What an incredible local business. I arrived home from the holidays to a busted lock, unable to get in even with a key. Within 40 minutes a super capable and friendly locksmith was working his way through the problem. Incredibly fair prices for the high quality work. Spared me a great amount of stress. I recommend! read more

Rekeyed all of the locks in our building. Was easy to schedule, they showed up on time and were able to do the job quickly. Didn't try to upsell me and kept to the price they quoted. read more

My home was left unsafe when my keys got in the wrong hands while I was out of town. Danny instructed me to overnight him my house keys and he would change all the locks when he got the keys. It wasn't till two days after the keys should have arrived that he decided to get to my locks. I grew worried and hired someone more reliable. He refused for hours to give the person I hired my keys so I contacted the police. I plan to sue him for damages. read more

This review is a couple months late, but relevant nonetheless. Dani is very responsive over messenger and asks all the right questions to prepare for an efficient job. After deciding to go with Dani for his responsiveness, we exchanged information and he was able to arrive at my home faster than anticipated and quickly got the job done. Considering the pandemic, he arrived wearing a face mask and exercising all pandemic social protocols--something important to consider when in the house. Friendly and efficient service paired with fair pricing are all reasons I recommend Golden Hands Locksmith. read more

Love them! They came within 25 min and offered me a coupon! Friendly service and they sure won't steal your money like other places!

Dani responded in realtime to my inquiry... (note that I'd specifically sent an inquiry to another locksmith, but Yelp sent it to many locksmiths, with whom I then needed to manage the communication, so Yelp loses stars themselves) And stated very reasonable pricing in the first response. I asked for a 2 hour service window, same day after work. Rich, the locksmith notified me was going to be delayed by traffic, and arrived when he'd said he'd be arriving. I showed him the job, and the locks sets I had on hand. We discussed the best/easiest approach to the work, and he got it all done in less than an hour. He was prompt, personable, adaptable, clearly talented at his job, and a pleasure to work with. Top marks! read more

This guy Danny couldn't fix a sandwich! He came out to re-key locks due to lost keys and the locks keep falling off. He came back out to repair only to have the locks fall back off less than two weeks later. When called again I was told that 'it's not his problem'... now I am left with searching for a real locksmith and of course another bill. Note the choice of screws used to mount the lock... read more

See all

These folks are the real deal. I hired them based on a recommendation on a neighborhood Listserv, and what a good move that was. Very reasonably priced and very responsive. read more

This will be my goto locksmith. I had a problem with my mailbox lock not working. So I requested a quote and received one promptly. I set up an appointment and he called before arrival. It was lower than any other quote I received. One he arrived he said that he was going to try something to see if it would open. Miraculously it did. He saved me some money and only charged the service fee. Very satisfied! read more

I made an appointment with Golden Hands Locksmith for today (11/6/2021) and I will definitely use them in the future if I have a need. Richard was awesome (I said Joe in another review but it's Richard). He was timely, professional and just an overall nice guy. I highly recommend Golden Hands Locksmith! read more

I'd give them 10 stars if I could. They came within 3 hours of a request to change my locks. We're professional and expert! Then I promptly locked myself out and they came back within 30 minutes. Such kind and responsive people! I highly recommend! read more

Dani quickly replaced a defective doorknob and deadbolt. Excellent work! He was very friendly and respectful, wore a face mask, called before he arrived, arrived exactly at the time we discussed. read more

I recommend highly Dani and his company for anything to do with your lock. We have a home insurance and many other companies did not want to help us file the claim. Dani was so professional, helped us out with a wonderful attitude and fixed the issue we had with our key immediately. Plus he was fully equipped with a mask and gloves when he came for the work! Thank you! read more

Its been great working with Dani; he is quick and very responsive. I definitely recommend Golden Hands.

I found this service based on previous Yelp reviews. I requested a quote to rekey 3 deadbolt and was given a reason price with mins. We set up an appointment that worked for me the following weekend. He called and said he could come earlier than our appointment time and I told him that worked. He arrived on time. He was friendly and professional. He was probably done within 20 min and was on his way after giving me a new key. I would definitely recommend them to a friend and use again if I need to. read more

Great company, good service and fast response. Reasonable pricing. The technician came out fast and took care of everything. Recommend them to anyone. read more

After I lost my only car key, I was worried I'd have to wait days for a new one. About 30 minutes after calling Golden Hands, Mike P showed up, was professional, polite and the process was super fast and easy. Highly recommend! read more

The key to my deadbolt got stuck and I couldn't get it out myself. They responded to my request for a quote within 5 minutes and were at my apartment within 3 hours. They dismantled the lock, pulled out the key, and examined if anything was faulty with the lock (which is wasn't). It was $74 total (I used the $20 yelp voucher) so it would have normally been $94. Another vendor I reached out to contacted me afterwards and said the same service would have been free with them but 1) that sounds too good to be true and 2) I was just glad to have it taken care of so quickly. Highly recommend them for prompt and friendly service. read more

Dani was very helpful rekeying the locks on our new house. He made the process quick and easy!

