During a painting project last January I decided to replace my old EMTEK front door lock assembly…read morethat was not working well. I figured my best shot at success was Rex Key & Security in Berkeley, CA. I had never been there before. I think they must have everything lock related and the most knowledge people I have ever met to help. They found a lock assembly for me and had it shipped. Unfortunately it was not an exact replacement and to acquire an exact replacement was more $$$. Why this review? Perhaps when you have a need for a speciality part you will think of these people or just go there and see their shop. It is amazing. If your business will require extra time as my visit did they may even let you park in their lot.

I called around and realized that opening a safe is not cheap. So I did some more searching and came across Sunshine Lock & Safe and spoke to Mr. Avi.

Thank you Mr. Avi for your prompt service!

Daniel = Brilliant…read more We were having problems with a newly installed front door handle and lock. I found Daniel online. When I called, he answered immediately and scheduled a visit for the next morning. When he arrived (on time), I swear he had the problem analyzed before he got up the front steps and made the appropriate repair in minutes. Highly recommended.

I really appreciated his honesty and restraint -- it would have been easy to suggest a replacement, but he chose the practical, cost-effective solution. He was right on time, highly communicative, and completely transparent about both pricing and timing from the start. No surprises, no pressure -- just straightforward professionalism. He was also incredibly considerate (he took off his shoes before coming into our home without even being asked), and genuinely friendly throughout the visit. I'm usually a little suspicious when I see a long string of 5-star reviews on Yelp... but in this case, they're absolutely deserved. This is what great service and real expertise look like. Highly recommend.

Not only was he communicative with me, he was also kind and chatted with me while he worked. If i can give him more stars i would as my dog was freaking out on him for stranger danger.

Oh and for those who are environmental enthusis, re rexycles your old keys. Love it! If you need someone for door service, look no futher. He's the one.

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.
