They don't like to work on Mazda remote controls. I could understand that but they're the closest to me and even though I go to Walmart every week, I don't really want to go to the other store out there read more

Great people and great service!! Had an emergency order to replace locks and keys at my work and Buffum's pulled through on this one. It was last minute and had to be done today and they worked fast to see if they could make it happen. They were quick and professional. Thank you everyone at Buffum's. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I used a bad battery for the replacement and did not figure it out. After 2 minutes the tech. recommended I re-replace the battery and everything is working fine now at no charge for his advice. Gratefully appreciated. read more

These guys are pros, jobs done right the first time. Also, they came out one time no charge, just to help me measure some stuff. These guys are good, on time, reasonable pricing. read more

I've used Buffums Lock Shop in Camarillo since they were a shack on the 101 off ramp (late 1960's). They have always filled my needs for locks and keys. I recently needed a new lock installed to replace a front door lock that had worn out. I purchased the lock that was recommended and made arrangements for installation. I was later informed the recommended lock was not compatible and reordered the one they stated would fit in the existing holes. Later the installer informed me there were metal plates required to cover the existing holes and new holes drilled for the lock. After 3 months and over $700, I determined only one person had experience on lock replacement. The other employees can cut keys and not sure what else. Time for me to move on and find a better lock shop. read more

My dad and I recently lost everything in the mountain fire last week. We lost our entire home and every vehicle we owned, however, one truck was burned slightly on one side but would still start. Unfortunately , we lost all our keys as well. I reached out to Buffums in the middle of the night and explained my situation. The owner, emailed me back within a couple Hours explaining to me that he would do whatever he could to help us out and that he would be there that same day. I just wanted to say thank you to Buffums. You could have told us it would be a couple of days and you could have charged us, but you didn't. Thank you for showing compassion and helping my dad out. read more

I learned about Buffum's from a friend after lamenting about a broken front door latch. I called and described my problem, which the dispatcher described as an easy fix and I made an appointment. The technician came on the appointed date and during the time range. He literally fixed my door latch in 5 mins. I recalled that I wanted to reduce my locks to one key and just like that the technician proceeded to rekey 4 locks, which took less than an hour. As far as the technician ( Santiago) he was awesome...knew what he was doing, efficient and was very happy with the end result. Lastly, it cost less than $250...for a new latch mechanism and 4 ( unplanned ) re-keys. I don't often need a locksmith but I won't hesitate to contact Buffum's again or recommend them. read more

Super helpful--I brought a new lock in and they rekeyed it for me on the spot, at a reasonable price. Place was friendly and relaxed.

Great service. Showed up on time and resolved my safe dial issue in a matter of minutes. I bought my long gun safe and have had them do lock work on my house and my rental. Don't waste your time calling anyone else. RRL read more

The best customer service around! Came in at 11:30 on a Saturday to have a few locks keyed alike. Scott (I believe was his name?) was so kind & stayed past normal hours to finish what I needed.

Our family has been customers of Buffum's for over 25 years. I'm not sure what has happened but their customer service is just plain rude and disrespectful. I regret not driving the extra miles to Batteries Plus in Thousand Oaks to be treated properly. read more

Would 100% use Buffums again. They came out to rekey our home and we had a fantastic experience. Santiago and Carson called to let me know they were on their way, were polite and prompt and got the job done quickly. Charged what they had quoted too. Thanks Buffums! read more

I purchased some key FOBS from a reputable online shop that I've purchased before which worked great. I attempted to go to a Locksmith that programmed my first set no problem. This time they couldn't program my FOBS and stated you need to go to the dealership (mind you it's a 2002) I said okay thanks. I contacted Buffum's with my situation and they verified they can do it but will not guarantee the FOBS (understandable). No Long story short here....they did it with no problem and took less than 5 minutes to program. Highly recommend, friendly great bunch of guys. Thank you! read more

Buffum's Safe & Lock - Programming remotes made easy! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Camarillo, California

Dropped off 3 new lock sets I bought at a box store to have them re-keyed. They did the work and called me back about 90min later and said they were done. Friendly staff. Would definitely return if I need anything else done! read more

I called Buffum's Locksmith for my code entry doors. I had a very good sense from my technician. He not only installed the locks, he explained how to change the codes. He told me what hardware to hang on to and why it's hard to change the battery and get it reinstalled. I now call Buffum's even to change my batteries. My installations were tough because I wanted them on security doors that did not have a flat surface. Then the door handle wouldn't fit with the coded handle. The Buffum's man had some brilliant ideas and everything finally worked as good as it could. I'm happy with all of them. read more

