Tom's Locksmith Skokie

Tom was great. He arrived early, which in my experience is almost unheard of...especially on a Sunday! He did a great job with the locks and tidied up after himself when he was finished. I feel secure with the locks he installed and will definitely call him in the future with our locksmith needs.

Tom was prompt, courteous, and cleaned up after his installation. He even squeezed me in the same day that I contacted him.

Tom recommended an excellent auto-lock specialist, and PJ's Road Service got me fixed up super-fast, as they were just minutes away when I called. They came right to my garage and unlocked my car in minutes. Tom's recommendation was perfect.

Tom was prompt and very polite. I thought I might need a new deadbolt on one of the doors but Tom said he could fix it rather then replace it. He was reasonably priced and I would definitely use him again.

Tom was excellent. He was on time, quick, and did a fantastic job. In fact one of the door was being installed that day and wasn't quite done when he showed up. Not only did he not charge us for waiting around he even helped out some with the installation of the new door. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a locksmith.

The job was done quickly (the day after calling) and the door now functions the way it's supposed to.

The condo was having a problem with security/access due to recent break-ins. Tom suggested a better lock that comes with keys that cannot be copied without authorization. He made a Saturday appointment. He was on time. He was courteous.

TOM WAS ON TIME (HE SHOWED UP ON VERY SHORT NOTICE!). HE WAS POLITE, COURTEOUS, AND PROFESSIONAL. WE THOUGHT HIS PRICES WERE COMPETITIVE BASED ON OTHER QUOTES WE RECEIVED.

SERVICE WAS SO OUTSTANDING, IT WAS CRAZY! I CALLED ON A WHIM TO SEE IF I COULD GET THE LOCKS CHANGED- IT WASN'T AN EMERGENCY. I CALLED AT 12:25 PM ON A SATURDAY & LITERALLY BY 1:25 (1 HOUR), TOM HAD BEEN HERE, KEYED THE LOCK, FIXED ANOTHER MINOR PROBLEM, & WAS ON HIS WAY. IT MAKES ME WISH THAT ALL THE WORK IN MY HOUSE WAS LOCK-RELATED. TOTALLY REAFFIRMS MY FAITH IN CUSTOMER SERVICE.

HE WAS ON TIME, THOROUGH, PATIENT (I WAS NOT THERE WHEN HE ARRIVED, BUT HE WAITED)AND SEEMED TO DO A GOOD JOB.

THEY DID A FINE JOB WITH THE LOCKS, BUT THE INSTALLER TOLD ME AFTER HE WAS FINISHED (& AFTER I HAD WRITTEN THE CHECK) THAT WE DID NOT HAVE VERY HIGH-QUALITY DEADBOLTS. HE COULD HAVE SOLD ME NEW DEADBOLTS RIGHT THEN & THERE, BUT HE WAS CLEARLY ANXIOUS TO LEAVE. NOW I AM WEIGHING HAVING SOMEONE BACK OUT TO REPLACE THEM, & IN THE MEANTIME I WORRY ABOUT HOW SECURE MY HOUSE REALLY IS.

THE WORK WAS DONE VERY WELL. WE CHANGED OUR MIND AS HE WENT OVER THE OPTIONS AND HE WAS EXTREMELY PATIENT WITH US DURING THE PROCESS. THEY WERE EASY TO WORK WITH AND SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

I LEARNED ABOUT TOM ON ANGIE'S LIST, AND THE HIGH PRAISE EVERYONE HAS GIVEN HIM IS VERY, VERY WELL DESERVED. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME MY WIFE & I HAVE USED TOM'S SERVICES. TRUE TO FORM, HE WAS FANTASTIC. HE WORKED WITH US VIA EMAIL BEFORE OUR SATURDAY MORNING APPOINTMENT, TO MAKE SURE HE KNEW WHICH PRODUCTS WE WANTED & TO ENSURE THAT HE ARRIVED WITH THE PROPERLY SIZED HARDWARE FOR OUR DOORS. HE'S SIMPLY THE BEST LOCKSMITH I'VE ENCOUNTERED & I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT COMPANIES BEFORE INITIALLY HIRING TOM. ONE REASON HE IS SO GREAT TO WORK WITH IS THAT HE IS A ONE-MAN-SHOW. THAT MEANS YOU KNOW THAT THE PERSON YOU'RE TALKING TO ON THE PHONE TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT IS THE SAME ONE WHO WILL SHOW UP AT YOUR PLACE, WHICH ELIMINATES ANY MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN "THE SHOP" & THE PERSON WHO COMES TO YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS. I'VE RECOMMENDED HIM TO MY FRIENDS & COLLEAGUES & THEY'VE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED, TOO.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE USED TOM. HE IS VERY GOOD AND PROMPT AND WORKS EFFICIENTLY.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. QUOTE PROVIDED AHEAD OF TIME WAS REASONABLE AND ACCURATE. TOM WAS FLEXIBLE IN SCHEDULING, ARRIVED ON TIME AND WORKED EFFICIENTLY TO GET THE JOB DONE.

