A trusted locksmith who can resolve a simple yet far from an amateur DIY problem with an expert…read moresolution. $125 got me a simple entry door lock-out problem. Not a complex lock, but a secure one that would be difficult to resolve without a trained locksmith. I don't know comps (comparable) rates by others, but I'd say for a housecall where he has to take time to travel back and forth, plus his professional tools and expertise, it sounded fair enough. Be sure to call Alex. Confirm the details. Provide a photo of the lock itself so he knows what brand or style and can give you the right estimate. If you're in a time crunch or have limitations related to urgency of getting the lock unlocked, be clear and discuss his availability and a realistic arrival time. He has other clients/projects, so there could be miscommunication interpretation delays of where you fall into his schedule that day. I interpreted "in 45 mins" as an ETA (estimated time of arrival) for a job in the South Bay Beach Cities area, but it ended up being closer to 2 hours or so due to his other jobs. So, that was my only minor issue I'd fair warn myself to temper expectations or clarify with him if I ever needed this service. When he arrived, it took him I'd challenge to say less than 3 minutes to pick the lock and unlock the keyed entry without any problems. He does know what he's doing and did it quickly. He was a nice service provider. My testimony review is an approved referral that I'd recommend Alex as a locksmith.

The moment I closed my car door, I knew I had made a mistake. After a moment of panic, I jumped in Yelp and looked for a car locksmith. Most of the locations were closed but SoCal Locksmith was open. I called and within 10 minutes my door was unlocked!! He was very professional and kind. He worked quickly. The price was pretty steep($60) but other locations were charging me $95 and above. For the efficiency and the professionalism, I think $60 was worth it. I felt a sigh of relief. I also have no experience with locksmith so I don't know if the price is acceptable or not. Honestly, the quickness of the job felt worth the price.

Fortunately the key was still in the little circle part of the basket that's meant to accommodate a coffee or latte. Lol That was when after some research I came upon this particular locksmith via a referral in inglewood. Keep in mind that these fob keys go for between $300- $400 now at any dealership, and that's assuming they still make the set you need pending the year of your car. Juan made a great duplicate set and I was in/out in under 20 min for $185. You can't beat that, regardless of the make/ year of your car. However, if your vehicle is over 10 years old you still have to hope the dealer makes your part, because if they don't you'll have to be resourceful and find a spot like this. Thanks Juan, your a credit to A1 Locksmith for sure!

A few weeks back, we needed to change the locks on our Preschool. Mind you we have over 15 doors and gates that needed to be re-keyed on the Preschool building. Ian arrived on time, I walked him through the doors and gates to show him what we needed changed. We also needed new keys and new master keys to accommodate the changes. In a few hours, Ian was done. We know how much work it was as it was an in service day and all the teachers were there for CPR training and preparing their classrooms for our Summer classes. Ian never stopped and was respectful for the training that was going on. He was a hard worker and extremely knowledgeable about what was needed. Thank you Industrial L & K and Ian for being the only locksmith that St. John's trusts and uses. Karina Walsh - President St. John's Lutheran Church
