Comments

Not knowing what else to do, we began making calls and scrolled through yelp. (Pro-tip: The yelp email for quotes shot ended up being quicker than individual calls as almost every place I messaged called me back in minutes, so if you are locked out and reading this, undoubtedly try that).
The woman on the phone was kind and the guy who came and ultimately unlocked us was quick and walked through each measure --that our doorknob was set up upside down so that he said he would try not to but if he had to split it that would be another charge (new doorknob and install)--it did not ultimately happen but I just really appreciated that he was up front about each step and stage and what he was doing and why. I hope that I never want them, but if I did I'd call them!
My fiancé and I both left our keys on the table inside our apartment--along with the extra set our pet sitter had just returned.
Finally it wasn't just the real-live human that made us choose the company, but they had been close-by (another place with greater and more evaluations is based out of NoVa and it requires at least an hour for them to even get to DC) AND they also quoted us the lowest rate.

They were instantaneous and quick but charged $200 to open a door in 30 seconds. An absolutely outrageous charge for such simple work. Discuss taking advantage of your clients.

Had an difficulties with scheduling initially; owner/manager known as and solved the matter. Communication timely and consistent service. Prompt service even during extreme cold and snow. Thank you!

Refused to give me a firm price until locksmith appeared at my doorway, then desired $179 EACH (regular knob and deadbolt) into DRILL my locks and destroy them. That's $358 to put me in to my apartment. (I didn't bother asking how much this could be.) When I inquired about picking the lock the locksmith whined about how long picking the locks would require and the way other people waited.
Also when I went to pay the $15 service charge - for coming out - I detected that the technician text info and my credit card number to be processed. This is totally unsecured! I call in to make the payment stopped him. It made me uncomfortable with a credit card to pay the company. I called my credit card company and requested a new card since I do not know if he stored my credit card number on his mobile phone or entered.
Be sure you get a FIRM cost when you call. Or even better call.

So this hasn't happened to me and I felt like a klutz, after locking myself from the friends and car house. Frankly I actually started to feel my holiday in DC could be destroyed and like that day wasn't mine. She had one pair of keys each that was given to me while she had been at work. I had no choice but to call her (which incidentally I considered doing). She is in the practice of locking out herself, so she had no problems in knowing who to call. I didn't need to wait before a locksmith got to the home. He had been quite professional and knew what he was about, so he was able to solve everything. He made me feel like it was no big deal locking out myself, also that my situation wasn't as awful as I thought. My friend says that the title"affordable" really does suit the business, so I am guessing that their services Aren't expensive.Even if I was really satisfied with their support, next time I'm in DC, I'm hoping my holiday does not include being locked out of whatever :)

Very respectable company. Ron was very professional and very fast to my location. I believed locking myself out of my car would be a nuisance but he came to my aid and made the experience very seamless. If you're in the D.C. place definitely give him a call or text. The price was very fair. Overall a fantastic experience!!!!

5 stars for price! My neighbor locked herself and after an hour of getting ridiculous rates to get a lockout situation and calling around, A1 provided to do the job for far lower price ~$115. A good chunk of change, particularly for something as absurd and casual as forgetting your keys, but other places wanted ~$200. The employee showed up in a fair period of time. Thank you A1.

After a little back and forth on the telephone they supplied a free estimate. Ron was in my home in less than half an hour. $140 was quoted by him, but agreed to meet us in other estimates - $110. Ron was quick and efficient at picking the lock. After getting in had a slight problem with the strike plate of the door - . Ron was a fantastic man, worked hard for a review.

I locked myself out of my apartment . I'm from Virginia Beach but that I have an apt in DC that I share with a roommate. I dropped the key the first night that I was here and was locked out because my roommate was staying with her b/f. I phoned A1 and he came really fast. He got at a excellent price and the doors unlocked without any hassle. Service was professional and courteous also. Lifesaver! Thanks A1!

Locked out of my own apt. Just called these guys. They are sending out someone and followed-up quickly. Will inform you how it goes! I am totally freaked out with all of the scams I keep reading about and these guys don't have reviews. Will keep you posted!

