These guys are phenomenal! We got home absolutely exhausted after being at a dance competition for 72 straight hours, only to find ourselves locked out of the house. AND it was 10:30pm! He said he would be at our house asap and was here sooner than we even expected. He had us rekeyed and back in our home in minutes. We HIGHLY recommend them! Their service is amazing, and they truly go above and beyond for their customers. We cannot say enough great things about them. read more

Came out on a holiday weekend after a home breakin and provided fast, efficient, and friendly service.

Always does a great job very responsive. Definitely knows his stuff about locks. Very nice as well.

I ran across Jack Iezaru's Card and about 13 years ago my wife and I were traveling to Ripon, CA to sell Kettle Corn at an outside event. Unfortunately in the dark of night our H1 Hummer that we were towing our trailer with broke down and thank you Lord we were able to get ahold of Jack. He was literally a God send and we will ALWAYS remember how Jack literally treated us like we were family and he went over and beyond what anyone would expect to help us get our trailer to Ripon, he even helped us unload our supplies and made sure our Hummer got towed to Sacramento. Jack you will forever be remembered for how Jesus commands us to love and treat others... even strangers. I pray for so many blessings for you and your family and your life. I'm glad I came across your business card after all these years. God Bless you. read more

Jack is a really nice guy,he's very reliable person I called he he came right away,I really recommended him,so if you guys got lock out from your house just call A-1 Keyway Lock shop. read more

Highly recommend A-1 because of the value of his work.Price was perfect and very honest man.Thank you for great service.

I hired Jack to open up a lock for my manteca home and on first day he showed up promptly. First he told me he can't unlock the lock and he has to leave for another job immediately. After i sent him the lock keys( i'm 600 miles away), he did open the door" by a maneuver". Then, somehow, the second day, the locks are locked again by my Airbnb guests. I asked him to open the lock again, and he wants to change all three locks without even notifying me that. He said let me do it, let me finish the job. I asked, " what are u doing? why do we need to change 3 locks?" He said, " you need to do it". I said, " it's my house, i decide how many locks i need to change". Then, he spoke his opinion in front my guests and then my guests are scared of the "non safe" 2 unchanged locks. After hearing what Jack said, mynguests want to cancel their reservation. That's a $2000 reservation. I am a california licensed realtor, who is soon to be a broker. I knew the requirements more than Jack. The 2 locks are not needed to change since the keys were never given to any guests. And it's no need to change a non disclosed locks. Overall, I think Jack is very good at locks, but his attitude and work ethics are terrible. He talks too much and has very little patience. He also lies about stuff to get unnecessary job done to get paid more. He also refused to provide an invoice after his job done. It's unfortunate to bump a rude and aggressive locksmith like him. read more

Jack is great! Always show up on time and whenever i need help. I have know him fro few years, does a great job

Jack is the BEST!!Had keys locked in our 06 Scion and after AAA had someone come out and spend an hour without success,Jack came out and had the door open in just a few minutes!Great price!Thanks again,Jack read more

We needed a couple extra keys to a padlock we planned to use. After calling around and checking the kyosks around town to find out that finding a real locksmith is not as easy as it once was. I called A-1 Keyway Lock Shop, located very close to my home, and talked to the owner Jack. He said he was just about to leave, most of his service is mobile, but he offered to wait for me if I could get there soon. I jumped in the car and hit every red light possible and even though I was later than promised or planned he waited for me and made my two keys for a very reasonable price. It is so much nicer to deal with people face to face. I am so tired of using machines for everything and refuse if there is another option. What a nice person to wait for just two keys!!! read more

Great little shop to get your cores redone . I had a Schlage electronic lock but lost the key. He was able to recore and get it back to me with in 20 minutes read more

Hangs up on customer and does not listen. I called earlier to get a replacement key, and a gentleman picked up and said hello and I asked if this is key replacement services and he proceeded to hang up on me. Would not recommend to any friends or customers. Terrible customer service read more

Charged 4.50 for a key that normally runs 2.00. I left and am now going to walmart for the rest of the keys I need. I believe Walmart keys are around a 1.50 each. I bought five more keys from walmart the other day and I am going back next week to get more duplicates for several other buildings next week. it is idiots like A-1 who end up losing their business because of mismanagement. read more

Five stars to A-1! No other lock smith returned my call! I called he came in 10 minutes, fast service, kind, reasonable rates. My door was opened in a few seconds! As far as key price goes... I support his small business verses Walmart and not have to deal with all the creeps who hang out there! Support your local businesses... ! Especially this one! read more

Fast & friendly, my key was in half and he was still able to make me a new one that worked perfectly.

