The cylinder on my lock rotated out of position and the key was stuck inside. I called to ask for a locksmith, and he told me over the phone how to fix it myself (which worked) and didn't charge me anything. read more

Extremely impressed with these guys! They duplicated a 2014 CX-5 Mazda key fob, cut a new emergency key and programmed the fob. Everything works perfectly and they were by far the most reasonable price of anyone I talked to. Super easy to communicate with, helpful answers, quick work, would absolutely call them next time I need something! read more

Quick response. Didn't up sale to a new lock. Made sure old lock worked well. Also had duplicate car key made in his store. Fast. Extremely reasonable price read more

Lost my Honda HR-V Smart key. Y&B made a copy for me at a competitive price compared to what the closest dealership was asking. I suggest that you give the locksmith the exact part # of your key so they can get you the correct OEM key FOB before you show up. read more

Arrived so quickly after texting a photo of our lock. He came with various tools in case we needed a more involved solution but ended up using something simple and got us in in under 5 minutes. The lock remained intact. My kids were so eager to get inside and he was incredibly fast, friendly, and reasonably priced. I feel like another locksmith would have overcomplicated things and charged more. He had to shove the door a little so if you need a gentler touch just ask. We live in a doorman building and the job was perfect. read more

If I could, I would give them 6 STARS. This locksmith came to my rescue today. I needed a deadbolt, a good one today. And they came within a few hours. The price was very reasonable. They charged me much less than I thought it would cost me. The man who came to install the lock was nice and very professional. He did a great job on the lock. Then I needed to go to the store to get more copies of the keys. The workers at the store were very helpful and nice. They made copies of my keys quickly. My experience with this business was amazing. I definitely would recommend them to others. read more

Thank you again for installing my new lock!!! You were quick and professional. Thank you for providing a great service.

Not even a second into our conversation was the service completed and with amazing customer service. I was in full panic mode waiting for a scam experience or unfair prices and received the total opposite. I am glad I used Y&B Locksmith. Thanks again. read more

Absolutely terrible experience! The owner Yakov is extremely rude, unprofessional, and a shameless scammer. I used him once to before and the job was good, as far as I can understand. I recalled that he was extremely rude years back but decided to call him anyway. He was scheduled to come install new locks at my apartment yesterday. I ended up cancelling my plans because he insisted on coming right this minute. 30 minutes later I get a call from him. He made a mistake when reading the address and attempted to up charge me an additional $50 "service fee" for an extra 25 minute drive to my apartment. Do not do business with this person. Plenty of good locksmiths in NY that are respectful and operate with integrity. NOT THIS GUY! Stay away. read more

Yakov's prices were the best of the three locksmiths I called - they were reasonable and fair. He was very responsive and answered messages promptly. And most importantly, when he showed up he was very competent. The man knows his stuff! He didn't just repair the broken latch on my door, he reinstalled the knob so that it was more secure than before. I asked him about installing a deadbolt on another door in the house. I was worried about finding a deadbolt that matched the finishes of the knobs. He researched and found a matching deadbolt that was inexpensive and secure. Once again he not only did a great job with the deadbolt, but noticed that one of the plates on the knob was backwards, and also that the latch wasn't fully catching so the door could be pushed open with just a little force. He fixed all that, at no extra charge, and did a great job with the deadbolt too. Very happy with him, will use him again for any locksmith work. Highly recommended. read more

PAY $50 TO BREAK YOUR LOCK. You spend $50 for the man to come (although quickly) to unlock the deadbolt with a lock pick kit you can buy yourself with a technique you can teach yourself through online videos. Save your money and get a kit and learn. It will save you money... and the follow up money you will have to pay once Yakov comes. Here is where the fun part about Yakov comes in... he broke my deadbolt lock in the process of unlocking it and refuses to fix it but even better, he refuses to acknowledge that he broke it. So essentially, I paid $50 for Yakov to come to my house in twenty minutes to BREAK my deadbolt lock so I can get in.... so I can pay to have it fixed. At least acknowledge that you broke the lock. This is Brooklyn and now my front door cant lock. Thank you Yakov for breaking my deadbolt lock. As a young woman in her early twenties, I feel entirely safe now. read more

Saved my life! Left my keys in my apartment and Yavok was there in less than 20 minutes. $50 to get keyed in.

Had to change the cylinder of my door after another locksmith basically ripped me off. Yakov was here in no time and change the cylinder really quickly. The whole process took about 10 minutes. The price was reasonable too, compared to any other locksmith in the area. Thank you again read more

So I'm thoroughly impressed and appreciative for the service I received from Yakov. He got to me fast, he worked fast, his price was very fair and his work was efficient. He did not stop until the locks he installed for me were functioning smoothly and effortlessly. We had purchased our own locks and he didn't seem bothered by that at all. He was professional and knowledgeable on the phone, giving me a quote without hesistation. When he finished the work, he honored the price he told me. I had called other locksmiths that had good reveiews on Yelp before reaching out to Yakov. They were surprisingly very rude, overpriced and they didn't seem interested in helping me. I had planned on scheduling the work to be done on the next day but Yakov was willing to come to me the same evening without a problem. I'd refer him to others and use him again. read more

They don't deserve THE ONE STAR but this system would not allow me to proceed without it. Today I experienced the worst C/S ever. I walked into the store and the clerk never acknowledged me but I quickly realized I left the keys I wanted copied in the car. I walked out and when I returned again, the clerk never turned around to acknowledge me. So after about 10 seconds I said, it would be nice if you at least acknowledged a customer has entered the store. He replied "are you a teacher" I answered no I'm a customer and in my experience professionalism & courtesy should always be expected. His reply, "well you won't get either here". **Let me add, I'm a black woman and he was a white Jewish man.** I politely grabbed my things and walked out. I would never do business here and I suggest anyone reading this to do the same. Ignorance is bliss!!! read more

Got locked out of my house this guy showed up asap and replaced the part that was broke for a very affordable price very honest as well they tried to help me fix it over the phone before anything highly recommend. read more

Got locked out of my apt and called Y&B Locksmith. He showed up in less than 10 minutes, and opened my door in less than 1 minute. Cost was very reasonable as well. Would highly recommend. read more

Super amazing. Yacob said he would be there in 5 and he was. Very professional and kind. Was able to pick the lock instead of break it. Only $50. Hope I never have to call again but will if I need to. read more

Great service, reasonable fee, pleasant, quick! Would use again!

Called first to inquire about duplicating a high security key. The man who answered asked some pointed questions to help decipher my key type and whether they could do it, the cost, etc. The hours displayed online weren't accurate, but I was informed that the locksmith is connected to a copy shop next door that is open til 8:00 and he told me they'd be able to duplicate my key. I went and they did at a lower price I was quoted at another key duplication place in the area. It is not a polished establishment, per se--small, older and buzzing with various services inside commensurate with the feel of other Jewish establishments in the neighborhood. But there was order to the chaos and the shopkeepers addressed me very quickly and with courtesy when I entered. Diverse clientele all with a friendly and satisfied neighborhoody air. This will be my go-to for key duplication in Crown Heights. Oh, make sure you bring the card that goes with your high security key. read more

the place is great to get all those little odd jobs done but the line for the counter is in the same spot as where you can make copies. it can get pretty squished if there are too many people in the front of the shop. read more
