I highly recommend Amazing Lock - they were able to schedule an appointment to come and change my locks in less than 24 hours after I called, arrived in the stated time window, and the locksmith, Bill, was very professional. They gave me a quote over the phone, too, which I really appreciated. I have used this Locksmith for over a decade, both personally and as the Board President of a 30 unit vintage condo building.

My condo building hired Amazing Locks to update our common area locks. Performed work as expected and was very professional. Would recommend.

Odd to give five stars to a company that I didn't need service from but that's the way it turned out. I submitted an e-mail request for a quote and got a response to phone the store. After explaining my issue the locksmith asked for a photo and I figured out the problem based on our brief phone call. Saved them a trip out to do what I could and appreciate their questions. Will call again if need help.

Normally, I get my keys copied at Home Depot, but I had to visit Amazing Lock Service for a unique/old key. The locksmith had the key stock I needed and made three copies within a few minutes. The cost was comparable to Home Depot with better service. I'll be heading here for any future key needs!

These guys were great. They were able to come out quickly and let us back in when we got locked out. Price was fair and they fixed our lock problems. They were also friendly. Highly highly recommend. Would give 10 stars if we could. Thanks guys!

We have worked with Bill at Amazing Lock multiple times at multiple properties. He is responsive, friendly and efficient. Whether for new locks, or vintage sets for our historic properties, he always finds a solution. I cannot recommend them enough!

I've been using Amazing Lock for well over 20 years and have never--not once--had a bad experience. Bill recently came out and took care of six lock issues within an hour. (Our home was built in 1884 so finding a company that can work with doors, knobs and locks of that era is absolutely amazing!) Pun! Amazing Lock has my highest recommendation!

Needed a locksmith for my condo door and Bill from Amazing Lock showed up within 25 minutes of calling. Very polite and took him 10 minutes to get my front door open. Definitely recommend them.

I use this service for our condo building for lock changing and key cuts. We also have a couple of rental units they have done work on for us. They offer really fast response and friendly staff. Pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Buyer Beware... I recently used amazing locks. The lock they installed was not flush with my door. 2 days later a screw fell out. A friend took a thin flat tool to my locked door and opened it. We showed the video to amazing locks and we tried to work with the company for a refund. We were happy to pay for parts used and made right by a second company. It seemed to be going well until they sent the faulty installer to negotiate a skimpy partial refund. He stood behind his labor and would not refund it. Frustrating to say the least.

Professional & Knowledgeable. It's hard to find reputable work, and someone that is quick to respond. Came out for an estimate, left saying some research was needed. Called same day with a solution and fixed the problem. Pricey, but worth the work.

Excellent experience with this company. Have had to call them several times. They answered immediately and were always able to help. I find the owner and the employees of Amazing Lock Service to be reliable and very trustworthy.
I like the fact that they are local and have been in the business for a number of years. They really know what they are doing!

Called Amazing Lock Service on a Monday afternoon after our front door suddenly wouldn't open. It was unlocked and the knob turned but the latch wouldn't unlatch. Bill showed up about 45 minutes later and had the door opened in about 5 seconds flat. He told me that a spring had broken and we needed a new lockset, but it would be difficult to find something that fit our old door because of its unusual dimensions.

After ensuring that it was ok to leave us with just the deadbolt for a little while, he removed the broken lockset and said he would look for something that would work and

We called on a Sunday at 8pm. Jake came out in less than 30 minutes! He was knowledgeable, nice and fixed our issue quickly. What was the issue? Well the door handle on the side didn't work in addition to the deadbolt getting stuck. Couldn't get out of the house! He needed to take the entire mechanism out of the door. Like i said he knew what he was doing. Gave me lots of confidence he'd get the job done.

He even re-keyed the lock while he was here.

Will for sure use Jake and Amazing Lock Service again.

Great experience with this company! Nick came out to fix a malfunctioning paddle lock in our condo building. He was prompt and friendly, and explained what was wrong, and what he'd done to fix it. Later in the day, it got stuck in the hold-open position, and he came back at 5:30 pm to fix it, showed me why that'd happened, and how to prevent it from happening again.

I owe these guys a big one. I have a person who I am no longer friends with refusing to give a copy of my key back. For my piece of mind I wanted the locks re-keyed. I contacted them Monday morning and had an estimate within the hour as well as a time window. Jake was early but called to let me know he was 10 minutes out. He was very friendly and the job was done quickly and professionally. He even demonstrated that the old key no longer worked and only the new keys did. Thanks so much guys, you'll be my new go to!

These guys crush it. Called them over the holidays (yeah, this review is overdue) because the key I'd stashed to our apartment had been taken, and no one could get in to feed our cat. This service was recommended to me by our real estate company, as they knew our landlord and would be able to change the locks to the apartment while ensuring our landlord's master key would still work. (Hooray.)

Long story short, I got on the phone with them, and a few hours later the work was done. Would've been great if they could've fed the cat as well, but hey, what can you do. Also, two

Not sure which gentleman came out as I was not home, but the service was quick and professional.

There had been a series of break-in's in the hood where the lock was popped open. From all reports, Amazon packages were the items of interest. Our location was fine, but figured why tempt fate.

Gave these guys a call, explained what I was looking for (based on recommendations from another building that had work done) and made arrangements for them to come out and install the item. I was asking about some overkill stuff and the gentleman I spoke to on the phone talked me out of as he said I didn

Bill at Amazing Lock came out to my building to install a new front door auto closing mechanism and guaranteed the work a few years back.

Now I had an old door that expanded sometimes with humidity and moisture and the door would catch and not close. Bill came out 7-8 times over the years to adjust the closing. He has ne er I charged me once for the additional time and did it with a smile and laughter!

The best service I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY INDUSTRY!

Phil just came by after I called, wanting to upgrade my Lakeview shop's front door lock. After assessing, and determining my deadbolt was sufficient, he actually told me I didn't need anything. He offered to write up an estimate for what the most I could do if I really wanted but this guy clearly did not try upselling. And he made me feel so much safer about my shop security situation.

Now if Chicago politicians could be so kind as to do the same with this ridiculous crime spree so I stop waking up in the middle of the night to check my security cameras. Please and thank you.
