Have done business here since the 80s, extremely competent, knowledgeable, and friendly. Service is done timely at a great price. My experience has been with keys for Gumball Machines, Slot Machines, cabinets and locks installed at three residents. If you want the best look no farther. Don W. read more

Jeff came out to re key our new house and he was nothing but excellent to work with, he had to reschedule with us and he was super upfront about it along with making sure he got in first thing in the morning during his next available time slot. He did his work efficiently and well and even rekeyed our front door for us at no additional cost to thank us for our flexibility with rescheduling. The workmanship was excellent and the cost was very affordable for the work he did. If you have any need for a locksmith in the future I would not look any farther than Brandt Locksmiths. read more

I read about them on Nextdoor app where many recommended have m. A neighbor has lost his ony key and has been quoted $$$ to get a new one. I need to let my own key fob fixed so we shall see if can provide transportation so he doesn't have to pay cab fare. That is what neighbors are for. read more

Ironically, I locked my keys in my car while I was parked right outside the shop. My car was unlocked within a few minutes and then I decided to go ahead and have a copy made of my car key to avoid this event in the future, I received my new key promptly and the price for these services was more than reasonable. I would recommend Brandt to anyone. read more

This shop is amazing! We called/went to 6 other well known locksmiths to get a key made for the electric bike that we lost the keys for. Not only was we able to make a key for it, he did it quickly and it was a great price! If your looking for anything lock smith stop because here is a fix all! read more

Excellent and professional service at a very competitive price. They always stand behind their work at Brandt. I would highly recommend them. I had a key FOB replaced and programmed, costing me far less than a trip to the dealership would have been. read more

They programmed and cut an extra key fob for my son's car that I had bought elsewhere. Great walk-in service. Friendly. It didn't take long to make. Reasonable price. Note: they do not take credit or debit cards, but a bank with an ATM is very close by. read more

I have been working with the Brandt's since the 1990's. First, as a Service Mgr. with Cunningham Automotive Group, and in recent years as a private customer. Craig Brandt has always been a pleasure to work with, and all of the friends and neighbors I have referred over the years have let me know that they will always return to Brandt's for keys and lock repairs. read more

Replaced the battery in my Mazda key here and he did it in about 30 seconds!! Less than $5! I'm a happy camper !! Love this place. His service is great and the key work perfect now!! read more

I ended up shutting my keys in the door, breaking my car key. The broke off the fob..... I took it in to Brandt Locksmiths off 85th and wornall. It was fixed in 5 minutes and only cost $21!!!! I'm so thankful for this place!!!! read more

I came in on 4/10 to get a key cut and programmed for my 2011 Honda Accord. They were able to cut the key but stated they weren't able to program the key, that my vehicle or key had an issue. This wouldn't have been a big deal, but they charged me full price ($40) as if they cut and programmed the key, which they did not. A standard key cut is $10 at this establishment. To make my review worse, I was able to YouTube how to program the key and I was successful. It took me less than 5 minutes. read more

After learning the hard way to never have keys made at a hardware store, my 'go to' locksmith; Chet's referred me here because they didn't have/make the keys I needed. He said, "You'll really like Brandt's." His words were proven to be correct. Brandt's was impressive! A number of people were waiting to be served and the two gentlemen behind the counter were professional and working as fast as humanly possible. I enjoyed the wait. Customers chatted, laughed, and learned a little about each other. It felt like being back in the 1960's when service was always great no matter what business you visited and people were kind, respectful, patient, and friendly with each other. There were interesting articles on the bulletin board. I'd encourage customers to read them. The keys I needed were made correctly and work perfectly making me a very happy customer! Form of payment is cash or check. No credit or debit cards. I hope they keep it that way! Great job by Brandt! Keep up the excellent work! read more

First come first serve, so be patient. Takes cash or check, We come here when we need to replace that lost fob! They have been in business for years and years because of their excellent service. read more

CASH ONLY!!! Good quick reliable. $60 to cut and program three keys. Cash only though!!!

