Speedy, friendly, good communicators and helped me address another issue. Highly recommend!

They really are "fast"! Austin really went the extra mile beyond just the rekeying of our exterior doors and fixed a protruding sensor interfering with door alignment, adjusted the hinges, and fixed other failures made by the builder's door installer. read more

Exceptional service on a frosty NOVA night! Here's my situation, I purchased a used car with only one key FOB. Had to obtain a spare and I won't even tell you how much the dealership wanted ($115 for the FOB and an additional $135 to program the thing). So, what's a Yelper to do? I leveraged the local project message capability within Yelp and asked 5 local locksmith to quote me in the hopes they would meet or beat the dealership pricing. Fast Locksmith not only was the most responsive, they (Ronnie) also was recommended by other locksmith as the local Alexandria professional for just this type of job. Easy to coordinate his technician, Tony, to make a house-call tonight. Their fee was $95 for programming and we elected to have him cut the emergency key on the spot for an additional $35. I'm marginal at math, but let's do some simple addition; $130 out the door for a fully functional FOB (with freshly key cut) is better than $245 the dealership wanted. Tony remained on site to answer my questions, ensured I tested both the FOB and key(s) to my satisfaction, and made quick work of an easy credit card payment. I'm very satisfied to not only give this lock shop my business, but they've earned my recommendation. Many thanks Ronnie / Tony! read more

Great services. Friendly. Installed a front door lock that another company said they couldn't do 24 hours earlier. Expert and timely

Very timely to respond, good rate, conscientious, went above and beyond to answer my questions about other weird things with our Lock. Fully recommend! read more

Austin was super responsive and explained what he was doing each step of the way. He even arrived early. Very impressive!

Horrible customer service!!! The locksmith is over an hour late! I called their office multiple times left a voicemail and no one ever got back to me. I definitely don't recommend these folks! read more

Very helpful, produced a spare car key quickly at a reasonable price. They know what they are doing and are a pleasure to work with.

The locksmith arrived on time and was super helpful in installing a Ring video doorbell and re-keying a couple of locks. Thank you Thomas! Price was exactly as quoted and the company was easy to book with via Yelp! Highly recommend. read more

Austin was very friendly, diligent and got the job done quickly and was right on time. I would definitely work with fast locksmith again.

We had Itamar over this afternoon and received amazing service. We previously hired another company who caused several problems with our Schlage keypad lock and other doorkknobs in our home. Itamar was incredibly professional, recognized the errors made in our last service immediately, and was able to correct the issues and rekey our home all in just under an hour. We are incredibly satisfied with this service. read more

I lost my key somewhere outside, but was able to get home with a key I left with a neighbor. Thought it best to rekey, and Austin was at my condo within 2 hours. He tried very hard to rekey my 40+ year old bottom lock, but finally had to put in a new knob. He worked quietly and quickly and I was totally satisfied. Highly recommend this company! read more

I just locked myself out of my car. After trying for an hour to get in I finally called this company based on reviews and am so glad I did. I wish I would have called sooner. Itamar arrived within 30 minutes (even though it was an after hours call) and got me in my car and on the road in under 10 minutes! read more

Thomas came out to rekey some locks and was communicative, diligent, responsible, reliable and a pleasure to work with. We would use him again in a minute. A+++++ guy. read more

Fast Locksmith got out to the house quickly. Technician Kyle was thorough, professional and took care to wear his mask and maintain social distancing. They already have 225 reviews and are 5 stars, but I have to give good reviews when they are due. read more

My spouse and I went out of town on a Sunday of a holiday weekend and forgot to put out the lockbox for our cat sitter. I found Fast Locksmith on Google and saw they had good reviews so I called. Within an hour they had a locksmith at our house, and he got everything open within just a few minutes for a friend to go in and take care of everything for under $200. The locksmith Moe was friendly, helpful, and professional and kept us updated over the phone. We are so grateful to Moe and also to Lexie, who helped us book everything and was so kind and helpful. We were really in a jam and the folks at Fast Locksmith saved us. Thank y'all so much. read more

Perfect team, reasonable price and excellent service. Thank you for your care, fast responding and services.

Fast, Reliable, Friendly and Fairly Priced. They were the only company that serviced my BMW.

My experience with Locksmith Ron Shevo was professional and very pleasant. I would recommend him to friends and family. Happy New Year

Service was excellent! I called at 8:18 a.m. and they arrived at 9:05 a.m. They were friendly and quick. Prices are very competitive!!! Read reviews before I called. Excellent reviews posted the have been are all true!!! Use them! You will be so glad you did!!! read more

Technician Nate arrived on time and did an amazing job installing the deadbolt onto my door. He's very polite and nice. 100% recommend! read more

Fast Locksmith - Before. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Mclean, Virginia

See all

I should have called these guys first. I tried a different company and after using some loud machine on my file cabinet for 20 minutes they tried to convince me to drill the lock for $100. Insane. These guys sent someone out to my house on the same day. He brought an actual lock picking kit and had the damn file cabinet open in at most 3 minutes. It was amazing and terrifying. Go with these guys. Don't waste your time/money with another company first like I did. read more

