Chicago Locksmiths

Nick was great! Very polite, patient, and willing to help however he could. I would recommend him any time you need a lock picked or replaced. Especially if you need them to arrive quickly. I originally called 2 other companies, and ended up calling Chicago Locksmiths after being told someone would eventually call but didn't. CL promptly returned my call and showed up at the time they stated they would arrive.

I needed to make multiple sets of keys and first tried one of those self-serve machines at a mass chain hardware store ??. Unfortunately, it could only copy one of my four keys, and I still ended up paying about $20. I still needed the rest copied, so I looked up local locksmiths and found Chicago Locksmith—and I’m so glad I did. I called ahead to confirm they offered same-day apartment key copying (they do!) and that they were open on a Sunday (they are!). I made the drive over, found parking nearby—$3.50 for 12 hours in the back, which was a bit of a bummer but not the shop’s fault—and headed inside. I requested four copies of three different keys, and they were quick, efficient, and super easy to work with. I also grabbed some key rings and label tags while I was there. Best of all, the total cost was under $45, which felt very reasonable for the amount of keys I needed. I was in and out in under 15 minutes. I’m also including a photo of 3 of the 4 sets of keys I had copied—4 from the hardware store and 12 from Chicago Locksmith—for comparison. Overall, a great experience. 10/10 recommend, and I’ll definitely be coming back if I need anything locksmith-related again! ???

Chicago Locksmith the real deal! I went in to get a new key fob and reprogramming done which should’ve took like 45min but Noe got it done in ten minutes! That boy super fast! My Jeep works just fine now! Really cool people at CL, very friendly atmosphere!
