I lost the keys to my mailbox for a while and finally decided to find a locksmith to either make a new key or replace the lock. The first place I went to quoted me $135, which felt way too high. I found this shop instead and had a completely different experience. It seems to be run by a husband and wife team, and they were both so kind and welcoming. He explained I didn't need to replace the lock and he could make a key by doing an impression of the lock. I came in around 3pm, so he had it ready the next day. The price was very reasonable (much cheaper than the first place), and the service was excellent. The store is also well stocked with door knobs, padlocks, and other home security items. Highly recommend! read more

I love this key place, HIGHLY recommended! I went to Home Depot to make duplicates of my keys. They only had a few choices to pick from and I remember I had gone to this mom and pop shop years ago. It took me about 30 minutes of googling key shops in the Alhambra area and I had flashbacks when I saw this place on Google. I went in on a Saturday afternoon and surely enough, they had hundreds of choices to pick from. The prices vary from $5-$10 I believe depending on which design you pick. I should have came here first before wasting my time at 2 different Home Depot locations. This is THE place to get key copies. I do wonder why they are no longer open on the weekends. I still need to make a few extra key copies but the store hours have changed. I see that they are only open until 5:00 PM on weekdays and are now closed on weekends. Unfortunately my 9am-5pm job doesn't allow me the time to come in to the store during weekdays and they are closed weekends. read more

Family owned and operated. Very helpful and great workmanship. I needed my locks rekeyed because I wanted them to use the same key. Unfortunately the garage knob/lock was a different brand (all locks need to be the same brand - Schlage, Kwikset, etc - in order to use the same key). They suggested going to Home Depot to buy the door knob/lock because it may be cheaper and they could do the rekey, so all locks would usenthe same key. The work was quick and everything worked out. read more

Went in for a key duplicate. Really friendly. Fast and brilliant customer service! Definitely recommend this business

We had our mailboxes pried into and damaged and came here looking for a more secure mailbox. They made some recommendations for us, but didn't have what we needed in stock. The service was nice and helpful, and we appreciated the help. Small store on a big street. We found a parking spot right infront easily. read more

I had a garage key copied at Home Depot for $4.97. Didn't work. Had it copied at B & B for $2.25. It was done in just a minute or so and it works perfectly. Highly recommend. Thanks B & B! read more

Key copy was super quick and easy! Was in and out in a few minutes. Cheaper than a home depot kiosk

I come here all the time for all my keys that needs to be duplicated. They duplicated pretty much 99% of the keys i bring in. The keys that couldnt be duplicated are either the RFID ones or the southco keys - but the southco keys are generic, mass produced keys that you can pretty much get online- and there are codes to look those up, too. They also have an assortment of locks as well that you can pick from. Also, a service they have that I havent really seen from the other reviews that i want to mention is that if you bring them a lock with a piece of a key that broke and is stuck inside, they can remove it for you and you can continue to use the lock again. I had a broken key stuck in a cam lock, and instead of getting a new lock and re-keying to match the existing locks, they just took the stuck piece out and i put it back into the latch to use again. These guys are great, friendly - they know what they are doing and they get the job done quick. read more

Here to support mom n pop shops. Got some keys duplicated quickly and it was done at a great price.

I came in to replace my Honda car key but the young gentleman said it was working fine and the battery needed to be adjusted with the prongs. He was so kind to do that for me for free. He saved me money since I didn't need to purchase another one. So, I ended buying some cute Disney keys and a wrist key holder. Amazing service and I will definitely be coming back for all keys, locks, and safe needs. Thank you, B & B Lock and Security! read more

Great service. The guy was very knowledgeable and understood what was needed. The prices for key was much better than competitors. I'm not sure if this shop is family owed but the service was excellent. I go there for all my keys made. read more

When my Honda remote keys no longer worked on opening the doors or trunk, I visited my Honda service guy James at H H Motor Service. James recommended B&B Lock & Security nearby, also on Valley Blvd. At B&B I was told that the chip in one key malfunctioned and could not be repaired. The other just needed a battery. (I actually bought a new battery elsewhere, and put it in but may have drained it because of the malfunctioned remote chip). I acquired another remote key and came back to have it programmed. Now I'm back with 2 remote working keys again thanks to great service by Morgan! read more

Quick and easy service. Good price for key copies and they are very fast. Would definitely recommend.

