We called Karl and he came over on the same day. He fixed our door locks and was phenomenal at walking us through at what he was doing and the function of the different pieces. Now, our doors feel a lot more secure. I highly recommend Karl and his business. He is professional, kind, and knows what he is doing.

Karl was so nice and very accommodating. I needed a special key which he didn't have, but he called all other places in the area to try to find it for me. He found a place downtown Chicago and said I could get it there. Not many people now a days will go above and beyond like that! He is so nice and very helpful, I strongly recommend Karlock shop in Vernon Hills.

Responsive, Knowledgeable and Professional locksmith located in Vernon Hills, IL. The owner, Karl, has very reasonable rates. He came quickly within 20 mins, opened my vehicle and gave me a good guy rate. If you are looking for a licensed, reputable local locksmith (not a dispatch operated from a call center in India) you found the real deal. Highly recommend!

Karlock came to my new home to rekey all the locks to one key and was fast, friendly, and an overall great value when I had so many other things to deal with. 2 years later when one of the exterior door handles broke off, I just called him up to arrange a time, picked up a new handle set at Menards, then used his drive up service where he rekeyed the new set to match my current key. Quick and Easy!
