I got a medeco deadbolt lock installed on my door some years ago, and had Webster install it. My mom loved the lock and wanted one for herself too, so she had me buy the lock and have Webster install it. They are great! I'm leaving this review now cause I saw one of their vans recently read more

absolutely unprofessional. Even when you call in advance for information they are not able to do their jobs. find another place for your hardware needs. they were condescending and down right disrespectful. read more

Rocky was AMAZING!!! The young lady who took my info over the phone misunderstood the mission. Rocky thought the job was for the management company and not the resident themselves. Rocky assessed the situation and fixed my old mortise lock. this things easily 70yrs old! Rocky mannerism was excellent! Even with my 4yr old running around making a lot of noise! Webster Lock & Hardware and Rocky is the place and person you want handling your Lock issues!!! read more

First time calling for service and I was made with so much rudeness it was ridiculous. Once they came back on the phone, I let them know that is totally rude to talk to customers in the matter that they do so really unprofessional. This company does not deserve not even Star. read more

Made an appointment with them days in advance for our new apartment at co-op city for a Saturday between 2-4 pm. At 3:30 I called to confirm the appointment. The girl said that I was his next stop. Waited... waited... waited. At 5:10 pm I called again and the office was closed. No voice mail or anything. We waited til 6pm and left. No call at all! How is this a way to do business. They should be embarrassed after being around so long and to do this to people! read more

Not sure who answers the phone but the female employee definitely lacks people skills. Super nasty, aggressive, and unprofessional. Too nasty for the morning... like find your passion and a new career if this isn't for you. This is a business not the block. read more

I have used them for years. New York is old, and so are some keys to buildings. try taking one of those old keys to Home Depot or mom and pop locksmith and they can't copy it. The front door key for one of the buildings I manage couldn't be duplicated anywhere other than at Webster. They didn't have the key in stock but we're able to fabricate a key to be cut to match the one I need a copy of. read more

Great job, quick and very courteous! Professional service all the way. I would highly recommend to any current tenants or future tenants this lock smith company read more

Don't waste your time here. Requested to get a lock replaced sometime in August 2021. I was given a quote and I was told it would take a month to get the lock, I asked Ryan to proceed. In November, I called Webster Lock to find out about my order, I spoke to Maria and she said the quote had changed, I asked for the order to be placed, even asked if I needed to make a deposit and I was told I didn't need to. Finally, I called today to check the status of my order and Maria told me my order was never approved and the order was never placed. This is terrible service and I wish I never ever wasted my time with Webster Lock and Hardware. read more

Came to program my car key. They didn't program it and kept me waiting for an hour because they blocked my car with a different car that they were working on and the manager refused to clear the way. The manager was very rude, unprofessional and didnt seem to care at all. read more

I went into the store to get a lock and the employees was rude very nasty when I asked him a question about a lock he was very evasive I walked out the store and got the same lock at lowes for 20 dollars it worked racism still exist if you dont believe me go to webster lock. read more

I called this AM about a troublesome lock that wouldn't catch properly. By 10:30, JD was here. He reviewed the situation, showed me what the problems were and how he would resolve them. It's not quite noon, and he's done and gone, and the door closes and the lock locks better than I ever remember it locking. Total cost: $136. Very highly recommended. Oh, and if you need one of those expensive Toyota car fobs, they do them here. $200 instead of the $400 Toyota charges. read more

Called a service request for a metal door of my warehouse. They came by lunch time and redid the three hinges, tighten up the lock and it was a brand new door! Thank again. I had them also rekey my two entrance doors here and they were quick, reliable and fair priced. read more

I would give no stars if I could. This place is unethical. I paid $200 for a new car key. I was told there was a warranty and should being the key back with the receipt if anything goes wrong with the key. Well, my remote stopped working. I too the key back and the (white) manager was rude and dismissive to me and refused to honor the warranty stating I could pay for a new battery If I want to, but they cannot do anything. The Latino people there were courteous but deferred to the rude man. Get your locksmith needs taken care of at a shop where you are treated with respect and your business is appreciated. Don't waste your time at Webster Lock and Hardware on East Fordham Road! read more

Terrible experience. Tried to give this business 400$ for a set of car keys for a 2011 Honda Fit. Walked inside on 4 different occasions they kept telling me to come back in 2 days so they order the parts. They never did and played dumb everytime on my 5 time there they said I needed to pay upfront so they can order the parts. The car key guys have no idea what they're doing read more

