Firstly the good parts: Eli sounded professional on phone and arrived 2 hours after I called. He was friendly, clean and competent. I was comfortable allowing him into my home and satisfied that my apartment was secure when he left. The bad parts: he was all over the place with numbers and discounts and cheesy "for you...." type quotes. Originally changing cylinder only was around $230. But he pressured me to also change door handle which I hadn't planned on ( my other locksmith assured me it wasn't necessary.) I caved to the sales pressure bringing my new quote to $350. Finally he said he would do it for $310 after I promised to write a good Yelp review for him. After he finished the work he wanted me to write the Yelp review immediately before he accepted payment and applied discount. I said no because I did not have time, but he kept pressuring me and didn't seem at all to care that I was late for a job assignment. I ended up not taking "good Yelp review discount" and paid $337. I would have given him 4 stars and a short but sweet review with a full recommendation if he had given a price and stuck to it and not tried to buy a good Yelp review. He also didn't give me a receipt or invoice. Of minor annoyance was that he parked in my neighbors driveway and asked me if that was ok, I clearly said "no" and urged for him to move vehicle immediately. He said "I'll be quick' and ignored my request. So I would only recommend him if you are in desperate need of someone righty away, just get a firm price before work begins and maybe an itemized invoice and be willing to haggle.

But was lacking, matching locks and modern electronic hardware we really wanted to have. We we we were referred by our realtor to Anytime Locksmith and-said that they're super professional and they really know their craftsmanship.

If you need a locksmith in San Rafael, Novato, and surronding Marin County. Call Eli. My neighbor got locked out of his house, due to the internal mechanism on his high security lock jamming. Every door and window to the house was locked. Eli assessed the situation with the front door lock right away, clearly explaining the options (from the least expensive to the most expensive) repair to my neighbor. Instead of hard selling the most expensive option, like most locksmiths do when you call on a late Saturday afternoon. Eli walked around the house to see if he could open a window or sliding glass door to save my neighbor ($$$$'s), even though my neighbor assured him, there was no way in. If there was no way in, Eli was going to have to drill the lock ($$$$'s). Eli got a sliding glass door to open. My neighbor was back in his house. Eli repaired the lock exactly at the cost he quoted over the phone (integrity). In the end, my neighbor did not want to take the chance of being locked out again, because of Eli's honesty; he got the order for a brand new front door lock from my neighbor. This was the best locksmith job, I have seen in a very long time. Eli is now on our community website for anyone looking for a locksmith. Thank you Eli. Outstanding work. read more

I was so happy Eli came when I called. I needed to re-key my front door after we lost all of the keys over a period of a month. The door was an old french door and the handle was sticky, the internal lock mechanism was really rusty. I was afraid we'd have to replace everything. Eli re-keyed everything quickly (he changed out the tumbler) and then had a lot of trouble trying to make the handle and lock work properly in tandem. He spent a lot of time trying to figure it out and then realized that the door had shifted through moisture and settling and the locking pins were not fitting into the hole at the top of the door. He was hesitant to drill the hole bigger but we talked about it for a while and finally decided to do it. Drilling the larger hole solved everything. The whole lock was so easy to use afterwards. The price, although not inexpensive, was reasonable for the time he spent, and the house call. We got to talking and discovered we had a lot of experiences in common and had a great discussion on travel, family, marriage, life's slings and arrows. It was wonderful meeting him. He's a really great guy and he's good at finding the problem and then creatively fixing it. Thanks for helping us out, Eli! We'll call you whenever we need a locksmith. read more

My whole family was pretty distraught when my grandma's car was broken into - with her wallet, house keys and ID inside. Since this jerk now had her home address and keys, we needed to get the locks changed immediately. I called Eli Anytime Locksmith during the late afternoon and a technician arrived to her house within 20 minutes. I told Eli about what happened, and that we wanted to change all of the locks and get new keys made. But he explained that it wasn't even necessary to change all the locks and buy new hardware - he could just re-key all of the locks, so that the stolen key wouldn't work. That ended up saving my grandma a lot of money. Eli was super-friendly and efficient. His prices were very reasonable and gave my grandma a senior discount. He even fixed a door that wasn't aligned properly, so we were able to lock it again - for free! He left the site totally clean and made sure that all the doors and locks worked properly. I will definitely be calling Eli Anytime Locksmith whenever I need a locksmith service again, and would highly recommend anyone to do the same! Thanks Eli, you rock! read more

