Our Customers Say It Best

The Flying Locksmith did a great job of diagnosing and fixing a problematic door timer. Quickly and for a good price.
Claritas Property M.
Nick was very helpful and professional on getting things done at our location. It was a hassle free experience, looking forward to using your services in the near future. Thank you 🙂
Sandra V.
Great communication and the tech they sent out was very friendly and thorough.
Daniel J.
II had problems finding anyone that wanted to work on the locks of some very fancy doors with proprietary 3 point locks. Flying Locksmiths stepped, immediately saw the problem and fixed both doors in under 30 minutes. Will be my first call for all door lock problems.
Don R.
I needed to re-key a couple of buildings that I manage. One building is over 100 years old with a variety of different knobs and locks. Their locksmith was friendly and professional. He had no problem making all the necessary adjustments to both the new/old locks and the weather worn doors and frames.Now all tenants are down to one key for every necessary entry. And best of all I now need to keep only one key to access two buildings and over 15 different doors.
Christy T
Sam and his crew were amazing. They did an excellent job on our door locks and window film!
Kathy C.
Chris drove an hour to Wisconsin dells to get me out of a pinch after hours. When he got here I filled out a form and it took him all of 5 mins to get my car unlocked. His prices were fair, and he was patient and kind with me! Would definitely recommend to anyone needing services immediately... in my situation I had somewhere to be and they came promptly for me!
Shannon H.
Justin was a great person. Did a great job communicated? Everything he did was always here on time and took care of everything and answered all my questions A ++++ technician
Daniel S.
Good work at a fair price
John G.
I had the opportunity to work with the TFL team and they went above and beyond to make sure my locking system and keypad was installed and everything was working. I highly recommend, they were extremely professional and timely with everything.
Kattie E.
Needed to get a lock fixed and decided to consolidate all the locks in an apartment to a single key. Justin was great. Kept me updated on all things. Very transparent and great quality work.I went with them because they were the first of the 4 companies to reply (only one other did reply) and told me upfront what the price would be. It was more in the end because they were able to match the new locks to the old key but he was clear and upfront about what things would coat all the way through the job.I highly recommend the company and Justin.
Bee Z.
Jacob was excellent. He was friendly, professional, communicated with me throughout the process and offered solutions to another lock issue. I will use again!
murphy
Our house needed to change our locks and update one of our locks to a new electronic keypad lock. The Flying Locksmiths had an outstanding reputation, so we called them to help us with our house. They responded immediately, offered a free initial inspection and quote, and sent out a locksmith to change our locks in such an expedient and professional manner. Our locksmith Charles conducted his work with the utmost professionalism and expertise. We would definitely recommend Flying Locksmiths-Chicago again to others!
J. Daniel Y.
Very professional and kind. Thank you!
Tim D.
Excellent service, Sarah and Nick the tech are the best...
Joe B.
I purchased a 2 unit building and needed to change all the locks for each unit, the basement and garage. I also wanted keypad locks for the front doors. This could have cost me a fortune, but the Flying Locksmiths helped me find affordable hardware that met my needs. And they completed all of the installs in a timely fashion.
Quiana W.
On the day of service, first I got an email telling me that the locksmith would be contacting me shortly because he was on his way. Paul, the locksmith called about 30 minutes later, and confirmed he'd be at my place within 15 minutes, and he was. He quickly replaced the lock on my mailbox, then made sure it worked before he left. Great, quick service!
Ronald M.
Priced right, great communication, great service! I changed my lock to a touchpad system and they were on-time, professional, did a great job--will definitely use them in the future!
joan K.
Great service! Walked us through the process and checked in later to make sure we had no issues after the locks were swapped.
Daisy R.
Great experience. Would definitely use them again and recommend them highly.
Warren B.
Great service that provided best solutions for the various conditions. Installation was scheduled promptly, and performed efficiently to a quality end product. I am very happy with the results.
Tom M.
Had a cylinder rekeyed
bob N.
Superb.
Joan C.
Great company. Great people. I called to get one of our door's lock changed, and we didn't have the original keys from the previous owners. They sent me a link to the door knob that I needed to buy and they told me that Amazon had a cheaper than what they could buy it for. So honest! They then came back out once the door knob was ordered and they did not charge me again for the service call. Will definitely use again when the need arises!
N. A.
Sam and his team were very easy to work with. They were able to provide a competitive quote by looking at a couple of photos of the job. The team had solid suggestions and were responsive and professional. Sarah and Justin were on schedule and completed the work and there were no surprises in the final bill. Will use them again in the future!
Steven A.
The Flying Locksmiths are extraordinary. They are professional, knowledgeable, fast, and reliable. I highly recommend!!
Maria C.
The Flying Locksmith is a business I whole heartedly recommend. Timely, friendly, professional and very helpful; I can’t say enough. Many thanks to them!
oq1i L.
Justin was super helpful, got our locks working quickly and explained everything he did + any hardware observations he had that may lead to problems in the future. Really nice guy to boot.
Evan M.
Great company that provided fast, efficient, and professional service. Rick was very friendly and knowledgeable and changed out two of the locks in our apartment within an hour. Our quoted price matched what we paid and we were very satisfied with the service. I would definitely use the Flying Locksmiths again!
Heather A.
I was so impressed by the professionalism shown by Paul and his dedication to fix my lock. My condo is a historical building and the lock parts are hard to find. Paul visited my place twice and he had traveled to several old lock stores as far as Skokie, simply trying to match a set screw. Flying Lock was also very professional and prompt in communicating with me on their schedule, and sent me reminders before their associates showed up. They are simply the best service company that I have ever used in the United States.
Shanshan H.
Helped me replace 19 fire doors. They were knowledgeable, quick and clean. I’m looking into cloud-based cameras with them as well. HIGHLY recommend.
