EXCELLENT service and repair; professional, friendly, KNOWLEDGEABLE and simply superior in all areas! Kenny came to help us "open the door accessing the garage", which is the MAJOR door used in our home! He removed a completely destroyed locking mechanism, replaced it with a new lock set and went above and beyond improving the security of the lock system! Kenny checked everything, making sure it would last well into the future, adding extra long screws to totally secure the lock, and even explained how and what was being done. Kenny is really good at making it all interesting and informational! He has the best customer service ever, and ANYONE who needs a locksmith NEEDS TO CALL Family Security Locksmith! Not only did we get the best service and a really great technician, but the price was great too! Kenny offered options of payment, and even asked if we had any questions. This was one of the BEST service experiences we have had, and when we need a locksmith we WILL call Family Security Locksmith! Thank you Kenny! read more

See all

Fast friendly service from my neighbors inn Martinez. I got locked out of my apartment chasing my fur baby whom ran out the door only to find out the door locked behind me. So lucky I had my phone and wallet and searched for locksmiths in the area. Called Family Security and got Kenny. Was very nice from the start after I explained my situation. He said he's 15 mins away. What could be better. Gave me a very fair rate so I hired him. 15 mins later at my building. Got him in the security door and a short walk to my apartment. In no time he lock picked my door and I couldn't of been happier. Once we got in he offered to cut me 2 keys at no additional charge. Best service ever. Fair, honest, fast and friendly. read more

Used Family Security Locksmith for our business yesterday. We had a problem with a Master disc lock. It was jammed up somehow and would not open with any of the keys. We were stuck, not able to get our tools out. Luckily, We made the right call and Kenneth and Kenny came out. The lock was in a security lock box and we could not get to it to pick or drill it out. They were able to come up with a solution and we were in our container within minutes. Thanks Guys! read more

Kenny Jr. did an excellent job installing new hardware and video doorbell at our home. This is the second time we had service JFL. Ken, Sr. helped with a locked bedroom door a while ago. Anyway, Jr. is very, very professional, efficient, communicative and competent. He is clearly prideful about his work and the results prove true to that ethic. They are responsive and committed to being punctual or updating you on delays. Jr. called me three times to keep me posted o his ETA. Then, came back the next day to finish the job and that wasn't easy. I highly recommend JFL. read more

Father Ken answered my call at 5:30pm yesterday, shopped for exactly what I needed, and then father and son Kinny showed up 9am today and installed the locks to keep my autistic kid safely inside instead of bolting/eloping into traffic! Courteous, polite, empathetic and understanding! They were $100+ cheaper than companies with 200-300+ reviews! If you have an autistic or mentally ill or loved one with Alzheimers, consider double deadbolt locks with keys. Have a solid fire escape plan. Make extra keys. (Ken and Kinny made us copies.) Highly recommend this duo! read more

These guys are AMAZING! I called them on a Monday night at my office around 5:30pm after business hours and they came the same day within 30 minutes to help me with my urgent needs! Not only were they timely, but they were also extremely friendly, professional and experts in their field. If you need help with locks (and I'm sure they do more) you should call them immediately! Thanks Kenneth and Kenny! You guys were awesome! Keep up the great work! read more

great company to deal with great service will do business again the best service in Martinez CA

After spending about two hours locked out of my house and trying my best at breaking in, I gave Family Security a call. They were on the scene about 20 minutes after the phone call and got me in the door within the next three. The keys were on the counter. If you're looking for a quick response and respectful service, I recommend Family Security Locksmith. read more

AMAZING! Fast, friendly and courteous oh and wait affordable! Kenny was the best! You would think we were old family friends. I was in a bind and he came to the rescue in less than an hour. 1000% would recommend this company. You won't be disappointed with their service. read more

They assisted me a few months ago with re-keying my mailbox. They were very fast and friendly and got me up and running!

