It seems one of the newer technicians came to my apartment to open my screen and front door, both are the same lock. The screen was open in five minutes. The door however, he had trouble with for about 45 minutes. I'm not sure what he was doing, but he then approached me and said " it looks like the only way to avoid damage to the door is to break the lock" and I said that was fine. He then broke the lock and had it open right away, but I immediately noticed the wood was split and when he offered to replace the lock for $40 I said hell no and pointed out the damage. I call back a few days later to explain the situation and the answer I got was "why did you take so long to call back? I don't believe it was me who did the damage it must have already been like that." Even his boss kept talking over me and told me if he wasn't "a nasty guy and he did his job" then he doesn't see the problem. He also said "we charge about $60 less than other places so he gave you a deal as well" and I said I would have gladly paid someone who knew what they were doing in order to not have to pay for a damaged door. Never have I encountered such an inexperienced, unsympathetic locksmith. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. read more

See all

Thank you for saving the day. This is my go to for lock problems. Very professional and always on time.

Great friendly service very clean fast work thank you! Thank you dr. Lock look forward to doing business with you again in the future

Dr. Lock was fast and convenient. I highly recommend his services if you find yourself locked out.

seriously call this guy!!! Fast friendly and total expert locksmith!!! Took less than 15 minutes to get to use and was able to get door open within 2 minutes!!! read more

It is such a relief when you find someone honest and efficient when you are in such a vulnerable spot. So thankful for Yuvals services! I was locked out of my car (how does that even happen!!) and Yuval came to the rescue in very short time! He was able to unlock my car in minutes and was very reasonably priced! Thank you again! read more

Dr. lock helped me out when I was locked out of my condo downtown after hours. We have a complicated electronic locking system on our doors. He was able to help me get in very quickly. Nobody else could do so. He helped greatly, as I was locked out late with 2 dogs. I would most definitely highly recommend his services. read more

They came out right away and took care of business. Guy was nice and informative and did good clean work. Highly recommend.

Was visiting family for Thanksgiving. Their oven wasn't working so a neighbor kindly gave us access to her house while she was out of town so we could cook there instead. And... I locked the neighbor's house key in the house and we couldn't get in. With food cooking in the oven. Yikes! Found Dr. Lock and he was there in 15 minutes. Fortunately only a few things were slightly overcooked (oh, and we didn't burn down the neighbor's house). Dr. Lock could have charged us an arm and a leg, but his price was very reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

Arrived within 20 minutes of calling. Quick and professional + friendly. Great choice if you're in need of a locksmith.

Dr. Lock came to the rescue from another lock company we were dealing with. We had a pedestrian gate that broke on a condo complex and all of the tenants were complaining about the broken handle allowing anybody to get in. He showed up on time, very courteous, and determined what needed to be fixed. He had everything with him and when he realized he needed on more thing, he went and got it and fixed the gate in a timely fashion. He also notice something else that was broken, and fixed that too at no additional charge. I would use him again and would definitely recommend him to others. read more

Quick response, affordable price, and prompt and courteous service. I would use again if I had to.

Dr. Lock is the best! I messaged on Yelp to get a quote from 7 different locksmiths and he got to me the fastest and was the most reasonably priced! His work was fast and efficient. He was also able to come within a reasonable time frame, gave me a one hour span and showed up during that time. Very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this company! read more

Excellent customer service!!! Immediate support, affordable pricing, and efficient service. Highly recommend to friends and Yelp community!!! read more

Getting ready to head out and then of course, I lock my keys in my car. Called another locksmith and they had me wait over a hour for no one to show up! Called Yuval and he immediately headed out to me and arrived exactly on the time he told me. Very respectful and polite throughout the short time he was here. Highly recommend!! Hopefully I will never have to see you again but you will be the first call if I do! read more

I was happy to be introduced to Yuval through another locksmith company. He was timely to my home, quoted a fair price to replace my locks, and finished within an hour from start to finish. Thank you!! read more

I highly do not recommend anyone attempting to get a new key or have them reprogram their keys. Their customer service is over text and they show little to no respect about your needs. The guy who helped me took 2 hours because his system was slow and also forgot to unlock my car trunk from the front seat. They don't allow refunds no matter what reason and have little experience dealing with car locks and customer service. Incredibly ridiculous how they handle their business. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE for any reason. WORST locksmith company I ever had! read more

Got there very quickly and was able to open the door without any damages. Definitely recommend thank you!!

My friend got locked out and he came to solve the problems really quick. He is helpful and tries to help as fast as possible which helps my friend because she has a busy schedule. read more

I accidentally locked my keys in my car and needed to get to my appointment in a hurry. Gave Dr. Lock a call and they came out promptly. Got me on my way in less then 15 min. Great service and very quick. read more

The tech was on time,very polite,and changed all the locks to our new condo within an hour, i'd highly recommend for a straight forward and efficient service, thank you. read more

Great service! As a business owner in downtown I needed my locks changed right away and they came within an hour! Great rates and very knowledgable. read more

This is the second time I've used this company, this time to install a single sided deadbolt and to rekey one of my door locks. This time I worked with Yuval. He was very friendly, professional and technically knowledgeable at this craft. He came out and took care of the job promptly. He is very serviced oriented and likes to do whatever it takes to get the job done. He even came back to put some finishing touches on some of the interior wood which had accidentally been sheared away at no added cost. I know that I can depend on him and his business partner to get whatever I need done right. Trustworthy also. I would recommend these guys for your lock needs. read more

My kids and I got locked out so I turned to yelp and found amazing reviews. Yuval arrived quick, unlocked my door without damage, and without any hidden fees. Thanks Yuval & yelpers for peace of mind. read more

Initially had a negative experience with the locksmith that came. However, the manager, did everything to make it right and had great customer service. read more

The service was great and fast . Must try. This guy came fast and opened my car for less than $80. Years will sure use home again.

