I had a great experience with Quick Key Locksmith & Security. Communication was easy from start to finish, and they took care of all the keys needed for my property. They made new keys for each unit so one key could be used for both the front and back doors, which made things much simpler. They also created two separate versions of common area keys for the front and rear buildings, while making sure both worked for the shared laundry room. They were also helpful in pointing out old cylinders and handles that needed to be replaced. Everything was handled smoothly, professionally, and for a great price. I'd definitely recommend them. read more

Chris and the team took care of me when I was locked out of my building! Affordable, quick service. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Let me tell you. It's hard to find a locksmith that has an actual location open on a Saturday. One closest to us had hours listed as being open, but we're definitely closed :(. I called Quick Key to verify their hours (they were correct) and the person on the line was very friendly and said we could stop by today. We had a safe that uses a keypad entry but the battery died and I lost the key sometime in the past 10+ years and 3 moves. The safe is discontinued with the company and they recommended taking it to a locksmith. Dominic got to work on the safe and definitely did his due diligence to see if any method could be used to open it before having to take a drill to it. I really appreciate his help to get my important things back to me! Don't be lazy about changing those batteries folks! read more

Found Quick Key after my usual place closed due to retirement. Dominic is awesome- knowledgeable and quite efficient. For homeowners with multi-flats, weekend hours are key. (No pun intended) four locks rekeyed and 12 new copies came to a great price. I'll be coming back as Dominic has proven to be a customer rep and technician worthy of being kept in my Rolodex. read more

Quick Key Locksmith & Security Chicago - Two locks per door. Crucial to rekey when tenants move out. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Got locked out of my apartment and out of all the Chicago locksmiths I inquired, they were the first to respond! It was also the most affordable option which was around $130 for a standard lock. Highly recommended this place!! Thank you guys!! read more

Brandon took great care of me!!! Prompt service, product in stock! Great location, easy to get to.

Good and quick service at standard industry rates. Had my lock reinstalled and a couple peepholes installed. Only qualm is they don't clean up afterwards. Wished they were proactive about doing that. read more

UPDATE: Amanda from their front office ended up reaching out to me directly to discuss the matter. I can appreciate good customer service and their proactiveness / willingness to make right of the originally provided quote. Thanks Quick Key Locksmith, you've won me back. 'Til next time, cheers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL REVIEW: Ended up going with Quick Key Locksmith after messaging and calling around to get a few quotes. Quick Key came back with the lowest quote for two re-keys, door push plate, and a smart lock deadbolt installation. Honestly, I feel a bit duped because they quoted me $65 for the installation of the deadbolt, but come day of the service they mentioned it was $125 for a smart lock deadbolt. Annoying because I had sent a direct link of the smart lock I had purchased ahead of time, so I figured it was clear what was being installed. And this price difference was pretty much the deciding factor going with Quick Key vs another locksmith. Anyhow, Mike was the guy sent out to do the work. He was polite and showed up during the schedule two hour window. Very quick to re-key the two doors. The front door was where a majority of his time was spent, installing a door push plate to cover previous door holes, drilling a new hole for the deadbolt, and installing a faceplate to reinforce where the old holes were installed (opted for this the day of). Overall quality of work was okay. He ended up chiseling away at the door frame to allow clearance for where there was slight obstruction. Not the cleanest way to do it, but I guess this is where we'd probably need a carpenter opposed to a locksmith. Anyways, while I'm happy we have a deadbolt on our front door and all the access points rekeyed, there could have been a much more accurate quote provided given all of the communication and detailed photos exchanged ahead of time. In short, really no difference in other price quotes. If I'm in need of a lock services in the future, I'd probably take a chance at a different locksmith. 'Til next time. read more

See all

Brendan gave me good customer service, service was fast, and good value! Will come back for future visits.

I walked in, they made copies, I walked out. In under 5 minutes! Dominic really knows his stuff. I had questions, and he answered them as he was making the copies. They're easy to find, and parking was a breeze. A great overall experience! read more

The staff here is always great! I live in the neighborhood and have had multiple lock problems in the past. Quick Key always comes to the rescue with a quick solution and the staff is super friendly! Dominic and Brendan most recently saved me when my key snapped in the front door of my building, and stayed past their regular business hours to help me out. It's a huge plus to have such reliable people extremely close to your home! Thank you!! read more

They came right out and fixed my problem on the spot. Their locksmith was very nice and helpful! Prices were reasonable.

Amazing service. Scheduled service based on the urgency and took them less than a minute to open my lock. Luke was very knowledgeable on what he needed to do and got the task done amazingly. Also installed a smart lock for me and helped end to end setup. Great job team. read more

I purchased a "smart" lock for my front door deadbolt, and upon trying to install it, I realized that the door knob hole was way too small (it's a 25+ year old door). I don't have the tools or expertise to enlarge this hole - plus I'm sure I would have don't a horrible job - so I did a general "Yelp" request on a Saturday night. Sunday morning, and it was Mother's Day!, I received a message from them wondering if I'd like to schedule an appointment that day. Nah - it's Mother's Day - but can I schedule for Monday? Sure enough, right on time. He was very fast - probably took him about 10 minutes (he's obviously done this many times!). All in all, great experience. Would recommend! read more

Great experience changing out 2 locks in our apartment door. Great communication, Jayden the locksmith was pleasant, skillfull and prompt. Would definitely recommend and use again. read more

