NYC safe again. 24 hour locksmith in Brooklyn service. Allen is the man!! Thank you so much, brother! read more

Outrageously overpriced, 500 for a basic lookout during 2pm on a Friday. I would find any other locksmith for a lockout.

Want to give six stars! This place is so wonderful--the woman who works there is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and when she doesn't have something she'll tell you where to go, especially for rare parts. read more

Absurdly overpriced. Even a lock at their location is 4x what it costs at a larger store.

We hired this company almost a year ago and have been irritated ever since. They came to do the estimate in a timely manner and required upfront payment of almost $1000. Then it was pulling teeth to get them to show up to finish the install of locks in our bedroom and front external door. I had to call several times a day to get the guy Allen to show. Then whenever the guy shows, he just talks and talks and talks, including telling all these horror stories about break-ins, which seemed like an upsell tactic. And the work on the bedroom lock in particular was so poor and half assed (see photos) we've had to pay someone else to re-do it. Definitely go somewhere else! read more

Lehman Locksmiths - did not install a plate on the door frame to work with the lock, so the lock has never worked well. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Alan came and replaced a broken lock in my security door. He was prompt and I was amazed that he put in an exact duplicate of the original, He was friendly, courteous and did a great job. I highly recommend Alan and appreciated his tips on how to lubricate the lock so it will last longer. read more

A request to change two door locks was honored within hours by a good- natured and very professional locksmith. The new high quality locks were expensive. The labor charge was reasonable given the work involved. It was a pleasant change after years of grumpy, reluctant and slow work from another local locksmith shop. I highly recommend Lehman's. read more

i needed a copy of my VW key. Ariel came and programmed a key but the fob was defective so he had to get another which took a few days. so the process took a long time but he gave me a break on the price to make up for it and was a nice guy so in the end it all turned out great. read more

Allen is the best -- nothing beats local. A nice supply of tools and materials. We bought a sled here. Great spot and service. read more

We had a very good experience with Allan from Lehman. Our job was complicated by the old age of the house and other locksmiths had warned of very high costs and multiweek delays. Allan completed it in an afternoon and at a cost half of what others had estimated. read more

I returned home from the grocery store on a sweltering afternoon to find that my lock had broken. I called up Lehman Locksmiths and Alan came within 20 min, and fixed my lock in no time (before my groceries spoiled!), and had lots of fun stories and advice to share. I had to stop by the store to pick up some keys for my new lock, and encountered a bunch of other long time customers who all raved about him. It's probably never a good thing to wind up locked out of my apartment but at least I know who to call now! read more

Alan is the best - he outfitted our home with new locks and also came to our rescue when we were locked out. Prompt, friendly, and a great business to have in the neighborhood! read more

Al came to the rescue! Super sweet, on time, & did the job perfectly. Highly recommend.

We needed someone in a hurry. Allen came and did a perfect job installing a deadbolt lock. He was such a charming person. Highly recommend.

This company was replacing a door immediately next to my place of business. I asked them early on to please do something to avoid their sawdust blowing into my bakery. Every time the door opens with customers coming in, I've got a cloud of sawdust blowing in my door. I asked nicely, twice, if they could please use measures to contain the dust ie: maybe plastic sheeting, or do their sawing away from my door out by the curb. The owner was extremely nasty. As one local business owner to another, this is completely unacceptable. read more

Excellent neighborhood hardware store/ locksmith. I come in here to grab stuff or get keys cut all the time. Been going to them for nearly 15 years. Al is fantastic and the whole staff is super nice and knowledgeable. read more

I called Lehman after losing a key. The locksmith told me that he had to replace two locks and quoted me the price for each. He pressured me to answer him quickly, and tried to upsell me to change another set of locks. When he came back to the apartment from the wholesale store, he replaced four locks, didn't explain the change to my husband and what I had expected to be a $400 bill became $762. Make sure you go over every aspect of the projected cost before starting work. read more

There are no hours posted on the front door. At all. The hours on the internet say 7 days a week, 9am-5pm. It's 10am on a Saturday and they're closed. Shutters down, lights off. Have no idea when they'll open, if at all. read more

I was happy with Allen's work and he's very nice but when he quoted me for the job he gave me the cost of the lock and told me it would be a $55 fee to come out but forgot to mention the $150 additional labor charge. This was a job I arranged for my boss and the unexpected charge on top of an already expensive product is now reflecting badly on my work. read more

Lehman Locksmiths in Windsor Terrace score high in every category - they are super competent, professional, and friendly. They are also very reasonably priced. read more

I called Lehman at approximately 9:00 am and they came right out and changed two locks for me. Alan, was very professional and while he worked we talked about kindness of people. Alan brought three options that may fit my needs and I chose two of the three. Alan didn't try to convince me to purchase anything I didn't need and what would be suggested as the best interest for me and my family. I feel more safer in my apartment and recommend Lehman Locksmiths. read more

