I would not recommend using this company. Poor communication, customer service, and dissapointing installation experience. We decided to use this company because we were having a difficult time finding another company who would reframe 3 of our doors inside. It took the company a long time to get our doors because we live in a historic home. The unexpected long timeline didn't bother us as much as the actual installation and payment steps for the doors. Kinglocksmith took 3 days to "complete" our new doors but the finished product looked terrible: smudges/fingerprints/permanent/marker/stickers on areas of the doors, nails sticking out of the floor and nail marks on the doors that were not covered, and areas around the doors where there were gaps from the reframing (we insisted they put molding and paint on to make it look less trashy). The company was aware that they had done a poor job finishing the doors and to their credit, they offered to send someone out to try and fix things. However, by the time they were able to have someone come and fix the doors, I had left the country for a trip. I had kindly requested that the company wait to process the final payment for the doors until I could at least view the finished product. They called my husband 4-5 times one afternoon regarding payment and he needed to remind them to please wait until Wednesday so we could both view the doors and they said yes. But they decided to just charge the card anyway on Monday prior to being able to view the finished product. Our new doors do technically close and fit better, but it wasn't worth the above-mentioned hastle. Update: minutes after I posted this review, I received a call from the owner of the company who demanded to know why I wrote a poor review, cut me off when I tried to speak, and was trying to blame me somehow instead of hearing me out. Again, just another example of poor customer service. read more

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this company. My experience with King Locksmith was disappointing, although everyone I spoke with was polite and courteous. I originally contacted King Locksmith on Thursday, August 6, 2026 and went back and forth trying to get the service scheduled and discuss pricing. I was given a quote and asked if they offered a senior discount, which they did--10%. I agreed to move forward with the job, but unfortunately, they never followed up or showed up that day. On Friday, I called to find out what happened and was told they were extremely busy, backed up and couldn't get to me until Monday. Monday's appointment was scheduled for between 12:00-2:00 PM. That time was pushed back several times. I was first told it would be around 1:30, and later I was contacted and told it would probably be after 4:00 PM because the technician was still in Washington, DC, and was about an hour away from me. At that point, around 3:30 PM, I cancelled the appointment. It had been 5 days that we had tried to secure our property and make it safe thru King Locksmith. Here's where things turned out very well for me. I immediately contacted another locksmith company, and they accepted the service call at 3:30 PM for same day service and arrived within about an hour. King Locksmith had quoted me $220 to install their deadbolt. I also had "my own" lockset that I wanted installed on another door, and I was quoted $360 for "labor alone" to install my second lockset. The other locksmith that I hired, installed their deadbolt on one door AND they installed my lockset on another door. The the entire job came to only $250.00. So essentially, I paid only $30.00 more and I got both jobs completed with the hired locksmith, than what King Locksmith was going to charge me for just the deadbolt alone--. That saved me approximately $330 compared with what I would have paid King Locksmith. I actually believe the repeated delays ended up being a blessing in disguise because they forced me to find another company. I shared all of this with Demitrio when he contacted me on Tuesday to reschedule. I explained that the work had already been completed and that I got everything done for $330.00 less than his fee. I certainly appreciate that everyone I dealt with was polite and courteous. However, the repeated scheduling changes and the significant difference in pricing left me feeling that I truly dodged a bullet. Sometimes things work out exactly the way they're supposed to. read more

For clarity, I want to respond to a few points. My feedback is based on my direct experience during this project. From the beginning, I communicated that this was a time-sensitive issue tied to a Department of Buildings notice and that we needed a straightforward repair. However, there was a disconnect in scope, which led to delays, an incorrect part being ordered, and additional costs beyond the original estimate. I did raise concerns during the process, particularly regarding scope and communication. My intention was always to resolve the issue efficiently, not create conflict. After the job was completed and I provided a rating, I was contacted and asked to remove it. At that time, I was still open to continuing to work together and even mentioned additional projects. However, the focus of that conversation was on removing the review rather than addressing the concerns raised. As a customer, that made me uncomfortable. Payment was completed, and my review reflects the overall experience--not a dispute over payment. I value strong vendor relationships and clear communication, which is why I provided feedback. This response is simply to clarify my experience for accuracy. For additional clarity, I want to address the follow-up communication after my rating. After I submitted my rating, I was contacted and asked to remove it. During that conversation, I was still open to continuing to work together and mentioned additional work. However, the focus remained on removing the review, and I was later informed that the company would not move forward with any future business. As a client, that approach was concerning. In my experience, feedback is typically addressed by resolving the issue or improving communication--not by requesting that a review be removed. My intention has always been to work collaboratively and maintain strong vendor relationships. This response is simply to provide accurate context for my experience. read more

I was referred to this company and selected them after comparing multiple bids for a building issue that required prompt attention due to a Department of Buildings notice. From the beginning, I clearly communicated that we needed a straightforward fix to restore proper door function. However, there was a lack of alignment on the scope of work, which led to delays, installation of an incorrect part, and ultimately additional charges beyond the original estimate. Communication throughout the process was inconsistent, and there was unnecessary back-and-forth instead of clear resolution. As a result, what should have been a simple repair became more complicated and time-consuming than expected. I have over 25 years of experience in property management and regularly work with vendors and ownership groups. My expectation is always clear communication, accurate scoping, and professionalism--especially when dealing with time-sensitive compliance matters. After providing feedback, I was contacted regarding my rating but did not feel my concerns were meaningfully addressed. I would recommend ensuring full clarity on scope, pricing, and expectations before proceeding with this company. read more

I'm a previous customer from July 2024 and Juan was the person who came out and helped. He keeps texting and calling me without any reason, parked outside of my house in his work van, and called me 16 times in a row on 1/14/26. This has been documented in a police report also. Edit: a woman from the business called to ask about this, which is understandable. She was very upset and emotional and I was unable to get her to tell me what she was hoping to accomplish from the call. There were some accusations towards me as well, indicating that I'd done something to deserve the harassment- which is weird all around - so I'm not sure if she thinks customers ask for harassment and want to be called and texted consistently by employees, and if there are some instances in which they deserve it? This experience underlines that there are other businesses to patronize. read more

Misleading. They lie to get your business. My bedroom door took 3 mins to open and their price was $185 not the $45 I was quoted twice by phone. I questioned it on the call and was told it wouldn't be much because no need for parts. Just tell the truth! read more
