Just walked in with my apartment key to make a copy and the gentleman start questioning me not very kindly and start making excuses not to help me. If your service only for home owners put a sign on your door. Ridiculous.

Disappointed. I like to stick with a company I've had success with in the past but when it comes to locksmiths that advertise 24hrs emergency service, I'm slightly intolerant when that is not the case. I called the number listed on the York website (same website that advertises 24hrs service) and got voicemail. The voicemail says to call the office, which is the number I was calling. The first 24hrs emergency service locksmith that answers my call immediately gets my money. That's what 24hrs emergency service means.

Excellent customer service. They work super fast and their prices are extremely affordable. 10/10 would duplicate again.

I'm a board member of a condo project a few blocks from York. Frankly, I don't know what we would do without them. Manny, Allan, Mickey and crew have always done a bang up job for us. We recently had a gate that had been an issue for well over a year and been worked on by other "handymen". York had it fixed and working perfectly in one service call at a reasonable price. Keep up the good work guys!

Alex installed a brand new call box outside the front of our bldg. Great job. Great guy. And twice he returned for free immediately. Once to lower the dial tone and once to re-program the box with new number for a tenant. Thank you York for having a great technician and great person on your staff. I have also thanked Keystone Property Mgnt for having hired them. Roberto Carneiro / HOA board director
