I went in because another spot I went to was closed, despite their hours saying otherwise.. Glad that happened though because I had a great experience here! Was in and out quickly and the service was great, as was the pricing. Will recommend this to anyone downtown! read more

This shop has been in business for a VERY long time and I appreciate the historical memorabilia kept in this shop. Hee Man helped me make a copy of the key to my condo (one of the historic bldgs in dtla that requires only his shop to make copies), as well as helped me get back into my unit when I had locked myself out. He's a very skilled, kind and hardworking man. I highly recommend this locksmith! read more

Friendly and quick service! Reasonable prices at a convenient location. A recommended location

i had an amazing experience and recommend this store to anyone looking for a shoe repair! Very affordable and the shoes came out looking brand new :) read more

AMAZING!!! Remember the keymaker in Matrix? Amateur. This woman is the Zen Master of Keymaking! Sick of making multiple trips to Home Depot because the key duplicating machine can never get it right? Got a weird key you can't get a blank for? This is the place. I've been impressed with her speed and accuracy for basic home keys, but today she really shone. I ride my motorcycle daily, and my Givi top box (basically a trunk) makes that possible. Thing is, I've had the box so long (longer than the bikes I've mounted it to!) I lost the spare key. So it was time to fix that. I ordered the only remotely correct blank from Revzilla, my favorite Givi dealer. But apparently Givi had changed the key blank over the years. She took one glance at it and said "This isn't going to work." Then she showed me why, and proceeded to poke around some of her many, many blanks. She found one that would work, and cut it. Flawlessly. It's so great to have such a talented professional so close to work. Even if it's not convenient, make the trip to ABC. You won't regret it. read more

Whoooooaaaaa this guy was so impressive. Someone locks us out of our office as a critical time and I called 3 people and they all said tomorrow or they would have to call me back :/ boooo but ABC Locksmith said "ok, I'll be there is 30!" And showed up in 20mins running to us hahaha how sweet! Then worked his magic on our door and opened it within 5 mins. Wow! Now that's CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

Had a stuck lock in our office. Hee Man showed up within a half hour and had our lock working perfectly within another 20 mins. He showed up quickly, when he said he would, and was very polite and professional. We'll be sure to call on him anytime we have locksmith needs! P.S. He does shoe repair, too! read more

Really nice people. Came over on a Sunday night. Very nice man, mom and pop operation with old school techniques and a real focus on getting you going. Got to my place in DTLA in less than 20 minutes. I would recommend. Use this guy. read more

I needed a quick key copy for my visiting friend, and ABC came to the rescue! Super convenient location right near Grand Central Market, and they offer shoe repair as well. Fast service, great price, and a nice smile on a rainy LA day. Thank you! read more

Answered phone immediately and visited my retail location to perform lock repair within the hour! He was efficient and fixed the problem in minutes. read more

In a word, this guy was awesome. I locked myself out at 3:30am, called ABC at 3:38am, said he would here in 10 min and he was (I'm in downtown la). I've locked myself out once before so I thought for sure the lock would have to be completely replaced (like the last time), but this guy got my door open in a matter of seconds. I was in my apartment by 3:55am. I've never had a locksmith work so fast--I was truly shocked. I'm embarrassed to say I almost didn't use him...when I first called I had a hard time understanding him. He was asking for my address and I kept giving it and he kept getting it wrong. Out of frustration, I hung up :( He called right back and asked again and said he had it, but I thought for sure he would never actually show up. Word to the wise--don't be an impatient jerk like me. Take a little extra time to explain yourself clearly and he'll make up for it on the other end. Thanks ABC! read more

I locked myself out of my office and was desperate. I called a few lock smiths in DTLA, but no one was picking up. Finally reached the gentleman and ABC Lock Smith and he was over at my office in less than 10 minutes. It took him a few minutes to unlock my office door and I was saved. He charged a really reason rate so I highly recommend anyone who is locked out or in need of a lock smith to use this guy. He is prompt, professional and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Thank you! read more