We also have an problem using the ignition cylinder and lost our only key. Another firm spent two hours and provided a key that may operate and called us.
Alex was friendly and professional. He provided two keys which work great and did an fantastic job.

TERRIBLE experience with this place now. Tech could be at my place at 35 minutes and stated was on his way. We hung up. An hour goes by and I call the same number, but it was the"dispatcher." He said he would have I am called by the tech. Still another 20 mins. Go by and it is the tech. He asks me if I need him to come?!?? Are you f-ing kidding me?? I looked in my phone. I said YES, I've been waiting at a parking lot for an hour and a half! He proceeds to tell me he is on his way and that it would be another 35 mins! At that point I said do not even bother. What a f-ing joke.

Alex did great job! Quick service/reasonable prices...

I will request for him to come back to replace the plates ordered.
Business was prepared to come straight away. Alex called before hand. He was incredibly knowledgeable about mortise locks / antique locks, very professional and kind.

Quick, friendly, and reasonably priced. I had a lock on a door and it was opened by Alex .

The only things keeping me from committing a fourth celebrity had been: 1) the locksmith was only able to give us two keys to new locks, so we then needed to go to Home Depot to get a couple more copies created (not a huge deal, but a minor annoyance ), and 2) that the final price was $175 which was a lot greater than the initial quote of"begins at $29". I am aware that the low first amount/service fee and much larger actual charge is a thing all locksmiths do, along with the ~$175 was about exactly what I had been expecting based on my research, but I still find it off-putting when a quote is off by a factor of about six.
To get a re-keying I'd get the time, although in a pinch I'd visit Affordable Locksmith again.
Super friendly and efficient. They responded to the petition for a quote to rekey front door lock to get a new rental, within just a couple minutes. The quote for the rekeying was"begins at $29", which wasn't out of line with all the other quotes we got. The locksmith was so or cared for the rekeying in about 20 minutes and managed to come by just a couple hours later, and he had been friendly also.

My mother-in-law secured herself. The roads were still cluttered from 4 inches of snow topped with sleet. The locksmith was not working due to the weather, although our locksmith was called by us.
A neighbor recommended Affordable Locksmiths, so we gave them a telephone. Twenty minutes later, Alex was at her door. Great service. Fair price. Plus they braved the icy roads to come to the rescue. A+ we'd use them again!

Customer support was very unbiased. I'm respectful they were able to get things resolved in a timely and quick manner since it was getting late.
Forgot my keys. Looked on yelp for recommendations and found that this company. I managed to receive a discount and unlocked the voucher. Pretty good support.
How it works is, you telephone, put in the petition, I envision with the dispatch person. A person calls you back to talk about pricing and affirm services. This is the grey area because depending upon labour and the type of lock, all of that determines the price. That part is so up in the atmosphere and that is the only reason. And the driver called to let me know he had been 15 mins away. He arrived with his instruments and managed to rapidly open the door in under 10 minutes. In my placing the call everything was resolved in about 1 hour.
They accept debit/credit, or money.

As the firm has worked hard to make it appropriate I am amending my negative review.
They deserve a shout out for the effort they are putting forth to correct some issues , while they still haven't performed the work. I'd advise that you ask for Jessica directly to schedule a locksmith if you've any non emergency type of work that is commercial or residential.
Jessica as her direct tech Alex, cleared up the earlier issues which was caused by a tech and dispatchers who weren't communicative.

Super happy with the pricing and the answer time.
I needed to reschedule and they were easy and very flexible to work with. Make certain that the person that is doing the setup gives you exactly the same price you got over the phone. My husband needed to remind him LOL

I would recommend and would use them again!
A lock at my home collapsed, I called Affordable Locksmiths that night and was assisted by a dispatcher, then we were called by our locksmith Alex just a couple of minutes following the dispatcher.
Alex came right on time, professional, knew exactly what we needed and had the components available. It functioned perfectly and we ended up doing a replacement with a digital lock for a price that is reasonable, good quality work.

