PHS Locksmiths
PHS Locksmiths, a local, family-owned locksmith company is located at 6808 Roosevelt Road in Oak Park, Illinois. Our staff has provided highly skilled and friendly service at homes and businesses since 1982. We have a great selection of Locks, Keys and Safes in our store. We are members of the Berwyn Development Corporation. We are licensed by the State of Illinois and carry workman's compensation and liability insurance.
Services
As we mentioned in a previous article, we recycle the old locks and keys provided by our customers and donate the proceeds to charities. This year, the total was $300! Above are the the real PHS Locksmiths. These are the only Locksmiths you will see at your door when you call us. NO ONE ELSE! We do NOT and never have used subcontractors.
I was impressed with PHS's professionalism and fair price. Another lock company had told us our front door lock was too old to be changed; it needed replacing. PHS arrived the same day I called and had the lock changed and keys made in 20 minutes for less than I expected to pay. I will recommend you to everyone!

I'm familiar with PHS Locksmiths through work. I recently used them to change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. They were great and had exactly what I was looking for.

Can’t say enough great things about my experience with PHS. After I called with a frantic lock out. The women in costumer service had Joe meet me at the unit within 10 min. Joe was calm and collected. He let me know what steps he would take to get in and cost! He was able to get me back into the house without damaging the lock at all!! Great work and very happy I used them! You won’t regret calling!

Technician was knowledgeable. He was very courteous. He repaired my security storm door lock and lubricated it. I have used their service before and would not hesitate to refer them.

Really nice. Were able to come right away. Had to replace broken lock and had everything needed on the truck. He explained everything as he did it, and did some maintenance on my front door, which he noticed was stiff. Reasonable rates and tip was appreciated.

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Familiar with older style locks that most of the houses in the Oak Park / River Forest have. Exceedingly friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!

Bought a new house and reached to have some locks changed and fixed (some were misaligned). Fil was able to fix our garage door which was not locking at all. Company had really good customer service and did good work overall.

Joe was a great help in rekeying my new home! He was fast and efficient and really took the time to explain every step and outline his process. Would definitely recommend PHS to anyone in the area as they were very quick to accommodate my schedule at a great price.

I have been here many times and I do not plan on going to a different shop or hardware store anytime soon. The service at PHS is fantastic and I have never had an issue with any of the locks or keys/key copies which I have had made here. I can't recommend these guys enough!

Fil was just fantastic. He installed two smart locks in my condo. We started with a consult and he was able to tell me that the locks I was looking at would work - my doors have some unique characteristics, which he was able to thoroughly walk me through - and provided a quote the next day. The actual install went smoothly, he showed me the key features about how to use my news locks and some tips to remember about the smart locks specifically. Fil is also very calm and straightforward, which may seem silly to mention, but traits I really appreciated as I've been stressed moving into a new

Everything about PHS Locksmiths was great! I called and provided information on what services I was look for with the receptionist/someone in the store, then spoke directly to Joe, and texted him pictures of the problem/issue needing to be resolved so he had a heads up in what could be the best solution. Joe called me the day of my appointment to let me know there was 1 person ahead of me and to review the services I needed. He then also called me when he was on his way over and arrived promptly within the given appointment time I was originally told. Joe was not only friendly and professional

One of last true locksmiths. They have a showroom of lock and door set options. I needed a mailbox lock set (not just a key) everyone told me it would be around $75, PHS has them for less than $20. They are friendly and professional and didn't make me feel intimidated by asking a bunch of questions.

We have a warped front door and a back door with hinge issues. Joe was great about communicating the challenges that went with adding locks to these doors and explained all the options available to me. He was able to get one door done and the new lock works perfectly (despite the problematic door) and is now super secure. One door will require some handyman repairs. Joe made sure I understood the issues and helped me choose among options. He (and Fil, who phoned and texted with me as needed from the PHS store about hardware choices) made it clear they were keeping my best interests in mind and

This place is awesome.

From the get-go, PHS explained everything to me in an incredibly concise and polite manner. I knew before the locksmith came out exactly what I should expect for pricing.

Joe visited my place and couldn't have been any nicer. He was super efficient and even told me to try the new keys for my satisfaction.

Thanks PHS for making this process painless.

My doors open like silk. Until now, I never realized how much my quality of life was being impacted by sticky locks. How many times have I apologized about my "touchy" lock? How many times have I explained to someone about how it needs to be "finessed"? And how many times, when there was no one to apologize or explain to, have I sighed and struggled, or how many more times, not even that... just silently accepted that this was my lot in life.
Of course my life was impacted by this! I did this every day of my adult life! I accepted this subtle but constant tyranny without question

I called them on Thursday at the end of the day and they were able to come fix a broken lock on Friday. It was not an emergency but it sounded like if it was they would've been able to come Thursday evening. Felipe was who I spoke with and who I sent pictures via text back and forth with and he was great.
I appreciate his urgency. He also was able to change our locks around a bit so we use one key for 3 separate locks.
If we ever need a locksmith in the future we will use them again!

Just moved in to a new home in Berwyn, and needed rekeying all my doors. I called and from the initial call everyone was very professional. I schedulled an appointment for service and the technician arrived exactly on the time scheduled. He was very professional and proficient with his work. He gave us an estimate and options for ua to save money. He installed a new deadbolt on the front door where there was not an existing one and the lock works amazingly. Great work and excellent pricing. I was able to pay with my Android Pay by taping the technician's portable square device, which made
