  Custom Lock & Safe

  Tom at Custom Lock & Safe was just as excellent as all the reviews say.   We closed on a new house and I was nervous that days had passed before I focused on changing the locks.  He was able to accommodate me the same day I called (ironically within 30 min since he was nearby).  He showed up on-time.
  He re-key'd 5 doors (locks + deadbolts).  He also lubricated all the door mechanisms.  
  One of the locks had broken pieces inside (which he showed me), and rather than try to up-sell me on a brand new lock, he instead said he could take internal pieces out of another lock he had to replace the pieces at lower cost.  His honesty was greatly appreciated.
  In addition, he offered and helped reprogram my garage door openers, as well as made overall home security suggestions.
  His costs were very competitive, and I wish all contractors were as friendly & honest.  Thanks Tom!!!!

  Active Lock & Key Ltd

  Dale provided useful information regarding electronic keypad lock selection, and we were very happy with Mike, who performed the work.  When a door frame/handle placement issue prevented the immediate installation of the in-stock model, the company
  provided a temporary door knob and made a second visit to finish installing the ordered part at no additional charge.

  All Secure Lock & Key

  Called late morning. Randy answered. Said he was on another job in the south suburbs but could be out in about 4 hours the same day. That worked with our schedule. Randy called approximately four hours later to say he was on his way and would be to my house in about 10 minutes. Showed up as indicated. Work took about and frac12; hour. Very personable.
  
  Would definitely recommend and would use again.

  All Secure Lock & Key

  He came and fixed a lock that was falling apart. He arrived the same day, actually like a half hour after we spoke. He lived in town which was good that he was familiar with the neighborhood. He was a very honest guy and I trusted him, I would even refer him to my neighbors. It's hard to find someone in the lock business to trust.

  Bluebird Locksmith LLC

  As a woman being locked out of her home alone, I definitely was in a state of panic. Dave immediately made me feel at ease from the moment I spoke with him on the phone. He was extremely friendly and passionate about his job. He gave me helpful tips and advice as to how I could make my home safer and not to mention, he gave me a great deal. The experience with Dave at Bluebird could not have been better. I will never use another locksmith again, thanks Dave!

  NORTH STAR LOCK SERVICE INC

  North Star responded right away and came out to look at the lock we
  needed replaced. He gave us a quote for the service which we later
  agreed to. He had the part in stock but in a different color, which did
  not matter since the key slide would cover it up anyways. He came out
  when requested and replaced the necessary part.
  |The price seemed high but I have no experience with lock replacement
  services so I could be wrong.
  |We will use them again.
  *Update*  I have used North Star a total of 3 times now due to Jim's honesty and helpful advice.  Instead of ordering needless parts and charging for needless labor he has been honest in what he can and can't fix and also what is actually, truly necessary to be replaced.  I will continue to use him as my locksmith.

  Handy Men & Mrs Helper Kitchen & Bath

  our handyman came to investigate a number of problems... he was able to address all of them -- he was quick and resourceful fixing the requests he could, and he fixed a "loose" door latch (door to garage-kitchen kept "popping" open) that we hadn't first identified.  What he wasn't comfortable addressing he made a few recommendations of service providers to address and let me know all of this before he started doing ANY of the work.  
  The two things that impressed me most -- aside from being appropriately jovial, pleasant and professional -- 
  1) reputable -- when he got back from the hardware store and realized that the packaging had been "pilfered" with -- he did NOT charge us for a 2nd trip to the hardware store -- as situation was circumstantial
  2) he was quick and thorough in the work that he was able to complete; he was honest about what he was not comfortable fixing/addressing and he pointed out some other issues (insulation) with our home that we were otherwise unaware of!!  We will be saving some good $$ because he took the time/attention to say something

  EXPERT LOCK & SECURITY

  Once we were given a closing date for the purchase of our condominium, I called Gary because of his impressive reviews on Angie's List and made an appointment for him to change the locks.  The day we closed, he rekeyed two cylinders, made new keys and changed our garage door code.
  Gary was accommodating, prompt, professional, and honest.  His great Angie's List reviews are well deserved!  I highly recommend Gary and I will definitely use him again.

  NORTH STAR LOCK SERVICE INC

  I called Jim on Monday morning July 29. He made arrangements to come to my home that evening. Was prompt and knew exactly what was needed. Parts were ordered through Jim and repair was done 3 days later. I will definitely use only North Star from now on and refer whoever needs locksmith service.

  DeBlase's JC Lock Service

  The work was done correctly, fast and the additional charge for the extra work nominal.  Great service -- on time, very polite, through explanation of all work done.  Will definitely use this service again.
