"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."

"I had used this company a year ago to change my locks and had no hesitation in using them again when I unfortunately had to change them a second time. The locksmith was prompt, polite, and worked quickly to complete the job. I was again very pleased with the services.

"June 2020. A Windy City knight-in-shining-armor story. My mom is on home hospice and it's emotionally ravaging. I took a walk to clear my head and lost my keys-locking me out/mom and dog in. Building manager called a vendor locksmith who got me in by picking lock after nearly two hours of panic time. He left. Once inside, I used my spare to lock the deadbolt but then the bolt broke and I was now locked inside. I called four 24/hour locksmiths-tried to go local as I'm in Western suburbs. Two never responded. One locksmith barely spoke English, wanted more than $200 and was more than an hour away. Then I got Adam. He helped me dismantle the complicated, vintage Schlage deadbolt lock so I could get out - spent a half hour on the phone with me. Then Dan showed up (wearing a mask, thank you) to replace pins and repair the lock during a medical emergency with my mom. He quickly finished and gave me two replacement keys. I was borderline hysterical during all of this and they were extremely knowledgable, patient, responsive, fairly-priced and sensitive to the issues I was facing. They have my business forever."

"Despite having some technical difficulties in the beginning the job was completed with the utmost professionalism. I did have to place a call to have the Master Locksmith return to fix and complete the job. The original locksmith made some minor errors that were promptly corrected. Apparently he tried to rekey locks that needed to be replaced. The company bought the new hardware and did not charge me for it. I will definitely call them when it is time to convert my doors to FOB entry. Good service, good technicians, and a good company."

"Locked my keys in my car in a parking lot and had no idea what to do. Called these guys and they showed up in under 30 minutes. Got me back in my car fast, no damage, and the price was totally fair. Will absolutely call them again if I ever need a locksmith."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there’s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it’s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.

A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key.
