    This was the first location of Chicago Locksmiths that I stopped at. It's certainly convenient--it's about a block away from my house. That's why I stopped here; I needed to get a new doorknob, and we'd also heard they had safes so thought maybe we'd get a small one for passports, social security cards, and other important documents. When we told him what we were looking for, he said we might want to visit the other location on Milwaukee because it was "more of a showroom". I... don't know what that is about. I'm not sure what they do here besides make keys, I guess? Seems like a pretty large storefront for just that, but then I'm not sure I understand why you'd turn away people who want to purchase merchandise and services if you sell the product. So... maybe call first? Or just go with someone else? At any rate, your mileage may vary. For my part, based upon my experience here with someone who apparently couldn't do anything and the shop they sent us to, I'd drive to Roseland for competent locksmith before I'd visit Chicago Locksmiths again.

    Video-Comm Security Cameras

    I'd been looking for an experienced technician to repair a couple of my security cameras for quite…read moresome time. I hadn't had any luck finding a reputable company asking friends, family, or neighbors, so I decided to google local companies who might be able to help. That's how I found Video-Comm. The reviews looked promising, so I gave them a call. Rafael answered and agreed to come over the same day. I told him the cameras over my garage were out, and he agreed to try and repair them. Rafael told me there'd be a service fee plus the cost of labor. He quoted me a conservative estimate of about $300. Rafael and his colleague Diego arrived on time and ready to work. I left them to work in the rear of the property while I tended to my yard. They worked diligently for about three hours before successfully repairing the cameras. It turns out that the wires needed to be replaced. Rafael and Diego replaced the existing wires with copper wires and rewired them. I'm not sure of all the technical jargon, but that was the gist of it. Rafael and Diego had their own truck that had all the equipment they needed. They were quiet and respectful of the property. They cleaned up after themselves, leaving the space as they first encountered it. The final bill was $308. I found Rafael competent, professional, and affable. I'll definitely be calling him again if necessary. In fact, I asked him to send over a quote for an upgraded set of cameras. Now that I've found someone I trust, I'll definitely get new cameras sometime soon.

    I hired Video-Comm Security to install security cameras on my mixed-use property, and they did an…read moreoutstanding job! I request service and they came out on a Monday afternoon for a free consultation and property inspection, and by Wednesday afternoon--just 48 hours later--they had installed four high-quality cameras, set up a monitor, and provided an easy-to-use app for remote viewing. At a great value as well. The installers were professional, efficient, and meticulous, ensuring everything was set up seamlessly. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I highly recommend Video-Comm Security and will absolutely be using them again in the future!

His workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stood out, and the finished result exceeded my expectations. Chicago Locksmith is lucky to have someone such as Walter that is extremely skilled, professional and pleasant to deal with. I also want to recognize the Chicago Locksmith office staff for their excellent customer service and communication throughout the process.

There were zero good choices but at least ond was NOT a babbling dementia suffering 90 yeat old 3) Shay claims the his primary concern is home and auto safety If that were actually true then with photos in hand he has zero reason to have a $45 fee to take a look I have zero reason to take issue with Shay - especially his quality of work All that I know is that Shay LIED to Yelp in order to gain business and if that works for him, then I do not give a fxck I shall not be used I have Elite and All-Star status that I EARNED with Yelp and followers Every single one of my Yelp reviews are shared with Google I sincerely hope that my review discourages anybody and everybody from hiring Chicago Locksmiths

Last summer, we had a break-in at our condo entrance, and found a need for a Full Length Interlocking Door Guard. (Highly recommended as burglars love to shimmy a screwdriver between your door and lock & open into your place easier than a SPAM can.) Pro Video Security let us select the guard. They gave a great bid to put install. We even chose to do 2 doors, given their great rate. Flash forward to 6 months later we found a small (but significant) installation error on one of the doors. Rather than haggle and hassle, they came right out and fixed it at ZERO extra cost. (As expected.) On top of that: The fix came right on time. We caught this picture of a rather infamous trio (USPS is after them) trying to break in and being foiled by the door guard. SEE PIC.

I wanted to be able to keep a watch on the dogs and also of course on my house in general. I bought the equipment from Provideo and I am all the way in California, so I had a local person install the equipment for me, and Perry took over the remote customer service, which has been far above and beyond what anybody could ever expect from customer service. If anything goes wrong, he is right there ready to help me fix it and get it up and running again. I could probably find someone locally, but there is no way I would ever find such great, friendly, knowledgeable customer service. So wherever you are in the world, these guys are the best! Thank you, Perry!

Normally I would be wary of just committing to a business, but they had the Yelp Guarantee Badge (Yelp guarantees your project up to $2500), good reviews, and I liked that they were quick to respond. They came out, quickly reviewed the locks. The total came to more than I was quoted but I didn't doubt them as nothing in this place is as expected. The job was finished in under an hour, they explained the locks thoroughly, and we were done. I was pleased that the project was completed today. This was the first time using the Yelp Project Tab, so I will be sure to try it again for another project.
