I was locked out of my house yesterday. I called, received information, made a request, locksmith came and did the job. I can't go higher than 3 stars because the service was average (expected). There was nothing that showed me their exceptionalism or that really stood out for me to write about. read more

Called quick to let me into my apartment after I had locked myself out. Called on the first try and got a lovely operator who was very kind to me and and answered all of my questions regarding the process. After I place my order for a locksmith he contacted me 2 minutes later and arrived 20 minutes later (which is actually pretty fast considering they are not down the street from my apartment). I was greeted by a man named Josh. He was very polite and professional. He used the easiest solution to unlock my door which resulted in no damage to my door lock mechanism. And also, because I mentioned I found them on yelp. I got 10% off of my order!!! (Hurrah!!!!!) In conclusion, you need to use quick key for all your issues regarding lockouts. They are very professional, very fast, and they are very efficient with there lock solving solutions. Buh Bye!! read more

My locksmith came 40 minutes after I called (scheduled to be 20 mins). We spent over an hour outside my door and he couldn't pick the lock. He gave me two choices: drill through my lock and break my lock OR drill in between my door and break my door. After a few more failing tries, he drilled through my lock and broke it. I was charged the full amount of $100 because he said "we charge by if you get into your place NOT how we do it". REALLY?!?! I could have done that if that's the case. read more

GAL was at my back door within 15 minutes. He was professional and quick. What more can you ask for when you are locked out on your house? read more

Quick key locksmith was able to schedule us last minute to change our locks out after closing on a new place. They were super knowledgeable and helped to talk ya through pricing and options. Reasonably priced as well. Feel confident with our decision and having them look at our locks to determine whether to replace the whole handle or just the locks. read more

Can't say enough. I own a cooking school called Naveen's Cuisine in the Bucktown/Wicker park neighborhood and at one event, after a few drinks a customer broke the key in the door. I called Quick Key the next afternoon and made an appointment - it was for 4:30pm on Saturday afternoon - there was no extra charge for weekend appointment and all charges were explained up front. After I made the appointment, 2 minutes later, Josh called me back to confirm the appointment time. I had called a couple of other locksmith's too (from Yelp and Craigslist) and they seemed to have an extra charge to come out on a weekend, could not give me a breakdown on charges upfront - I just did not feel comfortable scheduling a time with them. He was running late due to heavy traffic - called me to keep me updated. Arrived on site, professionally introduced himself and within seconds fixed the problem. Since the lock was not working well from the start, he offered me options (one was to not change anything), it was for me to decide the best option that I wanted. 15 - 20 minutes it was all done. I asked him for a few cards in case I need their service again. Thanks Josh - keep up the good work. read more

Wow! What an experience. I call them up at 7:15 pm on a Monday night to leave a message that I would like someone to call me back about setting up a potential Saturday appointment. However my call is answered by a live person still working who says they can send someone out to my condo now. Within 20 minutes their on-call rep Josh shows up. I wish I had my own company as I would hire Josh on the spot as he was that good on all levels. Very smart, professional, competent, likable and fast. By 8pm I had a new doorknob that had three lock settings and still worked with the existing key I had which is also a master key to the various common area doors. He even fixed my door so I wouldn't have to adjust it anymore and made my deadbolt more effective as well. So in less than 45 minutes from picking up the phone my door problems were resolved for a fair fee and accompanied by exceptional customer service and competence. Quick Key will definitely get my future business as well as referrals. read more

I didn't just... Oh crap.. I just locked myself out. After feeling like an idiot for 15 minutes I felt much smarter after I called Quick Keys. They were at my door within 10 min. He had me back in my place in no time and he was very friendly and easy to work with. I hope I never have to call a locksmith again, but if I do, I'll call these guys. read more

Gal was great! Quick, friendly, and did an excellent job re-keying the door to my new residence. The price was also very reasonable for the work done. Thank you! read more

Very helpful staff. Customer care is really responsible. They actually reached out to me to make sure I was satisfied with the services and actually listened to the customer side of the story unlike most of the companies. I would totally hire these guys again. read more

I called Quick Key Locksmith to open my apartment door which is uses a key fob. Perhaps they sent someone with very little experience because he was having such a hard time with the door and seemed overwhelmed. 20 minute into trying to open the door his boss calls and I overheard say he's still working on the door. Another 20 to 30 minutes pass by and he gets another call from his boss, it turns out they have a master key for my building and I could have taken the locksmith a few minutes to let me in my apartment. The reason for the one star review isn't the lack of competence or the length of time it took to open the door. The reason for the one star review is the damage the locksmith caused to my door and wall. This guy completely ruined a brand new wall and caused damage to the door that I will surely have to pay for if or when I move out of my apartment. Save yourself the the hassle and look for another company. read more

I recently bought a building and had the majority of my locks replaced by Quick Key. Gal did a great job, was very helpful to educating me about different locks, and was able to match or beat competing quotes while at the same time offering me a higher grade of hardware. I have since had a couple minor issues with the insane cold weather and how my locks reacted to that, but both Gal and Josh have been very quick to come out and make sure everything was working properly, and would make any modifications for me right on the spot. I'm very pleased with the service they provide and have already been referring them to clients of mine. read more

The people at Quick Key were super professional and took care of me, 5 stars thank you so much!

