I had a bad latch on my key fob, so I went in to see my options for replacement. Rather than being forced to buy a full replacement, Kyle ordered a new case for a fraction of the cost. When the delivery got delayed from problems with shipping, he asked for my number and personally reached out to me when the package had arrived. When I went in to replace the case, he told me I was free to go with no charge. Sure Lock and Key is a gem in Kirkwood, and I really appreciate Kyle for his communication and flexibility!! read more

Sure Lock & Key - The fob replaced - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

On time, although could not fix my mistake Porter went out of his way to help , even calling back with some suggestions. Service call was a very "fair " charge. Would trust them next time for sure thank u! read more

Had a technician come over for 30 seconds to tell us he couldn't re-key the lock that day for whatever reason. No big deal. He told us we wouldn't have to pay for the visit. When my wife called to schedule a follow up, we were told we DID have to pay for it. When my wife told the owner what the technician had said, he cut her off, told her that didn't happen, told her they would never say that. Treated her with no respect. When they came back to do the lock, the technician called the boss to confirm we had to pay for the initial visit and this guy (loud enough to hear) said she was full of it, using all kinds of colorful language. Part of this tantrum included saying she was going to be put on their "list." Whatever that means. Total overreaction to a reasonable request. This review is not about the price - it's about the way you treat people. If technicians are telling people they don't have to pay for stuff, that's between you and them - not the customers problem. Won't use them again - would recommend the same to others. read more

I needed a new key fob for my car. Its was quick and easy. People were wonderful to do business with. I need another one brought the key in but they also need the car there. I will go back read more

Great customer service on the phone, clear and knowledgeable. Excellent installation tech. A really great experience.

The key fob died suddenly so I called up Sure Lock & Key for help. The key is a 'high security' type that can not be cut like an old timey key. Kyle did a fantastic job getting the new key cut and programmed and he did it very quickly. Excellent work, cheery attitude, and the price is right. While I was waiting several customers came in with locks and keys, looking for help. Not eavesdropping but the owner of Sure Lock knew where the lock was used, noted that the key was quite uncommon, and then found a key that he got to fit. The lock was freed up, cleaned up, and the happy owner was on his way. This place has customer service and a can-do attitude that is rare to find - like finding a gem in the desert. I told Kyle that I would tell all my friends about Sure Lock & Key so here is my review. If you need anything related to locks, keys, security items, and you want top-notch work and great customer service then head to Sure Lock & Key. read more

I went to Mexico and my bag was stolen that contained my car keys! I called Kyle at Sure Lock from Mexico and he took care of me.

Great business ethics and better value than the big car dealership route! read more

FALSE ADVERTISING!! Warning to all! After verifying from their written ad that they could copy my key, I travelled quite a distance to be told that they don't copy my car key, although their ad said they did. Don't bother with them unless you are desperate & want to waste your time & gas. They are not truthful!! They Lie & waste your time. read more

We had an appointment today from 11 AM to 1 PM. to have our locks at our new house changed. at 1:15 no one had shown up so my husband left a message with his phone number to call to find out if someone was going to show up. It is now 4:03, one has shown up nor has anyone called.s We took time out of our day to sit at an empty house waiting for someone to keep an appointment. This is quite unacceptable. read more

Sure Lock & Key - Showroom - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Great service and extremely knowledgeable locksmith. I highly recommend this locksmith for any lock/door issues you have.

Won't even duplicate a car key. Insists on $129 service plan instead of just a simple duplication. Ridiculous!

