What Chicago & the Chicago area Customers Say
I always get the best customer service at this location. This is my emergency go to for keys. Ask for Omar, he stayed after closing to make me a set of keys which was above and beyond! Thanks guys I appreciate the work and keys that work first time!
Needed 15 keys cut today (5 sets of 3) and had a great experience at Chicago Locksmiths on Lawrence. Service was fast, organized, and reasonably priced. Everything was done quickly and all the keys worked perfectly. Hard to find places anymore that are both efficient and fairly priced, but these guys delivered. Would definitely use them again.
First time customer and I will definitely be back. I needed a few keys to be made with urgency and decided to try my luck as a walk in. They immediately helped me and gave me a very fair price. I was out the door in less than 5 minutes. Great service!! Thank you!
I would highly recommend getting your keys done here. I needed an extra spare key completed and as soon as I walked in, Omar was such a big help. He was friendly, efficient, and made the process very easy. The keys are also affordable (I paid ~$4 for my key) and done with 5 minutes. If I ever need keys done again, I will definitely visit Chicago Locksmith in Ravenswood and ask for Omar.