I needed a reliable locksmith to move my lock from one apartment to the next. After checking around I was advised to call Webster Locksmith. The people answering the phones were always gracious and professional. Keith, the technician for my appointment, went above and beyond. He removed the lock from the previous door in record time and after installing it in the current door, went an extra step to make sure the lock worked properly AND the door closed properly. I highly recommend Keith and Webster Locksmith. read more

We had the pleasure of having the Locksmith Michael. He went above and beyond his normal duties. The wood in our door was rotten and worked creatively to secure our home. I am very satisfied and will call them for our future needs. read more

Allan saved my life and Valentine's Day! 10 am my wife locked herself and our bags out of our apartment before we were scheduled to leave for a romantic weekend. Called 10 locksmiths who quoted me crazy prices and long wait times with no gty Allan has his team come out and my wife and I are on our way to our romantic getaway. Very reasonable price. A+ family business, love these guys! read more

Unprofessional and unreliable. I called in the wee hours of the morning (maybe 2:00 or 3:00 am) and the locksmith never came! Let that sink in a minute. A woman, needing a locksmith at 2:00/3:00 am, being told that "he's on the way", and he never shows up. How are they still in business? read more

Let me begin by saying I would give this place zero stars if I could. I took the time to read some of the other reviews and I'm glad to see that there are plenty others who share my sentiments. I recently went in the store to ask for a duplicate key for my apartment door. The problem is the key says it's not to be duplicated. The person who lived in my apartment prior to me brought a special lock that requires a card, showing you purchased it. In short, I requested to speak with a guy I assume was the owner (pete or peter.)I cannot express how: rude, short, smug disrespectful and down right nasty he was to me. He cut me off a number of times while shooting questions at me before I could even finish a sentence and his breath smelled. He treated me as if I was coming in to try and duplicate someone else's key. He had no respect for me as a customer and I witnessed him talk very hard to an employee. Let me be clear, it wasn't so much that he said he could not do it.. it was how he spoke to me. Yelling " what am I suppose to do cut and key for you not knowing who it belongs too." I IMPLORE ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE BRONX AND IN THE NEARBY COMMUNITY TO NEVER SPEND YOUR MONEY IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT. THE OWNER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND HIS DISRESPECTFUL ATTITUDE SPEAKS TO THAT. I WILL URGE EVERYONE WITH EARS TO NEVER SPEND THIER MONEY WITH WEBSTER HARDWARE. lastly, do not purchase the overpriced locks that require a card for duplicate keys. If for any reason in the world you lose the key and card you will not be able to get a duplicate key and you will be at a lost of 200+ dollars for a lock. Do better Webster Hardware. Jussjess read more

I'm so annoyed!! Paid damn near $500 in CASH for work and less than 8 hours after the installation got locked in my apartment!!! I had to take the lock off the door to get out!! When I called them to take a look at the lock I was told I had to wait until MONDAY!!! WTF! I am lost for words!! I don't like slamming anyone NOR do I get any joy in writing negative reviews; however this is so upsetting. Customer service deserves no stars. I don't understand why they advertise 24/7 service when it's apparent they don't!! UPDATE: After placing a call and sending an email, the company sent another locksmith the next morning to repair the faulty installation. I'm pleased the manager decided to send someone out without having me wait until Monday. Hopefully, the lock will not jam up again. read more

Great guys...change my lock with no problems...Definitely highly recommend Webster Lock...Great affordable price

The person assigned to me came within reasonable time. Very polite and knowledgeable. He unlocked my door and I couldn't be happier. I will certainly call Webster Locksmiths in the future and will recommend them to friends and family. Thank you read more

These negative reviews are most likely from the haters!. Once you stop over at Webster Locksmiths you will realize how long and how much exspierence these guys have especially the fact that its a third generation family owned and operated buisiness!! Also one of the Largest operations in the new york city!. So lots of people will envy and hate but its pretty cut and dry what you get over at Webster! read more