I needed to buy an old-school kind of garage door opener. Couldn't find it at Home Depot luckily, B & B lock and security is nearby. They easily tested my old garage opener and made sure that it was not working. And I upgraded to a newer style opener for the same price. read more

02/18/2021 My rolling garage door won't open. I contacted some board members of my HOA to see if they had any good experience with garage door companies. I was referred to B & B Lock and Security said that they fixed a number of customers in my complex. I called them and gave a call back number, they called me back in 30 minutes. Gave my address and what the issue is. They said sounds like the springs broke that will cost $190 made a appointment to came over and get this done. It took less than an hour to install new springs, they lubricated the track rollers and balanced the door as well. I'm very happy with the service that i've received gave me a one warranty. read more

B & B Locks has always met my needs when it comes to fixing locks, changing locks, selling locks, and when I need another remote for garage door opener and/or for a security gate. Manufacturers throughout the years come and go. They obsolete and come out with new model numbers for everything. I'm happy to say that B & B is good at cross referencing part numbers per the manufacturer, and even trouble shoot issues that might involve a garage door or evene programming a new remote. They are knowledgeable. Nowadays their store mainly carries door locks and and so many different styles of safes. Their prices are decent. Maybe a bit less expensive than Home Depot and Lowe's. But basically I come to get knowledge to troubleshoot issues that needs to be resolve. They are also locksmiths who will go to your home via appointment to fix garage doors, re-key a lock, or change a new lock at a reasonable cost. I've been using them for the past twenty years! So go figure. read more

This was the go to place for all of my parent's locks and keys. Whenever an employee would quit or get dismissed, they would rekey the locks on the doors of their business. Whenever we moved to a new place, my husband and I always rekeyed the locks. It's a lot more cost effective than replacing the locks. I also like having the same key for the locks throughout the household. I called numerous locations so that I could compare their fees per visit and lock. I then remembered B&B Lock and Security. I should have known that they had the best prices. The locksmith rekeyed numerous locks for us. He also made additional keys for the locks that were rekeyed. About 15 minutes after he left, I realized that I had missed a door that needed to be rekeyed. I called B&B, and within minutes they sent the locksmith back. I am thankful that they did not charge me extra for having to come back to the residence. read more

Awesome and fast service! Been using them for the past 20 years whenever I need my garage door fixed.

Been here three times, always fast and good key copies (believe me, once I went somewhere else to make key copies, made 6, only 2 worked! So I guess key-copy is not as easy as we thought). Friendly and good price. Highly recommended. read more

I called them Monday and they came on Tuesday. I locked my keys in my office and door keys were in my office. I couldn't get in.5 I called Monday morning and they were completely booked. They came Tuesday. We also had one front door that was broken. They replaced the new locked and then the back door was not broken but it was not a moving handle so there is a good chance it can break in the future. So I decided to replace two new locks one broken one and one still working. My questions is why wouldn't they leave me the good one? I text right after when I thought about it and I didn't get a reply as of yet. They were really good at coming out and fixing the lock. Two new locks and and breaking in the door coat 490.00. They cleaned up after themselves too . read more

Used them many times. Always reliable! Great service! They don't upsell like others. Instead of talking me into changing the entire lock, they helped me re-keyed the front door. It served the purpose. read more

B&B Lock is an incredible business that should be recognized for their community involvement and service. B&B Lock was called upon to repair a security door for a Police Officer who had recently lost his wife. Without hesitation, they quickly responded and took care of the issue on the same day. They insisted that we do not compensate them for their time. They were more excited just to help for the cause. Truly a selfless act that they did, such an amazing company! read more

Just an honest company that makes an honest living. Thanks for fixing my automatic gate , David and Van for coordinating the visit.