This place literally saved my life. I accidentally locked my keys in my car when I had to go to work and so I called the nearest lock smith which happened to be this spot. I explained my situation and he completely understood my predicament. He came to my car within 10 mins and managed to finish the job very quickly. If there is anyone else who ever happens to be in a situation like mine in dtla, do not hesitate to call this place. The price they charged me was also very reasonable. Probably the lowest I've seen in downtown read more

This is a great little lock smith/ shoe repair / gift shop. Tons of klitchy little cheap gifts. The owner is a locksmith and a shoe cobbler. Rates for key copies were $8 and the quote for re-soling my boots was quoted at $40. Located in the heart of Downtown LA's historic core, this is the quintessential local business that needs the support from locals and visitors. read more

Got locked out of my apartment. Called him and he was super friendly on the phone said he would over in 20 min. and he was! When he arrived he was extremely nice and got us back into our apartment in like 6 minutes! Good price, super quick! Definitely recommend! read more

Hee Man was so friendly and sweet!! He arrived in like 10 or 11 minutes to open my door when I got locked out. I highly recommend this place

Because I am not a genius, I locked myself out of a walk-in closet. I've been to ABC multiple times for key dupes (they're fast and fantastic) so hoped someone would be available for asap help. Hee Man (great name and apt) was at our place within the hour and unlocked the door in about 90 seconds. He was then able to make a replacement key on the spot. Besides being very kind, courteous and generous on a professional level, Hee Man is just a lovely human being. This is the kind of business I love to support. Direct, honest, local. Heartening! read more

Quick, convenient and super friendly! Was in and out in 3 minutes and the woman working was welcoming and friendly. 10/10 will be used for all my key necessities as a local read more

I wish there were more people like this in the world!! Such great people! Highly recommend this business

Mr. Park came to the rescue when I had locked myself out 3.5 years ago (see my review below). How could I ever call anyone else for my locks? I am so happy that I was able to use his services again just recently. He did a great job installing new smart locks for our new home and his rates are great! Plus he is the nicest guy. read more

If you live on the north side of downtown, he will be there in under 20 minutes. 75$ standard fee. Nice guy. Wouldn't bother with anyone else! read more

This man is a key magician! I misplaced my key and was locked out of my apt but I was able to get the master key from my leasing office to get a key made. Since I was late making it into the leading office and they needed their key back within the same hour before they closed, I had to rush out immediately to the locksmith. When I got to this place, it was still rush hour traffic DTLA so parking was limited. I parked quickly on the street right outside the shop and ran in thinking I'd just drop off my key and circle the block for parking while he was making it. But to my surprise, it took the man LITERALLY less than a minute to make my key! I was in and out of the shop within... no lie... 2 minutes or possibly less! He did a great job! He was very polite and efficient! I'd definitely recommend him and will be back for any further locksmith needs! read more

I had been looking for a replacement key for my 1983 Pickuo truck for months....no one had the right key. Walked by here on a whim and they had it! Fast and good price too! read more

Called this guy and he was here in less than 10 minutes. So kind and friendly!! Yes his English is a little weak but Jesus... Welcome to LA. Just ask to text the address and he will be happy! He gets the work done fast efficient and cheap. I would absolutely recommend him. read more

I have locked myself out of my home about 6 times over the years... In the Valley and Downtown. I got a different lock smith every time but no one has compared. I called 4 places at 5 pm before anyone would agree to come. Himan (Hee man?) said he'd be there in 15 minutes. And he was. I looked up and saw him running down the street. My husband took him in, I walked a block to get cash and by the time I returned they were already inside. My husband told me it took him 2 minutes. He was also cheaper than anyone I've ever used ($65 compared to $125 to $180 I've paid before - for my lock anyway) and had the most sincere smile. A truly genuine human being. If anyone deserves your business it's him. He also fixes shoes he said.:D read more

Friendly and courteous, but most importantly fast! I locked myself out of my car at work and they came within 15 mins to get me going again! read more

