These guys are fabulous! We haven't used a locksmith locally so relied on Yelp reviews to pick Circle City Lock & Key. The owner Jason and his longtime friend and technician Brett run a great operation! Brett is a really smart guy who immediately grasped what we wanted to do with our 12 different locks from 4 different manufacturers all with separate keys. He arrived exactly on time, had a delightful manner and was quite knowledgeable about different locks and locking mechanisms. He was efficient and left us with the exact product we requested. When one of the locking mechanisms was sticking the next day (something it had done before their service), he promptly returned, repaired the problem and explained how that particular lock worked so I could fix it myself in the future. I highly recommend their service. read more

We didn't have the key to our new mailbox so we needed the entire lock replaced. Circle City Lock & Key was awesome! I told them I wasn't in a huge rush, but they scheduled me in for the very next day after calling them. When they arrived, they were fine with installing the lock that I bought at Lowe's (some places refuse to do that) and they made copies of the mailbox key for us at a very affordable price (right around how much it is to do at Lowe's), which saved us a trip. The guys were really friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this place! read more

JB in Chapel Hill: Tim from circle city helped change all our locks in our home in chapel hill. We had to change our appt because of a delay in closing and they were very flexible. Tim even called to say he was going to be three minutes late which wasn't really necessary (I am ok with a 10 min window). Tim was friendly and very knowledgeable about the locks in our home which was good to know that we have quality materials in our home. Will definitely use circle city again for any of our locksmith needs. read more

Wow. Fast and reliable. Bret was my service locksmith. He was relentless and very patient. He picked my lock and got me out of trouble. I can't say anything but a big "Thank you to Bret and Circle City Lock & Key". I am a very happy customer. I was so happy with their work that I asked them to come out and work on another lock. Tim was the locksmith. He quickly serviced another lock and made my key that opened the front door now opens both front and rear. Very pleased with the service and price! read more

I was so impressed with this company. After locking myself out of my house. I have never used a locksmith so I googled and their name came up. I took my chances because the reviews were good. I am so glad I did. They were friendly, kind and they said they would be able to come in 30 minutes. I was thinking I wouldn't be that lucky but I was. I was thoroughly impressed and they even made me an extra key for a small charge. I would highly recommend them!!!! read more

We had a break-in at the house so I called Circle City to come and replace all our locks. Their schedule was full but given our circumstances they added us on to the end of their day, at 8:00 pm. They showed up on time, were professional and friendly, got all four locks replaced quickly, and inspected the house for security issues--and their bill was very reasonable! I recommend Circle City Lock & Key (a father/son team, by the way) wholeheartedly! read more

I am new to the area and needed to have locks changed out in a new home. I had to rely on the Internet to find a locksmith. I chose this company because every review I read was so positive. Well now I know why every review was positive. They were right on time, courteous, did exactly the job they quoted, and I was very impressed with their friendly but professional manner. I will recommend them to anyone in need of a locksmith. read more

Lifesavers! Came back from out of town to find that I lost a part of my keys, including the ones to my home. I called these guys up and they were at my house in 15 minutes and got me into my home without any problems. Their prices are fair and exactly what they quote you on the phone. I hope this never happens to me again but if it does, I would call this company again! read more

Used this company to rekey our home. Locksmith arrived within two hours of my phone call. Extremely nice, licensed, and (most of all) gave me options for how to proceed based on my budget. Really great experience. Saw my locksmith at the store today and he asked how everything was working for me. I'm 100% satisfied and would absolutely use them again! read more

I called yesterday for a price quote and scheduled an appointment for this afternoon! Brett arrived right on time and replaced my locks and handed me a brand new set of keys in ~15 minutes. He talked me through how he did it along the way so that I could learn and was great to work with. I highly recommend Circle City Lock & Key. Thank you! read more

Very nice guy, Jason was very helpful and professional with a well equiped van. I have no complaints with the locksmith service call for $65, everything including the price was great. He gave me a price up front on the phone and it was exactly what he charged me. Thanks for the assistance. Your phone number is now in my contacts forever. read more

Called to have our lever on door fixed. Jason arrived on day expected and was great! He fixed the lever in no time. he also said that the company that made our handles offers a lifetime guarantee for the finish. I called them and we are getting replacements sent! Thank you Jason!!! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to all! read more

Professional, efficient, and friendly. I was locked out my house at midnight in Chapel Hill and they came within 15 minutes. I wish I didn't lock myself out in the first place, but these guys are a local father and son business and their price was fair. Hopefully I'm not locked out again... but next time I know who to call. read more

Their estimate for arrival was accurate. Their pricing was reasonable. They tried everything they could before drilling out a stripped dead bolt. And like a good business they came with new locks to install if I wanted. Rates were too reasonable to pass up. And they cleaned up when done. I know who to call! read more

First: I never write reviews. These guys are fantastic. They were exactly on time. Excellent workmanship; even fixed a separate issue on the front door lock that I had learned to 'live' with. Explained everything to me. Added plus: Prior military. Will only go with them for any other lock related work. read more

A Circle City locksmith re-keyed all of our door locks on the afternoon that we closed on our new home. The locksmith called ahead to let us know he was on his way. He did a great job: was professional, efficient, polite and friendly. The price was great as well. I highly recommend Circle City! read more

My car locked me out this morning - I called these guys. They came promptly in the time frame they said they would - they were VERY professional, and they opened my car quickly with no damage. It's a very secure car - so I was more than please. Really nice guys. I highly recommend. read more

Fast, courteous, and professional. Called at 8AM, made an appointment for later that afternoon. Showed up on time and my two locks were replaced at a very reasonable price. These are the folks to call when you have lock problems! read more

Circle City Lock and Key was so helpful! I am a first grade teacher and needed some mis-cut keys for one of my students' projects... They graciously donated over 100 keys instead of recycling them! These guys were a life-saver! read more