Update 3/10/22. I'm embarrassed to admit that after posting my last review, I had to call these guys back to change my locks due to lost keys (long story). I appreciate them even more now! Nate was able to show up with one day notice, showed up during the given window, and didn't give up, even when one of the locks proved particularly challenging. He could have easily left when he found out I mistakenly called the visit a "rekey" (hard to do without a key), or charged me to change the entire lock because it would have been easier for him, but his ethics and his work ethic were strong and he kept at it until he got the job done! I respect and appreciate these guys even more now. Thank you, Nate and Quick Locksmiths, for helping me out of a jam with professionalism and expertise! I will use you again, but hopefully won't need to for a while now! read more

I've had the pleasure of doing business with Ronnie/Fast Locksmith twice in less than a week. His tech Kyle came out on the first visit and did such great work that I requested him for the second visit. On both occasions, Kyle worked very quickly to get the job done. He was professional and well mannered. Most importantly, he cleaned up the work area before leaving. I can appreciate that Ronnie scheduled the appointments both times and provided me with the total cost. He also sent a text once the appointment was scheduled and another one (reminder) on the day of the appointment. Once Kyle was en route to my location, he called to let me know, and provided me with an estimated time of arrival, based on the GPS navigational system. Both times, he arrived shortly before me and was ready to work. Thank you Kyle and Ronnie for being reliable and professional. Much appreciated! read more

I made an appointment and the tech never showed. We didn't receive a call about the missed appointment. I called twice after the missed appointment to ask if they were coming. The first time the phone was disconnected. The second time I was put on hold for 10 minutes before I was hung up on. Really poor customer service experience. Edited to Add: Since posting the review, they called and let me know they had an error in scheduling and offered to come out later in the afternoon. I ended up using another company, but appreciated the call back. read more

Very reliable and cheap! Tony was my service guy and he provided top service to their fair prices. The place to go when you get locked out at + in place new keys! Very recommended guys. read more

I've used them twice with two different techs, Nate and Thomas. They were both so professional and really enjoyed my conversation with Thomas. They worked super fast to change my locks and very reasonably priced! Would use them again and again!! read more

Great experience with Fast Locksmith. Our technician Justin was prompt, friendly, and worked quickly/efficiently. Highly recommend and would book again. The scheduling and estimation process was smooth as well. read more

The individual my appointment was originally scheduled for had recently left the company. I called to check on the status when no one had showed or contacted me during my appointment window. Ronnie answered my call and quickly determined what had occurred and honored my appointment my coming himself. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. He did a great job in a short period of time and for a reasonable price. I would definitely use him again. Thanks so much Ronnie! read more

The service was great. All my locks were re-keyed in a matter of minutes. Staff was professional and accommodating.

Came over to cut and program two remote keys. Tech told me that the chip in one of the keys that i had purchased was a little off but that he replaced the chip and all should be good. When I tried the key at first it took a second to turn on but seemed OK. A week later, this one key stopped working completely (leaving me stranded roadside). Called to ask them to come assist and they said the problem was the key, not the programming, so they were going to charge me $160 to come out again. If the key had something wrong with it, why program it and charge me $120 to do so and then try to charge me again to come do it over? Don't stand behind their work. Had to file dispute with the credit card company. read more

Thomas was great- didn't give up until he was able to remove the key stuck in the ignition. While he could not solve the problem (probably electronics) he was able to remove the key and disconnect battery so that I can at least lock car for the night before taking it to service. Given that all happened late in the evening, and I do not jave locked garage, I truly appreciate his effort to help me secure the car! read more

Provided fast, same day service to install a new smart lock. The technician also made us additional keys without asking. He also ensured we knew how to use the lock, connect it into our smart home system and make of copy of the programming and security codes to ensure we can regain access in the future. read more

Tony just came by after my husband called late yesterday. We lost our only key fob for the Mini Cooper...think the dog stole it! Anyway, the dealer was expensive, difficult (required papers-which we have & a tow). We read the reviews and we weren't disappointed. Tony arrived early, was here about an hour or so, and worked with us on price so we got two fobs (always have a back-up) for the future. Definitely would recommend them and there wasn't another company we found who does car keys. read more

We had a residential job and after calling several businesses for a quote, Fast Locksmith was by far the most reasonable. Getting a quote was very easy and prompt. Communication was excellent throughout. Itamar was our technician, and he did a really great job. He was extremely polite and professional and quick! We'll definitely use this business again! read more

Well, other than a bit of confusion on my part because I thought I called a different company, I'm very pleased. My call was answered promptly and they took time to understand my request. Even though what I wanted wasn't feasible, they gave me options and we settled on a plan and I was given a quote. Nate was the technician and he is a super nice, caring and thorough employee. He was on time, polite and didn't mind me asking lots of questions on how my commercial locking mechanism worked versus a normal residential one. He even showed me something I didn't know I could do to keep the door unlocked if I wanted to. Now I hope I know how to get reach them to recommend to others and when I need them again! read more

absolutely outstanding prof, prompt, courthous, expert service.

Absolutely professional, will work within your budget, tech savvy, easy to contact, easy to get quotes, I am a locksmith aficionado because I've lived many places as military and secondly divorcée. Love them. read more

The services we received were superb! I would definitely use them again and I will refer them to others. Thanks, job well done.

Good communication and reasonable quote but did not show up in the window they provided. Did not contact me to tell me they were running late. After 2 hours of waiting past the window, I contacted them and they said they had to divert to another stop. They were apologetic and offered 30% discount, but I ended up cancelling work and going with another locksmith. read more
