Sherlock's Locksmith

Sherlock's Locksmith works as a locksmith outfit based in Pittsburgh, PA. They handle all the standard locksmith tasks around the city including residential locksmith calls for homes, commercial locksmith work at businesses, automotive locksmith jobs on vehicles, key fob programming, lock replacement, and emergency service when things lock up without warning. Pittsburgh weather and older buildings keep these crews busy with stuck doors, lost keys, and fobs that stop responding after a few seasons. Homeowners and shop owners alike call them when they need someone who shows up ready with the right tools and knows the local streets well enough to arrive fast.

Tom handles most of the calls and shows up ready to cut new car keys on the spot, program replacement fobs in minutes, and pull off jammed locks without extra damage. One customer had him replace car keys twice and watched him finish the cut and program job quick enough to drive off the same afternoon at a fair price. Another time he reached a house within an hour, checked the fob issue thoroughly, and swapped it out the same day. A locker lock that would not open got removed the same hour he was called, and he stayed focused until the job sat right. They also drive out for house visits to program fobs and even troubleshoot phone issues later if something acts up from user error.

Customers keep coming back because response times stay short, usually under an hour, the work gets done right the first time without shortcuts, and prices stay reasonable for the Pittsburgh area. Technicians like Tom come across as polite, patient, and willing to explain what they find before they start. Quality shows in clean finishes on fob swaps and lock removals, while communication stays clear from the first call through the final test. Speed matters on emergency runs and they deliver without dragging things out. DIRT Score 4.76 from 189 reviews on Finds.

“Excellent service! We needed to get a troublesome lock off a locker, and Tom came that very hour to do it. He is calm, efficient, friendly, and utterly focused on the job. Do not hesitate to call Sherlock's Locksmith!”

“Highly recommend. I got a replacement fob for my car. They went to my house and programmed it quickly. Then, a few months later, I had an issue with the fob that was due to user error, but they were still able to troubleshoot over the phone and offered to pay a courtesy visit (which was not necessary in the end).”

“Tom was super nice and quick to respond after we moved into our new house. He didn't recommend anything beyond what was necessary, the price was fair, and he was in and out in no time at all. I will absolutely give him a call again if I need any more work done. Highly recommended.”
