We would 100% recommend them to anyone needing locksmith services!”

“After waiting three months for Lubbock Lock & Key to try and complete a change of locks on my filing cabinets. I called Deckelman's Locksmiths and they immediately put me on the schedule and had a locksmith out within the week. The technician was fast and efficient changing out 10 locksets within an hour! I was definitely impressed! All locks are working and in good shape. Customer service was great and I will continue to use Dekelman's for all of our locksmith needs. If you want fast and quick service call Deckelman's and they have really great prices!”

“Fantastic speedy service!! I had a situation where I needed locks changed quickly. Jimmy was able to come out the same day. Very polite, professional, and courteous service. I’ll be using and referring Deckelman’s moving forward!”

“Fast, friendly, and affordable! Needed a blank key made for my car. When he told me the price compared to the other competitors, I was there real quick! 🚗🔑💰 #fastservice #greatprices #happycustomer”

“Phenomenally knowledgeable. Had an Indian Scout in Alabama that I lost the keys to. He was able to talk me through everything I needed and was willing to work with me from a distance to me a new set of keys so I didn’t have to replace the entire ignition switch and gas cap. I can not recommend them highly them enough”

“Incredible experience. Any time I go to a locksmith or a mechanic I feel like I am at the mercy of their word because I don't know enough to second guess their opinion and recommendations. Jimmy is an honest man that will address your problems without trying to sell you anything you don't need. I would highly recommend this business for any of your lock needs.”

“This Locksmith was Fast and Friendly and have been in Business over 40 years! I needed a lock changed and Jay the Awesome Lady on the Phone set it up and Jimmy came out to my Business,I wasn't even there and they got me Done! Great Customer Service!”

“I called to ask availability of someone to unlock my car. The lady that answered the phone was very rude and treated me like an actual child. She also hung up on me while I was still talking to her. I would recommend literally anyone else because these people do not have the time of day for you or anyone else.”

“Jimmy helped me when I was in a jam...he did not carry this old fashioned key but was able to take a more modern key and reshape it to work. I tried the key today on all 26 of my locks and the key worked like magic! Truly, I consider the work he was able to do, to make the key fit these old locks, to be a work of the Master. I cannot be more grateful.”

“They do keys well. Had ordered a keyless remote n paid the fee for programming. It wasn't done when ready and they didn't know how to program it. Only to find out that it was the wrong controller. Toke longer then they said for it to.come in and never received a call when it came. Had to keep calling n going there before going thru a this. They still never figured out the programing so sad. Only good for keys.”

“I needed some more hard to find keys made and they had the right blanks and made my keys on less than 5 minutes. Great locally owned small business. I will use them again, when the need arises.”

“Probably the best locksmith in town. It's an art and they know what they are doing.”

“Very attentive. Limited availability on Tuesday/Thursday due to being short handed bit the best prices I've found on key cutting!! Will definitely be going back!”

“I am also a locksmith and I use Deckelman's for some of the hard to find items/knowledge down to general keys copies. Jimmy keeps people coming back with his great service.”

“Lost the keys to my boat, took them the starter core and a storage box lock core and they made new keys, with spares, of each. Very friendly and prompt customer service.”

“Great service! Came to our place of business same day, replaced 4 locks with ease and was in and out. Thank you!”

“Very quick duplication of a key. A little hard to get to it as it is corner of 2 busy streets and minimal parking available. Great service”

“Fast Friendly Service. Jimmy was a pleasure to meet. In and out quickly and inexpensive.”
