PHS Locksmiths

Called Joe at 8:00 am he was at our house by 9:30 am. Fixed the the lock and couldn’t be more professional. Highly recommend this company for locksmith issues.

Very helpful for when we bought our new house. We got quotes from a few places. Al was very thorough on the phone in explaining the difference between changing the locks and «re-​keying», and in laying out all of the costs out front. They ended up being the most cost-​effective, and Joe was professional and quick when he came out for the job.

Joe was excellent and understanding. He explained everything he was doing and was so quick. Our new home is officially ours and we were able to keep the integrity of our original doors. Thank you PHS!

Our babysitter got locked out with the kids while both my wife and I were out of town. Called PHS from the side of the mountain at 10k ft and they said they could get someone over in 2 hours as all his locksmiths were out on jobs. Seemed reasonable so I set up the appointment. By the time I got to the bottom they called me up and the said they would send someone right away. Got my babysitter and kids in less than an hour later and charged me less than he quoted. Very happy with the prompt friendly service!

Joe from PHS did a great job rekeying our house. He called before coming, and arrived on time, no waiting around all day for someone to show up! He did eight locks in less than an hour and was very professional. The pricing was up front and reasonable, and he even gave me his cell number in case we have an emergency in the future. I would highly recommend this company!

Called them on Monday at 10:00 am to come out and replace my front and rear door and garage locks. Was told that their tech would be here around 1:00. Felipe showed up not only on time but an hour early (very nice) at noon and took a look at my locks and quoted me a very reasonable price. He was very friendly, polite and professional throughout his visit. An hour later I had new locks that worked perfectly. I was very impressed with him and the company in general and I will definitely use them again.

Thank you PHS for outstanding service. We bought a house in Berwyn. PHS was patient and accommodating as the closing date kept getting moved around. Every time I called the phone service was very good. When we finally did use the locksmith we were very pleased with the service. He called about 10 minutes before arriving. He was prompt, thorough, and quick. Pricing was up front and reasonable. Will definitely use them again in the future. Highly recommended.

After dealing with several locksmiths to either repair a broken key or purchase a key I was given crazy quotes but PHS was able to repair my broken key for 6 dollars. They definitely came through. Very honest and very satisfied.

Just had PHS out to replace a nasty front door handle/​lock combo that had been on our house for probably 50+ years. Filipe both came out for the quote (deadly accurate) and he did the installation as well. I’ve never been in the store, but had no need to with the first-​class treatment and installation from Filipe!

VERY satisfied first time customer. Immediate appointment availability, punctual, polite (call me old fashioned — i am a sucker for people who call me «sir «…), efficient, did not try to sell me a new lock, reasonable rates — why everybody cannot provide this level of service? HIGHLY recommended.

BIZARRE! This company is located in Oak Park. They’ve been around long enough to know the drill. But the woman who answered the phone started complaining that they would not be able to make an appointment with me unless I could guarantee that there would be street parking near my place. I explained that there were places to park, but as any Oak Parker knows, the approved spaces change by day part, and you have to pay attention to the signs, and place your car in the parts of the block that allow parking during that time of day. She did not accept this, and went on to say that she could not commit to making an appointment because I was unable to tell her what parking would be available on a particular day later in the week. Way to kill business!
I actually wound up booking a competitor of theirs, who had no such qualms.

With a cheap lock on a side door, a broken lock on the garage and an old mortis lock on the front door with a different key, it seemed to be time to replace all of these with a set of matched locks.
When i first planned this i thought it was going to be difficult and maybe require a lot of back and forth with a locksmith, but after 10 minutes in PHS, they explained exactly what i needed to do and i had a new set of locks in my hand that afternoon. I installed them myself, and everything worked out exactly as they explained it would.
Very helpful folks!

Very happy with Felipe who did some nice work and gave me additional advice about security for the building where I live. Price seemed fair. My dog didn’t scare him. My neighbors recommended him and I agree.
Thank you.

What a Great experience. We needed some locks rekeyed after moving in and Joe did a great job, was friendly and helped me understand what was going on with our locks. Highly recommend this company!

I went in to PHS Locksmiths this morning to get a few copies of keys made. They were friendly and quick, and I definitely would have recommended them based on this experience alone. But then, later this afternoon I locked myself and my 9 week old puppy out of my condo without my wallet or cell phone. I walked all the way to PHS Locksmiths, hoping they’d be able to help, and they were! They came to my condo very quickly and were able to get me back into my place in a flash. The guy who helped me out (Joe, I think) was super nice and really made the experience much less bad that it could have been.

Excellent, friendly, fast, and timely service.

Our back door lock wasn’t moving at all, and we couldn’t get out of the house! I called them early Saturday morning, on a day when we had a lot of commitments. I didn’t like that we couldn’t schedule a time, and in fact I told them we wouldn’t be home until noon, but got a phone message that the worker had shown up at 11! Communication was poor. HOWEVER, the guy came again and was fantastic! He didn’t try to sell us a new, expensive lock, which most locksmith services would have done. Instead, he actually repaired the lock. He was an old-​time locksmith, and told us he had 32 years experience in the biz. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. An excellent worker, skilled in the trade, saving us money, and showed up within a reasonable time frame. So glad to «shop local» and get great service. Will definitely use them the next time we need the help of a locksmith.

Hired them when the key broke off in my double security floor safe. (You unlock the combination lock with a key.) They had the broken key piece extracted, and the lock tumbler repaired on site in just under 30 minutes. :)
I highly recommend them.

Really nice place. They do more than just get you back inside when you lose your keys. They have all sorts of doorknobs and locks. They give lots of good advice on DIY installation. they helped me rekey my locks so that I can use the same key for many doors. They have an array of skeleton keys, and they sold me a few so I could open a china cabinet I got from Gramma, and then I returned the ones that didn’t work. They sold this neat plastic template guide to drill out the holes to install a door lock, though at a higher price than the same one at Dressel’s. They have two sweet dogs behind the counter. Everyone I’ve talked to here has been really helpful and friendly and you can just chat with them. I will be using these guys for all my dook/​lock/​key needs.

Hired PHS to re-​key five lock cores and install a deadbolt. Was quoted $ 200 on phone; job completed, flawlessly, for $ 189.67.
Installer, Felipe, arrived on time and gave me a written quote after inspecting each lock. His work was clean — no sawdust or debris from drilling — and checked that each lock worked with ech key he cut. I am very happy with PHS Locksmiths and definitely recommend them.
