Their technician came to re-key three locks. When he arrived I realized I did not have the keys and…read moreif he would just forget about the service fee and come tomorrow, we can do it then. "No problem, I can pick the lock". 25 minutes later still no luck. He just made up excuses about why he couldn't get the lock open. (Maybe 3-4 year old lock) Charged me the $100 service fee. Anyway, he then tried to sell me $500 worth of locks after I told him my budget was $300. He didn't care so I told him forget it and "I'll let you know about tomorrow" as he left. The next day I received a text saying he was on his way over when I NEVER EVEN OK'd his coming over. Nothing but high pressure here. Complete scam job. BEWARE! They will try to sell you expensive locks. And he kept telling me "look out for these other locksmiths, they're out to get you". Sorry Goldy Locks, YOU are the company out to get customers.

Let me start by saying, finding a reputable locksmith is way harder than I expected. Nobody I knew…read morehad a solid recommendation... not even my Facebook moms group, and they usually know everything. That should've been my first clue that this wasn't going to be easy. Most of what I found online felt more like random handymen, and several only took cash, which made things feel a little off. I ended up being referred to Paul by another locksmith who didn't cover my area, and I'm so glad I followed through. Paul was quick to respond, had reasonable rates (especially for same-day service), showed up exactly when he said he would, and knocked the job out fast and efficiently. No drama, no sketchiness, just honest, professional work. Highly recommend Paul if you want someone dependable, fair, and above board. I'll definitely be keeping his info for the future!

I had an excellent experience with Chicago Locksmith and was extremely pleased with the entire…read moreprocess and final results. Because my project involved a custom door replacement that required condo association approval, custom ordering, painting, lock placement, and installation, there were several phases involved. Throughout it all, the team remained professional, responsive, organized, and attentive to detail. Walter, the locksmith technician who handled the project from beginning to end, did an outstanding job. His workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stood out, and the finished result exceeded my expectations. Chicago Locksmith is lucky to have someone such as Walter that is extremely skilled, professional and pleasant to deal with. I also want to recognize the Chicago Locksmith office staff for their excellent customer service and communication throughout the process. Everyone was courteous, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. Overall, I highly recommend Chicago Locksmith for their professionalism, quality work, and outstanding service.

Perhaps he is of Irish heritage, I never had the opportunity to find out 1) I have seen over 300 photographs of his work This man is the very BEST if you are only looking for a handyman or have no assistance from even an essentially useless husband in the paint or a long hair clogged shower drain 2) Shay is a LIAR I appreciate that he was willing to drive out to The suburbs of Chicago from all the way East in Logan Square His estimate is NOT free as Yelp guaranteed He requires photographs (easy peasy) of the locks as well as *$45* to even come out to take a look He broke the Yelp Guarantee right there Chicago Locksmiths should be banned from Yelp same as nobody should have voted for Trump. There were zero good choices but at least ond was NOT a babbling dementia suffering 90 yeat old 3) Shay claims the his primary concern is home and auto safety If that were actually true then with photos in hand he has zero reason to have a $45 fee to take a look I have zero reason to take issue with Shay - especially his quality of work All that I know is that Shay LIED to Yelp in order to gain business and if that works for him, then I do not give a fxck I shall not be used I have Elite and All-Star status that I EARNED with Yelp and followers Every single one of my Yelp reviews are shared with Google I sincerely hope that my review discourages anybody and everybody from hiring Chicago Locksmiths

They didn't work and I spent HOURS driving back and forth to have them try again, and ultimately to return them), Mark made copies of the key quickly and they worked! and when we needed some springs in our lock fixed, Mark was responsive! He told me he would arrive in about an hour, and about ten minutes out gave me a courtesy call to let me know he was close by. He not only fixed the lock, he also tightened up the screws and the screen door (that would slam shut previously). Mark was courteous, kind, professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole experience. Definitely going with Mark again anytime we have any key/lock needs! Thank you!

The tech, Artie, was nice and completed the job in about thirty minutes. That said, the amount I was charged seemed really high, and was far above what I was originally quoted.

For that, I commend them.

Everything you would like from a locksmith. We needed some locks re-keyed. The woman who answered…read morethe phone was professional. The prices I were quoted were flat fees rather than hourly, and they were competitive versus the competition. Even better, this leads to no surprises at billing time. Josh arrived within my preferred one hour time frame. He was professional, friendly, (and since I was curious) informative. He did everything right--even after bumping into a small puzzle of a problem--with patience and grace. You might say, "Your points are granted. But nevertheless, why 5 stars rather than 4?" You got me there. Really, what else could they have done for the extra star? "They could have offered you a beer." Yes indeed they could have. Therefore I offer this qualification of my five star review: Don't contact them if you were expecting a free beer.
