I just had the best experience with Josh from the Lock Shop. He was on time, extremely good at what he does, great personality, gave every indication he loves his job. It's so refreshing to have customer service like this. And.....pricing for rekeying 8 locks was very reasonable! Thanks. read more

Great service! Created a special multifunctional key for my Sonic. Works perfect! Thank you!

I will say this. I live locally and use this Lock Shop often. Every single time I walk in the front door, nobody says hello, acknowledges you, greets you or asks if they can help you. They sit behind the counter, stare at you, and expect the customer to know exactly where to go and who to ask for. It is very very uncomfortable. You would think for what they charge to cut a key or provide service, they could at least make the customer feel welcome. Say hello. Ask, can they help you. Ask what you need. Something. The store does good work, the locksmiths are very knowledgeable. People skills. Zero! read more

Amazing service. I had been trying to copy keys and they didn't work. I went to the hardware store first and the keys they made didn't work. Went to The Lock Shop and they knew what the problem was and I got new keys. Nice, fast, competent and easy. Thank you guys! read more

Easy to get appointment. Locksmith was early, very nice and efficient. I had a question about digital locks and he answered all my questions with additional recommendations. read more

Walked in needing a key for my Yakima rooftop box, walked out 5 minutes later with two. Friendly, fast, and professional.

Went to this place on the way home and was charged more than double for the same 2 keys I had made an hour or so later at Ace Hardware. Needed another set. Rent must be pretty high near El Paseo, Palm Desert. Ouch. See picture of receipts . read more

Lock Shop - See receipts. charged THREE TIMES the cost to have the same 2 keys made compared to Ace Hardware which I needed 2 more keys later. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Palm Desert, California

If I could leave zero stars I would. $250 for a tech to come out and when they arrive, they give me a BS quote to change something for $1,100 when it should be less then $300. Had another company come out for $89 and TURNS OUT THE LOCK DOESN"T EVEN NEED TO BE CHANGED! LET ALONE THE REPACLMENT COST WAS LESS THEN $300. CROOKS!!! The main lady I spoke to which I can't remember her name excused me of giving her the wrong credit card number. Instead of saying "hello Sir your credit card got declined please call us so we can process your payment".... instead! She goes, "you gave us the wrong credit card number" horrible customer service. STAY AWAY!!! NOT HONEST!! read more

Great quick service. Was in and out in 5 minutes for 6 duplicate keys. Quick and efficient and all the keys worked perfectly

Was having an issue with my key I had made at another locksmith. After 2 months started having issues with my new key. Came to the lock shop and James was super quick and efficient fixing my key CHEAPER than the original shop quoted me read more

I go to the Lock Shop for all my lock needs. They're really nice and I feel sort of bad writing a negative review They put new locks & door knobs ($360) on my back gates on Friday & by Tuesday one does not work. Pool man, garbage, AC, and my family cannot get into our own house. I called, and they would try to get someone here if not today, tomorrow. Not acceptable when you cannot get into your own house. read more

Great service. Came early, did a great job and cleaned up. I'm definitely using them when the need arises.

I had a lock that needed a key so I dropped it off and within a short time the key was made. While I was there, I made duplicates of several other keys. They are fast efficient and do an excellent job. read more

I have always gone for all my house locks to this wonderful shop. They are great. They will even do house calls to change your locks and re-key them. Superb service. You will not be disappointed. They stand by their work. When I returned to the desert after years away, I had to have my house locks re-keyed. They were out to my house within 2 days and made new keys on site. I am a devoted customer of this business. read more

2nd time they've helped me in Indian Creek Villas in 6 months.....110 degrees outside and they were here in 10 minutes. I was in my house in another 10...........If you're in the area put their number in your phone.. read more

We just had service by technician, Randy. One of our bedroom doors had a faulty door knob that was approximately 30 years old. Despite our best efforts, we were not able to open the door and thought that we would possibly have to get a new door or damage our door. However, Randy was able to quickly open the door and replace the door knob with a knob that best matched the other knobs in our home; they no longer make the current door knobs we have given their age.He ensured that we had the small key/device to open the door in the case that is locked. He made sure we practiced opening it so we felt comfortable unlocking the door. He was quick, professional, and cleaned up all of the excess/old parts. Check out was easy as we were able to pay with credit card. We definitely recommend the Lock Shop for locksmith services! read more

We were stood up by another locksmith so I called the Lock shop and they came out the same day. Told me I just had to get my keys rekeyed instead of a new lock. The are very professional, quick and will save you money. Thank you ! read more