This guy is a gem. He has a truck that he operates out of but I went to his house. I had to make copies of my house key which says Do Not Duplicate. He only charged me $3 a key, threw one in for free, did it in minutes, and was thoroughly pleasant. He explained about what Do Not Duplicate means and why some stores will not duplicate even though it's not illegal. He also told me that Walmart has a machine that will make duplicates of these keys for $5, but I prefer to enrich local businesses rather than big box stores. All in all, a very good experience and I highly recommend him. His son was just leaving but he was very pleasant as well. Nice to see a family business like this that doesn't rip you off. read more

Great family run (father-son) team. Kenneth arrived and changed all the locks (of which there were many) in our new home in what seemed like lightning speed. They were highly efficient; Kenneth did the all the hardware installation while his dad made the keys in the back of their work van. Service was super friendly and their prices were very reasonable. I would highly recommend these guys or use them in the future. read more

This father and son team are so professional. It's so important to find a trustworthy company to make sure your home is secure. You won't find a better company in the area. read more

Father and son duo: they made me feel comfortable since I was uneasy about having my locks re-keyed. They were prompt, worked quickly and we're very personable yet professional. We will definitely use them again if we need a locksmith. read more

Ken was amazing. We were locked out at 8PM on a Tuesday night. He came out to our apartment within 15 minutes of our call. He's friendly, informative and unlocked our lock within 5 minutes of getting here. He only accepts cash or check only, just a heads up. His price is very reasonable and when compared to some other places in the area that quoted us double (Locksmith 4You). We definitely recommend him. Honest, reliable and a great price. If we ever get locked out again, we will definitely call him. He also gave out a couple of business cards. The best number to reach him is (925) 228-3620. read more

Dad and Son came out in 30 minutes on a Sunday night!!!! Do I need to say more? Great prices, kind and professional! Fixed my front door lock that came apart in no time. read more

The deadbolt broke on my front door and I needed to get it fixed fast! Called Ken and he had it fixed the same day. Great guy. Good work. Extremely reasonable price. I've used him twice now and will keep calling him whenever I need a locksmith. Oh and easy to get on the phone as well which is I really like. Give Ken a call and you'll see for yourself... read more

Ken is friendly, highly experienced and prices are reasonable. I dropped a couple of locks off at his house and returned a couple hours later to find them working flawlessly and he made 3 new keys to boot. The key that was cut for them by a local hardware store was cut too deep and was causing problems and obstructing entry. I got home and checked and found 3 other keys doing the same thing so I threw them all out and will go back to Ken to cut some additional keys right the first time. That's a lesson that trusting my keys to be made by the local hardware store could result in getting locked out of my own house. Kudo's to Ken! read more

I scheduled an appointment for John to visit my home on Friday, May 12, at 9:30 AM. At 9:45 AM, I called him to see when he would arrive and I was told someone would be there in 15 minutes. At 10:15 AM, I called again and the person who answered the phone hung up on me! I called several more times and the person who answered the phone yelled at me, "Stop calling me! I'm driving." I waited for two hours until 11:30 AM and finally I left my home. I would NEVER use this locksmith again! Completely unprofessional and unreliable! They also only accept cash (no credit cards nor checks). read more

Ken's a great guy and a professional. Family owned business means you get a personal touch. I felt that he really cared about my family's security and he did a great job. Thank you! read more

Always come with a fast and easy approach. Competitively priced and friendly as well. Anytime I have used a different company, I always return back to family. read more

Fast Response and EXCELLENT Work. I was hesitant to call a Locksmith because it was Friday @ 5:45pm and that meant it was Off-Hours work. The first two Locksmith I called, told me it was too close to 6pm so they would not dispatch out to open the lock. The next two went to recording and said a tech would call me back (only one did after I setup an appointment with Family Security). Family Security Locksmith answered the phone, dispatched out immediately and got me into my house at Half of what I thought I would Pay!! Thank You! Family Security Locksmith for not only being quick to respond, providing Excellent Service, but for being Extremely reasonable on Pricing... I would not only use again, I will Recommend you to EVERYONE I KNOW!!!! read more