Funny guy, quick services!! I was desperate to get in so i really appreciated it especially cause its cold out

Great service, always answered calls. Did a great job installing our lock. We would recommend and use again without question.

The guy came on time, was super efficient, extremely courteous and respectful, totally hooked me up with a great price. In and out in less than 5 mins. Would totally recommend him, he knows what he is doing and truly has a heart to serve. 5+ stars! read more

Came quick (within 20 minutes). Was $19 just to come out and $159 to open the lock, which he told me would require cosmetic damage to my front door unless I was willing to pay even more. Because the price already seemed steep, I chose the more inexpensive option and will now have to deal with it looking like I had a break-in to all of my prospective tenants, splintered wood etc. I was told only to expect 'some scratches.' I had all four of my locks re-keyed on my condo 2 days ago and it was $95 for the entire service with Busy Bee. Out of curiosity I called Busy Bee once this locksmith left and they charge $75 flat rate to come out and for the service, but were not available for 3 hours. It would have been worth the wait. read more

Dr Lock is the top choice! The owner is the #1 guy, fully dedicated professional who will make sure everything is fixed perfectly. He stands by his work and takes pride in doing things right. Unlike other locksmiths he is easy to reach and highly responsive. read more

Dr. Lock did a fantastic job assisting me in my lock issues. Yuva really takes pride in his work and you can see it in his attitude. He is a no hassle, very down to earth tech and I highly recommend him. read more

Very impressed! Dr. Lock was efficient, fast, and very friendly. Got the job done and gave me some extra tips on how to stay secure in my apartment. Would highly recommend their services! read more

Everything u have stated is not true! I've been @ this residence since 1994. This is NOT the 1st lock that I have had replaced. U were rude from the moment I attempted 2 explain the problems with the lock. The problem is NOT the distance between the exterior door & the security door. All the other condos have the same distance on their doors. The problem was with the type of lock u installed. U installed a room lock with a knob, instead of a security door lock with a handle, which is the type of lock u removed. Common sense would dictate that u install the same type of lock. When the locks kept hitting each other bcuz of the wrong type of lock u installed, ur remedy was 2 make a hole on the exterior door. Who does that? When I arrived home on ur 2nd attempt 2 remedy ur mess, u greeted me by rudely telling me, "the enemy is here"! U proceeded 2 embarrass & disrespect me in front of my boyfriend, who IS NOT the homeowner. I am the homeowner. U told me that I had been aggressive with u via text. I was being assertive, not agressive, bcuz u kept blaming ur lousy work on the installation of my doors. U didn't want 2 fix ur mess. I also saw u on Facebook partying, when u said u had 2 cancel bcuz u had a huge job 2 finish. Guess ur partying was the "huge job". U continued disrespecting me & looking @ my boyfriend, while u were laughing @ me. I repeatedly told u 2 address me, the homeowner. U even asked my boyfriend if we were still together bcuz u liked him & wanted 2 party with him! This is the 2nd time that u have propositioned my boyfriend in front of me, again disrespecting me. My boyfriend told u we were together & u said, "2 bad"! He also told u he liked women, not men! Any woman would have gotten upset with u 4 that. U told me that u were an attorney. That's when I told u that I was aware of my rights & would contact the appropriate State agencies 2 file a complaint against u. U later called 2 apologize 2 me bcuz u said my review was affecting ur business. To date, the lock u installed is loose, still hits the other lock causing damage 2 it, the material u put 2 repair the hole never hardened & the security door pops open when I unlock it! U charged me $240 for a VERY UNSATISFACTORY job, which will cost me more $ 2 hire a competent locksmith 2 repair ur work! I am now contemplating suing u in Sml Claims Crt 4 all the aforementioned! read more

We just extended our office, adding a new suite and Uval came and replaced all 5 locks within one hour. He was very helpful and the pricing was perfect for us. I'd recommend them and definitely use them again. read more

Brandon did an excellent job in rekeying two locks. He showed up in a timely manner and I would use him again.

Driving through San Diego I got locked out of my car and my phone battery was running out. Dr. Lock showed up within 18 minutes, and really saved me. He also told me what went wrong with the locking mechanism so it won't happen again. Pricing was fair. I had to write a review because I really didn't know how to pick a locksmith without these review. read more

Locked keys in a 2013 Honda Pilot / no appointment / wait-time 40 min before arrival. Yuval was professional and completed the work in a timely manner. Higher cost than expected, but still got my keys out of the car in a timely manner. Recommend Yuval specifically due to his honesty and determined work ethic to get the job done quickly. read more