Alan set up a home appointment at our new place and was super-knowledgeable and helpful. Installed 2 multi-locks, removed out-dated window locks, and talked about window gates with us. read more

Alan did a great job fixing our front door lock and went out of his way to find the proper replacement. He gave me a fair price for the work and was super friendly and professional. Would definitely use Lehman Locksmith again! read more

Alan went above and beyond with his timely, professional installation of our new lock. he was a pleasure to speak with during the lock replacement. Excellent service - extremely gracious and cognizant of keeping his mask on and ample space between us while we spoke. I look forward to the next time I need his help! read more

This company is absolutely terrible! They ripped off my roommate and I because he took advantage of us being two young girls. After getting locked out of my apartment with no phone or anyone to call we called the locksmith from our neighbors flip phone and we couldn't get a connection but just kept repeating our address after finally getting some help the locksmith pulled up and we went to go talk to him because we wanted to cancel the service but had no way of letting him know even though we mentioned it on the phone. Next this man made me climb into his van and he told me terrible stories about his daughter being abused by her boyfriend and this was what I was hearing as he drove me to the bank and forced me to pull out $210 for canceling the service. This company is disgusting and I could never EVER recommend you call them. Don't even think about trying to cancel so just be aware of these people and stay safe guys! read more

I always opt to go to a local business and the kind of service provided by Alan Lehman shows why my policy is correct. I have lived in Windsor Terrace for 19 years and fortunately only needed locksmith services three times. Each time he has responded promptly and the job was done with skill and efficiency at a fair price. I have heard some horror stories of people needing a locksmith in an emergency and being gouged. That sort of thing will never happen if you call Alan read more

Alan did a great job with my new locks - gave me some good suggestions as far as which locks really needed to be replaced and others that were not really necessary. Took his time which I think is important. In the past I have had locks changed and they often do a super quick job but sloppy - fit is not right and they just end up having to come back because lock sticks or wasn't installed correctly. read more

Overcharged for locks, terrible service and then the owner took the old brass locks from our home with out asking. Do not let these people in your home!!! read more

Avoid at all costs. Showed up late and charged me over $400 for a lockout. Didn't have a working credit card machine so made me go get cash. Rude staff. read more

The owner, Allen, assaulted me. I run a retail business across the street from this locksmith. In March 2015 we paid $210 to have our lock replaced by Allen who swore it was an excellent lock and wrote on the receipt that it was covered by a 10 year warranty. Today as a customer exited the door slammed, the lock engaged, and our employees were locked inside and our customers locked out. I called Lehman and was told it would be 20 minutes, but it was in fact an hour before they arrived. I can live with that. However, when he handed me the bill this time for $180 I showed him the receipt with the 10 year warranty. He said since I didn't oil the lock monthly that it was my fault. I told him I was never told to oil the lock, that I've never oiled any of my door locks, that it had only been 9 months since the lock failed and that it was unacceptable for him not to honor the warranty. He said it was common sense to oil the lock. He demanded payment immediately. I refused to pay him on the spot adding that he would be paid, but not until later. I told him to leave my store at which point he shoved me and said "you think you're a wise guy?". He then called the police. When they arrived I explained what happened and Allen left without being paid. I will NEVER use this guy again. read more

I looked them up on www.mul-t-lock.com. I needed to make a copy of a key and you have to present a card to go along with it in order to make a copy. I called in advance because I didn't want to waste any more time since I called other locations and they were either closed and not opening up until Monday or the other locations didn't have my specific key #248 in stock. When I called I spoke to Allen and he called over a female worker to check if they had the key before I went. He said yes come in we have it we are open until 4PM. I said thanks but I'm on my way now. I needed this copy for my business so I needed it done ASAP. I pulled up to the location double parked walked in said "Hi Allen it was me you spoke to over the phone" dropped off the key and card, and told him I was going to be right back I have to look for parking. He said that his worker was going to take care of it. I walk in after getting parking and grabbing a cup of coffee and a bagel across the street to buy some time to walk in and be told by a female worker that they didn't have my key. Its a small business and she was the only other person working there how can you not know whats going on. Then she asks me whats the key for an apartment? I didn't say anything but who cares what the key is for. I just left frustrated for wasting my time going there. I don't recommend this establishment. read more

Do not go here. They will try to rip you off. They sold us a $20 basic sled which cracked and broke the first time my 30 lb 6 year old sat on it. We tried to return it and the woman at the desk started screaming and tried to lock us in the store! She refused to let us have a new sled even though it probably cost them $4 to get these in bulk. We then called the manager who also refused, saying they couldn't return it. THEN, the screaming lady followed us out the door and began screaming at us down the street. These people have some serious issues....do not go here!!!! read more
