We were very pleased with Eli and would highly recommend him as a locksmith. Eli was prompt with his communications and arrived on time; he was clear with his prices over the phone and provided a solid estimate before he started work. He knew our locks well, despite it being a 100+ year old home, and was able to take care of everything we needed without problem. The finished work looks great, and he provided us some nice tips on maintaining the locks as well. We are very glad we called Eli. read more

I sent Eli a description of my door lock problem along with pictures and he responded quickly. Even though the work required some specialty work and carpentry that he couldn't do, Eli gave me detailed information and recommendations on how to fix the very old lock. He really is a great professional. Thanks Eli! With your help we got our problem fixed. read more

Prompt in response for a quote, fair in pricing, and went above and beyond to fix alignment of the doors free of charge. Definitely recommend Eli's services to anyone in need of a locksmith. read more

I needed to have 4 locks in my recently purchased condo re-keyed and found Mr. Locksmith / Eli online. He answered my call when I reached out and was able to schedule an appointment for 2 days out, on a Saturday. Eli arrived on time and got all 4 locks re-keyed in short order at the quoted price - they are working great! I highly recommend Mr. Locksmith for all of your lock needs! read more

Eli is professional, knowledgable, and does great work for a reasonable price. He called to give me a quote, had me take pictures of the locks to ensure the quote was accurate, and didn't change the price on me when he arrived. By the way, 1) he arrived early (which I prefer to being late!), 2) in terrible weather, and 3) on his day off to help me out. He even helped me with getting my bags inside before he got right to work! Eli completed the job within the quoted time and there were NO SURPRISES on length of time or total costs. Just honest pay for honest work. Eli is doesn't push products you don't need, doesn't charge you for things you didn't anticipate, and he keeps it real all around. Are you STILL looking for a fantastic locksmith who knows his stuff, offers competitive pricing, and best-in-class customer service? Seriously? Stop reading reviews, do yourself a favor, and book Eli - right now. Trust me, you'll be happy you did! read more

Very good service, Eli showed up right on time and quoted price was what he charged me for the job. He even went and bought the new lock in the color I requested! Great job, I LOVE my new simplisafe smartlock w/schlage dead-bolt. I have a new lock-smith, call him! read more

Absolutely loved working with Eli and would rehire him or recommend him in a heartbeat. My project was not urgent, but Eli made it a priority. He responded to my email request within an hour (on the weekend!); spoke to me over the phone to answer all of my questions and provide a quote with detailed explanations on his services and the products he would use; and penciled me in for a day later. (I'd like to mention that I actually got 5 different quotes from well-reviewed locksmiths; I chose to go with Eli due to his competitive pricing, his helpful and kind demeanor, and his strong level of expertise). On the day of our appointment, Eli showed up on time, removed his shoes and abided by all COVID-19 safety precautions, and was incredibly friendly and thoughtful, explaining every step of the process as he moved along to make sure I was satisfied. I was having my front door lock changed, and the door's deadbolt rekeyed to match, with 4 copies made. I wanted Schlage everything to be more secure. Due to the fact that my door was previously tampered with and no longer a standard size, changing the lock proved to be more challenging than we originally expected. However, Eli offered to go to Home Depot, get the appropriate parts required, and within an hour he was back and able to make modifications to my door so that my requests were completed perfectly, efficiently, and effectively. Considering the work that needed to be done, Eli worked very quickly, demonstrated open and straightforward communication, and was fair in his pricing. He didn't even charge me extra for the additional labor. I've saved his number to share with my neighbors, and I'd reach out to him again for any lock-related needs. read more

Eli was great! Quick to respond, polite, and changed both locks of mine in helf an hour. Great value as well!

Eli is so friendly and professional. I'd absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a locksmith. He changed a dead bolt lock on the front door of my new apartment. read more

Eli was fantastic - super responsive over Yelp and text, showed up at his first available slot to help us change our lock. Proposed a cheaper option than the one we had in mind but one that still did the job, did the job efficiently, and observed all COVID precautions. Would definitely call him again! read more

We have used Mr. Locksmith twice for our place. First time Eli came he rekeyed our front door, and provided copies of the keys as well. He was on time, friendly, and very nice. We called him again a few years later to rekey our front door again and he did so with the same outstanding service as the prior time. He also helped me change my other doorknob's reconfiguration (it was upside down) without charge. Recently I noticed our front door key slot was blocked so I called him to come out but he told me to try WD40 first to clear out any debris. I did and it worked! I appreciate his honesty. He could have easily come out to do it and charged us and we wouldn't have even known. Thanks Eli! We'll be sure to use Mr. Locksmith for all our future work. read more