Called, the receptionist could speak English and understand my question. Russ came out within a day for a small job, needed a file cabinet key. Friendly, figured a way to make an impression of my lock and from that made two keys on the spot. Reasonable price too! Very happy with their service, highly recommend. Doug M. read more

I needed a replacement smart for my Toyota. I contacted the dealership I bought the car from and was told it would cost me $469 and take a few days to get the key and schedule the programming. I then called a few locksmiths and only one said they could do the job but it would take 10 days. I then called Sure Lock and was told they had two in stock and would cost $209. I drove over and was treated by extremely courteous technicians. Kyle was the tech who programmed the key to my car and was done in a few minutes. it also came with a two year warranty. Fantastic service. I highly recommend it. read more

If I could give Zero stars I would. They started out very professional. The guy came out on time looked at my commercial building. I advised him I wanted the double deadbolt looks. He took inventory of what I needed and said he would get back to me. Three weeks later I had not heard anything form them so I gave them a call. The owner said he was waiting for me to get an approval from the Fire Marshall to have double deadbolt locks and push bars on my doors at the same time. I advised him that no one contacted me from his establishment telling me to do so. I informed him those are state guidelines because I am a daycare and not the Fire Marshall. He insisted I get something from the Fire Marshall. I called the Fire Marshall and he did not know. He instructed me to contact building and planning. Building and planning advised they did not have a problem with it but during business hours the double deadbolts must remain unlocked. But he advised the State regulation is the final say so. I called Sure Lock and Key back to explain that is was not an issue to have push bars and double deadbolt locks. He advised if something happened to people he would be responsible. I informed him I would sign a waiver. He said he did not want to do it and did not feel comfortable. He overstepped his bounds. He is a locksmith and not a building code regulation committee. He should have told me that in the first place instead of wasting my time. He is an arrogant, racist SOB. If I was not a minority owned business I don't think it would have been an issue. Please boycott this place and do not spend any money with him. Your money is your voice for injustice. read more

Had a really poor experience here. We are in the midst of a major home renovation and not of the crappy whatever ugly, ubiquitous garbage you can get off the shelf at big-box home improvement store variety. We're doing something unique which can make sourcing supplies a challenge. Many of our items have to be custom ordered. We came in here looking for some help finding a doorknob outside of the normal mass-production specs. I know that most stores aren't going to have oodles of products that meet this need but every other place we've visited has at least tried to help us and offered up suggestions. The man working here was rude and laughed at us. I get that most people don't share my design taste but I absolutely no patience for being so overtly mocked in a situation where I was planning on spending 4-5x (possibly more) than a typical knob set would cost. Someone will get my money but it will definitely never be this place. read more

I went in to have a blank key cut. Yes, I had my own, more than willing to pay for the service of having them cut my blank car key. Kevin who apparently is the owner asked their Auto guy, Kyle, if he would cut my bank. Kyle replied no. OK, no biggies, I was disappointed in that they would not even cut a key as a service, most auto service centers will allow you to bring in your parts and they will do the install and change as a service. Well, Kevin turns to me and says nope they won't do it, and then very snarkily says why would they even do it. I am in my head saying, well you cut keys, all I wanted was to pay you to cut my new key. Very disappointed with this attitude and lack of working with the customer. I am sire I am one of only a few who found the correct key and even bring it in. I will now find elsewhere to take my business to. read more

The downstairs bathroom door accidentally got locked...no key to be found. When I called to make an appointment they recognized the urgency of it and told me they would call me if they got a cancellation. They did! The guy who came and took out the old lock and put in the new one was very polite and informative. Highly recommend these people!! read more

I had an excellent experience with Russ at Sure Lock and Key. He was able to fit me in on a Saturday afternoon and had my office door unlocked and re-keyed within 15 minutes. As a female business owner I often feel wary of being taken advantage of by tradesmen, and have been scammed and talked down to before by other companies. But not with Sure Lock and Key - Russ was professional, friendly and clearly experienced in his craft. I highly recommend this locksmith. read more

