Kevin was able to help us out on a Sunday when we were in a jam. Was a great communicator and was on time and quickly got us back in the house on a hot day. Life saver! Would recommend Raleigh Locksmith to anyone who needs this service!

Ed changed the locks on our new home and was fantastic to work with. He was very friendly and scheduling time for him to come out was super easy. He showed up a few minutes early (we love to see it) and was really helpful in explaining how we could rekey the locks for the least amount of money because we had 5 total locks that we wanted to match. He worked very efficiently and was in and out in about 30 minutes. The total cost was $175. We plan to add another door at some point and I'll definitely call him to come back out and match the locks! Thanks Ed!

Thank you for coming bright and early in the morning. I called 6 other locksmiths and no response. As soon as I talked to Raleigh locksmith service they responded and was at my residence promptly.

I called this morning to set up an appointment and Kevin luckily had a cancellation so he was at our house in about 30 minutes. He was incredibly nice, professional, and FAST. Also, I thought the cost was very reasonable considering how fast he came out and did the work. Highly recommend.

Kevin was responsive, thorough and knocked out a handful of locks like a pit crew. Sounded like one too. These guys are honest, fast and reliable. Bonus: I'm new to town and got a couple BBQ recommendations too! Thank you. Use these gentlemen! Easy decision.

Good service. Not sure how price competitive they are since I had an emergency and they were the only available option but competent locksmith. They were the second one I called since the first guy couldn't open the door. I recommend these guys

Couldn't have been happier with our entire experience. Kevin was extremely responsive, came out the same day and fixed the issue rather than replacing which saved us money, and was incredibly nice to work with. Wouldn't hesitate to contact again and definitely recommend!

Absolutely perfect interaction with this service. I called and asked them to come out and re-key our new house. The appointment was set for the following day. I met them out there. The whole service took about an hour and it was reasonably priced. Highly recommend and I would use them again!

I called to have two padlocks removed and to inquired about new door locks. It took Kevin seconds to remove the padlocks and he also serviced both my exterior door locks for me. He explained about different locks I could choose from but he did nothing try to sell me on or convince me to buy new. I cannot say enough good things about Kevin; he was pleasant and extremely professional.

My locks work like new now and I am so pleased. I also do not think I could have found a more reasonable price to pay for this. Kevin knows his job well and he gave expert advice on locks as well as a referral for some other things I am wanting done. It's such a joy to meet someone who cares about their work. I will definitely call him when I decide on new locks and I will try his referral soon too. You cannot go wrong by calling if you have lock issues. BJH

When we locked ourselves out of our new home very late at night they arrived very quickly to help us. They also rekeyed our locks and fixed our coded keypads to be more efficient. Very polite, helpful and professional. Great service! Highly recommend!

If you are a contracted locksmith for a college apartment building, safety and professionalism should be a priority. Instead, you enter people's homes unannounced and violate their spaces and refuse to leave!

This week I was given notice that my apartment was changing all the locks. No big deal. However, yesterday I was lying in bed, undressed, when someone stuck a key in my lock and opened my door, he didn't knock. I panicked. Flustered, I ran to shut my bedroom door and asked him to come back in a little bit. He had a whole building to take care of so.

I assumed I could have 15 minutes to gather myself as my nerves were completely shattered from having someone literally walk into my home unannounced. Not 3 minutes later *he walked in again.* Again he didn't knock. At this point, I realized I should be furious. I had been so scared and absolutely shaking from the initial situation I couldn't.

My girlfriend locked herself out of her car on the side of the road. We called Raleigh Locksmith and they arrived literally within 10 minutes of the call and were able to open the door. The service was incredibly quick, and they were super professional and kind. The price was great, as well. 10/10 recommended.

Came out and got my VW open without any issues at 12 AM.if that doesn't say something I don't know what will. The man was prompt, attentive, and made sure everything worked out in the end. By far best experience I've had with a locksmith. Great price too!

We were able to have the locks on the house we purchased changed out the day we closed. Kevin was on time, professional, and personable. We could not have had a better experience in either way. Raleigh Locksmith Service will be the only locksmith we ever use.

My 400th review is for a locksmith, and I couldn't be happier! I accidentally gave my housesitter the wrong key when I recently went out of town, and I couldn't let my cat starve. I called Raleigh Locksmith Service, and Kevin was amazing! He arrived as quickly as he could and made a key from the picture I sent him. I had no idea that could be done!

He gave it to the sitter, and all was well. We did the entire transaction when I was over 300 miles from Apex, and Kevin was calm, pleasant and helpful the entire time. I felt like the price was reasonable for what he did. I hope I never need a locksmith again, but Kevin is definitely the one to call if I do.

These guys were great! I put in a detailed quote request to re-key the home my husband and I just purchased, which included installing new smart lock hardware on our front door. I spoke with Ed and we had an appointment lined up for the next day at 9am. Our technician was very helpful in answering our questions and even gave us info on how to go about using the lifetime warranty on the other door hardware that was already installed on the house that are starting to show wear. 100% would recommend Raleigh Locksmith Service to anyone needing fast, quality work at a VERY great price!

Kevin arrived on time for the scheduled appointment. He was professional, friendly and personable. I had just purchased my new house and needed all the exterior doors rekeyed. I also needed two deadbolts replaced. He completed all the work efficiently. He was also able to offer helpful suggestions to resolve a dilemma I had with an additional door lock.

During the work he pointed out some great features of my house that I wasn't even aware of yet! I always like to support the small business owner and this excellent service is a great example of why. Highly recommend to anyone needing locksmith services!

My husband lost his keys and we needed to rekey all of the locks in our house. We were lucky to get an available slot right away. They were in/out in less than 30 minutes and were very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a locksmith.

Just moved to the Triangle area and wanted to be extra secure and re-key all of our house locks and add an additional one to the crawl space door. Gave Ed a call around 11am and he could be at the house as early as 1130! What amazing service. We had him come over around 4pm and he was super efficient and re-keyed all of our locks and keyed a master lock for our crawl space. He also gave us 4 copies of the keys. I would highly recommend Raleigh Locksmith Services for both speed and quality!

We had an urgent issue with our front door Baldwin lock, which was 50+ years. Kevin was here at 6:45 pm and did a fantastic job. While he was here, he took a call to head to the other side of town after he finished with us. What great service and dedication! As a Raleigh realtor, he has become a preferred provider for my clients!