I have to write a review because of the excellent service that I received was far greater than I ever expected. First, he opened his shop about 45 minutes early. I failed to realize the shop hours, he was no bothered one bit. Second, he did the job in half an hour . The same job that I was quoted a 3 day wait, and 110. He did it for 30. Jack is also a professional at heart. After decades of locksmith work, he still researches a job for the best was to do it. Very respectable. The bottom line is, he really does a professional job. As advertised. Walmart can make a key cheaper, but if you have a problem with it.... You have Problem. A 1 takes care of their customers, and they stand by their work. Lastly, he is one of 2 shops in the area that can make a motorcycle key from scratch! Main Street exit from 120, down about a mile on the right. read more

Bad actitud on this guy :( I contact him trough Yelp, but his actitud is not good, plus too expensive, ill get what I need from eBay read more

Google shows him as being out of business, not true. He is now mobile. I have used his service for decades and always been very happy with him. --mike read more

Called this place to ask about getting locks re-keyed. The guy that answered the phone was rude. The prices were okay, but I'd rather pay more some place that was friendly. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Locked out my house around 6 at night on a Sunday and called a few locksmiths but A-1 was the only who answered. No one else even bothered to call back. He charged me a good rate, took him about ten minutes to come and less than 5 minutes to get into the door. I'm a very happy customer. If I ever get locked out again(knocks on wood) I will be calling A-1 again for sure. Quick and cheap! Thank you again! read more

I can not say enough good things about Jack and his excellent service. Top notch 10 stars in my book

Fast service with honest people to can depend on. Haven't let me down yet. I been there a few times for a few odd keys I needed made and they got the job done every time. read more

Great customer service and amazing signs and posters. They didn't have a key shape I needed but not their fault. The codes on the keys matched. I'll be back and appreciate the help making the others. read more

WOW! It is hard to come by an honest person who isn't thinking about the "almighty dollar." Jack goes above and beyond his call of duty. Punctual, friendly, resourceful, and decent in price. He is my go to guy for now on and has my loyalty. I will never waste my time or money searching for another locksmith who may disappoint. Thank you Jack! read more

This is what great service looks like. Was locked out at 7pm and Jack was here in about 10 minutes. He was professional and easily solved my problem within minutes. On top of that he charged me $25 less than the first spot I called (who was also rude over the phone). 5 stars all the way, definitely a business I would recommend to anyone with key or lock issues. Thanks once again my man. read more

The guy was honest and reputable. Explained what was wrong with my truck and how he would have to fix it. Fixed it for pennies! I would take all my business to him! read more

Thank you Jack for your services. I was locked out of our home and Jack came to the rescue. He's very experienced and has been doing this for a long time! Highly recommend him! read more

Jack totally saved the day for us when i locked the car keys in the trunk of our rental car. We were headed to Yosemite and didn't want to miss our reservation for the night in the park. Jack had the car open quickly but the keys were in the trunk and the alarm disabled the electronic trunk release. The car also lacked fold down rear seats so a replacement key was the only solution. Within minutes Jack had a buddy with the necessary key cutting machine on the way and called another friend at the dealer to get the proper code to cut the key. The dealer didn't have the correct key blank but his friend miraculously had one blank that fit the car. He cut the new key, opened the trunk, and we were on our way! We were back on the road in less than 2 hours. Without Jack's help chances are we would have spent the night in Manteca instead of Yosemite. I highly recommend him! read more

Thank you Jack for a job well done. It was a pleasure meeting such a professional locksmith. Keep up the great work. I'm feeling much more confident in my home security and will not ever consider using any other company. read more

Jack the owner is a great person i had him made two trucks keys for me . I told him i want two sets he didn't even charged me for the extra set His prices are very fair . I waited in my car outside in 20 minutes the keys were ready thats what i call a great service. I would highly recommend A-1 keyway lock shop. read more

Jack is one of the most honorable people I know. Always willing to to what needs to be done. Jacks favorite phrase is "I'll take care of it". Jack works until the work is DONE. He follows no clock, and will drive all night to help someone who needs him. We met Jack when we moved here to Manteca at JM Equipment Co. Jack is our only locksmith, and will be our only locksmith for years to come. read more

Has had my motorcycles starter for over 3 weeks now, originally told me it would take an hour or so to make a new key. Told me if it took longer he would call and inform me, never called. Every time I call it goes straight to answering machine, and his shop has been conveniently closing at 4:30, so I can't make it there after work. Horrible business practice and a huge waste of my time and energy. Having to take a day off work just to go get my property back, take your business elsewhere. read more

If you need any auto or any type of keys copied give him a call. I gave it a five star because it's the only shop in town. I gave him a call and he met me at the time he said he'd be there. I wanted to get double keys made because I thought mine had a hairline crack. He looked at it in the light and in a magnifying glass and saw it was just a mark, he saved me a few bucks. Will definitely go back in the future. read more
