On the day we were moving in , our exterior door would not lock. Locksmith Philly to the rescue. Leo got absolutely everything right! Thanks for your help, patience and determination to fix our problem. I highly, highly recommend Locksmith Philly. read more

It was easy to make an appointment. Leo was on time and very kind and helpful. I felt totally taken care of and would use them again!

Giorgi (George) was great. He was flexible with his time, professional, and hard working. I will be reaching out to them in the future for all my locksmith needs in Philadelphia read more

I used Leo to change all the locks on a property I was working on and installed a lockbox for me so my contractors can gain access. He was able to do the work the same day I made the request and everything worked perfectly. Great service and pricing read more

Did these guys respond and come do the job I asked them to do? Sure. Did they royally rip me off in the process? You bet they did! I will never use these guys again. My dad has been a locksmith for 30 years and these guys should be embarrassed. The guy that came wasn't at all professional. He installed the locks but not a door plate for them to go into. The locks are all loose. And charged me a ridiculous amount for it. I'll never go here. Edit based on response from owner: if my dad lived in the state, I would have had him help me. It's not a good look to be so defensive when someone isn't happy with a service. read more

Answered my request immediately and scheduled for a visit next day. Service was completed quickly and professionally. Good price. Would definitely recommend. read more

I live in a small condo building in Rittenhouse area and we needed to have our front door hardware replaced. I called Leo at Locksmith Philly and he helped me find an appropriate replacement set that would fit our non-standard door holes, and they supplied and installed promptly. They also came back to fix an issue where the lock strike would hit a door plate when the weather got really humid (and our wooden doors expanded), and did it free of charge or much discussion. Overall, very professional and friendly, and the hardware looks great is functioning well. We are going to use them again for another project in our building. read more

This may sound strange because I'm writing a review for an old lock they couldn't fix. I writing because there are not enough reliable, honest shops out there and this is one of them. One of their locksmiths was at our house within an hour of me calling the shop. He tried to fix one of our houses original internal locks for 30-45 minutes including trying to salvage a repair after realizing out of the gate there would not be replacement parts for a mechanism from the 1970s. After putting everything back together even after I offered to do it he refused any payment despite my attempts, simply saying, "you don't owe me anything; I didn't fix anything." Really respect this professionalism. Will use them again! read more

The locksmith was very professional and on time. The lock was changed to my expectation and he cleaned up after his work.

Great work and highly responsive. Called me back right away and finished a big job in half a day.

I live in a house that is close to 100 years old. It has a lot of charm, like beautiful pocket doors and a claw foot tub, but it has quirks, too. One quirk is the lock situation. Recently I had occasion on an evening to lock the double key dead bolt on the storm door. Since I was expecting packages the next day, when I woke up the following morning, wisdom dictated that I unlock that door to facilitate delivery. The lock would not cooperate. For 3 hours I tried various tricks and trial and error. Nope. The lock would not budge and I was getting so angry and frustrated, it felt like another few turns of the key in the obstinate lock would find the key broken off and me up the creek, paddle-less. Sure, I could get in and out by using the back door, then walking through and unlocking the breeze way gate to gain egress to the street, but what the hell? That was so last ditch I was not going to do it. I Googled for 'best/cheapest locksmith Philadelphia' and found Locksmith PHILLY. By now I had resigned myself to being out $100 just so I could use my front door so I made the call. The man who answered was pleasant but sounded a little scattered. I could hear phones ringing in the background and had to remind him, after he assured me he could have someone out in under 30 minutes, that he needed my address to make that happen. I settled in with my laptop to get some work done and maybe 20 minutes later saw a work truck pull up and a young man get out, approach my house and then open the storm door. WHAT?! I got up immediately and after going to the foyer, I saw the locksmith outside, casually opening and closing my previously stuck and locked storm door. I greeted him and asked what magic he'd performed. He smiled and said, "It was just stuck. It's fine now." After swearing to him that this was not a prank call and I'd worked on the flipping thing for 3 hours before I called for help, he said not to worry. I took out a 20 dollar bill, handed it to him and apologized for wasting his time and insisted he take it for his trouble. He smiled again and started to walk away, saying "No charge. It's all fine," got in his truck and drove off, presumably to rescue someone with a REAL problem. I put Locksmith PHILLY in my phone immediately in case I ever have another lock snafu. Of course if that happens, I will happily pay whatever they charge me plus tip the bejeezus out of the technician. What a great business. Thanks so much Locksmith PHILLY. read more

Highly recommend. Came on time same day as my call. Repaired smart lock and the lock set in door frame. All within less than half hour. Oto was very polite and knowledgeable. read more

Very nice, honest and fast! Also, no damage to my lock getting me back into my apartment!