Scene: frigid day #349761043 (it seems) of the STL Polar Vortex. 0630 I start up my car, retreat back inside to gather my things for work while it warms up, return back out and BOOM, car's gone. Swiped in about 8 minutes. Not only was my car stolen, but my wallet was attached to the keyring, so that was gone, too (this wasn't my brightest moment today, okay?!) Multiple phone calls, police visit, credit card shut downs, puffy cry-face and smeared mascara, claims filing, recorded insurance adjustor statement, exhaustion. Realization that in addition to my car and my wallet went my apartment key. Sh*t. Perp knows where I live, obvs. Enter: Sure Lock & Key. Referred to them by my uncle, who gets his locks done by one of their locksmiths, Russ. They fit me in, despite a packed day. AJ came out during the time block specified. He was a kind person, and quick and efficient in changing my front door's lock and making the keys. However, I didn't have the full amount of money quoted to me because...MY WALLET WAS STOLEN. AJ made a call to his boss, and I guess they took pity on me. I got a very nice discount. I thought it was extremely compassionate of them. Because of this, they've made a loyal customer out of me. Thank you Russ, Kevin, and AJ. These are good people, y'all. Hit them up for your lock needs....I just hope your experience will be under better circumstances than mine! read more

This is what I want in a locksmith. Met every expectation and knew his trade well. I needed a key made for a new car. The car had chipped ignition keys, and I wanted a key to open the doors, but NOT start the car, just in case I locked my keys in the car. I specifically wanted a chipless key that would unlock my doors but not start my car. The guy behind the counter did just that for me. He didn't lecture me about chips, and didn't tell me corporate policy dictates they can't do it. I was happy and left as a satisfied customer. I had went to ACE Hardware right up the road and they refused the make the key. It seems Sure Lock and Key knows how to satisfy a customer, and corporate based ACE Hardware does not. This is why we need to keep our "Main Streets" strong and not always opt for the big box corporate powerhouses who dictate what service we are "allowed" to request. Thanks again Sure Lock...you now have a customer for life. read more

We knew the people who sold our house to us were weird based on many things we found when we moved in, but we got a little freaked out when one day, shortly after moving in, I tried to use my key on the back door and it didn't work. What did this mean? They had not given us the key to that door AND it was different than the one from the garage and the front door. What did I do? I called Sure Lock & Key stat to get all of our doors rekeyed. The locksmith came and did his work quickly and efficiently. He was really nice and patient in explaining security to me. I was concerned with having good locks to prevent anyone from getting in. He gave me a lot of information that helped me decide on what would be the best for us and reassured me as to the security of my house outside of an alarm system. He also explained that the back door lock that we didn't have a key to was probably something they did for themselves because it was a totally different kind of lock than the other ones. We had to replace the lock entirely or have a different key for it. We decided to replace it so we could minimize the amount of keys we needed. The locksmith went through with me to make sure my keys all worked and the locks locked to my satisfaction. I was highly satisfied! read more

The moment I closed on my new house, the very next thing on my mind was getting all of the doors rekeyed. I'm paranoid like that. Plus, it's just a smart thing to do. Sarah S. recommended Sure Lock & Key. I called and set up an appointment with no problem. The technician was at my house about 15 minutes early, which was nice. After I showed him which doors needed to be rekeyed, he quickly got to work. He was speedy, polite, and efficient, which is all I can ask for! The price also was reasonable. I highly recommend! read more

They showed up on time. Did the work as promised. He was super nice and came in under the quote given on the phone. Thank you! read more

Cute place, quick and helpful service! After getting turned away by other places to get a copy of MY car key made. Yeah that's right, other locksmiths actually accused me of making keys for a car that don't own... as I stand there with my car title and drivers license in hand (AND my old key was CLEARLY busted and needed replacing). But I'm glad they turned me away because now I have the place that I will be doing a lot more business with in the near future! read more

After losing too much money to a person who claimed to be uniquely qualified to duplicate my car key, which takes a particular machine to do, upon recommendation from a long standing business that said they could not but said Sure Lock may be able to, I went by the same day and once made went home to try it out and was excited that it did work. I am very pleased with their very professional service and at a very reasonable cost and will go back for more soon. read more

Russ was extremely knowledgeable about old doors and old locks and modernizing my home with new hardware. Highly recommend.
