I went to this one place for a motorcycle key copy, told them for what bike showed them the key and he pulled one out that looked similar. The key was 14 bucks and some change, took him like a minute or two to get it done, pretty quick. Paid for it then asked if it needed any adjustments I could get them, since I wanted to try it on my bike before I left. It was pretty rough and it did clunk in to the on position but not to the lock position. He took the key back inside to the machine I assume. Brought some spray can for my ignition then tried it again, still didn't want to lock. But after he looked at my original key he noticed it was made too long so he took it back and shorted it. After that it worked for both on and locking position but it's still pretty clunky honestly, he was pretty helpful but did seem like he didn't want to waste or spend more time on the key. He did say the key has a lifetime warranty on it, it's a okay copy for emergency purposes only but definitely not an everyday key. Now that I noticed it side by side, it does seem still longer and the notches are a bit smaller then the original so maybe that's why it's still clunky. I'm thinking of bringing it back to see it if they can refine it, or something. I gave it a three star review for now, the service was pretty quick if you need a key done fast but I'm a little disappointed that it came out clunky. read more

I've been all over town looking to get keys made for my Impala.. No one had the old style GM keys.. They had them in stock and had the ignition and trunk keys made.. thanks guys. read more

So I had some keys cut the first time here. 3 of the 5 worked. I had to bring back my other 2 which annoyed me at first but I know sometimes that can happen. I brought them in and they quickly took care Of it for me. I personally thought their customer service was great from my 2 experiences. I can't speak as far as cost compared to other places but everyone has their bottom line they need to charge to keep the doors open so I get it. It's just business. read more

They helped right away and tested my key multiple times before letting me go. Nice pricing read more

Doyle and his team did a great job measuring and installing the security slider on my patio door. It came out better than I expected.

I went to Key Evidence to have a door lock re-keyed. While I was there I spoke to Doyle, the owner, about installing a Ring Doorbell that I had purchased. I explained that I had an older doorbell, that was not compatible with Ring and that Ring had sent a part to install in order to make it compatible. Doyle assured me that they had installed hundreds of the Ring Doorbells and that there would not be a problem: the cost, $150.00. Several weeks later, I made an appt. to have the doorbell installed. Doyle, arrived and the moment he walked through my door, he began selling me on why the particular model that I purchased wasn't correct for my application and that he had one on his truck that was much better. I politely declined and asked him to proceed with the installation. I explained that there were two doorbells with 2 different rings and if it were easier to install only one that would be fine. Doyle clearly did not have a working knowledge of my older system so he called a friend who was an electrician and waited for him to arrive. 45 minutes later, the electrician arrived. Meanwhile, Doyle spent the entire time trying to sell me on various security systems. Once the electrician arrived, he completed the install in 20 min. Doyle showed me how to use the App and then presented me a bill for $295.00! Double what he had quoted me. When I questioned the bill, his response was, "I was here a long time." I should have paid the original quote and thanked him for wasting my time. In addition to overcharging me, the original doorbell chime no longer works, unless I have my phone with me 24/7, I do not know if there is someone at my front door. To say that I am disappointed with Doyle and his unethical business practices, would be an understatement. After reading the reviews, it is apparent that Key Evidence makes a practice of quoting one price and charging nearly double once you accept. read more

These Guys were amazing. My key was in pretty rough shape & my key fob was broken, I ordered a replacement key fob on Amazon. Key Evidence did everything that they could to try & cut me the correct key including trying to hand file one that would work. After numerous failed attempts they ordered me a key fob that would work & did not charge me for the one that didn't work, they directed me to get the key code from the car dealer. Once I returned with the key code they were able to cut the key for my specific vehicle & even made me a spare key to unlock the doors free of charge & the key fob that they ordered came in 3 days sooner than what was expected. I need keys for my apartment, I will be returning to key evidence in the morning to get them. read more

Ultimately they did a good job in cutting my automotive key, it worked! Despite the high price I was happy with key. One con from my experience here was the older gentleman that was working this evening seemed really grumpy or he lacked customer service skills. Really bad customer service but I am happy with the job they did. Thank you sir! Sorry if you were having a bad day. read more

I like using a local locksmith over home Depot, Lowe's, or your make it yourself kiosk. The guys here are a little rough around the edges about customer service but nothing that doesn't make Not want to go back. Figure the are just "blunt" country men read more

