If you need anything with keys or locks to be fixed, look no further! After having gone to TWO…read moredifferent ace hardwares to make copies of a house key (unsuccessfully!! They didn't work and I spent HOURS driving back and forth to have them try again, and ultimately to return them), Mark made copies of the key quickly and they worked! and when we needed some springs in our lock fixed, Mark was responsive! He told me he would arrive in about an hour, and about ten minutes out gave me a courtesy call to let me know he was close by. He not only fixed the lock, he also tightened up the screws and the screen door (that would slam shut previously). Mark was courteous, kind, professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole experience. Definitely going with Mark again anytime we have any key/lock needs! Thank you!

After spending more than half an hour working to rectify the situation he wouldn't accept money. He was extremely polite and professional. I would highly recommend Windy City Lock and Safe for any and all services.

This is an old school business. It looks like nothing has changed but the product in the past 30…read moreyears. But the people are very knowledgable, and they have their safes on hand so you don't just have to visualize what they will be (some things aren't meant to be online shopped). You can poke, kick, try to lift and play with the safes. You can see how much room you will have and actually need. Their prices are probably not the cheapest, but again, you get to see and feel what you are getting. And if you want they will even deliver and install them for you (at an added cost of course). If I finally do decide to get a safe, i'll most likely buy it here.

We had an antique safe (1920's) without a combination. Most regular locksmiths would just drill &…read morescope to open it, which was not our preference. Sure, we would have done it if necessary, but was that really the only option? Luckily, I found Fink Safe & Lock. They are true safe experts. We were guessing at combinations for over a week and were no closer to getting it opened. One of Fink's experts, John, came by and made it look like child's play. With only manipulation, he was able to open it in about 30 minutes. Fink Safe & Lock is awesome. They are professional, true experts, and have clear passion. They are #1 in my book.

Because my project involved a custom door replacement that required condo association approval, custom ordering, painting, lock placement, and installation, there were several phases involved. Throughout it all, the team remained professional, responsive, organized, and attentive to detail. Walter, the locksmith technician who handled the project from beginning to end, did an outstanding job. 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. Everyone was courteous, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. Overall, I highly recommend Chicago Locksmith for their professionalism, quality work, and outstanding service.
