Just moved to a new house so replaced multiple locks and a door handle. I liked that they had a showroom close by so I could see the hardware I was going to invest in before making a decision. We were in the market for the most secure deadbolt possible, which they had in stock and educated me on the features and benefits of it. I then worked with their dispatch to schedule an appointment for later in the week, do the process was super smooth. Blaine, the locksmith was super quick to install, and very professional. The locks and door handle have now all been installed, and the quality is top notch. The price is a little higher than I was anticipating, but you cannot put a price on safety. Would recommend this business to anyone in the area in need of locksmithing service. read more

Blaine Cucas came on time and did a great job installing our smart lock. Highly recommended.

I reached out to Foothill Locksmiths about replacing the lock on my community mailbox, Jackie & Lou were absolutely fantastic! Instead of charging me for a service call, they honestly walked me through the whole process of installing a replacement lock myself. They were extremely friendly, patient, and helpful -- you can tell they really care about people, not just making a sale. It's rare to find that kind of honesty and customer service these days. Highly recommend! read more

I was recommended to Foothill Locksmiths from a mobile locksmith who couldn't help me. I needed to re-key a digital deadbolt I purchased.

Lou is an awesome human being. I went to multiple places to get my key copied and none of those copies worked. Lou was helpful and was sympathetic, he felt sorry that I have been running around town to get my keys duplicated the day before my vacation starts. He made me a copy and didn't charge me for it because he had a feeling that it may not work, so he suggested me to bring the door lock to the shop if the copy didn't work. He was right, I ended up bringing the door lock and he fixed the issue within a few minutes. Things that matters to me when it comes to customer service that never gets old is kindness, empathy, and professionalism. I really appreciate your help Lou. Thanks for making my day. Now I can start my vacation and relax. read more

They got my Honda CRV 2010 key cut and programmed at roughly half the cost of the dealership. Pro tip: Because the programming wipes all keys and reprograms all keys bring them all to get programmed at the same time. Lou (I think that was his name) helped me out today. He's cool and personable and made me feel good about the whole process. From start to finish, this took about 15 minutes. Extremely happy and would recommend over and over. read more

Blaine was on time, courtesy, knowledgeable, and completed the job in a timely manner.

I went in to make duplicate keys for a fifth wheel. I was greeted and helped right away. When I was paying for the keys, the locksmith said to try the keys and if they don't work to bring them back. The keys didn't work and by the time I return, they had already closed for the day. I went to another locksmith in Hayward and the keys they made was a match. I was able to return to Foothills Locksmith the next day and they refunded my purchase. read more

Excellent and reliable work. Detailed communication and very courteous. Went to get my new car key fob programmed and the service was exceptional. read more

The need for a local quality locksmith to assist me in the completion of projects @ work often comes up. This establishment is/does just that for me. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. They are very patient in explaining complex security, lock, and key issues in easy-to-understand & comprehend concepts. They have several times resolved a non-performing lock issue for free. Yes....for FREE. The security issues that I often deal in, they are very familiar with. Heavy-duty security measures to guard against the 'bad guys' and 'low-lifes' running amuck out there. The staff at Foothill Lock have been very helpful in reprogramming my new key-less entry computer-chipped vehicle fobs for a reasonable sum too. I have been very satisfied with the service and honest advice that they dispense. I trust them wholeheartedly. BTW: The keys that they cut will come out perfectly. A sign of a quality security shop. read more

My life would have been so much easier if had I found this full service honest, professional and great locksmith many many months ago. Do yourself a favor if you need to buy a new lock, install a new lock or duplicate keys, you would be well advised to get help from the team at this shop. You will save yourself lots of frustrations, time and money, even if you are good at DIY projects, by reaching out to the good folks at Foothill Locksmiths. If you need to buy a residential replacement lock system that has been discontinued, this is the shop you want to come to and ask for Felix who can help tract down a new lock system that will closely match your dated (and likely inoperable) lock system. Long story short, I found this locksmith after asking one of my neighbors at The Meridien Court where he got his new lockset. Everyone of my neighbors should come to this locksmith to buy replacement locks for their front doors because the original locks that the Developer installed have been discontinued for decades! I tried to install locks I bought from Home Depot and Lowe's -- I spent days drilling on my 20 plus year old door, to no avail. None of the locks from Home Depot and Lowe's fit, even after I enlarged the existing holes. (Some DIY I am, eh!) So today, Angel (a licensed locksmith) from Foothill Locksmiths came to my house and installed the new lockset (I couldn't do it because the cylinder would not fit.). Angel had to cut out some wood with professional grade tools. Angel installed the lockset perfectly; he's professional, courteous and knows his stuff, just like everyone I dealt with at the shop. Angel made custom face plates and installed them to hide the mistakes I made! Excellent work, Angel! A huge thank you to Felix and Angel! Prices are reasonable. These guys are straight shooters! They gave tons of blank keys to make duplicates. read more

The thing that stands out to me about the service is how they were more than happy to try multiple blanks to get a good alternative for a hard to find key. When the first key did not work well he made me another one using my input to get it right. The respect they showed me was refreshing as well as their expertise. They are well stocked and willing to get what you need if they don't already have it. I am happy to recommend them for your locksmith needs. read more

This is a good group of people. We'd lost all of the keys to one of our cars and needed help. They had us bring in the glove box lock so they could look up the key code. Of course this car doesn't have key codes on it so he manually checked the pins and then looked up how many combinations were available. He found only one match, it worked on the glove box lock, and he told me he'd replace the key if it didn't work I should just bring in one of the whole locks. He was clear, friendly, and helpful. The price was fair and the location is easy to find. I know where we're going the next time we need anything to do with locks. read more