Eli was prompt, knowledgeable and took care of our broken bolt well! He knew the lock brand and why our lock had malfunctioned and was able to fix it. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I wanted to upgrade our current deadbolt to a smartlock. I contacted Eli after seeing all of the positive reviews online. He responded to me within 10 minutes!! He was extremely knowledgeable about the different types of smarklocks available on the market. After contacting him on a Wednesday, I reached out to him on Friday once we purchased the smartlock. Eli said he could come Saturday to install the lock. There was no upcharge for him coming on Saturday. Eli's prices were MUCH lower than several other locksmiths in the area - plus he has no problem with doing installations in the North End, Beacon Hill, South End, etc. The installation went very smoothly and he was extremely friendly and professional! He even fixed the front door of our condo complex that wasn't working properly at no cost on his way out the door! read more

Fantastic service. Eli responded right away and arranged a time to unlock/replace my mailbox lock the next day. He was quick, efficient and very friendly. Also, far cheaper than some of the competitors. In one case, someone wanted to charge nearly double his price AND I had to wait up to two weeks!!! So, yeah, saved 50% of money, and 85% of time. Would very much recommend to anyone in the unfortunate position of needing to have the lock fixed. read more

Eli was super responsive and helped us change our locks in a timely fashion. Not only did he take the time to explain what he was doing while working, he fixed an improperly installed strike plate free of charge. Highly recommend his work! read more

He's simply the best, save yourself some time and money, he's your guy. He's not only professional but also efficient and quick to respond. He has done the lock changes for both our houses in the last 5 years. And you can't beat the price. read more

Eli was AMAZING! I called and asked him if he could rekey the locks in my new condo. He kept in touch, scheduled a time with me, and even let me know he could come earlier than scheduled if that would work, which it did. The place came with 5 keys, he rekeyed everything so we wouldn't have so many keys and taught us how to reset the codes on our coded locks. He very much exceeded my expectations! I will definitely call Eli for all of my locksmith needs from here on out. read more

Eli was terrific! He came right when I moved in, gave me an initial quote off of pictures, and explained any Ganges/options along the way so I understood what he was doing and why. He was very thorough in his work and explanation of everything. Would absolutely call him again when I need a locksmith! read more

Update: unfortunately I locked myself out and first person I thought of is Mr. Lock Smith. Eli could have not come until evening but he helped me out by coming within merely one hour from out of town. Out of my expectation he gave me tips to avoid calling locksmith service again, such as having a backup key - I not only recommend him for his proficiency of 16 years experience, but his kindness. I believe he cares money less than something else. //****** Eli left me a good impression with his proficiency and service attitude. Also, the price is fair (not a ripoff). Most important, he's considerate and shows concern to his customers. He added a lock pad on my door frame for free to strengthen the lock, just out of his "vocational call of duty". read more

Another update: we moved and Eli came to rekey our locks. He was as usual completely professional and friendly. Gave me the choice of various options for price and features. I would highly recommend him! read more

Eli is the best. Always answers, comes on time, high level of quality, passionate, and truly cares. I have been using Eli for 5 years, have complete trust, and couldn't recommend this company enough. Simply the best! read more

Eli was very knowledgeable and professional and easy to communicate with in advance of the project. He was very nice and did the work well- replaced a front door lock and even helped to tighten up the door so it closed properly. I would recommend his services to anyone needing a good and reliable locksmith! read more

Mr.Locksmith returned my call within minutes. Talked to me, asked for pics, gave me prices, his availability and advice, all as a courtesy. He arrived promptly, expertly installed, changed, and repaired as his word. The level of service; AAA+. This kind of professionalism is rare. read more

Eli was fantastic. Not only did he show up on time, complete the rekeying job, and follow all COVID protocols (without reminders), but he is personable and a pleasure to have in my home. On top of this, he resolved a sticky lock without needing to change it for a new one (saving money), and he adjusted the lock hole in one of my door frames to make it operate smoother. He also brought new keys from the same manufacturer as my locks, guaranteeing a smooth function. Really pleased with Eli's work. read more

Repeat customer, following my 2018 review with an updated one for 2020. Again we had Mr. Locksmith come to our house in Needham for some challenging work and he was on time, well prepared, friendly, clean, and a skilled expert. He was able to tackle fresh challenges at our quirky old house and did everything beautifully and flawlessly despite some tricky circumstances. He even cleaned up all the dust and debris from one of the projects which created some dust, from drilling to install a new deadbolt set in a fireproof door. He's a true professional and will always be the first person I call when I need a locksmith. I have his number saved in my cell phone contacts in case I ever get locked out! read more