Rude Rude Rude Rude. This outfit, or the guy that was there in the store on Saturday (tall with grey hair) needs to retire or find a new line of work, where he does not have to deal with the general public. Drove 2 1/2hrs there and back to get a key cut after calling twice to make sure they had the blank and could cut the key with the info I had. Yes come on in was there reply....twice. Never ever!!!!! going back here and I plan to tell anyone that asks to avoid also. read more

I had to get a few keys made. The keys are for a Weiser lock. The door knob is from the 1970's. They were very helpful and the keys worked perfect. It is worth the extra few dollars to avoid the box home improvement stores. Those keys will work but not very smooth action I've been here a few times over the years and always had a positive outcome. I would recommend them for any lock needs. They also sell security screen doors. Not sure about their abilities but saw the display in showroom. read more

Needed mail box keys cuz the post office is stupid. Anyway these guys were spot on and fast and friendly. I was on my motorcycle And one off the guys rode so we hit it off. These guys are like insurance you hope you'll never need it but if you do you want someone who knows what they are doing and aren't going to screw you over. And when you find that place. Don't waste time looking for a few cents cheaper. Peace of mind is priceless. Key Evidence is the place to go read more

I came in there today just to get one simple "non-chipped" key duplicated for my Ford Ranger. The older guy's exact words were "Not to be a dick, but if it's anything is under a $40.00 purchase I have to charge you a $10.00 fee to use your credit card, unless you have cash", then pointed out the same info documented on the table. Are you kidding me!!!??? A simple two-dollar duplicate key to be made and I have to put up with that BS!!!??? You'd think they'd give an Army Veteran a break at least!!! Wow!!! I'd use all caps to show how angry I am but Yelp doesn't allow it. To Hell with you people!!! I can understand now why it was dead as a doornail there! read more

Very good customer service. So let me start off by saying this, they were the only locksmith in central ca to do the job they did. This was a very labor intensive job. We're talking about a service truck a mechanics truck with a utility bed on it. This trucks bed key was lost to the tool boxes. There was no key code no info on the box itself or any sort of helpful information. No one and I mean no was able to help. I tried places in Bakersfield, porterville, Tulare, Hanford, Fresno, Madera, Merced, Turlock, Modesto and many more places. This place had a job on there hands. All the tool boxes were locked and the keys were lost and no info what do ever. Now let me back track a little, all the other places said the same story, " we need to drill the existing ones out and order you the proper ones and that would takes weeks." I needed this truck to be locked and secure the tools inside and also have access to the tools. One place I called went as far as telling me, " well you need to get in the tool boxes right?, so what's the problem of us drilling out the locks your getting what you want!!" I told him that wasn't acceptable I need to be able to lock the doors after I get in my tools and he said, "well what ever is in there must not be important to you then." I laughed and hung up. I want to thank key evidence for there great help and awesome service. The gentleman who helped Me was the older man who wasn't the Owner but this man was great. He did such a amazing job. Thanks again and I do want to add " I wasn't the one who lost the keys, the person who was in this truck lost the keys after locking the boxes." 100 percent RECOMMEND read more

Doyle did an amazing job installing video security cameras at our home. He covered every detail and didn't leave until he was sure we completely understood how to operate the system. He answered phone calls right away and was so friendly and professional. Highly recommend!!! read more

Great job of selling me and installing a Security Screen Door! On time, professional and went above and beyond! Highly recommend them!

Doyle went above and beyond to find the exact security screen door that no one locally could provide. I called him at the suggestion of the manufacturer after 8 months of searching everywhere. Not only was Doyle able to source it with all the security features, style, with pet door and matched my existing door handle perfectly. He even drove to Sacramento to get the pet door installed for me! While no one within 200+ miles could help me, Doyle came through. From our first call to install all within two weeks. I can't recommend him enough. read more

We used them to rekey 5 locks and change the combo to the safe; I called at 5 minutes to five, the gal was very helpful and Frankie arrived at 9am as promised. We needed insurance info faxed and an i9 form also, because we are a business and they were extremely prompt. We were very happy with Frankie's and their office's professionalism. read more

They almost always have the keys and looking for and are quick with good customer service. Just a little pricey that's why I give it 4 stars

