Super friendly and prompt. Gets the job done quickly. Would highly recommend his services to anyone.

I found Chris Richards in an online search. He had a nice website and impressive Yelp reviews. What I liked best about Chris was he was extremely careful, fairly priced, and his excellent workmanship (his experience really comes through in his work). This doorknocker that he installed would not be easy for anyone to do, but he installed it perfectly and never complained once about the difficulty of the job. A real pleasure. Thank you again Chris!!! Knock, knock....who's there? Maybe it will be Chris if you're lucky! read more

Ive worked with Chris for years. He is helpful every single time. More often than not he has the job completed on the first trip. His prices are always fair. read more

Writing this review exactly 45 minutes after calling Chris. Told him the problem, he was at my house in the 30 minutes he said it would take to get here, 10 minutes to fix the lock and 5 minutes to pay and say thanks. Prompt, honest and professional. Couldn't have had a better experience. Thanks Chris! read more

Chris Richards was great to work with! Quick, efficient, fair price. I needed my front and back doors rekeyed - he was able to come the same day I called, was prompt, very helpful & kind. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a locksmith. read more

Chris was recommended by our realtor and he was fantastic! He showed up on time and did a great job. Changed a lock, two knobs, and made them all the same key in less than an hour. One of the doors hadn't closed properly and he even fixed it! He gave me 4 copies of the key and it was a great price - less than $175 for everything. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Excellent and prompt service at a fair price. Provided me with 3 copies of the key and even labeled them for me : ) Thank you Chris!!!

For whatever reason I seem to get a lot of random power outages. I didn't get a key for the emergency release of the garage door when I moved in. Chris answered right away gave a time window and was right on time. Less than an hour later I have two working keys for the emergency release. I couldn't recommend Chris enough such an easy professional experience!! read more

Chris is a genius, craftsman, Jack of all Trades... I hired him to come out to do several locks, same key. He came out right away, fixed everything I needed, made me copies and made keys for my neighbors who needed them. He installed hard to find locks on an old desk drawer and even made my entry door stop sticking. I love people like Chris, reliable, communicative, efficient, reasonable, and he solved every problem I had. He never once told me no, he looked for the lock I needed, ordered it and came back two days later to install. He's also kind, friendly, and prompt with his invoices and receipts which is important. He is very professional and good at his job. I can see why his business name is his name, it's all about who this guy is and not what he does. Kind people are everything!! read more

I contact Chris to fix my lock. Chris is Honest, Excellent service ,schedule meeting on time, Fair price. I will definitely recommend. read more

Chris came out almost immediately, and solved a serious security problem. He was great to work with, and his prices are very reasonable.

I had Chris out last week to change the locks on a new commercial property my family recently purchased. He answers this phone (shocking these days), was on time and professional. I've used other companies for similar work in the East Bay and Chris' rates are very reasonable. I'd highly recommend Chris for your locksmith needs. read more

Excellent service, and fair pricing. Quick to resolve issues with doorknobs and locks at my home, and had supplies w/to do so while there. Would highly recommend! read more

What a wonderful experience we had with Chris Richards re-keying our new home! His communication was prompt and clear, his work thorough and thoughtful, and his prices completely reasonable and fair. We did have a couple of door knobs to change out, but instead of trying to upsell us on his own hardware, he helped us to identify the brand and exact color of what we had in other parts of our house so we could get an exact match. Truly professional service. read more

Called Chris on the recommendation of all the great reviews he's received. Answered our call immediately and came to fix our front door lock that afternoon. Needed to order parts and provided a temporary doorknob until parts arrived. He received the needed parts and called us immediately and fixed by the afternoon. Fantastic service, great communication, and a job well done! read more

Chris is great, reliable, competent, honest, reasonable. He showed up with a mask on ready to fix my door, was able to get the job done quickly. Really nice guy !!! Don't hesitate to call him. read more

Chris helped me with replacing some old door locks. He is very professional, reliable and knows what he is doing. Highly recommended!

