Dial Locksmith Corporation

Saved the day. This was a transparent, straightforward and professional service, with friendliness being the cherry on top. I’m extremely pleased that I used Dial Locksmith because I was nervous of being taken advantage of and frazzled from being locked out of my apartment on an important day. Instead, I found this company based on good reviews and proximity, and Ben really killed it. He showed up promptly and opened the door super fast, you could tell he knew what he was doing. Beforehand, they were really great on the phone with me, which I approached doubly since the other locksmith companies had been gruff and refused to elaborate on anything or answer simple questions I had. He told me it would $ 125 to open the door, and $ 125 (I think) if he had to drill and replace the door had me. It ended up being $ 125, and honestly it was worth every penny to have this be done fast and simple (plus that seems to be the standard rate). I hope I don’t have to call a locksmith again, but I would recommend this company to my friends! Thank you, Ben!

Getting locked out is such a pain but Dial Locksmith was awesome at getting me back in too my apartment. He ended up having to drill through my lock, but was able to install a new lock really quickly. Really nice and understanding. I hope I don’t have to use them again, but if I do I’ll definitely be calling them again!

Last week I arrived to visit my aunt in Upper West Side, problem was that she forgot to leave a key with the doorman. I decided to look for a locksmith online and came across Dial Locksmith. Few minutes after my call, the technician was at my door step. He was able to shim the door open and get me in within 5 minutes. I promised to give him a review for his great service, thank you Very much!

Amazing service, Walked in to make two copies and was out in less than 5 minutes. Very kind man and great prices. Definitely recommend

Not sure why there are so many positive reviews… the prices they charge for drilling a hole through a deadbolt and replacing it are INSANE! $ 400 to drill hole in dead bolt and replace with a new standard deadbolt!
I recently had an issue with my door knob falling off and needed to get into my apartment. It was 7:30 on a weeknight and I didn’t have much options finding a place that was still open. I’ll give them credit for promptness and friendliness but that’s where it stops.
The guy came and assessed the door realizing that he would have to drill through deadbolt — he quotes me price $ 179. Seemed expensive but I just wanted to get in so I gave him go ahead. What he didn’t tell me that it would be extra for a new lock until AFTER the deadbolt was ruined. Then he quotes me for a new «standard» lock that would cost $ 160. I basically had no choice but to agree otherwise I would have no lock on my door. When all was said and done it cost me nearly $ 400 just to drill through lock and have it replaced with a standard deadbolt that costs maybe $ 30 at hardware store.
By this time I was not happy about price and knew I was getting ripped off big time so today I did some investigation and called around to a few other places to get a quote and they told me $ 150 — $ 200.
BE ADVISED AND CALL SOMEONE ELSE IF YOU ARE LOCKED OUT OF APARTMENT!!!

Some other locksmith tried to rip me off, but they were honest and upfront about the cost. He got there quickly, was pleasant and professional, and did the job in about 5 seconds.
Top notch service.

They may have a page of «customer service» mantras displayed on their counter, but that’s where it ends…
Just came home with two copies, and neither work.
Have to go back out in the rain and get them re-​done.
One was an expensive MultiLock, the other a simpler door key.
If you are a locksmith this should be Page one /​Chapter One info.
Instead, this is epic bulshit.

I needed to have a few keys cut for my university dorms, no one was able to make them beside Ely from dial. He was fast, efficient and charged me a really good price. I was really suprises from the big verity of stuff that they have at their store, cool place!

Dial locksmith Is one of a kind. The owner Ely is super nice and friendly .
I walked in too have 3 keys copied, and Ely did then in no time, and charged me only 6 $
The keys work great btw.
Thanks for the help

What can I say that haven’t said yet, they are friendly, reliable and professional.
I own a brownstone not to far from their shop, and I’ve used them several times over a 10 year period. Ely is very honest and responsive, I can blindly trust him with l of my work.

I have used Dial and recommended them over the years to grateful neighbors in all kinds of situations. I have never had anything but AMAZING service and reasonable quotes. These guys know what they’re talking about and don’t gouge you. Leon, the owner, is a patient, honest, kind man.

Tony was great. Had 2 deadbolts rekeyed. Took him about 30 min to do the work after he provided an accurate estimate of cost.

Nobody likes buying a new lock. It’s a necessity, but you have to do it. That was on my mind when I called Dial Locksmith yesterday. This morning Leon came over and installed our new deadbolt. I can’t be happier. Initially I was just going to get the jimmy-​proof tumbler deadbolt, but for the extra money got the lockset with high security cylinder by Mult-​T Lock. He also fixed our non-​working second door lock, which had been jammed closed for more than 2 years. He got that working perfectly, so now we have 2 locks. All-​in for the service call ($ 15) and installing the high-​security lock ($ 249) we are pretty happy. Leon was really nice and there was no monkey shines. He’s local, and I’ll go to him again for keys.

My key broke off in the lock, but they were able to send over a guy post-​haste! Instead of drilling the lock, Tony managed to extract the broken piece of key stuck in there and pick the lock, and the price was very reasonable for the work and effort he put in, and for how fast he worked. Also very friendly! Just be sure to have some cash on hand for at least part of the payment.