Update after the key didn't work went to of all places visalia lumber and got the same key done for 2.50 instead of 10.00 and it worked. KEY EVIDENCE IS A RIP OFF DON'T GO THERE. read more

This shop did everything to me and explained everything to me, but they cannot program the key and cannot make this key to start the engine. We spend 150 to buy a useless key from them. We only request to refund the key itself $75, but they refused. Everything seems good, but the result is not good and non-resolvable. read more

The ONLY key I had to my Honda civic was worn down and broken in half. I brought it to Fred at key evidence and he managed to make a copy of it, even grinding part of it by hand to get it as close to the original as possible. He warned me that it might not work. For $50 it was worth the risk considering that my car was over and hour away from Visalia. I got home and by some miracle the key worked! It opens the door, truck, and starts the car! Thanks to Fred I can still drive my car :) read more

Trust me I wouldn't have given this place the one star. I'm an easy guy to please overall. Be friendly, give me a good customer experience and/or a good product at a reasonable price and I'm happy. If you don't, you get added to my Wall of Shame. This place is a joke I have never seen such unprofessional and poor customer service and that was dealing with " The Owner" and "Manager" Doyle you call yourself a business man? You need a reality check bud. Should have just gone to Fresno Lock and Key. read more

Doyle W. Pope. You really need to look into hiring new employees. I have been on this Planet for 371 months. Never have been so disrespected. The lack of customer service was pitiful. You have lost a customer for life. #nosleep read more

I came here before reading the reviews and I must say that they were very helpful for me. I ended up paying 50 dollars less to have my car key done than I would have at a dealership. They were very nice too, even with me having my fussy baby and chatty daughter read more

Thank you Key Evidence for your quick response! Had a broken bathroom lock and needed it fixed quickly. Great service and quality products.

Needing to have your car towed is frustrating but being locked out on top of that is like pouring salt on a wound. Being told by the tow company that they can't help you didn't help the situation. I called Key Evidence and found them to be extremely professional and helpful. They responded immediately and had my car unlocked. If service is high on your list I would recommend Key Evidence. read more

I wish I could give this business zero stars. Background: My keyless remote for my vehicle has the key integrated with the remote. The small, round plastic part that is used to attach the remote to a keyring broke off. Otherwise the remote worked fine. I therefore just needed a new shell case for my remote, not another brand new remote with the internal components. I purchased a new case online for $6 and switched the internal components myself. Took a couple of minutes, no problem. Services needed: The new keyless remote case has an uncut key and when I switched the internal components it no longer worked and needed reprogramming. I called Key Evidence on 5/11/11 and explained everything above and asked what they charged for the reprogramming and key cut. After I was placed on hold for him to look up my vehicle information, I was told $45 for the reprogram and $4.95 for the code cut. I also called the local dealership and explained the same thing. I was told $55 for the reprogram and $18 for the cut. Therefore I went to Key Evidence. The next day, 5/12/11, I arrived at Key Evidence and again explained my situation and presented both my old key case (which was broken), and my new, uncut, unprogrammed key. I also said that I had called the day prior and advised of the prices. The first question I was asked was, "How much did you pay for the new key?" I asked why that mattered for what I was needing done. No reply was given. I was then asked what price I was given when I called. I stated $45 for the reprogram and $4.95 for the code cut. Comment was, "Well our minimum is $65 for the programming." I stated that if that was the case then I would go to the dealer. "Local dealer?" I was asked. I said yes and advised of the prices I was given when I called the dealer. He then asks me where I got the new case. I replied that I purchased the new case myself. He asks, "Online?" I said yes. He then writes down my vehicle information and took both my old key case and the new key and went to a computer to look up information (not sure what). He leaves and goes into a separate side room and closes the door, with no comment to me about where he's going or why. He comes back from the side room and places both of my keys on the counter and says, "Yeah, you're going to have to go to the dealer." That's it, end of story, no explanation. I will never return to this business. read more

Needed a transponder key, was quoted $160 +. Asked if they would cut and program a key purchased online. They said yes, $67. I returned a week later with my own key. I was told it would be $113 to cut and program the key. I asked how much to just cut the key? I was quoted $46! I took the key to another locksmith and had the key cut for under $3.00! A transponder key, cut, and programmed at the other locksmith is under $90! Not recommended. Will never use or recommend Key Evidence Lock & Safe. read more