Great experience! Just moved into our condo and needed the locks rekeyed and wanted to add a latch guard. Called on Thursday for a Saturday morning visit. Josh called when he was 10 minutes away to let us know he was close. The work was completed within 45 minutes with no issues and at a reasonable price. Josh was very friendly, helpful, and easy to work. They are available 24/7. If we ever need a locksmith again, I will certainly use Quick Key! read more

Props to Josh! Punctual, clear and concise and troubleshooted the job in a fair amount of time! I am relieved that the lock is fixed and secure, AND we don't need to replace everyone's keys! Definitely will call again if/when needed and recommend to my friends! J read more

QuickKey re-keyed our lock at the office. Ardy was quick, knowledgable, and professional. Very happy. Also got great help from Dominic at the Elk Grove shop making duplicate keys. These guys are awesome!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

I called this morning and they were able to send out a locksmith in less than an hour! Both the person I made the appointment with and the locksmith, David, were nice and friendly. David was able to rekey the lock quickly too! I would highly recommend Quick Key Locksmith. read more

I locked myself out of my house today and was very frustrated. I called a number of locksmiths and was able to speak directly with someone instead of having to leave a message. Luis was able to be at my house in 40 minutes. He worked hard to get me in. He was very kind, reassuring and considerate. He did a great job. The pricing was good too. Other locksmiths came in higher. I'd use them again. Thank you! read more

Quick Key installed an intercom/buzzer system for our condo building. They gave excellent service and a very good price (much less than competitors quoted for the same equipment). Although the job wound up taking much more work to complete than they had originally estimated, they stuck to their original quoted rate and kept at it until the unit was fully installed and functioning. They also recently made an after-installation service visit for no charge when a storm knocked out the intercom (and showed me how to fix it myself next time). I cannot rate Quick Key highly enough. They were highly skilled, hard working, gave an excellent price, and were a pleasure to work with. read more

Needed new mailbox lock when I bought a new condo. Called on a Monday morning and got the quote over the phone. Josh arrived within the hour. Called me when he was at the door and got the job done super quick. Now I can stop worrying about my mail piling up! I would definitely give them a call again in the future if needed. read more

I couldn't be more pleased with the service we just received from Jay of Quick Key Locksmith. After my buildings' preferred locksmith did a no-show, I called Quick Key and spoke a friendly, professional woman who had someone arrive at my building within 40 minutes. Jay arrived and showed me the problems and fixed everything perfectly. I appreciated their speediness but more so their professionalism. Quick Key is now my preferred locksmith service. read more

Amazing service...I lost my only key/keyfob for my car, after doing some research I found that there were automotive locksmiths that were actually able to cut a key, and replace and program a new key fob on site where your car is located. I found a few different services and got quotes from each of them...Not only was Gal the most prompt responder but he also gave me the most affordable quote. I made an appointment for the following morning. (He was also the only one who didn't give me the "I'm going to rip you off" vibe lol rather the opposite). Gal showed up, worked quickly, and was very easy going and polite...he ended up not having the exact fob I requested and instead gave me a fob that cost him more but still charged me the original quoted price. Gal literally made the situation as stress free as could be and was done programming 2 fobs in about an hour (I ended up buying 2 fobs for good measure). Can't recommend his company enough, really epic customer service. read more

They were extremely responsive and very quick to arrive. Mike was very professional and was able to resolve my issue quickly. I would recommend their services and especially Mike's assistance. read more

I highly recommend Quick Key locksmiths. The operator I spoke to on the phone was pleasant and knowledgeable and we had Greg show up at our door hours after I called. We just moved in to our new home and the movers were still working when Greg arrived. He was earlier than expected, super cool to talk to, and worked quickly despite the chaos. A short time later, he hooked us up with brand new lock and keys and explained everything. I cannot recommend or complement Greg enough, this guy is the best and the main reason why I would use this service again AND recommend Quick Key to family and friends. Thanks Greg!!! read more

This company is not a honest company. I have a buzzer system that the postal office key switch had a problem. They came replaced a part with about $200. Then they tried to ask me to replace the whole system with an about $3500 quote. Actually the whole system works just fine. I eventually found the part that they replaced at the Devon hardware store. It cost $8 and it takes only a few minutes to replace it read more

Ben was fantastic with rekeying my locks at my house and he was able to provide me with two sets of keys for kwikset smart lock and a jimmy proof lock. read more

