I used Element Locksmith to replace my Honda Accord smart key. They copied my factory key for half the price of the dealership. The work was super fast (15 minutes) and they came to my location. Amazing service; they were available at all hours anytime I called: weekday, weekend, day or night. I highly recommend them and plan to use them again! read more

I had the joy of discovering I locked my keys in my car on a Sunday morning. My joy was tripled when I realized I left my spare key in a different state (I just moved to Seattle). Since it was a Sunday, all of the nearby places were closed (I'm in Shoreline). I saw Element had great reviews, so I gave them a call. The guy who came out was really friendly and had my car door opened quickly. The only thing thing was that it was pretty pricey. To be fair, he came all the way to Shoreline and he was really efficient. Also, I don't know what comparable rates in the area are since I'm new here, although in my home state I once had a locksmith unlock my car for $30, which is probably much lower than average. Bottom line: great service, efficient and fast. The only downside was the price. I suggest if you are a grad student like me, or just living on a tighter budget, call around to get quotes first. Make sure the quotes include any charge for travel. If budget isn't as much of a concern, call these guys. read more

Yoni is very nice and professional. He was quick and efficient. The only surprise was the $25 travel fee. I'm very happy with the service

I didn't even realize my bedroom had a lock until I locked myself out of it! Oops. Luckily Element was open on a Sunday and sent Justin out within an hour. He valiantly fought my screwed-up, improperly-installed lock and re keyed it. Thanks Justin! read more

Q. Was just here to save the day. Made me two new keys and even helped jump start my car. He was prompt, courteous, affordable and absolutely helpful! Would use this company again. read more

These guys were great. Came in 20 min. and had me back on the road in no time (locked gas cap I didn't have a key for). If I have any problems in the future I know who to call for sure. Thank you so much for your help! read more

After my last locksmith experience with a different company that was terrible, I was hesitant to try another company. I looked for my lost key in the dark for hours and attempted to scale my balcony before deciding to call. So glad that I did - Yoni is great! Crazy fast response time in my case and job done in less than 5 min. Very upfront about price which I also very much value. Hopefully I don't have to use their services again but if I do at least I know I am in good hands. Thank you! read more

Locked my only set of keys in the car. Called for help and someone actually answered! A service respondent called me to confirm my location immediately following my call. Within 10 minutes, Justine came to my rescue. Great service! Profession and speedy service. Operator and serviceman were very courteous. Justine's awesome!!! read more

This company takes advantage of the horrible situation you are in. They charge you a ridiculous amount for less than 5 minutes of work. The worker was rude and and showed up nearly an hour after their promised eta. I highly recommend looking at other services prior to this. read more

When I lost my keys a few months ago, I panicked. I'm really glad I know about Yelp. I chose Element based upon the very high praise of other Yelpers. I should mention first that I tried to pick the ignition lock with a paper click, and it ruined the ignition. Embarrasing, I know. Anyway, he arrived very, very fast, and installed a new ignition and cut and programmed 2 microchipped keys for me in an unbelievably short amount of time. Other Seattle locksmiths I called (I'm cheap, I called a lot) wanted twice as much money for the same service. He was very professional, and took time to explain to me why a paperclip will never, ever start a vehicle with a microchipped key :) If I ever need locksmith services again, there is no question I will go with these guys. Thank you! read more

Amazed by the service from these guys. Others had mentioned they are the best in the state, and it certainly felt that way. My guy was so friendly that we ended up drinking a cup of coffee in my house as he recharged his equipment to finish the job. I've stored their phone number and made them my go-to locksmith for any future emergency. Great team. read more

Best locksmith service ever! Justin the technician was extremely nice and professional. He was determined to make me a new key from scratch! Keep In mind it was 1am in the morning and not once did he complain or give up. He made sure the key worked and didn't leave until he and I were both satisfied. When someone genuinely wants to help, it makes all the difference. Highly recommended to anyone needing locksmith services! read more

I couldn't get the key to turn in my deadbolt. I called Element and they were able to send a locksmith to my door within 10 minutes. Once there, Justin fixed the lock in no time. Great work, I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone needing a lock fixed! read more

These guys showed up faster than estimated and made quick work of my PT cruiser. I was back on the road in minutes. Courteous service and really quick. Highly recommended. read more

We called Justin late at night because we had locked ourselves out of our place. Justin came over quickly and was very efficient and got us into our house in less than 5 minutes. His price was very fair and he had great customer service skills. Would highly recommend him and would gladly use his services again! read more

Locked out of car. They were super fast and very friendly! Really fantastic!! Call them in a jam. This review took forever and he stood on the rain to make sure got on the road ok! read more

So amazing. Justin was fast and helpful and didn't make me feel like an idiot for locking myself out. I really appreciated how quick they responded read more

Nick saved the day and promptly had a key made after the original was lost!

Had to break my door frame to get into my apartment and could not leave my place. Eric showed up in 30 min, fixed the door reinforced it with a metal plate and all within an hour and a half. I had time to do my errands and get to work on time. Very friendly and very fast and good work. read more

Element Locksmith - The damage I did!!! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Avoid this guy - they are up to no good! - The owner going by the name Yonee or Yani charged me for new parts (as shown on invoice) but the parts using heavily used / salvaged parts from what looks like was a junkyard. I contacted him about this discrepancy to which he said I was mistaken -then he had an "oh yeah - I may have used salvaged parts....admitting this factor - but then began tried offering me a discount for 'as-is' work - When I refused asking for brand new parts to be used he told me he had no memory of me as a customer and that I would need to go through his lawyer which he said he would deny ever doing services for me -- clearly he is about games, shortcuts as a businessman while lacking ethics as a provider of security. I will be filing a lawsuit against them. read more

Great work... Came early and did the job without a mess. Definitely approved said my goats.