VERY EXPERIENCED MAN, TIMELY, EFFICIENT. VERY FAIR PRICE. DEFINITELY WILL RE-HIRE IF THE TIME COMES.

TOM WAS A PRO. CAME AHEAD OF OUR APPOINTED TIME WHICH WAS APPRECIATED. STAYED FOR WELL OVER AN HOUR UNTIL THE JOB WAS DONE. OLD MORTISE LOCK REQUIRED SOME FINE TUNING, AND MISSING/DAMAGED SCREW REPLACEMENTS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCKSMITH. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

TOM WAS WAITING FOR ME, 15 MINUTES EARLY, WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK - AND WHAT A NICE GUY! HE OPENED UP THE LOCK ON MY SCREEN/STORM DOOR AND THEN FOLLOWED ME TO THE BASEMENT (I HAD ONLY CALLED ABOUT THE DOOR, AND HAD THOUGHT OF THE BASEMENT CABINET AFTERWARDS) AND PROCEEDED TO PICK THE LOCK ON THE DRAWER. THAT LOCK PROVED TO BE SUCH A HARD ONE THAT HE ENDED UP HAVING TO DRILL IT OPEN. HE WAS PLEASANT, VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND GAVE ME SOME ADVICE ABOUT LOCKS.

TOM WAS VERY FAST AND GOOD AT HIS WORK. HE ARRIVED ON TIME, AND REKEYED 4 LOCKS IN ABOUT 40 MINUTES, COMPLETE WITH RE-INSTALLATION AND 2 COPIES OF THE KEYS. I FOUND HIS COMPANY THROUGH ANGIE'S LIST, AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.

TOM WAS ON TIME - EVEN A BIT EARLY - AND DID THE WORK SMOOTHLY. HE EVEN TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND TO DISCUSS SOME QUESTIONS I HAD ABOUT POSSIBLE FUTURE JOBS.

TOM WAS EXCELLENT TO WORK WITH. HE WAS CLEAR ABOUT HIS PRICING POLICY ON THE PHONE, HE ARRIVED ON-TIME, AND APPEARED TO DO HIGH QUALITY WORK AT A REASONABLE PRICE. THERE WERE NO SURPRISES.

TOM WAS GREAT. HE CAME OUT THE DAY AFTER I CALLED HIM, AND ARRIVED EXACTLY ON TIME. HE DID GREAT WORK. WE HAD SEVERAL CONCERNS IN THE BUILDING AND HE ADDRESSED THEM ALL AND EVEN DID SOME WORK FOR US FOR WHICH HE DIDN'T CHARGE (ADJUSTING DOOR SPRINGS, ETC.). HE WAS EFFICIENT AND HIS PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE - MUCH LESS THAN I EXPECTED. I WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE HIM AGAIN, AND COULDN'T RECOMMEND HIM TOO HIGHLY.

TOM WAS FABULOUS. I LOST MY KEYS ON SATURDAY OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND, AND EVEN THOUGH I HAD NEVER USED HIM BEFORE, HE WAS ABLE TO COME OUT THAT EVENING. HE HAD EVERYTHING IN HIS VAN AND SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. I WAS VERY PLEASED AND SURPRISED THAT HE ALSO DID CAR LOCKS. HE SAID ALL HIS WORK WAS GUARANTEED AND IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE KEYS HE WOULD BE BACK. A REALLY NICE GUY.

TOM IS A GEM! FINDING HIM ON ANGIE'S LIST WAS A CONFIRMATION OF ANGIE'S LISTS' VALUE. WE BOUGHT A TWO FLAT AND HAD AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT WHERE A FORMER TENANT DECIDED TO RE-ENTER THE BUILDING AND VANDALIZE THE PLACE. ALTHOUGH TOM WAS VERY BUSY, AT THE END OF A LONG SATURDAY FOR HIM, HE SQUEEZED US IN TO HAVE OUR EXTERIOR LOCKS CHANGED. HE CAME BACK THREE DAYS LATER TO CHANGE THE REST OF THE LOCKS. HE'S STRAIGHTFORWARD AND GETS THE JOB DONE FOR A REASONABLE PRICE. I WILL HIRE HIM EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO GET A LOCK CHANGED. A GEM!

TOM WAS EARLY, CAME ON A SUNDAY (FOR NO EXTRA CHARGE), AND WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND QUICK. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AS TO HOW QUICKLY THE WORK WAS PERFORMED, AND HOW REASONABLE THE PRICE WAS. I WILL DEFINITELY USE HIM FOR ANY LOCKSMITHING NEEDS IN THE FUTURE.