Little confusion with the time, but they still got here and were more available than the other three I called. No complaints here-called in AM, were here same day! Kyle showed up at the adjusted time, found the problem ( low -voltage---strike release) and got it fixed in a most efficient manner. Real nice guy, explained everything, and didn't look for an opportunity to up-charge. Made sure everything was working before he left & emphasized if any problems-they stand behind their work. The price was excellent, and much more than fair for the expertise & time involved. Great company-great people! Thank-you Kyle! read more

Found these guys on Google - I called them to have a lock replaced, and the locksmith / tech (Jay) was onsite within 2HR (much quicker than expected, despite living very close to the business). Look forward to using these guys again! -Brian read more

Our association was looking for a great company to help us repair an old entry buzzer system. After calling QKL, Gal gave us an awesome, tangible estimate given the details and pictures we could provide. Scheduling was done in 48 hours (non-emergency), he arrived in the allotted 2-hour window, and did an excellent job. While visiting, he pointed out a couple additional projects our association needed done but hadn't contracted out the work yet for - he hammered all 3 entry projects out in less than 2 hours, including installing a new access gate knob. And the rates... not only tangible and transparent, but Gal did a great job at a fair cost. Very happy all around - I'll call them first next time we need help. read more

I work for a local company in downtown Elmhurst and we were looking for someone to fix the lock on our main door. The first locksmith we called gave us a ridiculous quote. When I called Quick Key, the person who answered was able to give me a quote over the phone that was more than half of what the first place quote. Anyways, within an hour Quick Key was able to send over their locksmith Josh. Josh was friendly and was able to get the job done in about 20 minutes. I would highly recommend if looking for a locksmith. read more

I recently moved into a condo with a storage unit in the basement. The unit had a knob lock with no key. After moving in I decided I needed to get the lock opened. I called quick key lock in the morning and requested they come to my condo that evening (between 8-9pm). Josh arrived right on time. I showed him down to the storage unit and it took him all of about 2 minutes to pop open the lock. My only gripe about this place and why I can't give them five stars: - The whole thing cost $120.00 ($10 off once I mentioned Yelp) - it was $55 just for him to show up and I have no idea why the rest of it was so $$. He did give me the quote before he did anything but I wasn't really in a position to negotiate. Granted I don't have a ton of experience with locksmiths but this seems high. - Also, they take cash, credit or personal checks - the credit card has a 3% convenience fee so I opted for the personal check. Just an FYI. read more

My digital safe didn't work and like an idiot, I lost the physical key. I tried youtube videos but couldn't do anything. I messaged Quick Key and they were very responsive. Long story short, they diagnosed the problem (bad batteries in my safe), picked the lock, and even made suggestions on a new safe. All the same day. No hard sell, just great customer service. read more

From my experience this place was a class act. They sent out Josh immediately and he was friendly, prompt, knowledgeable and all around very professional. I had them out to replace a door strike on the intercom. After examination Josh said he honestly didn't feel it needed to be replaced immediately and he just sprayed with some lubricant. It was getting old so I had him replace it anyway. Price was very fair. Josh also checked out a problem I had with another door and figured it out. Thanks JOSH! read more

I had been waiting over 4 hours for a company to come out but they flaked. I called these guys and J was here within 30 minutes! They were able to re-key 4 locks for a VERY reasonable price! Thanks so much to Chris in the office for getting someone out to me ASAP. J did a great job and it took less than 20 minutes! Thanks so much J! My only regret is I wish I would have called these guys first! read more

Called to get the pieces of information about the service we needed for our home, the operator claimed not to have a lot of knowledge and experience on services the company offers, clearly the guy was trying to rush me off the call. I was very disappointed. Be kind to all people or customers regardless of their ethics backgrounds. read more

Key and door repair was done within the time window quoted. The technician was friendly and helped me with another issue as well. I would definitely recommend this company if you have any lock needs. read more

This place was great! They were one of the cheapest options at rekeying my two new locks in the store for $19 per lock. Similar places were quoting me anywhere from $50-100. They locks themselves worked great when installed. The staff was also friendly and did the locks on the spot. The showroom was also entertaining playing with the keys. read more

Neither the door lock nor the dead bolt lock on my garage work. They were installed one month ago by quick key locksmith. They don't catch and the door pushes open. I called and was at first told that there would be an additional charge, but then they agreed to send someone out. I don't know what he did but the locks still don't work. I guess I'll have to call someone else to fix my locks. I'm not going to pay them to redo what I've already paid for. read more

I would recommend quick key locksmith. They responded quickly to my email and scheduled my appointment window at a convenient time. The locksmith, Leo, arrived as scheduled. He explained my options and had the equipment needed to replace a lock in our gate and a lock for our garage door. He was very efficient and knowledgeable. He told me the cost prior to beginning and there were no surprises. read more

I called Quick key (a friend recommended) to open my car. The service was freaky fast and 25 minute from the time that I called, the car was open. The guy was very professional and the price was fair. read more
