Wow! I used Yelp AI to find a locksmith and it was an amazing experience…read more We needed a deadbolt lock replaced at our home and I had been putting off this task for quite a while. Finally it was time to do something. I was sitting at a car dealership waiting for my car to be serviced and I had Yelp find me a locksmith. Within a just a few minutes I had responses from two locksmiths. Star Locksmiths, Bulent, was reasonably priced and at my home the next morning. The install was quick and he rekeyed the lock to match our existing keys. He even adjusted the handle for the regular lock (below) so the cold air wouldn't come through between the door and the door frame. We were really pleased and will use Star Locksmiths again. Thank you!

This business has been supported by the Brookline community for decades. Now they have decided to…read moregive Brookline residents the middle finger because they don't want to do residential work any longer. Their standard call-out fee is almost $300, and that's before they've done any work, and then they mark up the hardware at an extortionate rate. One of the employees told me that they do this because they don't want to do residential work. Since that is the case, they should just say so up front, instead of pretending to service the Brookline community. This is a crappy way to behave towards the community that has kept the business going for years.

I have used this business 3 times in the last 50 years. their integrity has certainly changed.

The second one came in and we scheduled an installation. They never showed up. I called and no apologies, just too bad for me!. Clearly something has changed in their attitude. I like to support Brookline businesses but there no longer seems to be concern for commitment and doing a job well done.

Found him on ChatGPT this morning because my front door knob did not work and the door did not…read moreclose, ChatGPT explained to me what kind of lock I had and recommended City Locksmith out of Brookline along with Yelp and Google. I called Ray from City Locksmith and expected to wait cause it's Sunday. However, he said he said he would be out in 30 minutes which I doubted it and I'm fact he arrived in 30 mins. He not only fixed it but also saw the paint on the whole side of the door was scraped. Ray the locksmith also found a nail at the side of the door that was blocking the closing of the door. With my permission, Ray also removed the nail and shaved the top of the door. Additionally, he noticed the latch plate on the side of the door that was sticking out and he fixed that by receding and now my door can also be closed with just 1 finger. To say the least, I'm extremely happy with ChatGPT and Ray who came out to West Roxbury and fixed my door to my satisfaction at a reasonable price.

I was desperate to find a locksmith who could liberate my ebike from a pretty hefty U-Lock. I had…read morelost my only key along with some other bike keys on the weekend ...after searching everywhere I had been on my bike on Saturday. No luck. Ray - owner and expert locksmith - made room for me in his busy day this morning and with a powerful angle saw, he went to work on it. It took 4 cuts to free the strong lock and it involved a 20 minute recharge for his battery. While I will have to replace the lock, there really weren't any options. it was an older lock and the paperwork - if I even saved it, had long since disappeared. I highly recommend this operation. It delivers!

He advised me to come back if the keys did not work. One did, the other didn't. I came back to get it fixed, which I didn't mind since I lived on the same block. My second visit, I needed two copies of one key. Neither worked. Very disappointing as I cannot simply go back since I now live neighborhoods away... I want to support local business, however, it is difficult to do so when there are so many errors. When done correctly, this place really is a gem. He copies keys that say duplication prohibited and for 2 keys I only paid $7.50.
