What customers say

Several customers praise prompt service; one said four keys were made in seven minutes and all worked on the first try. Another customer reported that the owner did not follow through on an agreement, charged extra to cut a key bought elsewhere, and did not respond to messages; that reviewer described the business hours as hit or miss. A visitor reported finding no locksmith business or signs at the location in September 2025.

Saw another review dated 4 weeks ago with only pictures of empty space. I still went out as it was close to home, only lost 10 minutes of my day. There are no locksmith businesses on this location, no signs, no phone numbers, as of September 11, 2025. 5 stars otherwise people may miss this review and drive to find no business here.

Julia Bayne

Have used them for over 5 years now. They are great, know their stuff, don't try to sell you on extra stuff. Always have them cut you extra keys- their keys are far superior to the big box stores and you know you will need them someday. Very pleased with their service.