Omer was friendly and very professional in the way he conducted himself. Responsive and communicactive with regards to ETA. Immediately could tell he was knowledgeable and quick to understand what my needs were when I described I needed a brand new programmed key with remote locks for my '02 Lexus(lost the original). Car had been sitting awhile/battery needed help and he took it upon himself to go the extra mile it needed to finally startup again! Once done the service did not take long. He also took that opportunity give me insight into what was going on with the vehicle. Dude was definitely not JUST a locksmith. Price was much lower than some others wanting to charge DOUBLE what I paid!! Don't get fooled by all these multiple companies/phone numbers calling the same call center under different names that immediately start trying to find out where you live so they can get your money quicker than someone else. Eli Anytime Locksmith wants to EARN your gleaming review of their excellent service. read more

Eli and Anytime Locksmith have my highest possible recommendation. Timely, skillful, experienced, and transparent. Everything is you'd hope for in a locksmith. The door handle of our very old front door jammed, and we were unable to get in or out -- even with the key. I called Eli on a Sunday afternoon: he quickly and accurately assessed the situation over the phone and arrived with the hour. It would've been easy to remove and replace the handle/lock with a new one, but Eli took the extra time to repair the existing hardware. As a result, we were spared the additional time and cost of finding a replacement. Throughout the process, Eli made it a point to describe the possible interventions and outcomes. He put himself in my shoes and made it easy for me to understand his reasoning. I will absolutely be using Eli/Anytime Locksmith for future lock-related problems that arise. Strongly recommend you do the same! read more

I was helping a friend with get some repairs done around the house and volunteered to drive a cargo van to the Home Depot in El Cerrito. There I am with a cart full of supplies, lumber, and tools when I realized I didn't have the keys. The rumbling noise from the van made it clear that I left it running, I was having a "lively" conversation with a comcast rep on my earpiece and just walked away from the van. Damn it. Everyone was waiting for the supplies and I had no idea what to do. First locksmith I called didnt want to deal with cargo van or something, and I was getting really upset. Luckily next on the search was Eli with Anytime Locksmith. He got the car make/model/year from me and insured me it was not a problem for him. He was right, it took him under 15 min to get to me and under 10 min to open the van! Awesome service and great work! read more

I had a security issue with my apartment and needed a locksmith. I called Anytime Locksmith LLC and they gave me a quote on the spot for a lock change and a padlock cutting, and they were here in just one hour. Upon arrival and inspection of the lock, the job was sized up and handled very efficiently. The lock was incredibly old, with the doorknob and the deadbolt being attached to the same cylinder which made it very secure, but he did not have any problem whatsoever in removing and replacing the cylinder for the doorlock, and finishing the job quickly. Eli was very respectful and professional, finishing the job in only 15 minutes. I'm very impressed with his work and the quality of my re-cylindered door lock. Thank you so much Anytime locksmith LLC. I would definitely recommend you to anyone in Richmond and in the East and NorthBay. read more

Broke my key off in my front door lock. Lock cylinder was completely useless and had 2 children clamoring for dinnertime with a front door that would not close and lock. Eli came, saw and conquered all in under 1 1/2hr. Efficient, polite and friendly, informative and precise. Beyond that he diagnosed the underlying problem as the door fit not the lock and used his tools to core out my lock jamb to ensure a better fit. My front door now opens and closes smoothly and without the "jiggle hassle" thanks to his extra effort and future proofs the new lock from future key breaks. He quoted fairly, charged more than fairly (i got 2 quotes for alternative prices), worked throughout the fix to provide me the best price and value based on real-time feedback of his fix and then delivered as a professional. Eli and Anytime Locksmith rocked. read more

The tumbler broke on my door, locking the door permanently at 4:30pm on a Saturday. Keymaster Locksmith did not return my call but Anytime Locksmith did. Eli committed to fixing it that day but was unable to arrive until 8pm yet still willing to complete the work that night. Upon arrival, he quickly identified the problem and completed the work professionally. He clearly explained what he intended to do and expected cost before beginning. He demonstrated the working lock afterwards and suggested appropriate lock safety. His cell phone cut out a lot so we had to call each other several times and sometimes he sounded a bit rude but in personal, he is warm, friendly, patience and helpful and above all professional so keep that in mind. I recommend him and will call him again when needed. read more

Recently I returned from a relaxing girls getaway weekend in the Wine Country. But when my friend dropped me off at my house, I could not find my housekey. Freak out! Then I remembered....I changed purses for my getaway weekend, and must have left my housekey buried in my workday purse that was still inside my house. I remember the panicky feeling of waiting outside and wondering what to do. Fortunately, my friend found Eli's phone number. He picked up right away and came within 20 minutes. Eli got me into my house, quickly and safely. I found my housekey, and he made a duplicate for me on the spot. So this won't happen again. It also really helped that Eli had a calm and reassuring manner. Soon I recovered the relaxing feeling of my weekend away. Thank you Eli. read more