I have been using their locksmith company for two decades and have been satisfied with their services every time. The key copies always work. When in shop the staff is always so kind and warm. The technicians that come out are always very professional and work pretty quickly. I definitely recommend this company. read more

Can you re-key a door lock that you lost the keys to? Asking for a friend. These guys can. I took one the deadbolt off the door and 10 min after walking in to B&B voila, had new keys for the old deadbolt. They also have made copies and sold me locks for so much cheaper than the big depot stores. Fast, no nonsense service. Super fairly priced and if I ever spring for a safe, they have nice ones for around $300 so I'm here. House keys run like a buck furry pet copy. The only thing I warn against is that from day to day the people behind the counter vary so if you get a quote for something on Monday, it may cost more or less on Thursday when you come back to get it done so best to do things there and then. read more

These guys have been around for years. They have the copied the Hardest keys for me. All House keys, auto keys(original Ferrari /Lambo had to be ordered, way less than dealer) alarm and transponder keys for new Lexus /Toyota. They have rekeyed and changed locks for me from Santa Monica to Chino Hills. They even have garage clickers big and small, repaired /replaced garage doors for me as well. I trust these guys for years. They can sometimes do late night repairs for an additional cost for emergencies if necessary. read more

BEWARE OF THIS SHOP!!!! This report is accurate and 100% true. OVER PRICED, RUDE, AND TRIED TO CHANGE PRICING ON ME AFTER I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR A SAFE AND INSTALLATION. FOR KEYS THEY ARE FINE, FOR LARGER ITEMS, ESPECIALLY IF SERVICE IS NEEDED, BEWARE! I had visited their shop to buy a good safe for my home. They recommended a particular model for roughly just over 2k which I paid quite a bit for. All in all it looked like a good safe but it weighed over 700 lbs. They said that the cost for installation was an extra 150.00 provided I take the safe home myself. I'd need about 3 people total but they would help us load it. I came a few days later with 2 men. The store owner still helped with his worker to load it. They had a hand truck that had a power lift on it so they used it so that no heavy lifting was required. I asked them to bring it when they came soon after so that we could unload it just as easily. Again, I had already paid for the safe and installation and was driving the safe home using my own truck to save money. When they arrived they offered to help unload using their hand truck. We then rolled it into my apartment and they began installation. It was the owner and his employee or son, not sure which. My workers were on stand-by just in case more hands were needed. All in all they took just over two hours to do the install from when we arrived. The owner called me later and said that I should pay an extra 200. because it took them more time than they expected. I was not okay with this. Im sure anyone reading this does not appreciate being told of extra charges after a deal has been made. Thats not how to do business and is shady. I told them that they needed to stick to their price as agreed. Its not my fault if they miscalculated the installation time. Thats not my fault. I told them they cannot add fees after a deal and expect the customers to pay this. Its their miscalculation and not mine after all. The owner argued with me and I told him that 150.00 for 2 guys to install for just over 2 hours was nothing to be upset about, AND that you can't change your pricing after you do a deal. The owner is Chinese, and a little difficult to understand with his accent although he was clearly trying to hustle me. I explained business ethics and fairness to him but he didn't care. I then even offered to bring him 50.00 extra. I told him it was not something I felt was fair but I'd do it to keep a good relationship. This fool was so stubborn he said NO, I don't want your 50.00. He preferred to be a victim than a wise business man and fair human being. They also gave me a used safe and not a new one. I wasn't happy about it but I accepted it so thats okay. Then later when I went back to ask for some help, they turned me away and refused to give me business even though I spent over 2400k at their shop. How rude and obnoxious. FTG! They are overpriced anyways. I found the same safe for several hundreds less, and newer at another local and US based store. Look around and Im sure you will find better deals and service than these guys. They are crooked in some cases. They may have some happy customers, but I spent a lot and when it came to service and doing the right thing, I saw their lack of integrity. read more
