Manny came out and was able to unlock my car in 5 minutes! Super nice and easy work with! He was in and out no damages!

I appreciate save my night so I can sleep home again. John is very efficient quick response and did wonderful job, thanks a lot come to lake view East! It's impressive experience

Steve was amazing! I called this company at 7am and they arrived in 10 mins! Very Professional and got me in my door 10 mins later! Very happy! I could not recommend anyone more highly. Extremely satisfied with the lockout service. 5 of 5 stars. These guys are the absolute best in Chicago.

I called these guys when I lost my keys. It was a Friday night at almost 11 pm and it was 10 degrees outside. Their locksmith, Steve, was here within 30 minutes and got me into my house. He was friendly, efficient and professional. These guys were very helpful. I will call then again in a heartbeat.but hopefully I won't get locked out again!

The olllll midnight lock-out: a tale as old as time. Steve showed up quickly, was super friendly, and I was back in my house in record time--and my husband was in the dog house for forgetting the keys in the first place.

I made a boneheaded mistake and locked the keys to my car inside of it. I did a quick search and found these guys. I called at 11:43pm and by 12:09 I was in my car. I hope to never have to use them again but if I do I would and I highly recommend them. Absolutely no damage to the car and the tech that was dispatched was totally professional, courteous and reassuring that he would get inside the car. Don't hesitate to use them if you need to get in your car.

If you live alone and committed the sin of leaving your keys in your apartment, then you know what I am about to confess.these guys were here to help fast and got me back inside quickly! When I noticed I left my keys in my apartment I was already too far to return. Later that night, I called 24:7 lighting to arrange an appointment to meet me at my place to help out. They actually beat me home! Once arrived, it was only another 5 mins before I was inside! Thanks again 24/7 lighting!

Stellar job. Stephen rescued me when I locked myself out of my condo. He arrived in 15minutes and replaced my new lock rekeying it so I could use my existing keys. And 6months later when I had an issue with the lock, he came back and serviced it and it works like new again. Thank you!

Steve was amazing. I had been sitting outside for over 2 hours waiting for my maintenance person to show up. Needless to say, they didn't. Steve came within 20 mins and quickly opened my door allowing me to continue with my Sunday plans. I will definitely be utilizing there service again.

Steve gave prompt service with thorough explanation and options available and delivered in an expedient fashion

Fantastic service, but the absolute joy was their serviceman. He was so professional and did a great job explaining the situation and how to solve it. We were able to get in our place in a jiffy and had our problem solved quickly. Absolutely recommended.

Fast and professional! Got locked outside with my baby and Steve got here in no time! Worked very fast and was in my house in no time. Made me feel at ease and completely safe throughout the process. Thanks Steve!

Today I made a genius move and locked myself out of my own apartment. After seeing how highly rated this company is, I decided to give them a shot and am so glad I did. I was shocked at how prompt Steve (the technician) was as he arrived in no more than 30 minutes. The whole process only took about 10 minutes. Steve was extremely kind and professional and even took the time walk me through what he was doing, which was pretty interesting.

If ever you find yourself in a bind, call these guys -- don't even question it! I can confirm that all the positive reviews I sifted through accurately mirror the service I received today. Thanks again Steve!

Got locked out of car moving my girlfriend out of her apt; locksmith arrived within thirty minutes. We had time to clean apt and he showed up just as we were ready to go. Service was fast and courteous. We were able to get into car within ten minutes of his arriva and on our way to her new apt - what could have been a huge hassle was made just a blimp thanks to fast and friendly service. Would use again.

Despite my best efforts to NOT leave my keys at home (no really, they're attached to a bright green lanyard and an obnoxiously oversized key chain), I naturally managed to do so while neither of my roommates were in town. After cursing myself and unsuccessfully attempting to pick my front door lock with a bobby pin for 15 minutes in the pitch black dark, I gave up and consulted Yelp and found 24/7 Lightening Locksmith. John picked up after a few rings and told me he'd be at my apartment in 20 minutes, which was reasonable, but he actually ended up arriving in about 10, which was a huge relief since living as though waiting on my stoop in basically pitch black darkness at ~2:30AM is a mess than pleasant experience.

He got me into my apartment before 3AM, successfully unlocking all *3* of the doors needed to ensure I didn't spend the next few days living on my front porch. I noticed a lot of people complaining about price on here, but frankly for being able to get inside of my home when I had no way of getting in, I definitely think the value is worth it.

24/7 lightning locksmith came through for my restaurant I was out of the country and the general manager misplaced the keys. The locksmith came out within the hour and re-keyed the locks and gave us 6 key copies. The entire staff now has keys and the locks work better than before.

Great service! Called last minute to have the locks at our condo changed and he was able to accommodate same day. Gave me a couple lock, price point, and payment options so I could choose what worked best for us. He waited while we tested all keys before charging. Did a great job, very happy.
