24/7 Locksmith Seattle

Pros: they came out and redid the lock on my mailbox
Cons: The charge listed on the webpage is definitely NOT what you will pay. It wound up being $ 150+ to replace the lock. The guy who came out couldn’t figure out how to run the credit card so he started texting the number to someone at the office along with the expiration date etc to figure it out. Eventually just paid him in cash. Checked my credit card the next day and there was the charge pending.
They fixed my problem, but I think next time I’ll try somewhere less shady.

Got us back into our house in about 50 minutes. We called the number online in panic, spoke with a rep who was quick and responsive, took our info and about 5 min later we got a call from the guys who would be helping us. About 30 min later a guy and his dad came to the house we gave us some estimates, thankfully it was only our bottom front door lock. POP he did it and it was $ 60 cash. They followed us to the atm.

These people are incredibly dumb. 19 is not what they charge. Its 19 just to go out then its 25 an hour or depending on what the «technician» decides. Calling these guys techs is like calling monkey a humanoid. Well, they do have two arms and two legs… I backed out right at the last min.
Here’s what happened
Call, please hold, music, then silence
Me– Hello?
Female voice– Yes?
Me– can you here me?
Her– yes
me– is this the lock smith?
Her– yes
me –I locked my keys in my car
Her– what is the address?
Me– its one the block north of pine on 7^th street in front of an abandoned building, across from barnes and nobel
her– What is the address
me– I don’t have the address
her– I need the address sir
me– I just told you I don’t have it
her– what is the address?
Me– I don’t have the address its on the block north of pine on 7^th
Her– I need the address
me– what do you do if there is no address?
Her– What is the Address?
Me– Oh my God you’re and idiot.
What if you’re on HWY 18 and there are no buildings around? what then? idiots
I called back with the address and then I found out about the hourly charge. um no.

THEY PUT THE EAZE IN SLEAZE!
I needed a house re-​keyed for new tenants. First their $ 19 service call and $ 19 per lock charge is 100% bait and switch. I asked on the phone what constitutes a $ 19 re-​keyed lock. They would not answer and said they would have to see the lock. Apparently the $ 19/​lock charge assumes you have a smart lock and the associated re-​keying tool. If you have this, do it yourself! The charge for a normal re-​keying immediately went to $ 59/​lock. I wanted it done so I said OK.
Here is where it gets interesting. He takes all the locks and deadbolts off the house and leaves to his ‘lab’. They arrive in an unmarked SUV, so their lab is probably around the corner in order to force the next step.
Then he calls and says I need new locks for $ 79/​lock installed. I am unable to see the new locks he wants to sell, and the house has no locks in it. I am at another location so telling him to put the old ones back and leave was not an option.
The locks they install are really cheap locks. When the bill comes he charges the $ 79/​lock and adds $ 10/​lock for installation. This was a good time to explode, and the $ 10/​lock was removed.
Really sleazy business practices. One star is a gift to these guys

I’m disgusted that I have to even give them one star. I guess that star will go to the tech who showed up and did a good job.
I locked my keys out of my house in the middle of the night. I used my phone to find a locksmith in Lynnwood and this abomination of a business was the first to come up. I called and after being on hold for a few minutes I told the «dispatch» person my situation, and asked how much it would cost. They said it was $ 19.00 + a minimum of $ 35 to open the door. I explained again to the person that I was locked out of my house, and I don’t want to pay like $ 100 to open the door. I asked the price of unlocking a standard door lock and the replied that it’s pretty simple, and it starts at $ 35.
Long story short, the tech told me it was a minimum of $ 169 to unlock a door. When he saw how upset I was he instantly gave me a 10% discount. I appreciate the effort on his behalf, but that’s insane.
I could have broken my kitchen window and replaced it for cheaper than the $ 185.00 they charged me to unlock my front doo.

Locked my keys in my running car. Should have read all these Unilocal reviews first. Called this place… They asked me the year make and model of my car. I told them. Quoted me a $ 35 service few for showing up and $ 25 to unlock the door. Sure okay. They’ll be here in 20 – 25 minutes. Over and hour later and numerous text and calls about my inquiry about where was the tech and him asking me to verify the address. He had the thing address twice after telling him where u was. Told me he was late from traffic. THERE IS ALWAYS TRAFFIC. plus their address showed they were only ten minutes away. When the guy gets here in his personal car takes one look at my car and says it’s a $ 125 to unlock the door vecause my car was new. I told him i stated what kind if car I had over the phone and now why is the price different. Because your car is new he states. But I told them exactly what kind of car I had. Than says $ 25 is a basic price for like a Nissan. I said that makes no sense why would they price me for a Nissan when I told them exactly what my car is. I called the manager and he could tell I was irritated and his only response was please don’t speak to me this way ma’am. I hung up in frustration because I was obviously trying to go somewhere and was already late because dude took longer than he said he was. Told the guy this was the shittiest service I’ve ever had and to go ahead and unlock my car. Because I felt like at this point I had no choice. In two minutes he had my car unlocked. With the basic tools. I knew immediately he had scammed me. THEN later on after I got to where I was going I looked at this receipt and the numbers plus tax added up to less than the total he charged me! Later on my husband called in pretending to be another customer with the same car and was quoted a different price and that he wouldn’t be charges over a hundred dollars to unlock the vehicle. (Which I was charged 175) he asked to speak to a manager the person on the phone said she was a manager. When my husband said his wife was charged $ 175 for something she just assured him would not be over $ 100. She put him on hold and never picked up again. He called back and spoke with another gentleman and after debating for an hour and saying we could could get a credit for next time blah blah the company decided because I signed the receipt they were in the right to charge me what they did even tho they overcharged me and deceived me.