Thomas K.
I locked myself out of my house. I called a few local locksmiths and could get any help. Their people were all out on calls. I was getting desperate. Flying Locksmiths was recommended to me. Their man, Charlie was able to make it to my place before 5 pm so I did not have to pay after hours prices. He was very polite. He did not give up when having a difficult lock. He succeeded and I was very happy with the job well done.
Celia M.
I was locked out of the house and desperately needed to get some important documents from the house and get them Fedexed to Seattle by the 7pm cut -off. I called the Flying Locksmiths and they flew to my rescue! Richard was timely and efficient. He was able to break into 2 locks and replace one of them in the space of an hour. Including the service fee, the cost for this emergency rescue operation was so very reasonable. I was able to retrieve my documents and get to FedEx 15 minutes before they closed! Thank you, Flying Locksmiths! You saved the day! 👌
Elizabeth H.
These locksmiths are up with current trends and provide concentrated quality service. They are personable and seem to really care for their employees. They are solid on both an administrative and professional level.
Daniel John P.
TFL offered great service and great communication. I really appreciated updates on the day of service regarding arrival time. Also, the technician was able to do everything I needed in a prompt manner. Thanks, TFL!
Margaret B.
Thanks for the help Flying Locksmiths!
Esteban V.
Sam was quick and responsive and Sarah was very helpful (and quick with her work) - including accommodating an early morning appointment slot. Would absolutely recommend 10/10!
Paul K.
Quick quotes back. Kind and professional technicians who were able to come out quickly and able to do what was needed for the job and good information for what might be needed in the future. We had them come out shortly after our original appointment to double check a quick stuck lock. No push back, a very quick second appointment, and it all fell under the warranty. We'll be putting them in the top of our vendor list for our condo board
Anastasia S.
Very responsive and reliable service. They are knowledgeable in their field and show care in the service they provide.Thank you Guys!!
Ania W.
I got locked out of my bedroom in my apartment last Saturday, I contacted my landlord/building manager and they informed me that the earliest they would be able to help out was two days after. I called Flying Locksmith and within a couple hours were at my front door. They were able to get me into the room within a couple minutes and gave a quick consult on the other interior doors, helped identify risks, and think about alternative door knobs to prevent future occurrences.I'd highly recommend this group for their professional services. So much better sleeping on my own bed rather than the couch!
Samuel L.
TFL is quick to respond and has excellent customer service. My coffeeshop needed a new lock switched out for building compliance and the need was fulfilled within the week! I highly recommend TFL for any small business owner. I have had zero problems with my new lock and will be happy to give them a call for any locksmith needs in the future.
Helen K.
Was very kind and quick to get my doorknob replaced. Would absolutely recommend!
Sebastian Z.
Great overall experience with the Company with members like David and Kelly. They are super flexible and worked with us to finish the job.
Angela M.
Sam's prompt response to my request for help was most appreciated. Justin, the guy on the ground for us, was wonderful. He listened to my explanation of the issue, then walked me through his expectations and then his actual work. He was prompt and efficient. And he fixed our latch!! We couldn't be happier.
Jeanine R.
Very Happy with the work The flying locksmith team did! We now have keyless and magnetic locks on our doors where I work! They were efficient and timely with their service and went above and beyond for the client! I 100% fully recommend them for any and all locksmith needs.
Joshua C.
These guys really know what they're doing. We recently just finished renovating a church ministry and meeting building, and wanted to install keypads for code entry and consolidate the keys to all of the doors down to 2 so that we didn't have to give several different keys to all of the ministry staff. Seth installed 2 keypads and re-keyed over 10 doors in a couple of hours. Originally the front door slot for the original deadbolt was not in alignment, but the new keypad was installed and perfectly aligned, so locking and unlocking the door became much easier. Everyone is loving the new keypad locks. In addition, about 8 different keys were consolidated to 2, I was really impressed how much the keys were reduced and simplified. Seth was great and pleasant to work with, and his work was very professional and efficient, done faster than I expected. I highly recommend the Flying Locksmiths and we would do business with them again.
Michael M.
Super fast, the right price, worked carefully, and with precision!My brother locked his keys in the car, so we called the Flying Locksmiths to help us. I had a great experience! I got a text from the company letting me know the technician was on the way, and I also got a phone call from Seth. He arrived quickly and timely. Seth was very friendly and prepared. He worked carefully and cautiously not to damage the car and got the car unlocked fast!I would definitely recommend them and I would call them again if I locked my keys in the car!
Catherine C.
My bike lock key broke and the Flying Locksmiths were able to come out the same day I called and help me unlock my bike. Prompt, fast service.
Peter A.
This team is exceptional. I called the owner who referred me to one of the service techs who fielded the requests and needs we had in our building. Our doors were falling apart until Flying Locksmiths got through with them. We were able not only to fix the doors but also match the new hardware to the tone of the finish on the trim and doors. I highly recommend their service!
Matt G
I had an excellent experience with the Flying Locksmiths! They arrived quickly and resolved my issue in no time. The technician was not only efficient but also explained each step of the process, which I really appreciated. To top it off, he offered to check on other security items since there was still time left in my service window. Excellent service, highly recommend!
Regina S.
Justin is great. Efficient, professional and helpful. Thank you!
Ryan
The folks in the office and the locksmith who came out, Jacob, were great, and very helpful. I'm so glad I chose them
Michael L.
I am so relieved that Sam and his team at the Flying Locksmiths have lived up - and past - their fantastic reputation online. Sam and Sarah made sure I got the correct lock for my ten-ton door and configuration and did not stop until the best was installed.He and his team are the extra-mile-with-knowledge-determination-courtesy-and-kindness group. That's what you need to know. Forreal. They are IT. Too bad they don't work everywhere.