Chris was great, he came out looked at what was needed to fix the lock on our warehouse door. He ordered parts came back and installed all on a handshake agreement. He charged a fair price and was very professional. Thanks Chris! read more

Showed up within a few hours of my call, got the job done and done right. He also only charged me for a re-key even though he had to change the cylinder, since he didn't have the right blank to make a new key for my existing lock. And, his re-key charge was just a bit more than half of other's estimates. His first effort didn't work correctly and I called him back as he was leaving - he returned and cheerfully made it right. (the problem was not predictable; anyone would have gotten the same result and needed to put the extra time in). Overall, good service at a great price. He did forget to email me the receipt that he promised, and I had to call him to remind, but I consider that minor, and I'm giving him 5 stars anyway. .. .:-)) read more

Oh would give him 10 stars if I could Chris is great. He responded immediately. He is very professional He fixed my French doors and I very much appreciate his prompt expert services. Thank you Chris! read more

Chris is an excellent locksmith! He is a good communicator, efficient, and knowledgable. I've used him twice and he has done a fantastic job each time and charges a very reasonable price. Can't recommend highly enough - thanks Chris! read more

Cordial. Professional. Prompt. Quality service and was very flexible for my request. I called on behalf of my mother-in-law who locked herself out from her car and AAA was unable to service her request. After calling around, came across Chris and he was able to do it! Highly recommended! read more

I contacted Chris and he responded quickly and kindly. He was able to fit in a service call the next day (which was great, as it was urgent but definitely not an emergency). Notably, he had no problem working on sliding glass doors; multiple other locksmiths I contacted stated that they do not work on them at all. Chris was able to make my sliding glass door operable, and ordered the parts needed for a more permanent fix. I had another locksmith out the day prior, who wasn't able to provide any fix, temporary or otherwise. Chris was professional, fair, affordable, kind and importantly, extremely skilled, knowledgeable and resourceful. I highly recommend contacting Chris when you need a locksmith. I wouldn't hesitate to call him for any future lock/key issues. read more

Had Chris to come out and troubleshoot a lock inside of our house. I asked him to mask up since I'm immunocompromised since the issue was inside our home (as opposed to last time it was the front door) and he said he wouldn't. I inquired as to why and he said he "was over it". He was not unfriendly, but was firm with his boundary and said I could call someone else. After an internal on-the-spot debate with myself (since we haven't had direct access to our garage for 10 days) I decided to leave my front door open for ventilation, mask and turn a fan in his direction toward the front door. I took other mitigating measures after he left by spraying lysol and wiping down the work area. In fairness, he did get the job done efficiently. If you want a locksmith to mask in your home-be advised. read more

I called Chris yesterday and he came within 30 minutes. Locked myself out of the house, power went out so garage couldn't open. I highly recommend! read more

Chris was on time, respectful and took care of all our locks. Other locksmiths had told us what we wanted was impossible, but he took care of it without breaking a sweat. Very happy with this service and highly recommend. read more

Yessss! I'm so happy to find someone who is not only responsive but goes above and beyond when they get to the site. Chris came to install a code lock on our back gate and did all the research ahead of time to let us know what the best product on the market was. He purchased it and brought it with him, billing us later, so that it was hassle-free for me. Later, when I needed help programming the device, he even came back to make sure the task was completed and I was happy. I'd highly recommend him... he's personable and reliable. We will certainly use him again. read more

Door lock broke, found Chris in Yelp, he popped over and fixed it quickly. Reasonable rates. Really nice guy. We've been looking for a new locksmith and he's it! read more

Showed up without a mask on time and I was waiting outside with my family and he literally looked at us and drove away! We gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he would return as our window was 3-4pm and he never returned or responded to numerous phone calls from myself and my husband. Didn't even call back, return any messages. It was majorly inconvenient on moving day, as I was waiting for him and could have been assisting with the rest of the move which was stressful enough. This is definitely not someone I would trust with rekeying my house, very unprofessional. read more

I contacted Chris Richards through the Yelp messaging. He was quick to reply and thorough.
