King Locksmith and Keys

Deserves 0 stars. Total bill of 212.55 to unlock my front door? Took all of 3 minutes for him to unlock it. When I was told on the phone it would cost 55 dollars. The locksmith also was a total creep and said he would pay big money if me, or someone I knew would marry him so he could get his papers. I will be contacting BBB!

If I could rate this less than 1 star I would. Had the worse experience ever last night. My daughter locked her keys in her car. I decided to call this company because of the low price that was advertised. When I called the man quoted $ 55, which I thought was a good price. I told him I would call him back because I wanted to compare other prices. Someone called me 5 minutes later asking me what price the 1^st person had quoted me. I thought that was weird but gave him the price I was quoted then we hung up. About 2 minutes later he texted me saying he can do it for $ 20. I replied his text telling him I would let him know. About an hour later I asked him if we can schedule an appointment for the following day since it was 10p already by this time. He replied by text saying «I can come now for free». I replied «for free?». He said «it depends», followed by a happy face emoji. I was shocked he even said that!!! I replied with «never mind thank you». He never replied after that. How unprofessional is that and creepy to say the least? Never will I call this company again. It scares me to think what would of happened if he would of helped me earlier in the day? STILL SHOCKED!!!

Advertises prices starting at $ 29 but locksmith who arrived at my apartment told me its $ 165 always. I Didn’t argue with him because I needed to get in but $ 29 is nowhere in the ballpark of $ 165…plus he added a $ 25 service fee on top of the $ 165 that he didn’t mention at all. After he handed me the receipt and left I saw the service charge was added to my receipt without my consent.
*the number I called was a 773 Chicago but is same website/​company
Don’t get scammed by false advertising and dishonest business, call elsewhere!

The website says they’ll unlock a car for $ 29, they said someone would come out in 20 minutes, it took 50 minutes and two phone calls. When the guy came he said it would be a hard job and it would be $ 90. We balked and talked him down to $ 60 — he used two balloons and a switch stick to unlock the car in 10 minutes — hard job my A$$. It looked like we just hired an off duty car thief. We got ripped off, call anyone but these guys.

It was 10:30pm and I was locked out of my apartment (not the building). I called this locksmith and one of their reps told me they are sending someone out and they’ll arrive shortly. I waited an hour and called them back for an ETA. I spoke to another rep who told me they are going to call my technician to see when they’ll arrive. I was on hold for another 10 minutes. Then a different person picked up. I had to provide my info all over again. Turns out that no technician was coming out to my apartment. I wasted an hour of my time and my phone battery was about to die. I asked why nobody contacted me and he said they were calling technicians for my area but it just so happened that they were all unavailable as soon as I called. I was pretty upset to say the least. I ended up having to wait another 40 minutes for my friend to pick me up so I have somewhere to stay. This company is trash and I don’t recommend it.

I called this company because the website says $ 29 for residential lockouts and I thought, wow this is great! When I spoke to someone on the phone, they quoted me a different estimate if $ 36 which I was still okay with. So the guy shows up and proceeds to tell me that it’s going to cost me $ 159! And if he can’t get in he will have to drill the locks, ruining the whole door knob. I called my husband who said just tell them to forget it because of the huge price difference but as soon as I hung up and was about to tell the guy, he opened the door! I paid him and called into the company to talk to a manager but the manager was «out of town.» I never got a call back either. This is totally bad business. It makes me feel like the company took advantage of me because I’m a woman and live in a nice house so they can just up the price. It’s ridiculous! My advice is not to use this company!