I have a residential entry door with a mortise lock and wanted to install a smart lock that could be controlled remotely and would also have keypad access for Airbnb guests. I was extremely overwhelmed trying to find an appropriate lock. I called Locksmith Philly and Leo talked me through my options and recommended the commercial Yale nexTouch sectional mortise lock with deadbolt, key override and Z-Wave transmitter. I had to purchase the lock myself from Woodland Building Supply, who I also highly recommend, since these are a custom order and not available at many retailers. I wanted to have the key override since this provides a back up mode of entry in case the keypad were ever to fail; it's nice to have that added peace of mind, especially with a mortise lock. The high quality commercial lock was perfect for providing Airbnb guests an easy, solid, and hassle free ability to enter the house without worrying about keys. Once I received the lock, I contacted Locksmith Philly and Leo came the same day to look at the door and give me a quote for installation. He returned to install the lock the following morning, arriving on time. These locks are a little more complicated to install than typical deadbolts, and Leo completed the installation with no problem at all. He even demonstrated how to remove the deadbolt cylinder and reinstall it should I ever need to do this in the future. They were efficient and informative, and I couldn't be happier with the quality and functionality of the lock and installation. I would certainly contact Locksmith Philly for my future needs. read more

See all

I zoned out and left my keys inside my apartment and these guys SAVED me. I was on my way to dinner with a friend and kind of a hurry and completely spaced. I called Locksmith Philly and they were super responsive and I was upset thinking I would spend a ton of money but they charged me their base rate which is $80 because I live one block away. It may be a lot but at that point it was worth it to me. I asked if I could call him back because I was hoping our building manager was nearby and could help me out he said sure no problem I am here. I called him back a little later than I had mentioned and he had just left his shop but was so nice and circled back for me. My door was unlocked within minutes! And he has square cash so it was easy, I didn't have to hunt down an ATM. Overall he was nice, friendly and helpful and i will reach out if I ever need anything locksmithed :). thank you! read more

Just moved to a new place and wanted to get the locks changed. Due to some damage with the door, the bottom lock wasn't working properly, so I needed that fixed as well. After calling the folks at Locksmith Philly, I had someone at my new place in an hour working on fixing my door. He was able to fix the closing issue, and put in a new keypad deadbolt that I had purchased... plus had the great idea of using the emergency key for the deadbolt and using it to rekey the bottom lock. Now I only have one key to worry about! To boot, he made me two extra spare keys since the deadbolt only came with a single key. I pretty much thought he was done at that point, but no, he took the time to teach me how to use the digital keypad lock, how to delete old codes from it, and then how to add my own! I was super impressed with the service and professionalism of Locksmith Philly, and I would highly recommend them! read more

These dudes rock. Called on a Saturday to have them set some spare car fobs for my wife's car, I bought some unprogrammed ones from online. Leo said yep, gave me a price, I asked if he could do better, and he countered with a lower price. I respect that. Set them spare fobs up with the quickness, then went and tested them with me to confirm. Boom. Painless. Def recommend these guys. read more

I called locksmith Philly and they came right to my house. They gave me very competitive pricing I dealt with a gentleman named Leo who was very nice, knowledgeable about his job, and I would highly recommend this company to anybody anywhere in the Philadelphia region who doesn't want to be ripped off or over charged. read more

Leo did great work at our home. Fixed all of our troubled original house locks and even added a new digital lock. He was friendly and the dispatcher was as well. Highly recommended! read more

They were fast, flexible with timing, and reliable! I hired them to rekey a couple of locks and they did an excellent job!

I called and Georgi was at my home within 40 minutes! My lock was jammed and he was able to resolve the issue within 10 minutes. Highly recommend because of quality of work and responsiveness. read more

Had a weekend emergency on a Saturday at my place of business that required quick service to rekey every door after a former employee vandalized the place. Most places wouldn't come till Monday but these guys came out and arrived within 2 hours of me calling, an hour earlier than quoted. Everything was done super quick and efficiently. This was my second time using Locksmith PHILLY and I received exceptional service each time. read more

Came promptly, didn't try to upsell, took the time to make sure keys worked. Would recommend!

