I needed the lock replaced on the door that leads from the garage to the house. I called them and arranged a time. They came out, replaced it, and I was quite happy. The only wrinkle is that I think it's better to come a bit late than too early. I had other things to do but returned early, and I'm glad I did because he was early, too. Maybe specifying a range is safer. They did a great job, and I will hire them again.

I was disappointed by Quick Key Locksmith. While not every aspect of the experience was bad, I would look elsewhere for an honest, respectful, and polite organization. It began when I called and spoke to the manager/owner Gal (?). He assured me that the parts I needed were in stock. Turns out they weren't. This was frustrating because it interfered with the schedule of other contractors working at our home. The technician showed me a book from which to order the parts. We spent an hour looking and decided. Then 30 minutes later he said that none of the parts he helped us choose would work for our doors. Ugh. Wasted time and energy. Also shows a lack of expertise. Finally they began working installing knobs and electric strikes easily enough. When he began to install the flush mount bolts his drill cut the wire to my electric strike. He then decided he could/would not install flush mount bolts, but surface mount instead -- which (you guessed it) had to be ordered and delayed us another week. They also had to send a different technician (Mike - who did an amazing job) to replace the wire. But now I also had to have my door repaired from the damage that he did when failing to install the flush mount bolts. In the end, the work is not great, but OK. The technicians were polite and punctual. Gal was generally not helpful, and when I complained about the delays and poor work he started yelling and blaming me saying I was a difficult customer. The one thing they are good at is getting paid. There were no delays in trying to get the money out of my pocket. They were also overpriced compared to other locksmiths, but I chose them because they supposedly had the parts in stock, which they didn't. So I ended up paying more.

On Sept. 3rd, guy(Frank) came out, assessed the situation, then went to Home Depot to purchase the lock to match after taking a few pictures. He called a few hours later and said Home Depot didn't have the lock. Said he'd have his office order, will likely take a week and he'll call me to come out to install. That was 3 weeks ago. Never heard back. Called Frank and asked him if the part had come in and he said he no longer is with that company. Then called the company. They did some research and said parts were never ordered and we'd have to begin the process all over again and it would likely be 3 weeks before the parts could come in from Canada. What started as a simple job has now turned into a 6 - 8 week mess. I could manufacture the door with the appropriate locks in that amount of time. I would not suggest working with this group.

Sky went above and beyond, and I really appreciated it. In addition to re-keying eight locks, he recommended changing out a door knob since it was rusted and fixing it would only work in the short term. He also noticed that several doors were difficult to lock and unlock, which created a safety issue. To address it, he ground out the lock holes so the locks lined up better with the holes in the door frame. He was great, and I highly recommend both him and ET Locksmith & Security.

I didn’t like the first knob because it locked automatically from garage to house. He found an adjustment for that. So that I would not lock myself out. The service was polite and completed the job,he cleaned up when he completed his work.

Extremely well. They were very informative, advising me that the doors required special materials due to their thickness. I ordered the materials and they promptly returned to complete the work.

The repair man arrived on time and fixed the problem quickly. However I was charged a service fee as well as a $60 repair fee for 5 minutes of work, when all he did was tighten some screws. I called the company and they would not budge on pricing. I would not recommend using the Company as their pricing is arbitrary to the amount of work involved.

Chris was great. He arrived during the scheduled visit window, answered all questions and adjusted our front door lock so the lock closed better than before. The staff on the phone that I dealt with when setting up the visit was also very professional and helpful. I will use ET again for future needs!

I had no idea how much something like this would cost. I contacted ET Locksmith via email. They got back to me within the hour, answered my questions and were able to come out the next day to replace the lock and provide me with two keys. The whole process was very easy.

I waited FAR TOO LONG to post this review. My husband and I bought a new home in May, 2016 and used ET Locksmith to have all the locks changed the day we closed. The service was EXCELLENT! The technician came out right away, chanced all the locks, keyed them to each other and did a fabulous job. I will use these folks again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend them!

Locksmith found that the interior of the existing lock was rusted. Could be cleaned by he could not guarantee how long it would last. I chose to have the locksmith replace the lock. He keyed the lock to match the other exterior door locks on my house. Used Angie's List coupon
Description of Work: Exterior door with both a deadbolt lock and a pushbutton doorknob lock. The doorknob lock worked only with the key; the twist button on the interior part of the lock could not be turned by hand. Wanted lock repaired.

ET Locksmith sent Harley to fix the problem. Harley was on time, very friendly, very courteous, very knowledgeable, and very efficient. He came up with solutions I never thought of. He quickly assessed the situation and fixed the problem in a short period of time. I usually don't like having strangers in my house but Harley made it feel like he was a friend coming over to help me. I will hire ET Locksmith the next time I have a need for the service.

will keep posted once work is done....
Description of Work: I will update this review once work is done. So far, the company seemed responsive and reliable. I got the 12% discount. I thought it was lame that they passed off the 2.5% credit card charge since not many people I know walk around with more than $200 cash in Chicago and/or their checkbooks these days. I was told to provide the thickness of my door to avoid the locksmith having to get a different lock- thought that was a nice touch. You schedule a 2 hour window for appointment start times but they say they'll call you when they're on the way so if you aren't far you don't have to wait there. My home is in university village and I was happy to see that they'd come this far south since they have the best reviews by far!
