First, thank you Carla and Dan for a job well done. I contracted with Antrims to install dead bolts on 2 doors and repair front door lock, which was a mess.. Dan arrived at the scheduled time, was professional, friendly and, above all, very knowledgeable and an expert in his trade. Price was reasonable and Dan cleaned the work areas upon completion. I am very satisfied with the work and will use them again when needed. read more

Service was simple to schedule. Service is above and beyond. Very thorough and honest. Price is reasonable.

We weren't sure if our front door lock needed repair or replacement. The Antrims tech came on time, determined that repair was the best option, and did the repair quickly and effectively. Both he and the office person were courteous and helpful. Definitely recommend this business. read more

Dan from Antrims came out and removed all our locks so we could have them polished. He is very knowledgeable , as is Carla in the office. What a team! Our locks came off, were polished and are back on in short order. Instead of new doors, we now have polished Hardware. They didn't try to up-sell us on anything and even complimented what we had. So wonderful. We've counted on Antrims For so many years. This year, though, was quite special. Thanks, Antrims team. read more

I've been here about 5 times and the service is always professional and awesome. Quality products at a fair price.

I stopped in at Antrim's to get a couple keys copied since I'm trying not to spend money at Home Depot. It was way better than a big box store experience! There are tons of options for key designs and the staff are so kind and knowledgeable. The price is not high, most keys cost $5 but there are some fancier design options that cost up to $8. I picked one of the cute ones because I like a little bit of whimsy but it's totally up to personal preference. I did not feel like I was being upsold. I will definitely return next time I need any lock or key supplies! read more

I just had my second visit from Antrims; the first one was in 2023. I came back because I knew I could trust them to do good work and charge a fair price. And indeed, Ryan F arrived promptly today, was both knowledgeable and courteous, and did excellent, efficient work. There are so many private contractors and companies these days who take advantage, misrepresent, or even outright scam. To find a company that is honest to the core, just trying to provide the community good service, is deeply comforting. read more

I tasked Carla with a rare double dead bolt for a very thick gate with very short latch. The lock was from the 60s that broke and was retrofitted. This lock no longer existed. Carla and her team managed to sourced a rare Schlage double dead bolt and her locksmith came out and installed it with a lot of retrofitting the lengths of the lock and bolts to make it work. Highly recommend. read more

Consulted Antrim's for the purchase of a lock to use on a Storage unit since I didn't want to use the cheap locks the storage facility sells. Carla offered to loan me several of their locks to see which ones would work best for the shackle hole diameter of the storage units hasp. Very friendly and knowledgeable team working here. They gave me reliable advice in deciding which brand and type of lock to purchase, answered all of my questions about locks. Was also impressed that they knew who the "Lock Picking Lawyer" is on YouTube, who I use to research lock and security decisions. I ultimately purchased an Abus Disc Lock from Antrims. Would easily recommend them for lock rekeying, house or office lock replacement, repairs or other locksmith needs. Competitively priced, large selection of every kind of lock for different needs, small business, able to see the locks and ask questions about the differences of the locks without having to search the Internet for days. Able to purchase the lock the same day without messing with Amazon or waiting days or weeks for it to be delivered. The only place I could find in the area that carry's Abus and higher quality locks. read more

If you need lock and key services, I highly recommend Antrims. Carla Aranda was so kind and generous. She really helped me out with a project. read more

I'm pretty sure the people of Antrim's could pick a lock. Or crack a safe! I walk into this place and they know what I need before I ask. Experienced. Smart. Easy going. Great with customers. I asked if they had a battery for my car fob (the electronic key). The man behind the counter asked a few questions about my car and in a few minutes he said he had the part to fix it. I asked can you put in the battery because I don't know how. "Yes," he said. Literally a few minutes later a woman motioned to me and said here, All done? I asked. Yes, she said. That was it. My worries about locking my car or gosh -- starting it -- evaporated. She even confirmed by telling me "I tested it and it read weak." She clearly knew her stuff. The guy told another customer he needed to bring in the lock to be sure he had the right key. Reasonable price, too. Honest professionals. A small business find. read more

Old school fabulous! These people were brilliant! Great prices too. I brought 5 Baldwin cylinders to be keyed a like and they got it done within Th e hour. They also talked me thru how to disassemble a mortise cylinder so I could bring it in. The just don't make businesses like this anymore... read more

I've been using Antrims for years and they have never let me down on any of my keys , locks , service needs period . Carla , Ryan , and her team are very professional .I appreciate them and will continue using them . Thank you Antrims Wayne Campbell Pasadena read more

Extremely helpful, responsive and friendly. Carla does a terrific job at their service counter. Excellent support of legacy products.

I recently had a problem with one of my door locks and they suggested that I try a home remedy before they scheduled someone to check it out. The home repair worked and it saved me a lot of money. I used Antrims to key my entire house 10 years ago, they did a great job back then so I'm glad that I went back. These days it's hard to find a vendor that isn't trying to make an easy buck. I really appreciate their honesty and helpfulness. I am defintely a lifetime customer. Thanks so much! read more

These guys are amazing!! I was unfortunately locked out of my apartment and needed a new key asap. Ryan went above and beyond! He was able to resolve my issue quick and and with ease. This saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you Ryan and Antrims! I don't have to be homeless tonight. read more

Best place! All the keys worked first time around with no issues. Have returned three other times and quality is excellent. Very efficient and professional. The locksmiths don't smile but still friendly and very helpful! I totally recommend them!!!!! Had keys made for home and business. read more

Always professional and so helpful. Highly recommend. Everything from a key to be made or a big problem lock, they can fix it.

