Robert’s Key Service

These guys are the BEST, and always have been! My family has been using them for decades. No one else in town is more reliable.

Roberts is the best, always knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I would go to Roberts with a cup of coffee just to converse, always great discussions, the owner and staff are extremely pleasant. The owner has even manage to make me a copy of the key to my old Suzuki motorcycle which no one else was able to make. So; go get some keys made, bring coffee.

We’ve used Robert’s several times in the past 8 years to replace locks, re-​key existing locks, and recommend lock-​related security improvements. They have been terrific every time: knowledgable, reliable, timely, and reasonably priced. They don’t up-​sell or push products that aren’t needed.

I have to make a set of spare keys for my apartment and I chose to go from Homewood to this location via public transportation. The shop was conveniently located. The staff was kind and professional. It took them less than three minutes to complete my request and the price was really worth it. I will remember this place and it would be my top choice for any key and lock related services!

These guys are the best. They have helped me out so many times with my business needs. Very knowledgable, and very professional, and so easy to do business with. Strongly recommend for all your lock and key needs. Easy parking on Read St, and love the aroma from next door.

I went here to have keys cut after having trouble at a chain store; the gentleman at the counter cut three copies for me in about 90 seconds (even put them on a ring for me) and they worked perfectly. The price was better than the chain store was, too! This is my new go-​to place for key services.

I had problems with the Waverly ACE hardware store two times prior to visiting Robert’s because the idiot who copied my key couldn’t understand that one of the «shoulders» of the key was actually part of the blade that went into the keyhole so I ended up with keys shorter than the original that don’t work.
Went here this morning to get the same key copied. Without me having to say much, the gentleman who helped me out knew exactly what I needed and made a perfect copy of my key in less than a minute.
I will definitely be coming back here if I need more keys copied and definitely not going back to ACE!

Excellent and quick service! I had to have a key made and was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The two gentleman behind the counter were also very nice. I will definitely return if I ever need more keys made!

I needed the locks changed in a house I just bought in Baltimore. I called Robert’s to ask how much they would charge to come take care of it for me ($ 95 for the first half hour, plus $ 12 per lock). That seemed like a lot to me, but it’s actually right around the going rate for a locksmith in the city. Without me asking, the guy on the phone who was super friendly, advised me that it would be really easy for me to take the locks out myself and bring them in, and then it would just be $ 12. He told me how to do it (remove a few screws), and so I decided to try. As it turns out, it was very easy. I drove to their shop with five locks, and they had them all changed out with a new set of keys in about a half hour. Total cost — $ 50. I bet anywhere else would have charged more, and I doubt they would’ve been as friendly. Some of these locks were really old, and they knew exactly how to deal with them. Parking on Read St is super easy too.

Service is usually friendly and quick. These guys know what they are doing. For those who are allergic to smoke, beware that they are adjecent to a Tabacco store and sometimes smell and fumes migrate into this shop. I do not mind the smell of a good cigar, but some other people might.

I love these guys. I have a cleaning company and need to copy like a million keys at a time, and this is the only place that always gives me good cuts. They usually do extra things like put rings on the keys too. I can’t believe I’m writing a review for a key place but I absolutely will drive out of my way to go here because they’re just way better.
