Was just walking around downtown this morning and stopped in on a whim to get a copy of my car key. Only $3 and was not here for maybe 2 minutes! Works like a charm. Cozy vibe in there. Will come back for future key and lock needs :)

They can not do new automotive laser cut keys but are great with everything else.

I highly recommend Gem City Key Shop. I have used them several times for my office. Very nice and professional and extremely reasonable prices! Can’t say enough good things about them!!

Avoid. Called to have 3 locks re-keyed. Gem subbed the job out to Expert Locksmith. Re-keying was $125.00 each lock. I was quoted $375.00 plus $29.00 service call, for a total of $404.00. Ended up charging me for replacing 1 door knob and 1 deadbolt ($200.00) and re-keying 1 lock. New door knob and deadbolt were not re-keyed to match. Now I have 2 entry door keys for my house that cost me $634.00. I called both companies to dispute the charge and neither have responded. I guess I will dispute the charge with my credit card company. Anyone know a good locksmith in Dayton, Ohio?
