Brian Moreira replaced handlesets and locks on the front and back doors of my house. He is professional, easy to communicate with, and did a great job with the installation. Everything works perfectly.

Brian came out to help with garage knob and lock issues. He was very professional and took care of the issue very timely and efficiently. Have used Eastway for larger projects also and was very satisfied then also.

I bought a new keypad lock and wasn't taking chances with installing it so they sent out Brian. He was great, quick, and resolved the issue of my deadbolt not fitting properly.

Just wanted to give some credit to Tracy who was the technician that responded to my service call to Eastway L&K, he was very prompt and friendly in his response and explained thoroughly what I could expect and costs, ETA, etc. Tracy was also upfront that he was on his way to another call that he had before me and let me know what side of town so I had an idea of about how long I'd be sitting with my kids locked out of my house!

He called back when done with the other call only a few minutes later to say he was on his way. Very professional and courteous; prompt in correspondence and honest. Thank you again!

Last night I called from Freedom Park after discovering I had locked my keys in the car. AJ missed my call but ended up calling back! He was quick, personable, funny and professional. While I found my keys outside of my car in the park, my car door was opened without damage AND I would call for Eastway's service again, in a heart beat. Thank you, AJ for making a miserable situation way more palatable!

The team sent out a Locksmith the same day I called. Within an hour the locksmith, who was great, arrived. He was professional, very friendly, rekeyed two locks, and made the extra keys needed. I would use Eastway Lock and Key again. Service:Lock rekeying

They were amazing! I've called around to a few places and Eastway Lock & Key were the friendliest, fastest, most professional, and most affordable option. They were truly a lifesaver and came out to my car right away and the mechanic was extremely helpful. I highly recommend them! Services: Auto locksmith, Re-key lock

I had two locks re-keyed to match an existing key. They got it done in about 10 minutes while I waited, and both locks work great. At about $17 per lock it was definitely worth it as I have zero knowledge on how to do it myself. Quick, quality service from Eastway. Service: Re-key lock

I went to Home Depot to try to get some keys for a church mailbox made. They told me they weren't able to do it. I went to Eastway Lock & Key and they were able to make them. I had 3 copies made and had no problems using any of them. They do have a setup outside for service due to COVID, and it was convenient and quick. Service: Copy building key

I just have to brag about an experience I just had with Daniel at Eastway Lock and Key. I locked my purse, keys and phone in my trunk while loading groceries. Several people were trying to pop my door open with no luck. LIKE THE LOCKSMITH ANGEL THAT HE IS, Daniel walked up out of nowhere offering to help and within minutes, I was in my car and on my way home. Thank you Daniel - you SAVED my day and my groceries!

I contacted Eastway Lock & Key to assist me with rekeying the locks on my grandmother's house, after she had some remodeling. The technician that was sent out was knowledgeable, quick and very courteous. They may not be the cheapest in-town, but when it comes to safety I don't want cheap. I want efficiency and comfort in knowing my family is safe. I highly recommend this company!

Perfectly. Kenny is the best Master Locksmith I've ever encountered--he didn't claim to be a Master, I claim it--and Amanda is the best scheduler. Great company!

Great company for any of your security needs. Everyone I've dealt with including Daniel, Michael, and Jimmy have done excellent work for me. They conduct their business in a very timely and professional manner. Highly recommend Eastway Lock & Key for all of your security needs.

A few days ago, I stopped in to get some copies of a key made (mine may be from the early 1900s and only Eastway can make a copy that works) and while I was there, forgot my debit card. Jack Cromer went out of his way to reach me on social media to let me know it was safe and locked up, and I could come by any time to grab. In a world where it seems hard to find honest, quality people (and service) anymore, Eastway leads the charge on both. They will continue to have a lock (pun intended) on my business as long as they're in business! Worth. Every. Penny.

Helpful, friendly, and reasonably priced. Most importantly though, make keys that work waaaay better than the ones you'll get at the big box hardware stores. Also can make old motorcycle and car keys. I won't go anywhere else.

