Wow. Just wow. Polite, efficient, and experienced. They handled a difficult, 100 year old door lock for me. They were able fit me in on the same day I called, diagnosed the issue(s), and repaired the piece. I was fully expecting to be told that the lock was too far gone and that we would have replace it (which would difficult in itself since it isn't manufactured anymore and was designed to match the other metal parts on the front door). Instead, it was fixed in a matter of hours.

Stars and reviews never lie. They were professional, punctual, and charged a fair price. Ori was the person that came out to service my car and he was a pleasure. Wonderful experience and highly recommend anyone looking to get a key fob replacement or any service they provide.

Yesterday we were at my brother in law's home on Greenwood. He has had a stroke and hasn't been there for quite sometime and we were there to see what needed to be done. As you can imagine it was an emotional time. Upon trying to enter, we found the lock on the back door wasn't working and we weren't able to enter. Fearing that because we weren't the owners, a locksmith would not help us, we contacted the realtor who was able to provide your company with the necessary documentation.
Your technician, Edgar, was dispatched and arrived quickly. He was able to diagnose the problem, repair the lock and open the door. I'm sure that to you, that is his job description but to us, he was a life saver. We had driven 2 1/2 hours to get there. The purpose of this long email is to commend Edgar for his expertise and kindness. He worked quickly all the while explaining the problem. Once he had repaired the lock, he spent the time to go over the fine points of the locking mechanism. Above and beyond repairing the lock, Edgar's kindness and positive attitude made this difficult day so much better. Thank you.

Lost my key fob for my car recently and didnt have a spare. It was super easy to schedule an appointment and Ori was really helpful in getting me back on the road. Ori was super knowledgeable and efficient- was able to access my car within 30 mins. Thanks for the great service!

My service tech was quick and efficient. He didnt just quote me on the most expensive product. He also gave me the option of low and medium priced solutions. I appreciate honesty.

Lockology was great - everyone who I spoke with really listened to what I needed help with, which I really appreciated. They were timely, professional, and highly helpful. Their rates were reasonable. I would gladly do business with them again.

We'll definitely return to this place the next time we need help. Good, quality stuff - strong hand shakes, eye contact, and even key fobs at lower prices than the other places we called. They're mobile, so you can't go to a shop, but he arrived at our home within 45 minutes of us calling, and he was done with 2 replacement fobs in 20 minutes. (No extra fee for his traveling to us.)

Ori was a great help! I had some electrical issues that were making it difficult to complete the job, but he stuck around extra to try and help me figure out the issue. It took him three tries and over an hour of work, but he didnt stop until my problem was solved. I highly recommend his service!

Lost my keys, the dealer was asking twice as much plus I have to tow my car. Called this lockology locksmith, made appointment for same day. The locksmith technician Griffin kept me up to date where he was and came on time. Griffin was super nice, very knowledgeable and within 10 minutes saved my day. Excellent customer service! I saved money on the work and plus i didn't need to tow the car. Thanks again!