Do not let the lack of reviews (at the time of me writing) scare you - the guys at Locksmith Philly are, hands down, THE BEST locksmiths in Philly. Not in a "yeah, they are pretty good way" but in a "holy crap, I'm starting a Yelp account and writing my first review that's how good they are" kind of way. I'll tell you exactly why below (hint: the best prices by far, super friendly, and they very clearly all your options), but if you're just scrolling through looking at reviews because you need a locksmith right now, STOP...and call Locksmith Philly right away. So why are they the best? First, when you call Locksmith Philly, Leo and his two partners are actually the people coming to fix your lock. This isn't a call service that forwards you to some random fly by night locksmith. You call Locksmith Philly, you get Leo or one of his two partners. That's it. Second, the price. As an owner of multiple properties in Philly, I find myself having to call locksmiths fairly often. Unfortunately, I'm almost always left feeling like I've been scammed. Why? Because you don't need to be an economist to understand that when you usually call a locksmith, you are desperate - to get in to your car, your house, whatever. They know that, and they charge you...A LOT! Not Leo and Locksmith Philly. My electronic keypad died and the emergency key was locked inside of the house. To drill out the lock, install a new lock, make me 6 additional keys (2 each for the 3 locks in the house) AND rekey my backdoor I was charged $50 less than what it cost me to have a locksmith come out and just open my door last time. It's insane! Lastly, Leo has to be one of the nicest guys on the planet. Not only was it fun to chat with him, but he also took the time to explain everything he was doing and my options. Instead of just telling me to get a new lock, he spent an hour trying to fix the old one just in case I could use it. When we couldn't salvage the old one, he then offered to drive to Home Depot to buy me a new one! And then, on top of all that, he even helped me put together the old one, put it back in the box, and told me exactly what to tell the company when I called to return it so I'd have the best chance to get a refund (since the lock had malfunctioned while it was under warranty). That't not service...that's like having a best friend! Which, after meeting Leo, I feel like I've gained. We even made plans to go to a Georgian restaurant he recommended together - I'm pretty sure no other locksmith in Philly can promise that. I'll never, ever call another locksmith in Philly again - Locksmith Philly is the one and only. After calling them, you'll see exactly what I mean. Thanks Leo and Locksmith Philly - you guys are the best! read more

I needed a locksmith willing to change a lock on an apartment door while allowing the building manager to safeguard the master key. The dispatcher said that this would not be a problem. Otari, one of the company's locksmiths, was dispatched to the building immediately. The on-duty engineer brought Otari the master key and stayed with him the whole time he was using it, even following him outside to his truck when he rebuilt the lock. Afterwards, Otari did me the favor of taking a few photos and texting them to me (I was not in the area and wanted to see if there was any damage to the unit). I asked him to text me an invoice, which he did, in the amount quoted by the dispatcher. The lock works great with both the new key and the master key. Locksmith PHILLY did a superior job. Otari was honest, good-natured, cooperative, and competent. read more

Thanks, YELP! The good reviews here prompted me to use Locksmith PHILLY and I'm very happy I did. My goal was to change the deadbolt and doorknob on my front door because the current hardware was looking bad and seemed near to falling off. I wanted to get one of those cool new digital locks that you can control with your phone. I called Locksmith PHILLY and had a quick chat with a smart and nice guy who gave me great advice. I told him I was going to do some more research and I'd call him after I bought the hardware. He was cool with that. The next morning, I made my purchase at Home Depot and called Locksmith PHILLY to have them install it. He promised someone would arrive within the hour and he did. The install was quick and perfect and he even took time to explain how my new system works. read more

Needed a lock changed, and Leo came right out and took care of it in a few minutes for a fair price.

So online it says for a car lockout could cost between $60-$100 . Upon arriving 45minutes late from when I was told he said he wanted to give me an estimate. I said ok? $185 I said no Thankyou have a good day! I told him your company is deceiving people with false advertising. So he did the job for$100 funny and it took 5 minutes great money maker but I guess not enough so try to strong arm people! I don't recommend using locksmithPhilly ! read more

I called Locksmith PHILLY after another company screwed up the installation of a Yale Nest lock. Locksmith Philly called me back in two minutes and an hour later Oto had reinstalled the lock and everything was fully functional. If you need a professional and reasonably priced locksmith-- please look no further than these guys. read more

Leo was amazing. I had a pure awful day. Topped it off with locking myself out and my huge dog inside. It was the straw for me and I ended up just crying. The first locksmith yelled at me on the phone, the hung up on me. Leo was super nice, actually nice about the lack of parking where I live, and I learned a bit about locks and pins too. If I ever need a locksmith or need to recommend one I would call him again in a second. He was great. Also my dog liked him, which means he has to be decent read more

Helped us on a holiday, came quickly and really nice! Knew the job well, would definitely use them again!

I have no idea where to start! Well I locked my keys in the car while taking my dog to the vet, and had all his paperwork in the car so I'm now holding up the vet for his appt because I need to get stuff out my car. I figured I would have to reschedule my appt with the vet because it's the first time I had to call a locksmith and had no idea how long the wait is, how long it takes to open the door, price, etc. I called here and the guy on the phone was super nice and had a tech to me in TEN minutes! Leo was so nice, got our door open very quickly and made me a spare on the spot! I was impressed to say the least and grateful how fast, kind and responsive they were. Thank you guys!!!!! read more

Arrived in 15 mins from the time of phone call. Had me inside my apartment in 5 mins. Literally half the price of locksmiths I've used in the past. He said he tries to give the neighbors a break. Great experience. read more
