The management company for a condo complex referred me here to get extra keys for a property I own. I walked in and a man named "Jerry" gave me a hostile reception the moment I walked in (not uncommon, according to other reviews here), and refused to make a key for me because he said he "didn't know me personally," despite calling the management office that contracted with them and Jerry personally speaking with the office manager. He doesn't trust 20th century technology commonly accepted by the legal system (email or fax) for verification only face to face verification of ownership by people he personally knows. If there is any alternative to this place, be wise and avoid it all costs.
We were down to one key for our front door bolt lock. Wanting extras, We had 2 keys made at Loews which didn't fit, returned and tried again.The second try didn't work. Fortunately we stepped into One Minute Key where the proprietor made another set. These didn't fit either but he worked with us to solve the problem. Since our dead bolt was old and out of alignment, he needed to custom the new keys to fit. Hurrah...success...new keys work perfectly and the lone old key doesn't stick. And he didn't charge us.

This local shop has been in business for years. It offers some of the most professional, knowledgeable, and honest service around!! They have a friendly, helpful, customer oriented attitude that is hard to find in today's corporate world. I would very highly recommend this shop for all your locksmith needs!

Walked into store and was not acknowledged by the locksmith behind the counter. A second locksmith walked behind the counter, looked at me, and again, did not acknowledge my presence. A waited for about 5-10 minutes, and I finally walked out. Never was a word exchanged. I still need some keys made, but I will Not go back there. That was my second unhappy experience at this shop.
