Reviews
What customers say
Customers describe prompt, courteous locksmith service. One customer says the owner raised his voice and directed profanity at them after they asked about a spare car key, so they left without having one made. Another says they realized at the end that the key was not an original OEM key and felt caught off guard.

My toddler locked us out of our laundry room (again). CWJ Lock & Key gave me a quote that saved me about $35, scheduled me, arrived on time, unlocked my door, and installed my new knob.
Chuck was friendly and took his boots off before entering my apartment, without my request.
I would recommend them over and over again!

If I could give a negative star to this business I would sadly I can’t , I visited this business hoping to get a spare key made for my car but the way the owner of the store acted with me was very unprofessional , simply I asked him a question and he started raising his voice at me and directed profanity words to me . When I told him sir I am only asking you questions and have not insulted you or talked to you in a bad way why you being like this to me he said It’s people like you who make me like this and annoy me . It’s really horrible experience and the nasty customer service I have experienced from the store owner . I ended up just simply leaving his store and taking my money elsewhere . I am completely flabbergasted and disgusted on how someone can be this cruel to someone for only asking question especially of his age . I will never come back for sure and I will also will never stop sharing others with my experience .

They were prompt, courteous, efficient and reasonable to have my locks re-keyed and a new lock installed. They are also local to my area.

I've been here a few times - the staff is very professional and kind. They were able to clone one of my car keys for MUCH cheaper than a dealership, and much faster. They are knowledgeable and reasonable. 5/5 would recommend
Objective Reviews
Family owned, knowledgeable, competent. Needed a duplicate key for a modern vehicle which had to be cut and programmed. Price of key at most places was $200+ but here it was $160. These keys can be quite TRICKY -- but the owner had vast experience, and a can-do attitude (sometimes it takes a number of retries to sync the key to the car's computer). I would have given 5 Stars except at the end, I realized it wasn't an original OEM key (lacked logo on the rear)... if they would have told me that up front, I would have still purchased -- but wouldn't have been caught-off-guard. Nonetheless, I tried the key from a good 350+ feet away (in the city) and it had no problem reaching my vehicle. So, though an aftermarket FOB-Key, it seems high quality. I recommend their services, but try and find out what you'll actually be getting, before you pay.