I'm so grateful to Buffums. My purse was stolen, house keys and all. I was able to reach Buffums immediately and Scott came right away to meet me at my home. He was able to get me inside, rekey my locks, and even sent someone to rekey the locks at my dad's house, since his key and address were in the stolen purse, too. I could not have felt safer or better taken care of. Thank you, Scott and Buffums!! read more

We were out of town, the state actually, had our dog locked inside the the house, and forgot to leave the key with our neighbor. Frantically calling around we got a recommendation to try Buffum's. What a life saver. Not only did they come out right away but validated our identity before proceeding. Our neighbor was also there saying they were very professional. They are 5 star all day long and best of all, the price was very reasonable. read more

I brought in to the store to have a hitch lock removed from a hitch and to purchase replacement keys for the lock as I misplaced the original keys. I was checked in by a young man that was busy on his personal phone and stated he was to busy to look at my lock then. This was a Friday afternoon around 2pm. He said he would need to look it up the next day which was Saturday and that it would be done for sure by the end of the day on Saturday and he would call me. Saturday came and went no call. So on Monday I returned to the store around 1pm and the hitch is still on the workbench not completed. Allen proceeded to tell me it would cost $65.00 to make new keys and they would not be able to take care of it for another 2-3 days as they would need to look it up on the computer. "The comment was made to just go buy another lock at harbour freight that would save me a bunch of money" The lock at harbour freight would not be the same one but it would be cheaper. It was obvious to me that they did not want to fix my lock. I took the hitch and lock to another store and it was fixed in less that five minutes. The reason that they did not want to fix it was they do not know how to look at the mechanism of the lock. It was a combination screw and post secure lock. They gave terrible service and I was trying to keep my business in Camarillo where I live but this is not the place to provide customer service. Never again will I go to them or recommend this business. read more

Made an appointment for them to come out and fix the lock on my front door. Levi showed up on time and fixed the lock in about 10 minutes. He explained everything he was doing step by step. Very efficient, honest, and polite. I will be using this business for all my locksmith needs in the future. read more

We just moved to Camarillo and needed a locksmith to rekey our front door and garage door. Buffum's sent a great tech out, I believe his name was Daniel. Personable, articulate, skilled and knowledgeable. Did the job in less time than I anticipated in his truck with multiple keys for backup. I appreciated the professionalism and punctuality and highly recommend both the company and the technician they sent. Kudos. read more

Hired Buffums to replace some locks and install a Nest Doorbell. Scott was a total pro, fast, knew the finer points of the Nest installation, friendly, efficient and thorough.

I appreciate the fast and friendly service. I was in a jam on my way to work and you helped me in a timely manner so I wasn't late.

I love supporting local. I had actually had Buffum's come in a couple years ago in Re-key my house.. Really happy with how quickly it was done considering they had about 15 different locks to change it was completed in just a few hours on a Saturday morning.. woo hoo! More recently I had purchased a roof rake for my coop.. it came with a bunch a different locks and being that I like things simple I brought it to Buffums to see if we could change the locks into just 1!! Bought my car in early Friday morning and they changed it out within 30 mins.. The guys down in the office were nice.. got me in and quickly. Definitely recommend. read more

Everyone is so busy these days and I am one of those that are busy. However, I must take this time to recommend Buffums Safe & Lock. I called them because the safety bar on the front door of the office was sticking and some days we could not get it to release so we could go home. I called and a gentleman by the name of Levy Jones came right out. He took a look at it. Immediately ordered the correct unit and he installed it in no time at all. It is such a pleasure to do business with someone that understand the urgency of the problem. I would highly recommend LevyJones the Buffums Safe & lock. read more

Our front door lock would not open with the key. We called Buffums, who came out within 2 hours. Levi was extremely knowledgeable and fixed the lock. We are extremely satisfied and will use Buffums for our future needs. read more

Fantastic experience! I walked into Buffums with a broken safe and no appointment. The 2 guys (one of them is the owner) jumped right in to fix the lock. Nobody in my household could do it, so I was really in a jam, and these guys were not going to quit until they got the safe open. It took about 20 minutes but they did it, smiling the whole way! (I could tell they were smiling even though they had masks on :-) Also, their new shop on Mobile Ave. is beautiful. Highly recommended. Thanks guys! read more

Outstanding All Around Service and Experience!!! Our interior door leading to garage would not open. Called at 8:45... Danny returned my call just after 9. Scott (terrific!!) was here and everything was completed by 10:30. No need to look any further if you need this type of work These are the Guys!! Honest, straight forward, fairly priced for the service provided and we will surely call if ever needed for future work. Thank You! read more
