Joey and the team at M&D did an excellent job in helping me with an emergency repair to an original brownstone mortise lock. See the photos of the original and the replacement cylinder. Joey worked especially hard--many hours into the night--to ensure the lock worked correctly. He installed a Mul-T-Lock, which is a big upgrade from the previous, improper cylinder. If you have an old house--or any locksmith needs--contact M&D. Super professional, family-owned. read more

M&D Locksmith And Security - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Such an amazing company and group of people. From the moment I called in a panic about my situation they helped calm all my worries and assured good service. They were at my apartment within the hour to help me get back in within minutes! I will only use this service for my locksmith needs! 10/10!! read more

- Got a key made here, better than my original - this is the third lock Smith I went to, and nobody copied it correctly but here - only thing is, call ahead, if the owner is out on duty, you're going to show up to a locked door (and it's not so fun, when a locked door is the reason why you are there) read more

Since the Joey asked, no the vendor did not give me free keys because he didn't have a reason to but was incredibly sympathetic considering what you did and how you treated me. In total the cost per key ratio was $5 per key. To others looking for a locksmith - don't let the 4.5 overall rating confuse you. Service is overpriced and Joey is unprofessional at best. read more

Seems like Joey selectively tries to scam customers into paying outrageous sums of cash. I almost got suckered into paying three times more than reasonable (Joey's insisting I go to an ATM on the spot to pay him in advance was a red flag). Thankfully I found Affordable Locksmith III, a much more honest outfit. Good luck to everyone. Don't let a locksmith take advantage of your vulnerability in needing your locks taken care of properly! In response to Joey's comment on my review: you didn't quote me MulTlock replacement. read more

M&D is the only locksmith business that I trust -- and I've used many different businesses around Brooklyn, to help with unlocking rooms I've been locked out of, installing new locks and securing front doors. When I called, I was in a state of panic. The lovely woman who answered the phone assured me she'd help resolve my situation. She was so kind and helpful from the very start. Joey the locksmith, with M&D, arrived in fewer than 30 minutes! And he introduced himself, asked about the lock, and got to work right away. He was able to fix my door really fast, and charged me a fair price which I was more than happy to pay for his time and efficient work. On his way out, he gave me some suggestions on how to preventing the doors from auto-locking, and offered to come back that night if I had any more issues. I've been ripped off so many times by locksmiths that I assumed the industry overall was corrupt. For most of us, when you're calling a locksmith for help, it's not because we need a check-up. It's because of an emergency. And we're at the mercy of the guy who shows up at your door. NOT M&D. It is an honest business with kind, considerate staff who treats customers with respect -- and understand that the situation you're in is important and everything they do supports their desire to help. Thanks so much to Joey and to the M&D Locksmith team who are great and I will be calling your business from now on! Thank you to everyone at M&D, especially Joey. read more

Honest locksmith!!! After calling so many locksmith services in Brooklyn to get my office locks replaced, I found M&D locks and keys with such an honest price. It started with excellent communication skills from the start, followed by arrival at a timely manner, and to top it all, it was straight to the point and honest dealing from the begging. I knew this was the locksmith I will use to replace all the locks in my office. A true angel! A very strong recommendation for those who don't have time to waste. Definitely worth the space in my contacts for a locksmith. Thank you. read more

I feel lucky to know about M and D locksmith. They responded immediately both times I've used them. They know everything about locks, keys, etc. and are very professional in their services. read more

I told Joey I'd write him a 5-star review if he could make a copy of my Mul-T-Lock key that works. I'm a man of my word. Joey is M&D's master key technician, or at least that's what Leah, the girl who answered the phone, told me. When I came into the shop, he was mildly braggadocious ('I am the only one who can make this key') but mostly charming. He refused a tip and instead insisted I write him a good review. He did me a massive favor by making this key, one of the few shops in the area who even considered it. Leah was polite and very friendly. They only charged me $20 and it was fast. Threw in a bottle opener as well. I could not be more pleased. He deserves 6 stars. read more

Joey from M&D Locks changed both our building lock and the lock for our apartment. He is very well versed and easily explains the issue and what needs to be done to fix it. We needed a special cylinder made and M&D ordered it and installed it within 3 days. Great service! read more

What a wonderful company!!! I needed some new locks for my home with one very difficult door that we needed to add a lock to. Joey took the job on and did and amazing job.He install two locks on our upstairs doors and a high security lock on a custom door with ease. He was very knowledgeable as well as honest. If you need a honest locksmith with a great knowledge base call M&D locks and Keys. read more