Excellent, trustworthy service. We had a lock added to a gate and Josh did a fantastic job not only installing the lock but making sure the overall operation and adjustment of the gate was good. He's a great ambassador for the company and we appreciated his outstanding customer service. read more

I was a locksmith decades ago and I still do most of my own work. Every so often I run into something beyond my skills or equipment. Then I go see Robert at the Lock Shop. He has never failed to solve whatever dilemma I presented and always in good cheer. Their selection of supplies and hardware is extensive and these days when most people just throw something out and buy a new one, Robert makes what you already have function well. And in a time where almost every residential key way is either Schlage or Kwikset, it is amazing that they have such a complete set of key blanks for all kinds of locks. They are nice and skilled people and the business is locally owned and operated. read more

Contacted The Lock Shop Inc. via the Palm Desert Chamber website, Sandra answered me first thing in the morning and they called me promptly. We have lost Mailbox key, called and were out the same day on time, very happy quick and efficient. We highly recommend the The Lock Shop Inc. read more

He did a great job and he came right away. Even at night. I recommend him to anyone finding them self's locked out.

My deadbolt was a little sticky with locking & unlocking, so I called lock shop. The locksmith arrived in 30 minutes after the call-fast. The lock worked well for a week, and then it will not work at all now. I was told no guarantee & deadbolt did not need replacing . Locksmith was quick & friendly. Now I just need to replace deadbolt, any recommendations? read more

Front door knob and lock were wobbly and loose. Lock Shop guy came, tightened some screws and went extra mile of tightening hinges & a doorstop since the 'repair' had only taken five minutes. Two hours later, the inside lock doesn't turn to lock properly when the spouse returns from work. Lock Shop pleasantly agrees next day to send someone back to complete repair at no cost. Same locksmith returns and has an odd chip on his shoulder and says well, the lock worked when I left, someone must've done something to it. This screw is missing. I wouldn't have done that, someone must've done something. I told him I was taking offense at his inference that we damaged or abused the lock. "No, no, not saying that, didn't mean to offend..." And then he'd go down the same path of wanting to absolve himself of not having done the original repair correctly and imply we had messed with the lock trying to repair it ourselves since he'd been here. Every time he'd tried to "clarify" himself and how he meant no offense he'd circle back to the inference we'd done something to the lock to CAUSE it to malfunction. This became one of the more bizarre services experiences of my life. Looks like I can pick out which other negative reviews here involve this same locksmith, I see the same a similar pattern in the behavior. read more

Great service and staff. Professional, dependable and courteous. They solved our problem with our door handle that wouldn't close. The only company I have ever used at home and work. read more

They were able to copy my vintage Porsche car key without a problem. Vintage car keys can be a little tricky. Ace couldn't do it, hence my desire to seek out an old school lock place with knowledge and know how. This is the place. read more

Absolutely Great Service ! Keys made while you wait. I've been here many times, just never had the time to write a review. Stopped there today, to get keys made for our New entrance door. I needed something personal also. coming from Detroit, Michigan, to Palm Springs, I had some VERY EXPENSIVE JEWERLY, "STOLEN" from TSA. YES I KNOW IT WAS TSA !!! But there is NO WAY TO PROVE IT ! So with Steve's help I just bought a small chain and two locks with keys. This way I can lock up my medications and what I have left of my jewelry. Attach it to my purse. I'll open it if they want me too. But I will be standing right there. Thanks for your help Steve read more

They had a tech at my tenants door within 15 minutes, they fixed the lock for their flat call out fee not charging for the clip they had to replace, great customer service. read more

Bought 2 door locks from them and had them rekeyed and installed. Great job. Thank you.

I have used this shop over and over in my business. Just called them out again on Monday 4/13/14 to change locks on one of the buildings we manage. As usual very prompt service. The locksmith came fully prepared with all the tools and materials needed to complete the job. Technician was geat! Had a sense of humor and very quick to get the job done! Have talked with girls in office as well. Very efficient and always remember me. read more

Front door lock was not working. My tech Randy arrived on time, worked quickly, and he first tried to see if we just needed to replace a mechanism inside the lock unit, and not the have to replace the whole thing. I of course would not know the difference. Randy was able to replace just one part and the whole thing worked perfectly. He then asked what else, and I showed him my side garage door lock that had gotten bent in one to many high wind door slams, and he replaced those plates too, again, working very quickly. Was very happy with their honest service and charging me only for what was necessary. read more
