Description of Work: They fixed a lock that had been installed/fixed several times by Johnson Lock. The lock is working better than it ever has. I will definitely use them again - hopefully I will not have to call on this lock another time!

Description of Work: They re-keyed a lock and made several copies of the new key. The technician was sick that day so there was a change in the scheduled appointment. The owner came after the shop closed to do the work so that we didn't need to totally reschedule the appointment.

GREAT
Description of Work: Even though I spent only $4 at Rite Lock, I saved over $100 because this service provider is willing to cut auto transponder keys. He is the only one I know of in the Chicago area-- and I looked around. Everyone else wants you to buy a transponder (chip electronic key needed for all modern vehicles) from them (for $50-150 dollars) before they will cut a key for you. Dealers want even more. I purchased a genuine electronic key for my vehicle on ebay for $15 and Rite Lock cut it for $4. I programed the key (easy)-- and it now works perfectly-- smooth as glass. ALSO-- this locksmith was the ONLY one to respond to my email inquiry through Angies List about whether he could do this service and at what price Bottom line: If you ever need a key cut for your car but the electronic key online and go to this wonderful little shop on the Evanston/Skokie border to have the key actually cut.

They came out when they said they would. He was fast, the price was reasonable. The lock was stuck and he did a great job. I would recommend them to others.

They arrived the day of our home closing and quickly installed the new locks and provided us with extra keys. The locksmith was very professional. The company was referred to us by our real estate agent, so I really didn't price shop prior to selecting this vendor. Overall, very satisfied.
Description of Work: We used Rite Lock when we bought our new home to change the locks. We wanted a single key to open our two side doors and garage door.

They provided excellent service. He called me and said he had finished another job early and asked if he could come early, which was convenient. He was professional and polite. I asked him about another lock I was considering having switched out to a different kind and instead of trying to get more money out of me he was honest and said the lock I had was actually better.
Description of Work: They came to my home and re-keyed some locks and lubed some keys.

Excellent experience. The person who came to my home was very pleasant and professional. He had to spend a lot of time figuring out how to get into the chest because the lock could not be removed. The key can't be reproduced so he fixed the chest so the lock wouldn't engage again - but without hurting the aesthetics of the piece.
Description of Work: I lost the key for an antique blanket chest and needed a way to open it.

Rite Lock & Safe had replaced our locks when we bought our home 13 years ago. So I was already familiar with them. Recently when our locks showed some wear and tear, I called them again. They came out promptly, within a day of my phone request. The serviceman, Seth, was thorough and courteous. He fixed all the lock problems we had and inquired whether there were any other issues, lock-related that he could help us with.
Description of Work: Replaced locks,o iled locks, re-keyed front and back door locks, troubleshot a stubborn basement door look and made new keys for house locks.
