I had one locksmith come to replace my car key and they couldn't do it. So they referred me to locksmith monkey and he managed to get it done in under an hour. read more

Locksmith Monkey is awesome! Barack was prompt, was outstanding with customer service, and made the process of getting in my truck and rekeying it a breeze! Professional, quick, and quality service! One of the best auto service responses I've ever had! Came to airport parking lot and got me out of a jam!! Thanks Locksmith Monkey!!! #thebestkeys read more

I needed a key made for my car and the technician came out. I went outside and explained the situation and he grabbed me by waist and squeezed my buttocks and wouldn't let go. It was awful. He said, "you're perfect, I'll fix this in no time, why don't you go inside and relax" ummmm..... I called the main office and they said, "he has a wife and kids"... Then the dude who did the sexual harassment called me and said, "I have I wife and kids, I didn't mean anything". DON'T TOUCH YOUR CUSTOMERS. DON'T TOUCH ANYONE. read more

I had a broken VW flip key that would have cost a fortune to fix at the VW dealership. Barak didn't have the key model originally but ordered one and followed through once it arrived to come to my home to make me a new key. Great service, nice guy, good local business! read more

After two different locksmith companies had failed to open our jammed roof terrace door, I called Locksmith Monkey. They dispatched Leo to our home the same day. Leo assessed the situation, told us what he needed to do to release the door and the cost. We agreed and Leo went to work and released the door. Leo was delightful, knowledgeable and determined. The cost was reasonable. We highly recommend the combination of Locksmith Monkey and Leo. read more

Barak came out right away and was able to open an office closet door that accidentally got locked and make a key for it. He was super fast and responsive. read more

I emailed Locksmith Monkey to re-key 2 doors on our house, totally not an urgent sitch. They got back to me super duper quick, and were easy to work with. Barack was on time & got the work done quickly. And it was really affordable! Highly reccommend. Will definitely be hitting these folx up again when I need new keys or anything lock-related. read more

I've got a 100 year old mortise lock that was stuck in the locked position. After a month (!) of trying everything, including taking the door of the hinges and damaging the wood around the lock, we decided to call these guys. I spoke initially to owner Barack and he told me his son Kevin would be out within an hour. Kevin showed up right on time, and had the door unlocked in two minutes for a very reasonable price. I'd not hesitate to call these guys in the future--before i DIY and damage things myself. read more

Great service and fast response. I would do more business in the future with this company. Saved us money and did solid work. read more

Beware: I called a service (503) 594-7668 on 2/1/13 to help get me into my condo unit. I had lost my keys while running. The dispatcher was courteous and assured me a locksmith would arrive within 20 minutes and cost $39 for service + additional charge depending on effort required. Locksmith Monkey is the service that was dispatched. Sadly the locksmith arrived 1 hr. 20 minutes later with his 6 yr old daughter in tow. Before he would pick my door lock (which literally took no more than 3 minutes) he required I sign an invoice guaranteeing I pay $159. Given I was cold and wet from my previous run and because his daughter was there, I relented. I called the dispatch service the next Monday and was assured the manager, Jamal would return my call after investigating. Thus far, Jamal has not called me back and I've followed up 2 additional times. Lesson learned here but beware! read more

I locked myself out of my house late at night. Uhg! These folks saved me quickly. They were fast and kind. Would definitely recommend.

I'm impressed. First company I called said they would 100% have to drill thru the door...then this guy came right over and got in within about 100 seconds. Highly recommend no question. read more

This is the sketchiest company I have ever had to deal with. A couple weeks ago I was quoted $300 to drill the lock of my apartment door, because my key was not working. It was the middle of the night and I had no other choice but to agree to it. One of them men asked if my windows to my apartment were open, and hopped on his van and climbed through my window. He spent minutes inside my apartment. Finally came out and told me I needed to pay $300, though NOTHING had been done. We argued about the price and he went and got his boss out of the van. They made me feel threatened and the boss told me that karma will be coming after me. They talked me down to $150, which is still completely ridiculous. They yelled, they slammed doors and then sped out of my apartment after I told them that I was calling the police. Fast forward 2 weeks and our company needed a locksmith to come out and fix the lock on our cash box. Unknowingly, our secretary called this same company. The "boss" showed up and quoted us $145. The owner went back and fourth with him and it ended with this guy telling him "whatever, have a good life." There was more to this story, but it is mostly just drama. We took our cash box in to a locksmith today and we were charged $20. We saved $125 by not being threatened into using this piece of sh*t company. They have a grade F on BBB. That's saying something. read more

I recently bought a house and needed it to be re-keyed. I noticed that locksmith monkey had a bunch of great reviews and so I tried them out. EXCELLENT decision. I am not one to write reviews normally but I had to this time because they were so great. I had a total of three doors and one specialty door to re-key and they did it no problem and at an excellent price! They arrived on time and were very easy to deal with. Very good people here. One of my doors is a specialty door that he didn't have parts for at the time but he said no problem not to worry I can come back with the parts and change it. Don't even bother looking for a different locksmith. They know their work and they are excellent. read more