They claim is affordable but is not. They send me a rude individual, who over charge me, left my carpet didn't complete his work and stained. When I called to inquire to complete the work, instead of apologizing, he kept giving excuses to me and at the end he just yell at me. They don't even have a manager, because the guy who told me at first that he had been the dispatcher, later told me that he was the manager, and he didn't resolved the problem, I'm still waiting.
I would advise calling two areas before settling.

Great professional and job. Very timely as well. A secret was had by my Ford Escape and we were done in under and hour, after ensuring that all of the legalities were in order for creating me a vehicle key. Much more affordable and simpler than going to the dealership.

They answered very quickly and that I agreed to cover the 15 dollar charge to have a guy come look in the bedroom door that was locked. When another guy got here, he stated it would be $120 dollars more to make use of a crowbar that was fancy. I obtained my own crowbar in the garage, paid the 15 to him and cared for it .

My deadbolt lock broke and I had no way to enter my flat on a Saturday morning. They got me back into my place and came out within half an hour and then replaced with the lock. These men are great and the price was what I expected being also the issue and a Saturday at hand.

I filed an online quote also you are given the option to send other vendors, which I did to it by Yelp. The garage door knob had dropped and we could not get in to our garage in the home and vice versa. I'd purchased a door knob and deadbolt for the locksmith to install. I asked Ashley if it had been 35/hour and she said yes, that has been the price that was hourly, but that it might go up based on how long it took to fix/install.
I analyzed the quotes that I purchased and Affordable Locksmiths came in as among the cheapest, had recent reviews and had a Yelp deal, which I purchased for$15 for a coupon. So I advised them to do the fix they might also come out. I was called by the locksmith and told me that he'd arrive between 1:30pm - 2:30pm, he did. This is an updated review of which the remarks were deleted by me because the vendor contacted me to rectify the problems that occurred, and it is a HUGE positive in my book. We discussed my concerns and consequently, they offered me a partial refund. The job has been completed fast and the door deadbolt and knob works great. Thanks Affordable Locksmiths!

2- needed to break safe- later requesting They would have to break the lock to get in and did that over about 15 minutes
Disadvantages:
Current car for a car purchase. I put the offer on yelp, and this was who I obtained.
Experts:
I'd requested for a range- and they wouldn't give me one on the phonebut they also did not give the show-up fee that was foundation - perhaps not feeling good about that. Upon arriving on site, initially I had been told something above $350, and then'fell' to $250. I think that the technician realized I needed the papers in the safe. I had been anticipating the 100s. After completing the transaction, he offered me 50% off next service.... Um so that it could be the price?!? that is normal
1- replied quickly
Not impressed. While they had been responsive, they needed to break the safe- which they did do but I'll try another locksmith.

2. Can you come asap? -yes
The price was stated upfront and he was very agreeable to use. Offering you Affordable Locksmiths for its service that is efficient, quick, and affordable!
4. How much could it cost? - depends on the support, won't know until a locksmith receives there
Ran and I communicated on the time for the locksmith to come today via yelp. In 9:15am he called to let me know a locksmith will be on his way. When he left the locksmith called me. He called back at 950 to tell me he will be a couple of minutes late due to traffic which was totally fine because he conveyed that with me upfront (really appreciated that). Anyways the locksmith showed up when he said he would and that he altered our lock and provided us with two keys all for $145 (which includes the $15 show up charge ).
1. Are you currently bonded/insured? -yes
The lock of our condo broke for some reason. The lock would not retract all the way around 10pm on a Friday night. I looked for a locksmith on yelp, as my bf tried to obtain a cure for the problem. Thank you). Ran provided to have someone available right away but we picked for the morning because we were just tired from a long week. He answered All my queries:
3. What is the show up fee? -$15 (notice that this is just to get somebody there, many places charge $30-65)

Alex was 100% professional, educated and helped us out with our house. The ones that are this company provides. We bought an older house and Alex managed to receive our house locks up to standards. I would strongly recommend going with this team when choosing your next locksmith.

Full marks for support. Elian was prompt and friendly from his services. He came and assisted me in this chilly weather.
You can expect these guys to offer you a fantastic service at an affordable price.
