Bullis Lock Co.

We went to Home Depot 3 times and the keys never worked. went to this place and it has been perfect.

Bullis has made me look like a magician for years. Every imaginable key replacement and advanced security issues taken care of and at a great price. For myself, on behalf of my clients, or when having recommended them. File cabinet key replacement, fob keys, security keys, door lock, trailer hitch security, auto key replacement, advice.
It happens. You lost it. Bullis was there, man!

I called a guy in a major rush to get something opened, they couldn’t get anyone out in time so instead the guy just gave me some info that helped me open it on my own. Amazing, would give them my business from here on out.

Bullis was able to send a locksmith within 45 minutes to my location. He was very nice, professional, and thorough. Seemed like a reasonable price given the last minute notice.

These guys are fantastic!
Bought a used car that came with only 1 key. It is the type of key with a chip: wrong key = car won’t start. (Didn’t know this until I went to get a duplicate at the local hardware store.) Toyota dealer wanted to charge $ 150 for the key PLUS service hours for programming it.
Local hardware store mentioned Bullis. I’ve probably driven by here 100 times and never noticed it.
Walked in, gave them the key, asked if they could make another. «Sure can!» they said. Since the key was more expensive due to the chip, they cut a plain metal key first to be sure it worked in the lock and ignition. Then they went out to test it on my car. Once confirmed, they cut the chipped key. They then went out again and tested the chipped key on the car to be sure the car would start with it.
Cost was around $ 70 including tax, and they gave me the metal flat key to keep as an extra in case the key gets locked in the car (fits in a wallet).
Service was excellent. Happy to give them a great review.

Guys this review should only require 5 words…
THESE. GUYS. ARE. LIFE. SAVERS. SERIOUSLY!!!
ok ok ok 6 words… But for real these guys have gotten me out of so many pinches in the last few years. Id never take any lock/​key issue anywhere else!!!

I am a high security business owner, and I use these guys when I need the job done right. Their prices tend to run slightly higher, but rest assured the job will be done right. They are prompt, knowledgeable, and stand behind their work. Terry, is their field tech and he knows more than most people and knows how to install low voltage too. Better to pay these guys once, than the cheap guy twice

I came in to make a copy of a key for my 1993 Yamaha Virago motorcycle. Ace and Home Depot could not make the copy, and I couldn’t even find the right blank key on-​line. Five dollars and five minutes later, I left with a perfectly functioning copy. This place does good work.

Went in there around 4:45 and they close at 5. Without calling ahead or anything they copied my car key and was out the door with minutes to spare. They were professional but also fun to chat with. Good price to compared to other quotes I’ve gotten since my car key has an electronic chip and not everywhere can make them.

I realize the holidays tend to make people nicer, but I highly doubt I would have received treatment anything less than 5 stars had I stopped in for new keys in post-​holiday, cold, dreary January. Bullis Lock provides professional, efficient service. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

I found Bullis after getting keys from both Sears and Ace that did NOT work. Joe struck up a convo while I was waiting in line and I after he looked at the key he knew that they were NOT the master as the landlord stated, they belonged to a very old building/​lock and he took it from there. He used a trick of putting a piece of paper to level the grooves and that worked like butter. No offense but I’m taking skilled/​knowledgable locks smiths over High Schoolers any day.

ask for joe! places like this are hard to come by. amazing over the top customer service, the willingness to really help a customer out!
joe even wanted me to call him when i got home and let him know if the key (cut from a code on a blank i had to order off the internet!) worked. it did!
thanks again joe. ive got you on speed dial now.

The people here are wonderful. I came in to get my motorcycle key copied and, having found Bullis online, I decided to try them out. I am glad that I did! Not only did they have blanks for my key, but I was in and out in under 5 minutes!
I cannot recommend them enough!

these guys are great — they have blanks for 70’s and 80’s Honda motorcycles that you can’t find in many other places

They are very good at what they do. They are the place to go when other lock companies can’t help. I have been using them for over 20 years and would definitly refer them to others.

Definite pros. I was referred here by Ace hardware at Elston and Belmont, and they arrived within 20 minutes on a Saturday. It took the guy a while to pry the broken-​off key out of the keyhole, but he finally did. Once that was done, we got in and he re-​set the lock so it wouldn’t jam like that again. He was in and out in about 15 minutes, and we had some good conversation while he was working. He said my lock was a challenge, which I took as a compliment. See, absentee landlords have something going for them after all!

Bullis Lock has like most places I review been around 4ever. Highest calibre locksmithing done here.
While others come here for something more in the latest technology vein, one reason I return is because they do mortise locks. You know, the (very) old-​timey ‘keyhole’ type in your old construction apartment doorknobs. I can get duplicates of these when I have an original, or they have a full complement of masters to reference when I don’t possess the original. So I get all the locks on my doors 100% functional, all the better to slow-​down or thwart a potential break-​in (am I wrong to give them this tip here?). I’m a technical-​type myself, and’ve been surprized at what they can do for me when all hope was lost.
So if Bullis does this, you know they do all things lock superior. A tiny amount of off-​street parking, open Sarurday mornings, located couple doors west of Schurz H.S. (by Milwaukee Ave).

Very knowledgeable and helpful set of people, with great customer service. They let you know what the best and cheapest options are, and will give you an estimate up front. I would go there for all my lock needs.
