Daniel is the best. Kind, fast replies, honest as can be. He has done a lot with my house over 10 years. Re-keying, fixing deadbolts and alignment. I had a problem with a deadbolt recently. He fixed it and re-keyed another lock in 20 min. My partner was out of town and it was so nice to have a familiar person to let into my home. Highly recommend. He gave me a souvenir tiny cute lock key chain too!

Daniel is so amazing and accommodating. Very kind with excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

A HERO IN LOCKSMITH'S CLOTHING!! I locked myself out of my apartment while grabbing an amazon package. I called around locksmiths from my neighbor's phone, and Daniel was the only one who picked up right away, was kind and reassuring, and estimated less than 2 hours to arrive at my apartment in Oakland. Daniel came to the rescue! He arrived within 20 minutes, and may I say - this man clearly has experience with how people are feeling (spoiler alert: anxious and embarrassed) when they are locked out of their homes especially with pets inside - he knew exactly the right things to say and do to make me feel better. I was very confused about how I could possibly lock myself out, since the only locking mechanism I ever use is a deadbolt lock - my understanding of that kind of lock, is that it's impossible to accidentally lock yourself out . So, I was very nervous ... in my mind while I was waiting for Daniel to arrive, my imagination was carrying me away. Was it possible someone had ducked inside my apartment while I was literally 20 feet away, and locked the door from the inside? Daniel told me not to worry, he has never seen that kind of thing happen, and if it did he would be there with me. Just in case, he knocked loudly on the door and called out to ask if there was someone inside. Luckily, he did some diagnostics and confirmed that it was a broken lever catch on the door handle. I was SO relieved, you have no idea! He fixed it within minutes, and even gave my cat some pets when startled by the sound of the power drill/screwdriver. Daniel the Locksmith has a fan and customer for life (although I hope not to be a frequent customer ..) HIGHLY recommended, would give 10 stars if I could !!

Business card is on point!

Daniel was on time, prompt and thorough. He replaced a few locks and adjusted a few others. He was pleasant and communicated well.

Yesterday we were at my brother in law's home on Greenwood. He has had a stroke and hasn't been…read morethere for quite sometime and we were there to see what needed to be done. As you can imagine it was an emotional time. Upon trying to enter, we found the lock on the back door wasn't working and we weren't able to enter. Fearing that because we weren't the owners, a locksmith would not help us, we contacted the realtor who was able to provide your company with the necessary documentation. Your technician, Edgar, was dispatched and arrived quickly. He was able to diagnose the problem, repair the lock and open the door. I'm sure that to you, that is his job description but to us, he was a life saver. We had driven 2 1/2 hours to get there. The purpose of this long email is to commend Edgar for his expertise and kindness. He worked quickly all the while explaining the problem. Once he had repaired the lock, he spent the time to go over the fine points of the locking mechanism. Above and beyond repairing the lock, Edgar's kindness and positive attitude made this difficult day so much better. Thank you.

Warning: Lockology Locksmith (Bay Area) lacks T1N SKREEM programming capability / predatory…read morepractices I apparently need to post a warning to T1N owners . My 2006 Sprinter threw the"Start Error" code after i had a clueless locksmith (#1) clone a spare key. Knowing it was a " rolling-code mismatch between the ECU and the SKREEM/WSP module" , I called Lockology (locksmith #2) and explicitly stated that I needed on-site module resynchronization/EEPROM pairing. They sent out a tech named Ori who clearly didn't have the diagnostic tooling or the knowledge required for "offline variant coding" on the older K-line Mercedes network. Instead of admitting he couldn't do the job, he just cut a mechanical key , acknowledged my start error didn't go away , threatened to CALL THE COPS if the full quote to fix my Start Error wasn't paid (originally 560$..) , played the victim crying that he had been here longer than he planned only to be compassionate offering a 10% discount .$450 (Invoice #26411) .. You talk about a 4' tall snake. Big surprise, the Start Error is still flashing, and Sprinter still completely immobilized. Dispatch and tech took advantage of the situation knowing full well a physical key cut wouldn't resolve a hard immobilizer code loop. Save your money . What these guys offer together with 25 cents might get you a cup of coffee.

By 8:45 PM, we were still in the parking lot and the key was not working. Because I had a flight to catch early the next morning, I suggested that we stop and put everything back together. However, he encouraged me to allow him to continue programming the key. He told me if he put the pieces back my car would be loud and the alarm would keep setting off. He finally completed the work on Monday, and my father picked up my car on my behalf since I was out of the country. When I returned and got my car back, there were components that had not been reassembled. In addition, new issues had developed: 3 of 4 windows no longer roll down, and the driver's side door no longer locks properly. I now have to lock the car by opening the rear door and manually pushing down the lock. I attempted to replace the window fuses, which temporarily restored function, but the fuse now shorts every time the windows are used. The driver's door continues to malfunction, never fixed that part. He was very nice and clearly works hard; however, I wish that if he was unable to program the key, he had communicated that upfront rather than continuing to work on my vehicle. This process resulted in several hours of lost time, significant expense, and additional damage to my car. I have now paid $740 for this service and will need to go to the dealership to address the issues caused, with no way of knowing what the additional repair costs will be. I have been told by him that I need to travel to Hayward or Oakland, but I live in Sunnyvale. As a single mother of two, it is extremely difficult to find the time to make these trips, especially after already spending days previously waiting while the issue was unresolved. As a business owner, taking payment for work that resulted in further damage rather than a solution has made this an unfortunate and highly inconvenient experience.
