Gary is great. I've dealt with my fair share of locksmiths over the years having management…read moremultiple rental properties. In this instance I needed deadbolts swapped out and upgraded from the old school manual to newer digital version. The newer version had a larger deadbolt Than the one currently installed on my doors, this the hole had to be re-drilled larger. I was not comfortable doing that. Gary had straight forward pricing and was very easy to schedule. Other places tend to have hidden fees and end up charging you more than originally quoted- so their prices seem cheaper upfront to get your business but ends up being more expensive. After Gary updated two deadbolts to the digital versions the price came out exactly as quoted. He also rekeyed everything on the same key in the event the key is ever needed. The price came out exactly as quoted. Beyond price he is just a super nice guy and clearly an expert in his field. Highly recommend Gary for any of your lock or security needs.

I had a quote by the next day and the installation process started a few days later. Jose listened to all our concerns and made us feel super comfortable with the process. On installation day he and his coworker were here from 9am-6pm, they worked really hard with wiring and setting up 5 cameras for us. Once done he went over everything with us, moved camera angles as needed and explained how everything worked. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for camera installation, Jose is a true professional and a really nice guy!

I had an excellent experience with Chicago Locksmith and was extremely pleased with the entire…read moreprocess and final results. 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.

I reached out and Don came by the next morning, and gave me a quick and simple quote that blew the other guys out of the water. He was quick and professional, and fully delivered with terrific quality cameras. We have had two small issues since then (not to do with the quality of work, just minor snafus) and Don responded to me right away and helped me fix the problem. These guys will be my first call the next time I need anything like this.

I filled out a form online to get an estimate. I received an automatically generated email that…read moresaid someone would get back to us soon. Three days later I called the office to follow up, still, no one ever called back to schedule an estimate. A week later I called again. I asked the receptionist if they were still in business and trying to get new customers, to which she naturally replied "yes, of course, I will have the sales manager contact you". Two days later I finally received a call from the sales manager, who asked me if I was an existing customer, or if I would be a new customer. I said I would be a new customer. He told me they aren't accepting any new customers at this time. 1. What do they need a sales manager for if they aren't accepting new customers. 2. Someone should tell the receptionist that they aren't accepting new customers, so she doesn't misinform people who call looking for estimates. Don't bother calling this company. It takes 12 days to find out they aren't looking for new business.

This review is also about their tech support which we had to call for a lot in the past year: first to upgrade our system as we put it in 18 years ago; and then because we remodeled our basement so they had to come out a few times to deal with construction dust setting things off, moving motion detectors when walls were moved, adding new window contacts etc. Two of their service techs specifically are amazing: Gus and Mara. I feel extremely lucky when they send either of them out. Especially Mara. She stands out as being the most competent service tech - of *any company* I have ever dealt with. She assesses the situation, makes recommendations for better solutions, advocates for the customer if needed, and then executes the solution flawlessly, efficiently, quickly. Again shout out to Gus who is A+ but I have to give Mara an A++!
