"He was timely to respond to make appointment, but we had a failure to communicate about the actual time. I had to request he mask. He did not cover the carpet nor wear shoe covers. There was drilling required so a bit of a mess. I had to touch up door paint from a couple dings and large area of chipped paint. The work was completed and the installation price reasonable, except for the cost to key the locks- $30 each, which I feel is high. Ace is $13 and another locksmith is $23 each."

"The locksmith was terrific. He was very knowledgeable and could give his professional opinion and sound advice, which was welcomed. He was not pushy about his advice, but we accepted it and moved forward with his recommendations. I would recommend him to my family and friends and call him back for my future locksmith needs."

"I purchased the "Service Call and 4 Locks Re-Keyed" special through Angie's List, and received a message from the business owner the same night stating that he would contact me on the next business day to schedule an appointment.  This was indicative of my entire encounter with William C. DeBlase.  This one man business operated better, more efficiently, and more courteously than any large corporation I've come across.  Even though the Angie's List Special was only for re-keying, he was able to fix the inoperable locks.  The entire service call was less than 30 minutes long, and he left 4 copies of the keys he cut.  Highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly, fast, and affordable locksmith.

"The locksmith, Bobby, called to let us know he was running a tiny bit late, which we totally appreciated the heads-up. When he arrived he was so friendly and got right to work. We changed the scope of work to add additional locks & keys and he happily did the work, using his expertise to aid us in making the best choices for our needs. We will absolutely use The Professional Locksmith again and request Bobby too!"

"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."

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Wilmette, IL

The cost to hire a locksmith ranges from $50 to $200 but can cost up to $500. Cost factors vary but may include your location, the urgency of the request (emergencies typically cost more), and the complexity and size of the job. With many homes moving from standard mechanical locks to smart and electronic security and locking systems, locksmiths may charge more for the expertise and equipment needed to do the work required by these systems. 

Yes, many locksmiths can usually program a key fob for your car. The cost for car dealerships to replace lost or stolen key fobs can get expensive. Alternatively, check with a local professional locksmith to review your options and prices. 

Typically, it’s cheaper to rekey your existing locks than to install new ones. The cost to rekey ranges from $80 to $160, while the cost to change locks ranges from $50 to $200, depending on the type of locks. The value of rekeying vs. replacing locks depends on the condition of your locks and whether or not you already want to replace them.

Yes, the cost to hire a reliable, professional locksmith is worth it, especially if you have a larger job like replacing all the locks and doorknobs in your house. If you’re locked out of your home or car, a locksmith has the tools and the knowledge to get you back in without risking damaging your property. You can also hire a locksmith to install or replace a doorknob or lock.