I highly recommend working with Eli. He is a professional and takes great pride in his work. He was responsive and punctual; he did an exceptional job, taking care to check on every detail; and he charged a fair price. read more

Excellent service, quality and value. I know few companies that are more professional and skilled as Eli. You are getting a very experienced, knowledgeable and skilled person for a very reasonable price. He is very concerned with given full explanation of what he is doing and why. Highest recommendation without reservation. read more

Eli responded very quickly to my job inquiry, gave me an accurate quote, and helped us with our doors as well the locks when he came over. He went above and beyond what we hired him to do. His quote was also one of the lower ones among the few that I called. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in search of a locksmith. read more

I would highly recommend Mr Locksmith. They are very responsive. Eli was friendly and accommodating. I shared my request for service, and we were able set an appointment for the next day. read more

Eli did a wonderful job. He even knew about my specialized front door lock. He rekeyed it and installed two other locks, fitted the doors to the lock and even moved s strike plate at no extra charge. Very, very reasonable prices. I would use him again if I need a locksmith. read more

Eli helped me rekey an existing lock and install a new lock on my place. He was incredibly kind with the chaos of the day - I was brilliant and booked movers and a locksmith at the same time requiring me to be in two different locations at once - and kindly worked with my mother to install the locks. He chatted with her the whole time and was even very kind about waiting for a few minutes for me to come over from my old place so I could pay him. The quote was spot on, the keys are continuing to work like a charm a few months later with no stickiness (a problem I've had in the past), and he evaluated my other door to give me suggestions on what I could do in the future. I would recommend Eli to anyone, and if I ever have future locksmith needs, he will be my first and only choice. read more

I recently bought a home and needed to have the locks changed. Eli rekeyed 4 of my locks and replaced one final lock without any issue. When we spoke about the job beforehand, he encouraged me / talked me through trying my existing key in all the locks, because I was convinced it only worked in one. Turns out although they were sticky, it worked in almost all the locks, which saved me money because I could rekey instead of replace. Overall, Eli was knowledgeable and friendly, and I highly recommend his locksmith services. read more

Eli was wonderful! He was prompt, highly responsive, and detail oriented. He charged a fair price and got the work done quickly. I would definitely use him again. A+ read more

I was told Mr Locksmith would contact me within 24 hours. I'm still waiting. Not as reliable as promised. : (

Eli is great! We called him up after our place was burglarized one Saturday night. He was there within an hour on Sunday morning. He gave us an honest quote and explained all of our options. He gave us some good pointers on staying safe and reviewed all of his work when he was through. This guy's the real deal! read more

I called Mr. Locksmith to change our company locks one afternoon on short notice and he showed up 30 minutes later. The locksmith was friendly and professional and worked very quickly. I was incredibly pleased and will always use this company when the need arises in the future. read more

Got locked out of my apt on the day after XMas, with my landlord out of the state and no one to turn to. Eli was prompt and friendly, and I was back in my apt in no time. He charged $30 to show up and $90 for labor, so $120 total, which was worth it to me, especially on emergency notice. DEFINITELY recommend him! read more

I own a condo in Brighton, and the back door's knob stopped turning (creating a fire hazard for my tenant). I called Mr. Locksmith to have both the front and back door knobs replaced (along with new locks) at about 10am. The job was fully complete by 1pm. He quoted me fair prices up front, and there were no surprise costs after the fact. I was able to pay him directly by credit card over the phone so that my tenant did not have to write a check. I was very pleased with the quick response, fair prices and convenient billing. read more

Eli (Mr. Locksmith) is my hero. Yesterday, was one of the worst days I've had in quite some time. My purse was stolen from under my nose which of course included my keys, cell, wallet, work keys, etc. Major bummer and lots of tears. After cancelling everything, I called Eli and he was out that afternoon and changed 6 locks in 3 hours-AMAZING! With enough time for my husband to get copies made for our whole building. Eli is a great guy and reasonable prices. read more

The reviews are true, this guy is awesome. We had a stuck u-lock that we finally decided had to be cut off if we ever wanted to use the bike again. He sawed it off in no time, was pleasant and easy to work with, and didn't charge a ton of money. I would call him again if I ever had the misfortune to need a locksmith in the future. read more