Mike came to rekey 11 locks in our home with a variety of combinations of single lock/master key permutations. He was fast, knowledgeable, and provided great service at an affordable price. We highly recommend Quick Key and would definitely use them again. read more

I recently moved into a new place and needed the two locks to my condo re-keyed. I made the request through Yelp and Jessica from Quick Key responded with a very reasonable price. I confirmed the price but offered to send pictures of the locks before making an appointment. She asked if I had the working keys. I sent the pictures. She again confirmed the price as long as the locks were the same brand. Since I just moved in and inherited these locks I had no idea if they were the same brand. After that, I received no more responses from Jessica (the owner). In summary, all of the responses were slow and left me waiting. As the owner, she was not customer focused at all. I would not consider them again. read more

Quick, convenient, and friendly service. I've come in several times to have keys copied and these guys are great.

We had some skeletal door handles that were installed for us by a contractor at our home but several of the doors had issues. We called quick key and had them look at the doorknobs and they determined that the installation that was completed by the previous contractor was essentially the issue (as an example - several of the doors were not properly chiseled out and/or the contractor bent parts to install the door handles). Alejandro Robles completed the analysis and installation of the new doorknobs. He also went above and beyond and took extra precautions to help ensure that the doorknobs were extra secure which we really appreciated after the issues we had before they fixed the doorknobs. Alejandro also was able to use some of the existing doorknobs and didn't have to reinstall a couple doorknobs (although he did tweak them). Despite me ordering 17 doorknobs and installation for those doorknobs - quick key took the two doorknobs and associated installation costs off the final invoice. This speaks volumes to me as it shows that they are honest. I really to do work with companies that are honest, reliable, and of course - good at their work. Alejandro and Quick Key checked all of these boxes for us during this project. I will work with them again and recommend them to others. read more

Actual price and quoted price were different. Also they said when providing a quote that they would be able to deactivate a mortise lock, but when the locksmith came he said that was something they never do. So now I have to find someone else to do that. The prices and services they promised were different from what they actually delivered, which was disappointing. read more

They lived up to their name. Dominic got me in and out before they closed. I asked for 15 duplicate keys and he gave me a discount which another place did not. These were not regular keys. Couldn't be happier. Check them out. read more

Brendon is always helpful and friendly...great service! Great neighborhood business.

Hired them last november to install a new gate knob and keypad to enter the home. They originally estimated 2-3 weeks. On the date of installation the guy missed his original time in the morning and ended up having to do it in the afternoon after we waited around. When installing they didn't have all the parts or the time to finish installation so they said they'd finish on Saturday. Saturday comes we stay at home expecting someone to show and no one comes. I ask them the next day what happened and they said they are looking for someone to do the wl service and would contact me later. 3 weeks go by, it's early january and then I ask them what is going on. They schedule someone for 2 weeks later. When the guy comes it's middle of January and says he can't do the work in the cold. I get angry and ask them why would they delay so long and not try to schedule earlier. No response. I speak with a manager and he says that they will watch out for 3 days above freezing to finish the job. He said they would contact me at earliest possible date. After a month the weather becomes better and no one calls or emails. A month later in early March after that I ask them what the situation was, they said no one was available until mid april. At this point I've been waiting for 3 months for a gate lock keypad and they schedule for another month later. All throughout the whole process no one ever bothered to reach out and schedule anything. If I hadn't reached out constantly I guess the work would never be done. Extremely unresponsive except when asking for billing. Terrible customer service. The serviceman was good and did his job well. However if you have anything that requires any scheduling I would avoid. read more

I needed to have my garage door lock repaired...Sam arrived and took care of it in record time...Sam was very personable and professional and will be calling on this company when needed for lock and door changes. Thank you!!! read more

Today, my husband and drove to the location in Elk Grove Village and were greeted very nicely, the man behind the counter was very knowledgeable & even told us we could check out the other location located in Chicago for a variety of more items. He went the extra step to calling the Chicago location and notifying them we would be visiting their shop. As well as the Elk Grove location, we were greeted in the same manner here at the Chicago location. I really never leave reviews, but this place deserves the 5 stars. Thank you. read more

Great and prompt service. Very fast and responsive. They had a tech out to us ASAP to deal with a malfunctioning exterior deadbolt. The tech was able to quickly assess the issue and offered a good range of options. After I chose the solution that was best for us, he was able to promptly install it with a re-keyed lock to maintain continuity with the existing keys. All told the price (for both parts and service) was great. Highly recommend. read more

I requested to be let in for a lockout over the weekend, not only did it take 2 hours to send a technician one mile down the road, but the technician they sent damaged my lock to the point where I could not get back in my home the next day. I went to the shop in-person for this fix, and the manager/supervisor told me, without any knowledge of the situation, that the "technician probably didn't damage the lock," and attempted to charge me again. The new tech that was sent, who was undoubtedly more equipped for the job, told me that it was indeed the last tech who damaged my lock by using the wrong picking technique, something that presumably should be learned in training before performing services on people's home locks. Subpar customer service and subpar quality assurance. I recommend finding somewhere else for a better bang for your buck. read more

This location is close to my business. Very handy when keys need to be copied. A good option vs key copying machines - better price as well. Dominic is friendly and helpful. In the past I've used their locksmith services for my mailbox. The price was fair, the staff was communicative, and it was a positive experience. read more