I got locked out of my office and my only key was locked inside as well . I called ABC to get a quote because it was the closest to me . He showed up in less than 10 minuets and he took less than 2 minuets to get my door open. He is such a life saver and very friendly. He charged me exactly what he quoted me no more than that . I recommend calling him if your in a pinch. read more

I was working a delivery for Postmates and had a pick up downtown off 7th St between Hope & Flower. Out of haste I locked myself out of my car but called ABC Lock Smith which was swift to locate me and help me out! I was even able to get my orders delivered still!! Thanks for your help and I definitely recommend their service to everyone!!! Quick and fast, 5 star rated read more

They fixed the heels and shined my boots! They did a great job! Highly recommend. It pricey and definitely worth the investment if you have good quality shoes that you are just not ready to let go! read more

My friend forgot his keys inside his car. While he was working I went to see if I could help unlock it. So I called them, some guy kindly came to the parking lot where the car was n unlocked the car. So nice n friendly. Didn't have the amount he was Charing but I gave him everything I had in my wallet. $50 (: So recommend this place! read more

Most people seem to love Mr. Park for his lock picking skills but he's my go-to person for everything shoe related. He always gives me the best prices and tells me upfront if my expectations will or will not be met when I need to repair my shoes. He does a great job and my shoes are always ready on time. I love the customer service here and really appreciate his honesty. It's no surprise that there are so many positive reviews about his locksmith services as I am sure he extends the same kind of professionalism to all his customers. read more

Horrible what a mess! Called them to install a lock on my door they put it in so badly I had to call my contractor to fix it and he isn't a locksmith $130.00 down the drain and I learned a lesson !!!the lock they used was cheap and could be easily picked. Shoppers be warned this is horrible service and they refused me a refund . I was scammed!!!! Loft dwellers be careful they see $$$ and double the price ! I'm so over these non ethical shops!! read more

DTLA RESIDENTS! GO TO THIS MAN IF YOU NEED A LOCKSMITH!!! I lost my car key at Joe's parking on Spring St, between 5th and 6th, I called this man up, he literally came in 10 minutes on his bike and opened my car and made me a new key, the same day. He is a nice & HONEST old school locksmith, and he gave me a great deal. Hit him up, use his services and write him a nice review, he's cool =) read more

They're located at 222 8th street now. Really nice guy. Cheap and quick keys.

Locked myself out if the apt in dtla at 8 am on sat with a plane to catch later that day. Called around and no one was picking up except ABC. He said he'd be there in 10 min and he was. He ran there carrying a heavy tool bag. Then because the security fob was locked inside we couldn't take the elevator so he walked up nine flights of stairs while I helped him with the heavy tool bag. 30 minutes after I first called him I was back inside. He asked for water and that was it. Reasonable rates and really close by if you're in dtla. I caught my flight and I'm forever grateful. read more

Is a error to call this guy I give him a directions were I'm like 10 times and never show up, hi don't speak English!!

I've had to call the locksmith three times this past year. ABC unlocked my door in approximately ten minutes. Considering the past two locksmiths struggled for more than an hour, I was impressed. However, my key has not worked since ABC picked the lock. I called to see if the locksmith would stop by to rotate the lock back into place, but he said it would be an additional $75! read more

After another service promised to come out for $15 call + $25 service, but then wanted $95 when WD40 didn't work and let him go, called ABC. Came out promptly (30 min.), opened the cabinet and then promised 2 keys and return delivery all for $100--and he kept his word! read more

This gentleman is an all star. I lost both my spare keys to my vehicle. Completely out of options I decided to give this locksmith a call. He created two keys from scratch so that I could once again drive my car. It took close to 3 hours to complete the job. He was very convenient as he also dropped the keys off to my job after he finished working on the vehicle's locks. He is a total life saver he was. Now I have my car key back and an additional spare! I think i will create two more copies for safe keeping :-) If you lose all of your keys and need someone to make one from scratch, this is the guy to call! read more
