"Matt F. from Chicago Locksmiths came to unlock my door that I locked myself out of. He was fast, efficient and courteous. He observed all COVID-19 safety protocols too. What else could you ask for in a locksmith. The price not outrageous either ($110). I would highly recommend Matt F. from Chicago Locksmiths."

"Handyman solutions
I just signed up the other day with Angie?s List to find a handyman and boy did it work. There was a special deal and he scheduled the day I requested and showed up on time. It was a full day deal and he even ended up working over the time allowed to get the job done. I was well prepared and had a huge list and he got everything done :) At the end we shook hands and I said thank him, I thought he was going to charge me more for the extra time but nothing, so I gave him a big tip. I will be using him in the future and will be giving his name out. What a great experience:)) Daryl

"Choice responded quickly but the insurance plan does not pay for all doors to be re-keyed unless you have very few locks. The number of locks covered by the insurance is determined by keyholes, not doors! (Read your policy!) You will likely have to shell out some money to have this essential new-home service if you have more than four keyholes. The locksmith they called was EXCELLENT and made all our locks completely functional. We will happily hire the locksmith again (R.L Locksmith LLC). We paid $201.81 (plus another $50 for some door re-alignment not included in the re-keying benefit) and Choice paid $100 for the job."
Start by searching a trusted directory for locksmiths in your area and reading recent customer reviews. Confirm that each candidate holds state-required licenses, maintains active insurance, and is a member of professional groups such as ALOA. Before you schedule, ask for a written estimate, proof of credentials, and references. Finally, verify the company’s physical address (not just a P.O. box) and check that the technician arrives in a marked vehicle and uniform.
Door locks must be replaced immediately when key security is compromised. Replace your locks when moving into a new home, after any burglary or attempted break-in, or when you lose a key that reveals your address. This practice strictly prevents unauthorized access and maintains a secure environment by ensuring that only trusted individuals have access to your home.
Rekeying a lock requires 10 to 15 minutes per unit when performed by a skilled professional. This efficient process resets the lock’s internal pins to work with a new key, rendering all previous keys ineffective. Rekeying offers a fast and secure solution that enhances your home security without disrupting your daily routine.
Security starts before the locksmith turns the first screw. Ask the dispatcher for the technician’s name, company ID, and arrival time, then confirm that information at the door. Once the job is done, request an itemized invoice and test every repaired lock yourself. Keep any old hardware or keys the professional removes and ensure they are either left with you or destroyed, so no surplus keys are left behind.
