"Couldn't access my mail and the landlord wouldn't fix it. I called Ray and explained the situation and he was over within the hour. Drilled through the lock, replaced it with a new core, gave me the keys, and was on his way. Excellent experience"

"I called Ray when I was locked out and he asked me to send the pictures of the door and lock and promised to arrive in 20mins. He arrived in ~15mins and opened door in 5mins without any damages. The price is fair and I would highly recommend him!"
"We called Ray late at night when we locked ourselves out of our apartment and he left the house job he was working on and said he will be there in 10 minutes which he was. He was efficient and careful and did not do any damage to the door or the locks. Would recommend"
"Nice guy, excellent service, reasonable rates. Ray replaced my backdoor lock."
"I was locked out of my apartment at 1:30PM today and contacted the management company of my building. The company had a key but offered to call a locksmith because it would be less expensive. City locksmith quoted them 125-150 depending on how complicated the door was to open. The management company explained it was an emergency as it was a hot day and I was locked outside with a puppy. Ray estimated his time incorrectly twice then showed up at 5PM. He opened my door in less than 60 seconds and charged me $175. When I asked why the price was so high, he replied that I needed to pay for the traffic he was in. In addition to the tardiness, poor communication and overcharge, he did NOT take precautions for COVID as advertised on this website. There was no disinfectant used on my door nor his tools. In addition, he walked into my apartment, set his tools on my kitchen table and sat in a chair without asking for permission. I expressed my disappointment with his services again after he left and mentioned I would write a poor review. He knocked 25 bucks off. Do not recommend - stay away. Should have gone with my management company. This was a nightmare!"
"helped me open a tenant's bedroom door after the door knob broke. great service."
"Ray (the locksmith) immediately answered our call when we were locked out. He arrived quickly (within minutes) and opened the door without causing any damage. We couldn’t be happier with the service."
"I called Ray to re-key two doors. He opened my front door and immediately tightened the door hardware. He realigned my other door’s hinges and strike plate so now my door locks without the extra slam. He recognized a problem and fixed it. Ray was a true professional."
"I had an urgent job, and I called City Locksmith. Ray immediately called me back and asked information about my lock, type, how it locked...etc. He requested I text him a few photos of the door so he could get a better idea of what we were working with. In short, Ray walked me through fixing the lock on my own, free of charge. He's clearly very knowledgeable and I will certainly be using City Locksmith again next time I run into trouble. Highly recommend!"
"Excellent service once again. Would highly recommend. Today came well protected with masks and gloves."
"Ray answered the phone after 10PM when I called him and was able to be at my house within 20 minutes. He saved me a major headache that evening and I am grateful for his professionalism and dependability. Thank you!"
"Locksmith was informative. Locks that were installed work great. Highly recommend."
"I was locked out of my apt this morning and called Ray from coty locksmith. He told me it would be 15-20 min and arrived at my door. He got me in without any damage to my door in no time at all. I would highly recommend!"
"Great service (especially during the pandemic!). Ray came within 20 min of me reaching out to him. He got me in to our condo, replaced the doorknob and lock, and realigned the door as well. Highly recommend."
"Ray was extremely prompt and professional. He gave an expert opinion to move to something more high quality in a way that was not pressuring but clearly reflective of his professional experience. Would highly recommend"