I went in to the store to get the deadbolt lock in my home replaced. I made an appointment for them to come to my home the following day between 2-4PM. I received a call at 2:17PM saying the technician could not find my address. After getting my proper address, I was told that the technician would arrive shortly. I called back 90-minutes later to find out what was up because they did not show. I was told that the technician got caught up at his previous job but was on his way. I called back at 4PM to ask what was going on. I was told that they would reach out to the technician to find out what was the delay and call me back. I waited until 5PM and no one showed up or called to follow-up. I called the store but they were closed and they don't open on Sundays. I guess they must be super successful to afford to have such poor customer service. Needles to say I will be reaching out to another locksmith to get a new lock for my door. read more

The technician you guys sent to my residence is a good knowledgeable locksmith the guy was 5 star worthy... thank you

Great service! Fortunately, I don't use locksmiths often, so I cannot compare service or price with other companies, however I have dealt with many different kinds of service providers in my life and can honestly say the service I received from Webster Lock was outstanding. Starting with my first phone call and conversation with Romeo, I knew I had made the right decision to follow my building's management company's advice to call Webster. Romeo patiently and pleasantly answered my several questions and addressed all of my concerns. He was similarly professional during follow-up calls. The locksmith who installed my new door lock, Jon, was diligent and equally professional and courteous, with a good sense of humor. My door lock is working fine and I am a happy customer. read more

I actually had an awesome lock Smith his name was David I highly recommend him .....He has a great sense of humor he was the best very down to earth had me laughing more than anything something I needed more than ever.... some one attempted to break in my houses and was unsuccessful.... I was in a terrible mood but he left me with a smile ...he also taught me a few things that I was unaware of about my lock and what to look for great info ...I will definitely chooses Webster lock smith a thousand times if I could thanks again great work read more

A suspected fire in the apartment above me caused the fire dept to break down my door so I needed a company that could install in prompt time in the same make and door-locks. Webster did it for me. The owner, David, was courteous and very quick in response with emails and his service. The tech they sent us, Rene, did an absolute fantastic job with my door. He tinkered, installed, re-installed when it didn't fit right, shaped, shifted and finally perfected it. My door and frame are as good as new. Not quite sure what all the hoopla's about with the negative reviews below and even if they did a poor job with it, seems like they're quick to try and resolve any issues. Give these guys a chance and stop with the stupid overly dramatic drama-queen-like reviews!! Yours truly, Satisfied. read more

Unprofessional, Poor Customer Service- The employees here have no regard for your time and are not inclined to providing customer service (rude). The owner (manager) has poor communication skills as well. (save your time and money, trust me!!) read more

Rudest and most unprofessional people. When the owners (Peter) are also unprofessional and rude and they allow their staff to be rude (Simon, Jeremy); as well as not honoring their word and lying (which in the home safety field is a big red flag) then you know you have to run, not walk, away from this company. Any landlord who uses this company must be a slumlord who doesn't care about your safety. If you are an individual who is shopping around for a locksmith for any of your apartment needs DO NOT call this company. You will be disappointed every step of the way. Speaking from personal experience. PART I they sent 2 inexperienced "technicians" to repair a phone intercom system and they DID NOT know how to do the job. WASTED TIME! PART II is they measured the window wrong in May, disappeared, re-appeared in August, lied about disappearing, made an installation of gate appointment (after a series of emails), then brought the gate which was FILTHY and the WRONG SIZE. Photo shows their guy *re-measuring the window after he damaged the window ledge by trying to shove in the too large gate. Said he would have to order a new gate with the right size. Then on the assigned date another guy shows up with only a drill in his hand. "Where is the new gate???" They never made a new gate. Then turned around and invented a lie to the landlord to hide their incompetency. Complete waste of time. Horrible people. Horrible customer service. Horrible experience. And now they are harassing us by sending us hate emails. OMG!! Please if you value your sanity and your safety STAY AWAY FROM THESE ABUSIVE and reckless people. If landlord were not using this place I WOULD NEVER USE. read more

See all

I grew up in the Bronx. Webster locksmith was like family to us. Lots of years of getting service from them. You start to know and bond with the workers. After I moved to Orange County NY when I'm the city and need a copy of a key we go to them. Thanks for the years of service read more

They replaced our door. The installation went quickly and the door works well. However, the agent used white caulk and was so sloppy with it, I would have to say don't use these people. What are they children. Sloppy workmanship is all I see. My door looks like I am in a Third world country. Avoid this group read more