All I can say Joey is you are truly my hero. What a relief it is to actually call a business for them to provide a service and for that service to be exactly what I asked for. I cannot even begin to tell you how frustrated I was that I was not able to get into my mailbox. I could not find the keys to save my life and I could only imagine my mailbox filling with magazines, bills - ahem, I mean important documents and me not being able to access them. At 7 PM tonight, I finally decided to give up and give in and call a locksmith to replace my mailbox lock. As usual, Yelp did not fail me. I had to make one phone call and the woman on the other end quoted me a reasonable price and gave me a time that the technician would appear at my doorstep. Lo and behold, Joey materialized 10 minutes after he called and said he would be there in 10 minutes. Within seconds he had the mailbox open and within another few minutes he had a new lock in place and I had a key in hand. Usually, paying would be an issue as companies start with "We can only accept cash or we only take cashiers checks or we need you to put up your firstborn child as collateral. " In this company's case, they were more than happy to take personal check and I was even allowed to put the tip on the check. This seriously has to be the best day of my life. He even offered me a receipt. A legitimate real receipt. If ever anyone needs a locksmith in the area or anywhere in New York City really, I can't recommend these guys highly enough. read more

Joey is the best! After a scare of my order of protection being violated, Joey was able to show up on a Sunday evening and add a secure deadbolt to my apartment door. That was the first of two great situations! The second time, my keys fell in the elevator shaft and i was locked out of apt and the oven was on! Joey showed up in 20 minutes and saved the day! I will always be grateful for M&D, best service and speedy work. Thank you Joey, you're an angel! Diane read more

A while back, the door to our building malfunctioned and one of our neighbors, an elderly woman, couldn't get out. In a panic, she called M&D. They sold her on a very pricey system that was way more than we needed, and before anyone knew anything about it, the unit was installed. Not only was it expensive, but keys are $20 apiece! Between the new lock and the price of making enough keys for everyone in the building (an eight-unit coop), our bill was $1,000. When I called the company to complain about overselling our neighbor during an emergency, the man insisted that it was a top-notch lock and that our neighbor fully understood what she was agreeing to (which she did but she also just wanted the door to work). Sure, it works fine, but it doesn't sound like going with a less-expensive option was ever discussed. Not only are keys $20 apiece, but only THEY can make them. My days of being able to go around the corner to my local locksmith and get new keys ground for a few dollars are over. But, I needed some new keys so yesterday I schlepped to M&D's store on Empire, only to find that it was locked because the guy was out on a call. I called the company and a woman said that they offer pick up and dropoff service for new keys -- for $25 each way. Sure, I want to pay $50 on top of the already-ridiculous $20. Expensive AND inconvenient. Oh, and while I was standing in front of the store, another man showed up and, exasperated, said that they had been closed the last time he'd stopped by too. No hours are posted on their doors. They do fine work, but be careful about upselling and how pricey/easy it is or isn't going to be to get new locks made down the road. read more

M&D Locks is quick, reliable and courteous. My husband called on a Sunday morning to see if anyone was available to switch out a front door lock for us. Joey was at our apartment in 2 hours which is pretty incredible given how hard it is to schedule anything these days in NYC. He switched out our wonky doorknob with a brand new one. The work was done in less than 15 minutes with minimal banging and noise (we live in a coop building, so this was very important to us). Joey even took the old doorknob and disposed of it for us. The price was very fair given our research, however I will say that the price they quote you on the phone "does not include tax", which they will waive if you write a review of some sort. Luckily, their service does warrant a great review. All in all, a great and fair service. read more

M&D Locksmith And Security - Brand new doorknob & lock installed in less than 15 mins! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I read a bunch of rave reviews about Joey and lucky me, that is who showed up to change my lock. He called before he arrived, explained what he was doing and got right down to it. He worked quickly and even swept up the floor. For any women considering using this company, ask for Joey. He's not a creepy guy and you will not feel unsafe. Very friendly and professional. read more

No real complaints I was locked out they came quickly and let me in...I am cheap so picking my lock and charging 100+ dollars is just CRAZY to me. But I like the inside of my apartment so I had to fork up the dough:( Other then that the service was very friendly and quick. read more

I've lived in NYC and only needed a locksmith once in my life here. The second time I needed one (moving to a new apartment that allows tenants to install an additional lock), I called M&D. The pros of using M&D are - 1. They come out on a Sunday morning. 2. They call to let you know they're on their way - and then show up on time. 3. They may send Joey, who was as awesome about installing my lock as he was about putting up with my very curious rabbit. 4. Joey will install a new lock in less than 20 minutes. Even with bunny supervising him. The cons are - [blank] See? This review was as quick and as effortless as it took to get a new lock. My queendom and the world's most exquisite lagomorph are now protected, thanks to Joey and M&D! read more

This review isn't about any services received here, but about an exceptional employee. My husband dropped his wallet and she happened to find it! She not only didn't take anything, but went above and beyond to help get it back to us. Needless to say when i picked it up from the M&D shop it was perfectly intact. Moral of the story: if you want to give honest and trustworthy people some business you have found the right place! read more

The entire experience with M&D Locks & Keys was perfect. I called on Thanksgiving Day to have someone come in the next day to replace the cylinder of our front door lock. The woman that I spoke to on the phone was very helpful, clear about prices, and guaranteed that someone could be there within the hours that I needed. Daniel was the locksmith who came. He was very friendly, professional, and right on time. He went over everything that he did (more work needed to be done, as our mortise needed to be replaced also) and he was very clear about available options, pricing, and warranty information. I would certainly use them again and would recommend them to anyone in need of the services that they offer! read more