If you are looking for conversation or sparkling personality, go someplace else! If you want keys made OR locks rekeyed OR a key made for you 100 year old mortise lock OR a chip key cut from a replacement you bought on Amazon.... THIS IS THE PLACE! Leave your small talk in the car and don't take up their valuable time - they are busy. They are busy simply because they are the best at what they do and they have promises to keep. Take cash with you! They don't accept credit or debit cards. read more

Great place to get your car keys done and the price is reasonable. They only accept cash or check here. Every thing was done in a timely manner on the same day. Owner knows his keys! It's a small place but they get it done. Would definitely recommend. read more

Very professional and saved my Honda key, by being honest and recutting it and putting it into a new case for only about 25 bucks, just because I had a damaged Honda key. I highly recommend them. Bring cash or a check! read more

Brandt Locksmiths - Very affordable fix, when any other place would have charged me an arm and a leg. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This place is a hidden gem!! He's a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and an excellent resource of information. They only accept cash which is important to know before you go! Left very satisfied and would return if services are needed. Highly recommend!! read more

Dude couldn't / wouldn't just give me a straight answer, reviews say he's very knowledgeable and that's cool. But please don't throw 7 different vocab terms & 3 different prices my way.... and then get surprised that I'm confused. This is YOUR job for a reason. I'm sure he's cool and I've heard okay things about this place... damn dude maybe just slow down and actually give some Customer Service. It is not that hard... just "open your eyes wider". ps. I literally called before and because it was so confusing on the phone I said I would come in.... and that wasn't any better .. something tells me they truly DGAF! read more

This is a locksmith. You can have keys made here. It gets an extra star for being close to Chelly's and Mike's. They keep reasonable hours. They're a long-standing neighborhood business. I've had a few keys made here. Once, one didn't work and they replaced it. This is cash only. This makes sense; credit card processing companies claim a chunk of profits that can make it hard for a small business to turn a profit. This is also the kind of Waldo business where you will have to hear the proprietor gripe about sales tax. Whatever. He makes keys. He has opinions. read more

I have been worried about my front door for 6 months. If I went outside it would "lock" behind me and I could only get back in through another door. I had been looking at new door sets for hundreds of dollars and then thinking I would need to pay hundreds more to have it installed, plus repaint the door. The lockset on my home is original from 1936 and had been "taped off" by the previous owner. I scheduled a service call with Brandt and the gentleman came. He explained how my door latch and lock work and showed me how to use it properly. There was nothing wrong with it. I gladly paid for the service call, he saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars and I was happy to do it. These guys are experts and I will never go or call anyone else for lock or key needs! I appreciate them so much. read more

Used them for over 20 years. Movers broke a key off in a 1950 coke machine. 2 different locksmiths could not make a key, company that broke key was going to call a mobile locksmith but after talking to the guy he wanted to drill out the lock. I showed Brandt a picture of the lock, he cut a key right there. Works perfectly. A true master at his business. Thank you. read more

They were great! Responsive and showed huge value. I had spare keys for two cars programmed and then went back for a desk key backup. Can't wait to go back again. read more

I love a place where the owners & staff know what they are selling. I also love one that will give me all options for decision making. A key, for example, that will cost many times cheaper than another which at a different place was touted as the only option. That is to say: they'll give you the straight dope. Going in there is like going to a "real" hardware store. No frills, but personally, I don't need them when buying a key. Small wonder they garner the favor of other businesses and individuals. read more

Bought a newer used vehicle recently and this was the only place I could find that could cut a second encoded key. -1 star because their hours are terrible, no weekend or evening service at all. Hardly helpful to the average worker. Also be warned they do not take credit or debit cards, and an encoded key will cost you about sixty dollars. I don't walk around with much cash so that was a big hassle. -1 another star because not one of the three men behind the corner even smiled at me or thanked me for the business. I think they've caught on to the fact that they have a market monopoly for specialty keys and decided customer service wasn't necessary. Nevertheless the wait was short, the key was cut and works perfectly, and in the end that matters most. I'd still recommend it to a friend, but they would be warned what to expect. read more

Great service, they were able to program a key fob for a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle for me.

