So I needed a key cut for my 2004 lexus RX (just the key not the remote): First Try: They guy who does it is out today, come back Monday Second Try: I come back Monday, guy is out again. The old man (owner?) seems mad he's not there, says he's going to "fire him" because he's never there. Third Try: I call, guy is there, I go in with my key, wait because he's working in the back on a lock. Guy comes back, machine needs to be "re-set" it will take 20 minutes. I am leaving for NY that day (Easter) so I have to go. Fourth Try: I go in, everyone is there, they take MY BLANK and working key. Kid turns to me and this is what follows: Kid: "Its $50" Me: "OK" Kid: "Sometimes it does not work" Me: "Are you trying to tell me that if it does not work it will still cost me $50" Kid: "Sometimes the grooves in your key are worn". Me: "My key works just fine, its my blank, are you telling me that if you screw up my key it will still cost me $50?" Voice from the back: "Don't do it!" Me: "This is my fourth time trying to get this done with you guys, don't ever complain about Amazon, they are reliable". I walk out.

They are very, very accommodating. They really know their stuff. They were here very quickly because I told them that it was an emergency. They were here quickly to take care of the trouble. They were here exactly when they were supposed to be. They have excellent social skills, make great eye contact, and are very professional. They are also great listeners and I am very comfortable around them. I like the way that they market themselves. They know their stuff on the button. They are pleasant to work with and are very friendly. They are pleasant, courteous, and pleasurable to have around. They really went the extra mile and are very accommodating. They wanted to help in every way that they could and I would recommend this company to absolutely anyone.
Description of Work: They had to come twice because there was an issue with the deadbolt on the old file that needed to be repaired.

They are a local business, which I prefer. They were fine. Locksmithing is fairly competitive. I told them what I wanted, and they did it for me. They offer several quality lines, and they let me know what the differences were. I was able to get something that was good and not over expensive. They are close and convenient.

Very well. No complaints about their service. They usually send someone the same day, are very prompt, and do a good job. In this most recent case, the locksmith was also very helpful to me in figuring out the best way to accomplish what I wanted to.
Description of Work: Needed a lock on my door from the 1st floor to the basement that could be opened from the door in the basement with our house key. The locksmith showed me that because my doors are old, my original request of a doorknob with a lock would require a plate on both sides of the door. He came up with the solution of a dead bolt and also correctly pointed out to me that my choice of color would not match. He ordered a dead bolt in the right color and came back and installed it.

I recently bought a new house and needed to have it rekeyed. I called City Lock based on a verbal reference from a friend. They were very responsive when I called and were able to set up an appointment the following day. The technician arrived on time and performed high quality work. My only complaint is that he gave me no other options than to completely replace all of the locks. According to the locksmith, the type of deadbolt on my doors (Defiant) was cheap and could not be rekeyed. Although I thought the price was a bit steep, I decided to go ahead and let him do the work so that I wouldn't have to take another day off work to get someone else in. Aside from the price, I was pleased with the overall quality of his workmanship and the locks he installed.
Description of Work: He changed three door latches and three deadbolt locks so that they were all on the same new key.