I checked around and their price was comparable. They were very responsive. They are reliable, do good work, and I would recommend them.

I have a Cannon Safe that had it's dial lock fail. Instead of just planning a standard service call, one of the staff gave me his personal cell number so I could call him back that evening and personally talk me through how to diagnose the problem. After a good hour or so of his help I was able to baby my safe open, thus saving quite a bit on money and time that would have been spent on him coming out to my house and doing the same.

He had even offered to call Cannon to see about getting a free replacement lock for the final repair, something I had been trying to do but could get no response when I tried their help line. Definitely a big help and a giant relief for both my sanity and wallet. :-

Absolutely the best locksmith in Charlotte. I came in with an 05 Scion arc key that needed to be copied to another key I bought. It literally took 5 minutes and I was out the door, not to mention it was only $4! I would recommend this place to anybody.

After speaking with two other locksmiths and feeling like we would not be able to get a complicated lock replaced (front door), Daniel and Andrew at Eastway made things incredibly easy. Great follow through, excellent customer service and painless resolution. Great to work with a professional organization!

Joe was wonderful, helpful, clean, kind & patient. He made sure I was comfortable using the new key in all the locks! I appreciate his service & the assistance of the dispatcher to make sure Joe arrived in time for me to go to work also.

Very fast to come help when I was locked out of my house. The lock itself took a minute due to some loose screws on the door jam. Very friendly locksmith. He even tightened the screws on the door and frame after he opened the door, which I wasn't expecting him to do. Hopefully I won't need to call them again, but would recommend.

When we moved in to our new house, gave them a call to rekey everything. Prompt and courteous. Got the job done well. Two things I did not like so much: 1. They tried to talk us in to replacing our locks with something more expensive - all I needed was them to rekey for us. 2. Our keys have "Do Not Duplicate" stamped on them - not sure if this is going to be a problem is I ever need to get some extra keys made.

They came out pretty quickly and they helped me. It was fine but it wasn't cheap. The guy was very knowledgeable, creative and helpful. He was really knowledgeable about the door and how it worked and didn't work. He was very polite and very personable. He cleaned up after himself. I would recommend them.

We needed to get our new home re-keyed and Eastway came highly recommended. Our home is a 50 year old Modernist home with mid-century commercial locks. Thankfully, Lawrence was familiar with the uniqueness of the locks' design and very deftly removed, cleaned and re-keyed them. We'd just had the entire interior and door repainted. Lawrence was so careful removing the weatherstripping and did such a thorough and thoughtful job. Watching him as he worked, I realized that he was the right guy for the right job. so knowledgeable and conscientious.

He made sure to explain everything he was doing and even showed me how to shoot my locks with lithium grease every six months to keep them in perfect working order. Eastway is lucky to have him and we're lucky he was our key guy.

I have used these guys twice when I needed to have my locks re-keyed. Both times, the service was prompt and professional. There may be cheaper options out there, but I trust their service.

Four places failed to cut my new mailbox key, but these guys knew exactly what the problem was - the postal service is using new blanks - and they had the updated versions on hand. After 2 weeks of searching, they were able to sort me out in 3 minutes. It doesn't get much better than that. But never mind their professional expertise: they were also very pleasant people. I had a little trouble finding the place, but they took pains to give me turn-by-turn directions until I was confident I could find it. Top notch.

Called Eastway at 9:00 AM.Gave information on the phone and told Me that a service person would arrive in 30 min. Which he did. Fixed both both locks in about 35 min. Very professional service. If needed, will use Eastway again.

I recently had to get some keys made, and I went to Eastway for the second time since I've moved into my house. These guys are consummate professionals. I enjoy being around anyone who is the master of a trade.locksmiths, tattoo artists, welders.anyone who is an expert in a field and who gets excited to talk about that field. The guys at Eastway are these kinds of locksmiths. If you have a question about your keys and locks or safes or anything related to these aspects of security, go ask.

They showed up on time. They cost was very reasonable. I was happy with my experience with this company. They were able to answer any questions I had.