Ken and his son-in-law are the Kings of Locksmith! This is the best company with superb service! They are honest, down to earth, real people who know their jobs 200%. Also, they came prepared with a truck full of tools of the trade. read more

Tonight I locked myself out of my house not knowing what to do! I'm so grateful that Ken and Kenny were able to rescue me. Within an hour I was back in my house. That's very fast including travel time and them patiently picking my crazy security lock. I felt very safe and trusted them, they really know what they're doing. Their customer service was above and beyond, before leaving they cut me a key just so I can have a spare! I will be calling Family Security Locksmith if ever needed! read more

Family Security Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

These guys are the best!!! Locked myself out of my house and Ken and Kenny promptly rescued me! Arriving at my home minutes after I called them and got me into my home quickly. Then, they made me a free extra key right then. I locked myself out two years ago (I am a slow learner) and that locksmith ended up breaking my door knob to get me inside after over an hour of working on it. I thought it was going to be the same thing again but Family Security was much better!!!! On top of it, they gave me the day rate even though it was already dark and Kenny worked with minimal light. My horrid day ended on a very bright note, thanks to his father/son team. Since, I am a slow learner, no doubt I will be calling them again. read more

Ken is a great locksmith and a even better guy. he showed up on time, did 2 rekeys, and installed a new dead bolt. Prices were fair and the stories were great. read more

Excellent service, fast, reliable, honest, fair priced. LOVE THEM!

They're great! We recently bought a home in Martinez, and wanted to have the locks changed. I called, and they were there that evening to provide quick, friendly, quality, and reasonably-priced service. Highly recommended! read more

I had Ken come and re-key all my locks after purchasing my new home. He's a very nice man and did a great job. There were five locks total and it took him about an hour and cost way less than replacing all the hardware. Very helpful and even fixed a couple of the doors so they would lock properly and I didn't have to push or pull on them to get them to lock. Great service! read more

I was referred to Family Security Locksmith by a friend who is a very happy repeat customer so I was expecting a good price and great service. That is exactly what I received. The father-son team was here within an hour and completed the extensive job within one hour. I dealt with Kenny (the son) and he was personable and passionate about doing a professional job. Nice people and clean, professional workmanship. I highly recommend them! read more

So happy with the quality of service, friendliness, and expertise. The team went above and beyond and even fixed an issue with my door at no extra cost and without me even mentioning it / pointing it out. Definitely will be calling again when needed. read more

Ken came on time and even called to say he was on his way. Such a nice guy and worked to put a lock on a old door in the house. It was a tough door but he worked and got it done and the price was better than any other locksmith I ever used before. He is also local right here in Martinez. I highly recommend them. read more

Moved into my new house today and I had called Family Security. Ken (the owner) showed up a exactly 2pm as scheduled. He proceeded to rekeying six licks and made new keys all within an hour. He charged an exceptionally fair price and was super friendly through the entire time. I can not say enough good things about his knowledge and customer service. read more

Ken, the owner came in 15 minutes - charged a very reasonable amount for replacing my dead bolt lock that was broken. This is the second service I've had on the lock and Ken was half the price of the first company - Expert-Mobile Locksmith - and Ken actually replaced the lock verses a half baked repair job by so called expert mobile. Further more, just in talking to Ken you could tell he is an honest businessman who truly wants to help people. Too many of these 24 hour locksmiths are undertrained people out to extract as much cash out of you as they can when they show up. Needless to say, I was very please that I found Ken to do my repair read more

Ken & Janie are wonderful to do business with. Ken came out within the hour to change a lock for me. He was profession, quick, and affordable. I had no idea who to call, and I'm glad I found them. Next time I need this service, I will call them again. Thanks so much for your awesome service! read more

Was in a total rush and completely forgot my keys in the apartment so needed an emergency locksmith to come and help get the door open, as I had my dog with me and he needed water (hot day). Found Family Security Locksmith on Yelp and gave them a call. Super professional and courteous. They got here in less than 15 minutes and had the door open in under a minute. Can't thank them enough for the help and would 100% recommend them for any locksmith services. read more