Go to a big box hardware store. Then come here. No where else to go for key and lock related issues. Fair, frankly cheap prices, and honest knowledgeable staff. Cash only, and I'm still giving 5 stars. read more

Each time I have had a situation with locks at home or with my car the professional, personable and experienced staff has always provided helpful and productive information and skill. Thank you for the unique and valuable service you provide. I will never go anywhere else for locksmith service! read more

Yelp has this business as closed. It is not closed I'm here now. With my second vehicle today getting spare keys/fobs programmed. They can get busy but they are the best in the city. Friendly, courteous and reasonably priced. 9-5 M-F. read more

Hole in the wall but they do remote car keys fast and cheap. Now, at the dealer, I could get an espresso and a "free" sandwich and sit for an hour or two and pay $500 for a new keyless fob for my 2010 Camry- or I could come here, no "free" sandwich, bring a fob I bought on the internet for $100 and pay $40 to have it programmed in 5 minutes. Then I could go to Bluestem for dinner with my wife and spend $150 for dinner, plus $90 for wine pairings... ... Profit! read more

Absolutely the best. If someone tells you they can't replace a key, bring it here.

Much cheaper than the dealership, new keys work perfectly and took less than an hour for everything.

Efficient, timely service. I had a custom piece that needed to be extended because of a wide door.

Finally getting around to give a well deserved review for this business. It's been several months ago since my last visit. But, that wasn't my first and it won't be last. The gentlemen here knows exactly what is needed and how, when it involves those electronic keys/key pods or what they call them. Get it done, you in and out quick. And the prices, way below what I was expecting read more

I highly recommend this locksmith. His work was exceptional. Great customer service and great prices. He could have put my car key off till tomorrow but the man is very hard working and I had my key so quickly. So grateful for them. read more

Definitely the best locksmiths. From keys, to tumbling locks, to general questions. Super helpful.

Experienced locksmith! Warning: he only accepts cash or check, but luckily I happened to have a check with me so it wasn't an issue. I had tried to get a duplicate of my husbands car key made at another locksmith (2006 Mitsubishi galant), and they had taken an hour and ruined five of their key shells to not be able to make a key. They had recommended that I come to Brandt. "He can do it for sure." My husband had also brought another replacement key shell to another locksmith before this, so this would be our THIRD attempt to make a new key. The locksmith on duty took about 5 minutes to explain my options and program a new key. Success! So happy to have a replacement key for his car as the other one was in two pieces and only working intermittently. Do yourself a favor and come here first! Only 50$ for a valet chip key! read more

A word about a few of the other reviews for this place. This place is old school and very honest about what they do. They will come to your house when you're locked out, but they will suggest you use another service if they are very busy and it will be a long time. They're very upfront about telling you this. I locked myself out several years ago and they encouraged me to use someone else. They were truthful about how long it would take and how much it would cost. Nothing wrong with that at all, it's a business choice. Their hours are 9-5 Monday through Friday. They're not trying to be the on-call emergency locksmith available 24/7. They are the neighborhood locksmith you go to when you need keys made because their prices are great and you'll be in and out in a hurry. They are cash only. So if you have a big job, take cash with you and stop crying about it. It's a small business and that's a reasonable business choice. I went in not too long ago and waited a few minutes while the locksmith was talking on a telephone headset to a customer. Yes, he did not immediately acknowledge me but he walked up toward the front counter so I knew that he knew I was waiting, and I would be his next focus of attention. When it was my turn I told him I had a very simple job, just to replace a screw in my smart key for my car. Not looking for any favors, I did tell him I had brought in my key a couple of years ago for the same screw replacement to his place. He fixed my key, no charge. Wasn't expecting that at all, would have been happy walking out paying five or ten dollars easily. These guys get the job done with no BS. Thanks!! I'll be back!! read more