Great fast and friendly service. Parking is street side. It says I need 85 more characters so here they are.

I've gone here a few times in the past to get my keys duplicated with no issues and at a great price. But recently they have gone above and beyond and have a customer for life in me. I recently acquired an old arcade cabinet for my office and I needed to change the locks on it, as I only had one key for the current lock and it used dimple keys which are pricey to replace. I did not know the diameter of the barrel of the lock so they gave me two different sizes based on the lock barrel that I brought, and told me to bring the one that I don't use back. They did this without asking for a receipt or anything. Lo and behold a friend made me realize that I don't need a lock with key, I can just use thumb locks (the ones where you twist them open) since I don't need to lock it up at the office (there's no money in it, etc). I tried the smaller barrel before I got the thumb locks and it didn't work and I somehow lost the other barrel (it was the holidays and things got crazy). I brought the one bag back and they only charged me for the one I lost, telling me if I brought it back I can get a full refund, which was absolutely fair since it was my fault. Their level of trust in a customer and willingness to go above and beyond to help a customer out is rare these days. I will come back to get my locks and keys when I need them again. read more

Always there when I need them, and they always understand the urgency. Great expertise and very reasonably priced. Have used them many times, and I will continue to do so. read more

Awesome local business been here 87 years. Got keys copied for $3 each vs $10 at the keyme machine

Wow! I can't rave about this place enough. Fast, cheap, and good -- or rather, great! They solved my problem immediately and knew the ins and outs of their business like nobody else. They were open on a Saturday and just super efficient and smart and awesome. Thanks! read more

Look no further, this team is great. I have a home that has lots of locks including Kwikset Smart locks and Schlage and they all needed to be rekeyed. Some were old and needed new cylinders, some were dirty and all in all it was a difficult and timely job. I stopped by Antrim's office with pictures of the locks and spoke to Carla about the job. She gave me a rough estimate (the high and low) and scheduled the job for the following morning. Ryan called me the following morning before he arrived to let me know he was on the way. Ryan showed up as expected, we went over the job and he started the work. The job took a good part of the day and another Antrim's locksmith arrived to assist. They worked tirelessly to get the job done and did everything I asked for. I was charged exactly what Carla quoted me and I was pleasantly surprised as I was expecting it to be much more. I am very happy and would highly recommend you contact them if you are in need of a professional locksmith that sticks to their quoted price and performs exceptional work. Thank you Ryan and Antrim's Lock and Key, you folks rock! -aj read more

I contacted Antrims to have a new installation of a Schlage Smart Lock on my front door, I had the lock just needed the drilling and install. They were able to schedule an appointment within two days of my call. Dan arrived as promised and looked at the door and the lock to determine what was needed. He was professional, very knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. He didn't leave until he was satisfied that the install was correct and the lock was operating properly. I highly recommend Dan and Antrims. I will call them in the future. read more

Clara the owner is a so much fun to talk to. You would think as a key maker they have very little to say or just being brief and speak only "key words"! (Get the joke?!) No seriously, I've been never disappointed whenever I patronize their place they can do Magic!! I wish that they would stock a little more lockbox. I bought the one and only lockbox there. They're such great players in the business community because they did not mind referring customers (whenever they get overwhelmed) to another locksmith in the Pasadena area. That's what I call great "Key-manship!" read more

We received very good service and quality workmanship.They fixed our problem in minutes and were able to resolve another issue we were having with another lock on a different door. read more

Been using them for at least 30 years. Excellent business. Maintain security by only allowing authorized people to pick up keys. Fixed a complicated door lock on site a few times. read more

Best place in town to get keys made. I've tried other places like Ace hardware, etc. with poor results. Antrims is a great local business, very trustworthy. read more

SUPER good service! We got home from vacation and were unable to open the wall safe in which we had stashed all of our car keys. We had lost the key that allows opening the lock if the batteries on the combination lock are dead. The technician from Antrim's arrived at our house 15 minutes after we called. He was able to open the lock without destroying it. We have always had good service from Antrim's and this is no exception. read more

Antrim's is the best! I occasionally need pins, and other supplies and Antrim's ALWAYS has what I need. Great, friendly, knowledgeable staff, always willing to help. So far there's been nothing they don't have, nice to have a reliable source that I don't need to wait for shipping like I used to before I found them. read more

I am amazed at the wonderful customer service given to me by Antrims Lock and Key. I'm thrilled with them! It is so rare these days to find wholesome, honest and fair businesses. Needless to say, I am super satisfied with their service and can't give them enough accolades. I highly recommend them as a lock & key business. read more

Very nice owners. They had exactly what I needed to secure a couple glass cabinets. My medicine is safe- yet accessible. The prices are fair and compliment the quality of the locks I purchased. read more

Got my Medeco keys copies here. It took forever to find this place but I'm so glad I finally did, with the help of Medeco; Antrim's Keys is a licensed carrier of Medeco. Very honest, hard-working guys! read more

I took a broken lock from my house that was built in 1931. I had other locksmiths try to repair, but they may have made it worse. Antrims Lock & Key took the time to assess the problem, identify how to repair and then took the time to search for a very rare, old part to repair. They explained every step to me and any possible options. I highly recommend Antrims if you need experts and wonderful customer service! read more

Service was great. Dan, the technician, got here on time and was able to fix four older locks. One could barely open, the others had different issues, and now they all work great. Very professional. read more

I bought a new garage door opener recently and wanted to be able to operate the gate to my community and the garage door with the same controller. Carla put in a lot of time researching what could work and trying different options as the gate code is an older system. She found something that worked, programmed the gate code and walked me through the steps to program the garage door code. Great service! read more
