I called and schedule an appt to pick a lock and change 3 locks and he was super on time ! In fact he was 20-30 minutes early and came in and went to work. Reasonable prices!

Paul is amazing and so reasonably priced! He was able to fix issue within a few hours and super fast. Couldn't ask for more! Thank you--

Remove and install of front house door lock. I messaged him on a Friday and he was quick to respond. I asked if he was able to do the job and availability he let me know his availability right away and the fee. His fee is very simple he explained the fee and was also very cost effective, waaaayyyy cheaper than some other ones. He arrived on time and did the job fast and neatly no mess. I highly recommend Paul. Thanks read more

Paul is SO fast I mean really if there was locksmithing in the Olympics he would win!!! This is my second time having him change my locks and he did a great job both times, use him for sure! Thanks Paul read more

Paul you saved the day! I was on the way to take my son to his first day of Kids Day Camp and we were so excited when we left the house we were actually laughing and singing just being silly. I turned to lock and close the door behind us, as I reached into my purse for my keys and I didn't find them, my heart sunk. I realized I didn't have my keys and told my son and the look on my son's face just about broke my heart! I called A Better Locksmith and left a message and also sent a quick text explaining my situation. I called 4 other Locksmiths just in case I didn't hear anything and all 4 were either not available for the day or will be to us in 2 hours. My concern was my son and the fact it was getting hotter by the minute being outside. Paul responded so fast and heard my message and stated he would be here in 30 mins! Not only was he quick to respond, there was constant communication with his ETA that truly helped me give my son a time frame so he wasn't so worried about missing his first day. He had the door unlocked in less than 10 mins and was able to make me an extra key on the spot. My next place was to go get an extra key made however, Paul was able to do that on the spot!! Thank you so much for a job well done and coming to the rescue on such short notice and a super hot day! I highly recommend Paul and will be referring family, friends and clients to you always! read more

This company was great. His price was the best out of 4 estimates. Message response time was wonderful. He remained on standby while we were waiting to close escrow and came out right away when we finally did. If you need a locksmith with a reasonable price, great communication and high professionalism then A Better Locksmith is your guy. His business name is spot on. read more

I called for an estimate to re-key my house and was provided with a competitive price right away. Paul was able to come out the next day (I had no urgency) and did fast, impeccable work. I would use this company again without hesitation. Five star service at a great price. read more

When you give great customer service to someone who you refer to another company, you deserve five stars. Paul was quick to respond to my request to open a locked antique desk. He couldn't help me but directed me to a website that offered antique cabinet keys. I ordered the keys. When none of the keys worked, he directed me to another business that has worked on desks like mine and that he trusts. Paul's customer service has earned my trust. He sets the gold standard for locksmiths in our area. read more

I called about 8 different lock smiths none of which were able to come out. If you google 24 hour locksmith you get a call center in India that wants money upfront before they go out. Ya I wasn't born yesterday and I'm not falling for a scam. I turned to yelp and a few calls later I found Paul Engberson with "A Better Locksmith. " He said he could be out the door in 3 mins. He shot me a text shortly after getting off the phone saying he was 14 mins out. Damn talk about customer service it's already after 8 pm at this point. He verified I was owner of the house prior to giving me entry which I appreciated. No damage was done to my door. He charged me $95 which was a fraction of the cost I received over the phone for someone to just to come take a look. Plus he made me a spare key to hide somewhere on my property so I wouldn't run into this problem again. There's a reason Paul Enberson has 88 five star reviews on Yelp. Soon to be 89. As a local mortgage broker I will definitely be recommending him to my sphere. Highly recommend you add him to your referral network. Thanks Paul you came in clutch tonight. read more

I called Paul on Tues and was able to set appt for Wed (today). He was able to give me a 20 min heads up for an 11:00 appt- which was great as I wasn't at address where he was needed. He drilled out the existing deadbolt and installed a new lock within 15 min! Very pleasant and polite, easy Zelle payment. I would highly recommend! Thanks Paul! read more

If you are looking for someone who is efficient, trustworthy, reliable, and easy to work with, Paul is your guy!

This was the second time I have used him and I will not hesitate to contact him again. read more

***** 5 STARS- Made a call to see if a FOB key could be made for my 2008 SAAB and before I could hang up the phone I received a call back. Paul was not able to duplicate the key however he did provided someone who may. Amazing, service. ***** read more

Paul is friendly professional and Superfast! Had everything he needed in his van to get the work done. Note: he is not thrilled about drilling hollow doors So if you have a hollow door that kind of put a deadbolt on get a carpenter to do it first. Highly recommended! read more

Paul is a great find - he communicated well - gave me an accurate estimate. I texted him photos of what I needed done and the keypad lock I purchased to see if everything would work. He responded quickly - arrived exactly at the time of our appointment. He also texted me when he was on the way (I always appreciate that). He did the job perfectly and was also able to fix a broken keypad in my studio unit. He is very personable and his rates are very fair and reasonable. He cleaned up after the job was done and it didn't take him very long at all to accomplish what I needed. I was so happy to find Paul and would highly recommend him! read more

Yes, A Better Locksmith located in Murrieta CA, me and my wife and baby man were visiting her dad, his grandpa who he's only seen twice in 15 months due to Covid so we stayed at Pechanga Resort Casino, very fun time and nice room.

They were prompt and able to fix my locks and make new keys quickly! They kept in tough via text as well so I would know when to expect them. read more

Showed up on time and quickly got all my locks re-keyed in no time at all. Excellent service.

Just wow! I locked myself out of the house during the middle of the day and found Paul's business through a recommendation from my neighbor. Who thankfully was home at the time. He mentioned a flat rate which was awesome and straight to the point. Arrived at the exact time he mentioned and even had a courtesy call when he was a few minutes away. Arriving at the house noticed he couldn't pick the front door locks and went immediately to the back door and was successful. Also very considerate asking if he could go through the house to open the front door. Finally on the spot made a spare key for me with no extra charge. There is honestly no amount of gratitude appropriate that I could give. Absolutely no doubt I will use his service again if I'm ever in a pickle. Thank you, Paul! read more

We were in quite the pickle when our deadbolt got stuck in our front door and wouldn't move out. After trying to Mac Gyver it many ways it wouldn't come out. We decided to call A Better Locksmith.

We will definitely use him again....just hopefully not too soon. read more

The puppy was barking like crazy and Paul saved the day. Arrived quickly and price was very reasonable. So grateful for his help. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Extremely fast response and was on site within 20 minutes. He knew exactly what to do and repaired and replaced the key cylinder quickly.

I needed cylinders replaced in three Schlage lock originally installed by my grandson, an engineer at Schlage in Colorado. It was not practical to ask him to fly to California to fix my locks so, per his instructions, I purchased the new cylinders online and called Paul to install them for me. He showed up in 30 minutes, was very efficient, professional and knowledgeable, and his services were very reasonably priced (less than his original estimate). I couldn't be happier! read more
