Sophie Goodman on Cohen's Key Shop Inc.

Are my locks rekeyed? Yes, but it was an unpleasant experience getting them there. I asked 3 times for an estimate and was not given one even though I provided the requested photos 4 days in advance of service. I had an appointment at 11am, and they called twice between 10-11am to see where I was — I told them twice that I was out and was not expecting them until 11, I would be there at 11. I arrived at my house at 11 as planned and promised.

The technician was exceedingly unpleasant to me, and the service was extremely expensive. Would not recommend.

This review is five star for the reason I went there.
Needed a key cut and had it done while I waited.

Some other reviewers did point out the unfriendly bald guy behind the counter though, I just chose to ignore his attitude as he may have personal problems.

That said, the shop looked well stocked and need I mention that I had been to several other places trying to cut same key all to no avail.

Also worth mentioning is the availability of parking space. This was an issue for me as a few places I went to down town had no parking space.

Also note there’s a minimum spend for card payments.

To the owner; Keep up the good work and perhaps get a smiley face-cover for the ?? staff member.

Frequently Asked Questions

The shop offers key cutting, residential lock rekeying, and basic lock repair or replacement. Availability for vehicle keys and certain high-security systems can vary, so it’s best to call ahead with details.

Simple key copies are typically handled as walk-ins during posted weekday hours. For rekeying or on-site work, calling to discuss timing and scope is recommended.

Same-day service may be possible depending on schedule and lock type. Contact the shop with photos and hardware details to confirm timing and cost before the visit.

Bring the working key and, if applicable, any key code card that came with the lock. For restricted or specialty keys, additional authorization or documentation may be required.

Call during business hours and describe the lock or key type; photos can help with accuracy. For on-site work, providing the address, lock brand, and number of cylinders will improve the estimate.
