This review is a bit overdue but I did not want to miss the opportunity to give a huge shout out to Yael. My front door lock broke on Halloween later in the day. I was desperate and worried because I needed to make sure my house would be secure because I had to go to work the next day, but being that it was the evening of Halloween, I was worried nobody would be available to fix it at all. I contacted Yael about it and he was quick to respond and he came out that evening to work on my lock. Apparently there was too much damage inside the lock so it needed to be replaced and my door frame had issues as well. He was able to do a temporary fix so that it could give me time to purchase a new lock, yet keep my house secure. Yael came back a few days later after I chose the lock I wanted and installed it for me. He gave me very good explanations about why it got damaged in the first place and even fixed my inner door frame to ensure this wouldn't happen again. Its been about a month and I'm so happy with my installation. I'm very grateful to Yael for his flexibility, prompt responses and dependability. Thank you! read more

Great service, fast and reliable. The communication was good and locksmith was prompt to respond. Would definitely use their service again.

Yael was quick and personable. He came at night to help us get into our house when he could be relaxing. At home at 9 at night. Thank you, Yael! read more

Key Masters - Brand new key fob done for a 2019 Corolla SE. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Very responsive! I created the project using Yelp. Then all communication was via the Yelp app on my end. I needed my safe opened up because the handle was no longer functional. After sending pictures, many other companies said they were unable to provide service...but these guys confidently said yes! Quoted a very fair price. Even according to some other smiths the were simply unwilling to beat their quote. Scheduled a date and time, outlined the process for me, arrived before our scheduled time and got'er done! Friendly, fair, communicative, on time and efficient. Can't ask for better than that! read more

Came to my home and was done in about 25 minutes-Key worked great so far no issues. Price was fair

Oscar & His son are masters of their craft. Professional, Prompt, Responsive and services priced below the competitors. I will definitely use their services again if and when needed and most importantly refer them both. I had to have a new key done for a car with push start ignition. Received service and new programmed key the same day I called. Thank you Both. read more

Locked out of the house at night. Not a fun thing to do considering it's dark and I want to be on my couch. Smart lock failed me and this was the one day I did not have my back up plan aka a physical key. Gave the number a call after a Yelp search and confirmed this is a 24/7 operation. Guy on the phone was helpful and asked for some quick text message pics of my lock. He showed up about 20 minutes later and picked the lock within 10 minutes or less. Dude was a professional. The bill was also more than fair considering the last minute call and how quick he got to the scene. Would recommend. read more

Our family needed a simple rekey for a home we just moved into and from a Yelp quote to local vendors, Key Masters was the quickest to respond and their pricing also beat the competition. Oscar and Yael were prompt with each message exchange and I decided to go with them to support their family-owned business. Yael arrived as scheduled and rekeyed our doors in no time. Payment was also easy through Venmo, cash or CC. He mentioned they also rekey automobiles. If we're in need of any rekeying (or lockout!) in the future, we know who to go to! read more

Knowledgeable, friendly technician. Timely service at a good price. Would definitely call again

Thank you! Fast response. Came over and opened the door. Very nice experience. Would work with again.

Very happy with the service from key masters. They answered the phone right away, came to my house quickly and did the job right. I called them for two jobs in the span of about a week and they were slightly less expensive than other locksmiths I called and with more availability. 10/10, would hire again. read more

4.800 stars. Oscar is a sweet soul who helped us install a lock on our very custom, thick, metal door on our new home. The door was installed in the mid-2000s, when electronic, magnetic locks (you know the kind where you use a code to get in) were the flavor du jour. Unfortunately, the lock failed, and we wanted to go back to the old tried and true deadbolt. Multiple people on Yelp do not do metal doors and with this being a thick door, deadbolt installation was going to be a unique problem. I ordered the custom deadbolt online and hired Oscar to install it for me. Apparently, for most deadbolt installations with a normal-thickness door, there are "templates" that you can buy to help you put the hole in the exact distance for the bolt to hit the strike plate. With a thicker door, Oscar had to be very precise in his measurements and cutting to make sure the deadbolt was perfect. He had one shot on this pretty expensive door! He had the right tools to install the deadbolt perfectly on the door. I did have to expand the hole in the frame myself to make sure the deadbolt fit perfectly, but this was no big deal as I am fairly handy and had the tools for this. Oscar was very informative and responsive on the Yelp Messaging System, which is why I ended up going with him and we are glad we did! He is a gentle soul as well, so sweet and friendly. I would use him again in a heartbeat. read more

Lifesavers!!!! Very fair price for after hour service for a vehicle lockout. My truck decided to lock itself when it didn't detect the keyfob inside of it after I pulled it forward, shut it off, left it unlocked then went to grab something from inside. Make sure your keyfob batteries are good! Otherwise it will think you left it unlocked and do you a solid by locking itself for you. Thanks Tacoma. Family owned small business. They were very nice and professional. He even asked me if I was 100% sure that my keys were actually inside the vehicle before he started which was kind. Unfortunately they were in fact inside. He broke into my car with no damage to the vehicle. He was quick to unlock it and quick to get there which was awesome. Hopefully I never need to use them for lockout service again, but if I need service I will totally use these guys. Def recommend. read more

Super impressed at Jael's professionalism, prompt response, and terrific job well done. Would recommend to anyone! Special attention was given to help me understand the price points, timeline, and best option for me. read more
