Today I had a new fob created for my Chevy Bolt. I am so happy as it's high risk operating with just one...Jack made it right! Jack was in communication with me and fielded all my questions. He was personable, worked independently, and demonstrated expertise. I will recommend him to my friends, a testament of its self. It was all good and I highly recommend Bay Area Locksmith for your needs! read more

Bay Area locksmith ( aka JD Locksmith) is grossly incompetent and irresponsible. ( DO NOT get arranged to these guys via KeyMe Menlo Park!) They sent an unqualified kid, Eric, to unlock my house door yesterday. The kid struggled but did not know how to unlock my door. He then tried to work on windows and screen doors and failed. ( A 2nd red flag that I should not have overlooked! ). An hour wasted before he offered to install new locks by destroying the original as that was the only way he can open door and tag on more fees. After the install, I forgot to check the new keys/ lock until this morning. What a joke! I now know that I was given a wrong set of keys as these won't open the new door lock! I called and texted Bay Area Locksmith and JD Locksmith for help but they remain unresponsive. And instead of owning up to his own ignorances, Eric texted that I did something which explains why the key won't open the door. Really?! Unsound and shady business practice! So while I've access to my place yesterday, but I still cannot open my newly installed door lock since Eric had given me wrong set of keys! Be warned. Bay Area Locksmith/ JD Locksmith misrepresented themselves as locksmiths and refused accountability; as Eric, or one of their own, clearly had no idea what he was doing on the job. read more

My key broke in half in the lock at 10:00pm on a Saturday night. My dog was inside and it was a very frustrating and high stress situation. Chris with Bay Area Locksmith arrived within 30 minutes and saved the day. He was quick and efficient. Since it was a very stressful situation I was very aggravated and upset. Chris was really friendly and had such a positive attitude and really changed the night around. We chatted about our dogs and Chris' friendly demeanor really ended such a negative night on a positive note. read more

We had a safe that locked up on us . We were unable to open . We called and Criss came and was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to open this safe quickly . Very happy with his work . We definitely recommend this business and technician! read more

Difficult to write a review, let alone a positive one when the company fails to call back twice within 4 days. I called last Monday morning to get a key fob replaced...gave all the information to whoever answered the phone. He told me a technician would be calling me to set up a time shortly. Crickets. So I gave them another chance and called again Thursday and the man that answered apologized for his tech's failure to call and assured me that a tech would call me back. Well it's midnight Sunday and...yep, you guessed it, no calls. When you are in a service industry you have to provide service, unlike Bay Area Locksmith. Suffice it to say, I won't go for another round. I contacted another locksmith and was answered on the second ring, appointment made and I feel confident that the owner will be here as promised. Bay Area must be so busy they can't take the time to tell their customers that they are too busy? I'm signing off on a one star review only because Yelp won't allow zero. read more

Mike came out and was efficient and polite. I had trouble with my front door lock. It became difficult to lock and unlock the door. Mike discovered that a part in the lock had been installed incorrectly. He reinstalled the part correctly and it now works wonderfully. I saved a lot of money because I was sure I was going to have to buy a whole new lock system and I did not. read more

My cousin locked herself out of her house and we thought we had her spare key but we were incorrect! The doorknobs were changed. My husband contacted this wonderful locksmith and the locksmith not only saved my cousin's door knob because it was a special security lock (which would break if he tampered with it) but he kindly offered to jump through her window from the 2nd floor to open the front door and provided us a spare key for emergencies. Wonderful service and we will forever use this locksmith! read more

Moshe was professional, kind, polite and patient.He got here fast and he helped me with another lock that was giving me trouble absolutely free. I would recommend Bay Area Locksmith to anyone. Please ask for him! read more

Bay Area Locksmith - Got a new hi security lock set! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Jose, California

Locked out of the apartment and the keys to the car were in the apt. Not the best start to a Friday night! Branden was out in 20 minutes! Friendly professional and had us in the door as little time as a debit transaction takes. I don't even know what else to say besides that I am highly satisfied. It cost less than I expected. Will absolutely call them in the future. read more

Jack, one of the locksmiths, was not only quick and helped me out a lot with my front door lock rekey issue at my house.

Give them a call and don't waste your time anywhere else. I would definitely recommend this company. read more

I called Bay Area lock smith for help to open up a home office locked from inside. They were prompt in responding, prompt in showing up and getting the job done. There was a situation where I left a two star review for lack of clarity in communication and the pricing. However, the owner immediately contacted me and listened to my feedback. He really went above and beyond not only to listen but also get it right. Things sometimes don't go perfectly but how the owner reacted to it says a lot about the business. To net it out: they are fast, capable and get the job done. if you have any issues, they will try to get it right with you. read more

The key was cut too thin and broke so I need to buy and program a key again. Very courteous and accommodating even late night read more

See all

Courteous and speedy service and got the car unlocked. Reasonable price. Do recommend.

I emailed several locksmiths and Moshe responded instantly to my request and his quote was reasonably priced. I highly recommend!

This is an update from my original post from 3/26/2022- The manager contacted me and provided a full refund for the situation. He apologized multiple times for the issues and stated would look into them. He also provided a full refund as the initial price of $250 was reduced to $169. He didn't want me to worry about the charge. It's little things like following up and showing a business cares to get repeat customers. After speaking with Timo, we will give it another shot. Thank you for taking care of us. read more
