Wilensky Locks & Hardware

Old timey small hardware store. Run by same guy for as long as I can remember. Great service

Successfully changed the locks on my parents home and made them more secure. I'm a contractor who installed a new quarter sawn white oak front door with custom double pane side lights and a Schlage smart lock and put an Amazon deadbolt on the back. Barry was able to make the keys match and be re-keyed from factory to custom. He is the best lock smith I know! -CMLoug

Get your keys made there both of those guys are fantastic, ANYTHING ANYTHING you need hardware they got guarantee.

Walking in here may me really thankful to see that these wonder small stores still exist. Amazing care and I felt at home and a since of American Nostalgia. The city needs to support and make it easy for these business to exist.

Always friendly and very patient. Highly recommended for sure. I learn something new every time.

Great place for finding things you wouldn't find in Home Depot or Lowe's those little things little gadgets you can't find anywhere else. Basically find them here price might be on the high side but not too bad specially if you can't find it anywhere else

The owner was great! I needed a special key made for work and they were the only one in the area that could copy. He was very friendly and helpful

I went here to get copies made of a padlock key. They were very fast, friendly, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Great service and everything you need is there. Amazing. Old school hardware store.

They were able to make copies of those tiny stupid office keys so I am forever indebted. I parked on Washington just past 8th

Wilensky's carries a surprisingly wide variety of products despite having a very small store. I don't have a car so it's a lot easier to stop by Wilensky's to pick up random things I need to do DIY repairs around the house. I don't think I've had one situation where they didn't have something I needed! If you live in the neighborhood, I highly recommend giving them a call to see if they have what you need instead of just going to Home Depot or Lowe's by default.

Easy breezy.even lubed our locks. Showed up on time; friendly professional service. :

Great community store. Surprisingly expansive selection, and the staff is committed to personalized advice on whatever issue brings you into the store.

Suddenly, our front door locks stopped working. Especially concerning anytime, but during the time of Covid-19, the thought of lock issues & a stranger coming into our home created extra anxiety. Barry asked questions over the phone, diagnosed the problem & arrived with all the supplies needed to fix the issue. He followed CDC guidelines, wore full PPE & was careful to maintain proper social distance. He's not only #thelockwizard but also a #realmensch.

South Philly's local Click and Clack except hardware not cars. Great advice. Kind customer service, and they'll take good care of your pup if you have one with you. My dog often wants to stop in just to say hi - that's how sweet the owner is with him.

Had a key break in my door so I brought the door knob here and they fixed it right up and the price was right. I looked up locksmiths on Yelp and found them, the bar was set high and they delivered!

I carried in an item which had been locked for years and Barry took care of it without breaking a sweat. Of course, parking is tough near Wilensky, but it's not there fault. They've been at that location since 1917, before parking was an issue.

I'm SO happy with my experience with Wilensky. I live in a condo and have been keyless for my HVAC closet for 3yrs. I always felt so bad when I had to have someone come unlock it. They arrived to my place as they said they would and they were so nice! New keys were made and synced with the condo master key as well.

Great customer service and wide selection of hardware. I was looking for a new set of locks for my house, and the guy behind the register was extremely helpful. He directed me to what I needed, and he didn't seem to mind answering all my questions. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to fixing things, but I feel like I can come here and get all my questions answered.

I blame these guys for my bloated tool collection, because there are only so many keys I need copied, but whenever I pass by, I just HAVE to go in to shoot the breeze with the owner and/or employees. The relevant: they somehow manage to have every single thing I've ever needed, from specialty sizes of sanding belts, electrical supplies, crazy novelty keys, extra-extra-long drill bit collars. The irrelevant: between the three guys, you will always have a great conversation about music, travel, drugs, sports, history, or politics waiting for you. A real gem!

Old-school at it's finest. Barry rekeyed the locks on a 1910 era drawer unit that left two other locksmiths shaking their heads. Also a very well stocked hardware store.

I've been going to Wilensky's for the 27 years I've lived in Bella Vista. I've never gotten a key copied by them that didn't work, they've always got what I need (I don't know how this is possible in such a small space), and we always have great conversations! It's a pleasure to go to an independent hardware store where they know how to do the projects you're working on and they don't charge a fortune! A gem.

Very nice people, but the garage key they copied for me didn't work/fit into the cylinder. While they did say they would alter the key for me if I brought it back, I had the key made elsewhere at a closer location. I guess it's just somewhat bothersome that the two gentleman were guaranteeing me the key would work, their quality was the best, they've been in the business for years, etc.

For a $2 key, it would have cost me more in gas to return and have the key altered. I just wish it would have worked the first time like they said it would. Oh well, not the end of the world.

Great fan. I locked myself out of my car and the were there PDQ!

Fast and efficient! Wilenksy made a ton of money off me last week when my keys were stolen - both house and work. I had no idea that my landlady was using the same people that I was contacting for work (I just Yelp'd the highest rated locksmith in close proximity) and was relieved when my boss knew the company from working at Fleisher. Both my home and work had new locks and keys before 2pm - that's some fast work!

I was also thankful that for both places they made some locks use the same key to cut costs on key-making. My work is in a historic building on Rittenhosue and they managed to make everything look pristine and I was certainly thankful to have new locks at home (as they were getting old and terrible anyway.almost a blessing in disguise that I lost my keys!) I put them down as the primary locksmith for work and have their info saved in case anything happens at my apartment. For their fast and professional efforts with reasonable prices - these are the dudes to call!

I had a very positive experience with Wilensky's. Our front door lock had been getting tougher and tougher to open over the course of a few weeks - to the point where we realized we couldn't leave the house without getting it fixed because we feared we wouldn't be able to get back in! I found Wilensky's on Yelp, gave them a ring in the morning and spoke with a friendly guy who said he would have their locksmith give me a call as soon as he was in.

I received a call maybe an hour later and the locksmith said he could be over around noon, and he was. Turned out, something in our lock had broken and needed to be replaced. This was remedied in about fifteen or twenty minutes and now our lock works perfectly. The total charge was $140 - eighty or ninety of that was the visit alone and the rest was for the fix. Yowza. Hopefully my locks will be good to go for a long time!