Element provided fast and reliable service after we had a break-in and needed to rekey our locks. Very professional. Justin was fast, efficient and really knew his stuff. Highly recommended. read more

this guy is great. I've called him twice and both times he's been to my house within 10 minutes when I've locked myself out. very polite and professional. highly recommend! read more

I lost my motorcycle key. I was told i'd "have to take the ignition cylinder out" to get a key made. The first locksmith I called who had mobile service told me he could be over in an hour--at a cost of $350. Another quoted $230. Finally I got ahold of Element. They wouldn't quote me a price over the phone, but I figured I had to have the key made anyway, at any cost. The guy who came over, Roy, decoded my ignition and made me two keys, all in about half an hour. Very friendly guy. Total cost $160. read more

Nick came by to make another key for my car this morning. He went above and beyond to be of help and was so friendly the whole time. Thanks nick!!! read more

They were super responsive and showed up within 40mins of me calling them on a Sunday. Justin is a master when it comes to picking and rekeying the locks. He was in the unit within 10 minutes and rekeyed the lock in another 10. I had new set of keys quickly. He even made extra copies for no charge. These guys are awesome. Highly recommend them! read more

I recommend Element Locksmith for car lockouts. I accidentally locked my key in my car, and Yoni was helpful and quick in helping me get it out. He arrived at my car within 30 minutes, even before I arrived! Best of all, he gave me a flat rate quote upfront, when I called, and I felt it was a fair price. Not like the other locksmith companies that said they couldn't give me a price upfront. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet, just like my experience with Element Locksmith. Yani called when he said he was going to call (to confirm); showed up when he said he was going to show up (within a few hours of my first calling him); did what he said he was going to do (replace and re-key a busted deadbolt); and charged what he said he was going to charge (a very fair amount). All that I could ask for! read more

Purchased a 2012 Toyota Corolla. Needed extra key cut and programmed. Transponder key with remote. Called,got quick appointment. Yoni showed up promptly. Accurate and detailed work. Double checked to make sure everything worked. Charged just what quoted on phone. Very professional. Love this small business. Have already recommended to several family members. read more

Quick, helpful and professional service! Really helped me out when my key wouldn't open my car doors!

Incredible job!!! Great Customer service! Professional Locksmith! I needed to have a mailbox re-keyed. I called Element and they were incredibly polite and professional on the call, taking me through the cost and offering up some available times. This, for me, is the first sign that the service is going to be great. And it was. Then, Justin came over. He was right on time and very professional. He had the job done and cleaned up within 10mins. Pretty amazing! I think we have found our source for all things locked for years to come. read more

Found Yoni right here on Yelp. He was reliable, professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

I was in a rush to exit my car, and sure enough... left the keys in the ignition and locked the door! Called Element Locksmith and within 20 minutes they showed up, popped my lock, and processed my payment. It was the most friendly and hassle free experience I could've asked for. Yoni, you rock! read more

I used Element locksmith based on their high reviews for an emergency lock-out service. Granted, it was on a Sunday but the guy showed up late and it was expensive -- $100 for a 5 minute job. It earns a firm "meh" from me. read more

I unfortunately lost my backpack which had my only set of car keys in it. I called up Element Locksmith/Yoni on Friday afternoon and got a very nice competitive quote over the phone. We set up an appointment within a few hours and he even called me an hour before the appointment time to confirm. He showed up to my apartment on time and was very professional and timely in his work. You can tell he is very experienced at his job and knows what he's doing. Since I was missing my car manual, we had to download a new set of keycodes online and program the key appropriately, which was done without any issues. After he completed making the key, we tested everything out which worked perfectly and even provided a extra key for the car doors. I definitely appreciated how quickly he was able to show up to my place and I would definitely recommend Yoni for any other key work needed for houses and apartments. I for sure will call Element for any future needs. read more

Wow. Called on a Friday morning after our company van had been broken into badly. They promptly came out and quoted us the fix. We went ahead with it and the worker Justin was quick and got our vans lock replaced and ignition replaced. Ended up paying the exact quoted price and everything is working again. Seriously couldn't be happier. read more

Eric was very nice. Locked out because I couldn't find the keys after our cruise. The key was made and we were finally able to head home . Thank you so much for having this service. read more

Great job. Very professional and did good work, will use them again if necessary. Justin was courteous and efficient and polite.

Great service! Reprogrammed my ecu and made new keys. Will come back to them if I lose my keys again! Recommend them

I called Element Locksmith for an emergency re-key for my house at 2pm on Dec 24, fully expecting an extra holiday fee, if I could even get them to come out. They were to my house in Renton within 15 minutes and the re-key was done within an hour of my initial call. The final price was exactly what he estimated over the phone, and it was completely reasonable. I hope not to need another locksmith anytime soon, but if I do I will definitely be calling Element Locksmith again! read more