Speedy, professional, and friendly! Great price, great communication all the way through, and the locksmith happened to live very close by. I couldn't have asked for a better exchange. read more

Golden Hands were great. They responded to my inquiry on Yelp very quickly - answered all my questions and we booked a time for them to come and install new locks. They were right on time, fast, and of course were safe, wearing a mask and keeping appropriate distance. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again. read more

Our property management company has been using Dani and Golden Hands for years on hundreds of jobs. He's literally our-go locksmith for 1300+ properties and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend him to anyone! read more

The locksmith wore a mask, was friendly, and worked quickly and efficiently. He let me know when he encountered a problem and he went to the hardware store to get a part he needed to finish the job. He only charged me for the part- not his time in procuring it. He was very transparent about the costs as he worked. I would absolutely use them again! read more

We needed to have a lock replaced on our gate after we had to have it broken down to get my father out during an emergency. I had many people reach out to help. However, Golden hands sent a message back with quotes and what to expect financially. They came within 2 hours of my message fixed my issue with a new lock under $150.00. This saved me a lot of time and money not having to replace the entire gate. I appreciate the quick response, the professional job and the attention to detail. Thank you for putting my mind at ease in having m fathers house secure while we go back and forth the California. Don't waste your to me with another locksmith, look no further you found your people right here!! read more

I called Golden hands locksmith after I forgot my keys in my Uber. It took them less than 20 minutes to arrive at my place and they were able to unlock my door knob in less than 2 minutes. I will definitely call them anytime I need a locksmith. read more

They came out on time they did a good job and they were prompt and quick. I will definitely use them again.

I received a quick cost estimate and was able to schedule for the next day. The technician contacted me 30 minutes before he arrived. He was able to quickly rekey my 4 locks. He came with gloves and a mask on and was very professional! Awesome service! read more

Dani was extremely communicative and set a very reasonable price for our front door lock/latch issue. He came on time and even offered to come early for our appointment, which he scheduled promptly. Very professional and did a perfect job for us! Highly recommend! read more

This company is completely unreliable. I emailed with the owner several times and we set up an appointment time. They did not show up, they did not call, they did not email. I would not recommend this company at all. read more

Our deadbolt lock was jammed on the front door. Dani G. Was very professional and knew exactly what to do. Since it wasn't an emergency we agreed he should come out the next day. He was on time and worked swiftly to complete the repair. I definitely will refer this company to my friends. read more

These guys are quick and did a terrific job. I had about 10 locks I needed re-keyed. Golden Hands was fast to respond, easy to communicate with and performed a professional job. Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend - very responsive and great communicator. Gave me a 2 hour window and was there right at the beginning of the window- reasonably priced and did a great job - very professional. Look no further! read more

I am the type to wrote a review only if I've had either a horrid experience or if I was super impressed. My in-laws locked themselves out of the house. It was the lock on the handle/knob, not the deadbolt. I messaged them on Yelp with details so I could get a quote. They responded within minutes and said they could get to my house in 30-40 minutes. As soon as I gave the okay, they really got to my house in 40 minutes and the price was exactly as quoted! They didn't even have to break the lock (unlike other locksmiths I've used which meant I had to buy a new door knob... grrrr). I was absolutely amazed by their responsiveness to the yelp message, their prompt service, their price, and the overall customer service. I hope I won't have to use them again but I know who to call if I do! read more

Dani did a great job and took his time to explain everything. He responded to my request for a quote quickly with a time, date and price based on the information provided. On the day of the service he was responsive and prompt/ on time. He did the work very quickly. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a dependable locksmith. Will definitely use them in the future. read more

Absolutely stellar service! I got quotes from 10 different places and after weighing the quoted price with Yelp reviews, I went with Golden Hands Locksmith... so glad I did! David called me half an hour before the appointment time, was there before me, and was able to get the lock opened in 15 mins. It wasn't an easy job either since the lock couldn't be cut! Really appreciate the speedy and professional job. No offense, but I really hope I never see you guys again, but if I ever need a locksmith again, I know who to call! read more

Wow this guy arrived quickly during the later hours of the day, changed the lock expertly, gave me a discount and he was on to the next call! read more

Dani and Golden Hands EARNED my absolute highest praise. I was blown away by how quickly Dani responded to my inquiry and he was very flexible in scheduling my housecall. His quote was considerably more affordable than other quotes I received for the same job and the quality/speed of his work was excellent. I will be recommending Golden Hands to anyone who needs a locksmith in DC. COVID note-- Dani arrived exactly on time and wore mask and gloves for the entirety of his visit- much appreciated! read more

The locksmith that came out was really nice and helpful. But I felt over charged because all he did was slide a piece of thick paper between the latch and it opened. It cost me $109 for that. I didn't even need new keys and I felt it was unfair to charge for a change in locks for a 1 minute job. read more

Dani was terrific. When we first moved in he re-keyed our door lock and our mailbox lock. There were some issues with the mailbox latching, and he told us that he would come repair it free of charge. After a few months, the mailbox stopped closing so I reached back out, and he came and fixed the mailbox lock with no questions asked. read more

Broke off a key in my deadbolt. Issue was fixed within 45 minutes of my call. Highly recommend.