My building said that they use this company... called thursday and never got a call back. Called friday, jeremy was friendly enough on the phone. Was advised that they only do service calls mon-fri 10-4... WTF? In this day and age..... since i had no choice (building is paying) i rearrange everything, leave my keys with the super, secure the cat in another room... to then have NO ONE SHOW UP! When i call to complain i was advised by Dave the owner something along the lines of "i dont control that, my manager does and he's gone for the day!" Then he hung up on me. Nice waste of time.... read more

Had a broken intercom, so I called Webster Hardware, who installed the system in my apartment building originally. Spoke to Jeremy, who was very friendly (as was the young lady who initially answered the phone) and he had someone come out the same day. The repairman - I think his name is Morell? - was also very friendly and efficient. He did a great job, and all is working well now. Overall, very professional and a great experience. Will definitely stick with this company for future needed repairs. A+! read more

This was my second time using Webster at our condominium complex and the experience has been consistent. I spoke with Simon at 9:30 AM this morning and asked if he would be able to fit me in and he said he'll do his best. The locksmith Jeff showed up here at 12:20 PM, installed a push bar and cylinder and was done in 30 minutes. They come when they say they are and they do pro work. I'm saving the fifth star for when they return. We will be using them again. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The customer service and operational procedure here is a total joke. I placed an order at their store last Saturday for a high security lock and a door latch. Tuesday morning, the guy arrives without the items to do the install. Apparently I was supposed to be given them at the time of purchase, which is odd, but ok? He only had one lock in his van and left. No follow up from him or the office or management. I called the very next morning, which was this past Wednesday at exactly 10:02AM and confirmed with someone over the phone that they would come back that Saturday (today). Of course, no one arrives. I call and speak to their manager Allen, who tells me nothing was on the books for that day for me. I get upset naturally (as this is the 3rd screw up now) and he states: "tell me the person you spoke to and I'll send a guy right now with the locks". Really? Wonderful- so I have to prove I spoke to your staff in order to get what I paid for? He then goes onto heckle me throughout the conversation. To make matters worse, he didn't even know what I ordered as they don't keep any customer records. I gave him my name, address and nothing. I had to fish for my receipt and tell him what I ordered exactly, so he can reschedule my service date. What business in 2018 has no POS database to keep track of customer orders?? I contemplated cancelling the rest of the order, but unfortunately this particular lock was only $34 bucks so I might as well wait for the next install date. If it was the high security lock I paid $256 for I would have CANCELLED! Business lost. I'm so sorry I ever went here, and want to advise others not to go. It was suggested by my management company to go here, and I'll make it a point to let them know NOT to refer tenants here. Advice to ownership: hire new management with better people skills and invest in POS equipment so your staff can keep track of things. Terrible, terrible, terrible service. read more

Zero Stars. Do not hire Webster Lock. My buildings management had them replace an intercom in my condo. Cancelled appointments for 2 weeks, and when they finally came they damaged the wall and did a shitty job. On top of that, their management was offensively rude on the phone when trying to mitigate the issue. They will not be paid. Do not hire them. read more

Measurements of my door was taken in July and a new door was supposed to be installed on Aug 31st, the guys come and started working only to realize the door wouldn't fit because the previous guy took the wrong measurements or someone ordered the wrong size door, the guys were nice and said call on Tuesday to speak with Erica (who's on vacation for the holiday) bc they couldn't do anything more to the door. I called on Tuesday, Sept 4th and left a message with Jackie for Erica. Jackie said she knew about situation and she had my info on a sticky and needed to speak with Erica. I waited all day no call back, no call back on Wednesday. Finally I called again on Thursday and left a message with a guy, still no call back on Thursday or Friday. Here it is Sunday and I now have to wait until Monday, Sept 10th to call again. It makes no sense why I couldn't get a simple call back saying I'm aware of the situation, I'm sorry the door couldn't be installed this is what we're going to do to fix the situation. I understand the correct size door needs to be reordered but at least call the customer. Instead no one calls. My management building made the arrangements and now I'm stuck with no door and no one to help. read more

This company is totally professional. My newly renovated building's front door was installed incorrectly by the builder. The challenge for Webster was to install a door closer where there was no room for one and to provide a latch handle on the inside to open the door. They figured this out and came up with an elegant and innovative solution. read more