I have had 2 occasions to use the services of M&D. Both times I had a positive experience. JOEY is an extremely efficient locksmith. Additionally, he is courteous, personable, and an overall wonderful soul. I had an opportunity to converse with him in the most pleasant and inspiring manner. The other employee I interacted with was ANDY. Again, my interaction was extremely pleasant, I highly recommend their services. Andre' W. read more

Seriously had to be one of the best services I've ever had in NYC. I'm not one hundred percent sure what the guy's name was but looking through the photos on yelp and if the captions are correct then it was Oscar who helped me out! He was super friendly and helped find solutions for me since my door was just abnormal and needed work. He gave me all my options and knew what he was talking about. I definitely recommend him and his services and will use them in the future (: Thank you again! read more

Joey was a pleasure to work with. After a security scare, we needed new locks installed in our new home. Joey and the M&D team worked quickly and effectively. We had a small issue with the fit of one lock, because a door had been manufactured oddly, but Joey was able to fix the problem very quickly. We appreciate these guys very much. We're lucky to have a great locksmith right in the neighborhood. read more

Amazing Locksmiths!!

I contacted M&D Locks and Keys and Joe the technician came to my apartment pretty quickly (thank you for the swift response!) He was extremely nice and made small talk with me and gave his best advice. He was very knowledgeable with every question I asked. He took care of two Iocks for me! I was very pleased with his service. He even left for half hour to get a gold lock for my door. He truly went above and beyond for me. Thank you! read more

Joey was so so excellent. He called to let me know he was on his way. He was right on time. Very personable and polite. I was nervous as a have a very nice 1890 solid wood door that needed a deadbolt installed. Precision was key. He was an artist! Everything looks and works perfectly! Also, as he was going thru the process he called me over to address concerns and potential problems before moving ahead. Happily, none of the issues came to fruition but I loved how aware he was of my attention to detail, respected and matched that attention to his own. When he was done, he cleaned up the whole wood shaving mess. He even fixed a slightly crooked mortise knob under the new deadbolt so everything lined up beautifully!! He is perfect for anyone who is OCD like me!! Great service- great price! I couldn't be happier! Thanks so much Joey!! read more

M&D Locksmith And Security - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love them! Last week I called them at noon for a non-urgent repair, and they were able to send someone out before 4pm the same day. Joey did a great job, and he was fast and efficient. I will definitely use them for any future repairs! read more

Excellent locksmith!! Scheduled appointment right away, they were on time and immediately completed the work for the quoted price. Would go to again in a second! read more

Great customer service on the phone. Very responsive. Joey was professional and did his work quick and fast. Will come again.

We recently contracted M&D to do a multi entrance installation at the Maple Street School in Brooklyn. Because the doors would be opened hundreds of times a week, the hardware had to be top rate that they were. These push bars are so robust that I think they'll last for 20+ years. After the installation we had what we thought was a problem, but ended up being a miscommunication. They had someone on-site with 30 minutes! If you need a locksmith these are the guys you want, they have been around for a long time, their integrity is impeccable, and they take customer service seriously. read more

Excellent service! I had a different locksmith break my lock trying to get me back into my apartment but then try to charge me $500 to fix it. I called M&D at 10am and they scheduled me for a 1pm appointment the same day. Traffic all over the city was absolutely terrible that day, so the technician didn't get to me until 4pm, but the company was extremely nice about it and called me hourly to update me with the time, making sure I was able to wait. They got the job done in 5 minutes once here and the price was extremely reasonable for both the lock and the service call! 10 out of 10 would use again! Only a four star because of the wait, but I know that's not totally their fault. Excellent service and quick help; I highly recommend! read more

Terrible experience unfortunately - they're quick and convenient at first but their work doesn't really last. Started using them two years ago for everything from full lock changes to changing cylinders but it's become clear that they do not really stand behind their work without finding some way or another for you to continue to pay when things go wrong. The locking mechanism from a very expensive lock they sold me and installed just randomly broke off one day and no one explained to me why and I was out of $70 for "servicing" to fix it because it had been 22 months since installation. The same indoor lock I was told would last for years to come. Even their one year warranty on service comes with an if-you-don't-tamper-with-it disclaimer that they ultimately determine. Beware of having them change cylinders, etc. that are not full locks that THEY provide. They will make recommendatioms to you that they know will not last. Then they take no responsibility when something goes wrong and will simply find something random to blame it on and you'll ultimately find yourself out of more money to fix it. Every time. One of their technicians (who thankfully is no longer with the company) did such shoddy work that we were locked in from the inside! Once the main tech came later to fix it, he blamed "someone else" for doing poor work until I informed him that it was actually their tech who did the job (as also proven by their own records). He'd installed mismatched lock pieces without saying anything to anyone and the lock ultimately malfunctioned. But I was the one who found myself out of another $200+ at the end of the day when M&D failed to take responsibility for the job they themselves described as "unprofessional"... Was really looking forward to having them as my go-to lock guys for years to come but disappointingly won't be able to do so going forward. They're ok for quick fixes but definitely not built to last! read more
