I kept delaying rekeying my locks after moving into my new place and then walked into my living room from another part of my house one night to find my front door wide open. While it was likely just wind and I am 99% positive I had just not yet bolted the door, I decided to reach out to Vsevolod at 6:30pm in the evening thinking it was a long shot that he could come that night. To my surprise he was there in less than 30 minutes changed all my locks, reset my garage door, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was secure. Even if it was wind that blew open the door it is great peace of mind to be able to sleep knowing in the slim chance it wasn't wind my place is secure. read more

Amazing service! He responded quickly and helpfully, and gave us ETA updates as he was coming to our location. We had a complicated residential lockout that was able to be solved quickly. Our dog who was locked inside also loved the locksmith. Great value, great service, and I'm hanging the business card in our building's lobby just in case it happens to someone else (or more likely, for me again). Thank you! read more

Sam rekeyed one of our apartment's front doors efficiently and quickly, and charged us below what other locksmiths had charged previously. We are very pleased with his level of professionalism and craftsmanship. We will be calling him in the future whenever the need arises. Thanks again! read more

Vsevolod is a true professional, especially when you need him in the most dire situations. When my front office door lock broke on a Sunday at 7pm, Vsevolod was the only locksmith who was willing to come help me immediately. He arrived 15 minutes later, quickly diagnosed the lock problem, and addressed it well. Not only was he very responsive, he thoroughly checked both locks in my office to ensure they were properly working. I highly recommend Vsevolod and am very grateful for all of his hard work. On top of all this, his prices are very reasonable. Finding someone who takes great pride in his work is tough, but I'm thankful I've found Vsevolod....I highly recommend his services! read more

A new deadbolt was needed, as the old lock was sticking making the door impossible to open. Vsevolod (known as Simon) of Friendly Locksmith and Security showed up quickly and explained what was needed to be done. In no time the job was completed. He did a fine job of installing it and made sure the new keys worked. My family members were happy I found him. If you need a friendly locksmith that gets the job done efficiently, I greatly recommend Vsevolod. read more

I needed my locks replaced with a smart lock. The job was done really quickly and neatly and his responses were prompt. Highly recommend.

Responded promptly, performed the work quickly, and did it all for a fair price. Would recommend!

I had an issue with my door lock where the key was spinning 360° and sometimes getting stuck. After trying to fix it myself, I called Friendly Locksmith & Security, and I'm so glad I did. came out promptly, diagnosed the issue right away, and explained everything clearly. The original cylinder was missing screws and not worth salvaging, and I really appreciated that he didn't try to patch it up, he replaced it properly and even rekeyed the new cylinder to match my old key. What stood out most was how transparent and respectful he was. He noticed I was curious and took the time to explain how the lock works, how the cylinder is installed, and what went wrong. It turned into a mini hands-on learning session, and I loved that. If you're looking for someone honest, skilled, and who genuinely enjoys what they do, Friendly Locksmith & Security is the way to go. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again! read more

Very quick to respond and unlock door! They were very easy to work with, and I highly recommend.

TODAY: I can't say enough good things about Friendly Locksmith! After I reached out, Vsevolod responded, arrived quickly and immediately put us at ease. He worked with my budget and did a fantastic job on the lock we needed fixed, but what really impressed me was how friendly and helpful he was throughout the process. He even took the time to tighten up a couple of other doorknobs and locks around the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. It's rare to find someone who combines skill, honesty, and genuine kindness in their work, but that's exactly what you get with Vsevolod. He also definitely loved my dogs and they warmed up to him immediately. I'll definitely be calling him again and recommending him to friends and neighbors. read more

Quick, cheap, and he's a nice guy. He even rekeyed after for me and saved me a future project switching out the handle :)

I was desperate to have someone change the locks on my mom's home. I randomly picked Friendly Locksmith. The BEST decision ever! He answered my questions as best he could even though I was all over the place and couldn't really explain what I wanted. I've never had locks changed, someone else always took care of that. He came to the home on a Saturday night , at 8pm! He is amazing. I highly recommend using his services. Thank you for your help. read more