I’m still mad about these thieves!!!
Less than one star.

Fucked up and locked my keys in my truck. Didn’t put much thought in it called the first locksmith that popped up, cool 15 min to be here it’s midnight I wanna go to bed. Lady on the phone says it’ll be 15 to show up and 35 to open the vehicle depending on what tools he will need. Awesome my truck = old. No alarms no roundabout locking mechanisms nada. The «locksmith» calls three times and every time pushes this 15 min show up time into what turned to be an he and a half later. Dude shows up looks at my old ass truck and says «oh it’s gonna be 165+ 15 for the service fee.» I handed him the 15 and said «bye“then he goes «oh wait you’re not gonna pay it? It’s so late tho» and I said «nope» and start walking back to my house cussing to myself (I literally said «I’ll get my punk ass a m-​fing slim Jim when the parts store open he must think I’m dumb as fuck 160 to pop an old ass door this ain’t no brand new lexus») then he says «what if I do it for 100?» I said «nope I got 50 that’s it» and then he goes «I can take you to an atm» and again said nope then he goes (rudely as hell) «oh well I’ll do it I’m already here.» So I end up helping him to unlock it (took all of two minutes…) and he broke my door handle yanking it open and to which he goes uh. Well it’s old… Ha. Ha. Ha. Funny how’s it’s old but you are literally the only person who’s ever had issues opening it huh… Maybe pulling the wedge out that’s putting pressure on the door would help…
Got no receipt, no proof this ever happened. Other than like five phone calls back and forth.
Long story short: GET YOUR HELP ANYWHERE BUT HERE!!! A DRUNK PIRATE WILL PROBABLY BE JUST AS USEFUL!!! What this guy didn’t know is I’ve been a service tech and worked auto auctions, I’ve learned to unlock doors (with said proper tools that he didn’t really seem to have) I just do not own these tools or I’d do it myself. He gets his prices by how ignorant he thinks a person is and got irritated with me cuz I know what he’s doing.

RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! I simply echo the words of everyone else on this thread. This company came to my house in an unmarked van, opened my front door in less than 3 minutes with a pick lock, and then charged me $ 180 for it! The guy only gave me a discount if I paid in cash. It was incredibly shady.
Then when I called the company (425−242−6294) I asked the name of the company and they just kept dodging my question and asking if I had been serviced by a technician and what my address was and whatnot. Finally I called back and asked another girl and she answered me with «Uhh…24/7 Locksmith Service, I think.» I said, «Hang on a second… you think?! Do you even work for the company?!» I demanded a refund and they wouldn’t give it to me.
This place is a thousand different shades of scam. DO NOT use them.

Run the other way with these guys. They are a total scam!!! Wanted to charge me $ 500!!! Had some one else come and he charged me $ 175 for parts and labor. The real locksmith told me all about them and knew who they were right away. They scam old people and take their money too!

This company is operating in the greater Seattle, WA area as a mobile Locksmith. BEWARE!
Predatory Business practices: The customer service rep will quote you with a ‘minimum service call’ charge to which the independent contractor who shows up is not obligated to accommodate. I was duped into paying over $ 200 to simply open a door when I locked my keys in my running vehicle. The company takes advantage of their customers who are often in very vulnerable situations. The independent contractor arrived in an unmarked minivan 1 hour after the call for service was made (25 minutes was quoted). The Independent contractor then inquired about my ethnicity!~
I was left on the street with an invoice that has a fake phone number on it (206.123.1234) and zero information about the contractor himself. There is no recourse.
Upon follow-​up with the company over the phone, I was provided only with fake names and was given the run around. I was yelled at. No one would provide the business owners name upon several demands (the fake name I was provided was «David Smith». They have no physical office space for recourse.
Please, someone shut this company down!

²⁴⁄₇ Locksmith is the biggest scam operation of it’s kind in Seattle. It’s surprising how long it’s taking for Seattle-​lites to catch on, but then, even I got duped and this was after I had already caught them scamming me once before. I’ve spoken with the people at Broadway Locksmith, and Burdick’s Security now, and the theory is that this is an operation run out of NYC. There really is no ²⁴⁄₇ Locksmith and any time you try and call a locksmith, they’ve got the search engine’s so rigged that it takes you to ²⁴⁄₇ Locksmith instead of the locksmith you’re really trying to reach. The real Broadway Locksmith, and the real Burdick’s Security are top notch operations that do excellent work at a fair price. ²⁴⁄₇ is a total rip-​off. I hate to sound racist, but the tip-​off is the guy who answers the phone has a heavy accent, probably from the mid-​east.
I was in the middle of an eviction, (I know, that sounds awful and it’s not something I relish doing) and the sheriff informed me that I had better get the front door locked changed in the next hour or my months of waiting to evict this awful tenant was going up in smoke. I called what I thought was Broadway Locksmith, with the knowledge that I had already once been duped, and I unknowingly got routed to ²⁴⁄₇ Locksmith and they managed to steal the job away. I was so distracted with the eviction I thought I was talking with Broadway Locksmith but it was really ²⁴⁄₇ Locksmith. They have no trucks with LOGOS on them, nothing. This guy shows up and before I know it, he has installed what he says is a commercial grade tumbler in my 70 year old front door that can be kicked in by a 7 year old, and a job that should have cost $ 150.00 is now $ 303.00. The lock itself is garbage, they key barely turns in it, and the key has almost no cuts. It’s a total joke, except the joke is on me.
Normally I would have caught this, but the eviction was so distracting I didn’t realize what the tech was doing. He didn’t even ask me what kind of tumbler I wanted before installing it. Watch OUT! ²⁴⁄₇ Locksmith goes by at least a dozen different names and are total rip-​offs. Make sure you’re calling the people you really want.
