Hoblin Locksmiths

FANTASTIC Service! I called at 3:00, Paul was there by 4:30. He was friendly, professional, and fun to chat with. I would absolutely recommend this business.

Hoblin Locksmiths is by far the BEST locksmith I have ever encountered. If you need a locksmith, do yourself a favor and call Paul!
My fiancé and I first used Paul’s locksmith services when moving into our home and needed the locks changed. From start to finish, Paul was extremely knowledgeable, kind and professional. His prices are extremely reasonable and he does the job right the first time (unlike other locksmiths who fix it half way only so they can come back and charge a hefty price again).
Additionally, we have used Paul’s locksmith services in times of emergency, to which he was extremely responsive and blew us away with his abilities. One evening after a long day of work, and running back and forth doing laundry, our key got stuck in our lock an my fiancé and I couldn’t get back inside. Panicked because our stove was on, Paul got to our apartment in 10 minutes and within 15 min we were back inside our apartment. After getting us inside, Paul not only replaced our lock, but also adjusted our keys, made us an additional key we needed, changed our doorknob (it had been loose) and taught us what had happened to our door. Paul genuinely cares about helping others and his craft is truly exceptional.
We are extremely grateful for Hoblin Locksmiths and THANK YOU for providing the best locksmith service in Westchester!

High integrity, reputable, and reasonably priced. We called Hoblin in a pinch one Wednesday night with a jammed lock on a front door that would not close. Paul arrived right away, working quickly on a complicated job that involved quite a bit of disassembly and re-​assembly. Rates were very reasonable given emergency nature of job and level of difficulty. Would strongly recommend Hoblin to anyone needing locksmith, emergency or otherwise.

We just moved to a new home and needed our locks changed on move in day. From my first phone call, Paul was extremely knowledgable and very helpful. As expected, move in day was extremely busy but Paul came in and got the job done quickly and easily. He was totally self-​sufficient (thank goodness because I was directing movers) and very friendly. He even gave us a delivery recommendation for lunch since we were new to the area. I will definitely return for any future lock or key issues. I highly recommend Hoblin… they are knowledgable, friendly, and the price is very reasonable!

Had a very old lock and went there to get a cylinder, needless to say my lock installation abilities are not that good. In fact they are terrible. Came back af 4pm on a Friday to schedule an appointment for the locksmith (Paul) to come out. Explained what was going on and he headed over to my house and changed out the lock in minutes. Great price, excellent service and overall a very nice person. Don’t see that to much nowadays. Highly recommended if you need anything lock smith related in lower Westchester.

What a great experience! Paul, the owner, and his wife were more than accommodating and my anxiety disappeared when Paul arrived (exactly on time, I might add!!) and got my safe open without breaking the darn thing! So courteous and kind. When I move next year I’ll certainly use Hoblin for my locks, etc! THANK YOU!!!

I needed copies to a key that I was told was going to be impossible to get based on the fact that they’re rare keys and that I had to contact the maker of the lock itself or get the whole lock changed out instead. I even went to the locksmith who had originally made a copy of the key as their name was engraved right on it!
I decided to call Hoblin’s and spoke to Paul who recommended that I send him pictures of the key so that he could tell me whether he would be able to make copies or not. Sure enough, he said he could and so I went directly there and he had my three copies made in a matter of minutes.
He and his wife are also very nice people, which made the experience even better.
I could not be more thankful. Thank you again, Paul!

An overall lovely experience and high quality service. This company is a pleasure to deal with and they are very knowledgeable about locks. My doors look great and now, most importantly, they lock! I’d highly recommend.

I needed a lock fixed. It could not have been done easier, quicker or better. They are definitely old school when it comes to quality and customer service. I highly recommend them.

I had a wonderful experience at Hoblin Locksmith. When it comes to keys for your home, it’s important to find someone reliable that you can trust. Marsha was very kind and helpful! Great service and really nice people.

I had a great experience with this locksmith. From the moment I called, they were very courteous and gracious for my business. My keys worked like a charm and they went the extra mile and made sure everything worked before they left.

An overall positive experience! Paul arrived on time and was knowledgeable about the locks. He was respectful of my time (I had a very busy day planned), and got right to work, finishing the job in a timely manner. I have no issues with the new locks — they’re doing their job! Price was commensurate with other locksmiths in the area. Very nice people to do business with. If I need a locksmith, I will have them again.

Great experience. They came on a weekend to change all my locks because that worked for my schedule. The locks work perfectly, he took the time to make sure it worked right. The price was extremely reasonable. A few months have passed since the locks were installed and they still work great. He also took the time to put in the same color strike plates (I believe that’s what the metal part on the door frame is). I would use them again.

Good service, local business and very worthwhile to support. I have used them before, and again yesterday. I am a very satisfied customer and will use them again.
It’s always a good idea to call before going, as sometimes the locksmiths need to be out on calls.

I needed keys made for various doors, desks, filing cabinets for a new office space in Scarsdale. The hardware store closest to my office could make most of the keys, but directed me to Hoblin’s for a specialty key. I should have gone there first as they did a FANTASTIC job on the keys.
Most new keys feel «sticky» when you put them in, but the ones Hoblin made glided right in. The service was prompt, friendly and the price was reasonable.
When I had another key to be made, I went back and after asking if there were any supermarkets in the area, Marsha literally walked me across the street to a fantastic grocer, introduced me and got us some sample fruit! THAT is service!
I notice many of the reviews on here are fairly polarized. It seems like a couple people were having a bad day. That’s not Hoblin’s fault. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to others.
On a side note, they also happen to have a small VHS collection for sale as well as some delicious gluten free, vegan Raw Revolution bars, which are tasty and hard to come by!

Very nice locksmith. I came in with an key for an old lock. When I went back to my apartment to try it out it did not work. It was not there fault. I came back and told them. They made a new key. They made a few changes so that it would work.

Don’t do it!!!
First, Helen M.‘s review is right about accessibility. it’s impossible to get in touch with Hoblin (I drove over three separate times during published «open» hours to find a post-​it on the door and nobody there), and if you finally do get through, Marsha will hold you captive for 45 minutes talking about –anything– but what you need.
I persevered and made an appointment for a home visit because the other reviews talk about Hoblin doing good work. that’s where I must disagree with the other reviewers. I needed one lock installed and one fixed … the locksmith worked on the installation and did a horrible job. the lock and key would not operate without sticking to the point where I thought the key would snap in two. And he refused to even look at the repair job, telling me that it was hopeless and would need to be replaced based solely on my description. Well, I don’t know about locks, that’s why I called a pro to look at it! Even though he wouldn’t look at it, he charged the full price for a home visit.
I had to call in another, competent locksmith to fix his work on the installation … and I opened up the second lock and actually fixed it myself — it was not hopeless (and I’m not all that handy!).
Bottom line: I’m out a couple hundred bucks and had to redo everything … I hope I can save others from the same mistake!

Paul is a highly credentialed locksmith but it is so impossible to get in touch with him or to get the front desk, Marsha, to set up an appointment instead of discussing her personal life and experiences that, after spending a week attempting to set up a time, I cancelled the entire thing and had to contact another locksmith.
She upbraided me for purchasing a lock on my own instead of having them procure it for me, could not speak to any specifics on the business other than it is 85 years in existence, and made it impossible to execute a transaction.