ZERO STARS: Here's what happened with the Monkey biz: ME: Locks keys inside trunk, on a Sunday morning, in the parking lot of a shopping mall. Looks on Google and calls first locksmith that pops up: LOCKSMITH MONKEY Dialogue: OWNER: $25 for locksmith to come out +$15 for unlocking. ME: OH so $40??? OWNER: Well the $15 is the starting cost depending on the car. (He said he couldn't specify price on car models) OK ignorant ME in my head: OH Toyota Corolla then should be easy. But if it's difficult then just a bit above $40 right? Locksmith arrives very quickly, within 15 minutes! HUGE PLUS! He looks at Corolla and after 2 seconds he says: OH this is gonna cost $125. You can pay CASH or 10% more if you use a credit card. How the hell did the OWNER NOT know a Corolla would cost $125, yet the locksmith monkey HE sent to me knew it in 5 seconds?? ME: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? $125 from $40??????????????????? ME in my head: I need to get this car moving ASAP so will pay now and cry later. I was desperate. (AND IGNORANT) Tech WAS DONE IN 5 MINUTES! Once I was no longer in a hurry I started calling other locksmiths because I felt I had been robbed. Indeed I had been. I got firm quotes from others, for Toyota Corollas for $49.99. Period. When I called the Locksmith Monkey owner to find out if the $125 charge was legit, and to complain about the way he was dishonest with his customers, or rather NOT UPFRONT ABOUT PRICING, he said "You're right, thank you for the feedback. If this ever happens again, call me and I will give you a 30% discount." The owner told me it was a family business, but if you check out their legal history, it ain't that good. Before using this company folks, read the other reviews on yelp, something is shady. I was ignorant and desperate and wish I had read the yelp reviews before calling them. I've since reported this company to the www.oregon.gov/CCB. my last words to you regarding LOCKSMITH MONKEY: SCAM ARTISTS. Don't be a SUCKER. DO YOUR RESEARCH. read more

When you call, they will tell you there is a $25 trip charge. Then $125 AND UP for the key, based upon make of vehicle. When you ask what the key charge is, they keep repeating this. I wanted to know so I wasn't caught up in something like what actually happened. In REALITY, they showed up (I was told 30-40 mins, but waited 2 hours for him to show) and the quoted amounts don't include the key, OR an extra programming charge. Those are the LABOR/SERVICE charges. I my case it was $60 for the key and another $129 to program it. This is classic bait and switch in the service sector. When I asked why they couldn't tell me the fees upfront (the programming part is a standard fee, he says) he tried to deflect, saying he has a laptop to pay for, and a Website he has to access for information. Come on. You know your fees up front and I asked for them! I understood the key cost varies. Oh and he didn't even get the key programmed right, I had to go to the dealer and get my keys done after all of that. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Fast service, no nonsense. Bills insurance directly.

Barak was great. Needed to do his research to get my bmw X5 after-market keys and fobs coded correctly but he got it done. Was cheaper that purchasing them at the dealer. He arrived and did his job. Can't ask for much more but.. 4 stars only because 1. I wanted to pay with credit card and had to use a check 2. Had to "discuss" about the cost for doing my 2 keys. Was quoted one price on the phone (another person) and another charge told in person read more

A little sketchy at first but showed up on time busted out a key in less then 5 minutes had me back on the road in no time. Great work definitely using them for my future issues. read more

Locksmith Monkey was so helpful, easy to work with and professional. My husband was concerned about spending over $400 at the dealership and I found Locksmith Monkey online. They came to our home and quickly fixed our broken FAB, giving us a new one for less than half of what the dealer would have charged. Good-humored and great service. Much appreciated and recommended. read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. The driver / service guy (a tall, skinny, creepy looking guy with a big sweatshirt and glasses) came to a screeching halt one night on a dark street complaining to me that he couldn't figure out where I was when I locked my keys in my car. I gave him clear directions. He instantly berated me, hassled me, and was rude, rude, rude (in a way that seemed scary as a single woman on a dark street downtown at 11pm and nobody around to help me). He charged me 3x the price other places had quoted (my total being $130), saying I had to take it because he was there first. I should have driven away from this asshole, who decided to yell at me - the customer! - for calling him out on being combative and angry when all I had done is keep my mouth shut. He told me it was my fault for making him drive downtown from Gresham... that's your job, man. Being a 24-hour locksmith means driving around, helping people get out of a jam. Don't blame the customer. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!! It's a scam. read more

Locksmith Monkey - This is what "Customer Service", Kay H, had to say in response to my review. I have bank statements to prove it. These people are scum! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Last night, my key broke off in my trunk. I called around this morning when I got up to see if I could get it taken care of before heading in to work. I found these guys and asked if he'd be able to meet me at my car (which was about 10 minutes from my house) in half an hour. He said 30-45 minutes. This would have still given me a reasonable timeframe to get to work by 11am, even if the process of making a new key took up to 45 minutes. He quoted me $125 over the phone for the service call and the new key. I was there waiting at my car 30 minutes later, and nearly an hour after I'd called he still hadn't shown up. I called back to check his ETA and he said he'd be there in 8 minutes; it was another 15. I knew at this point I would be late for work, and although he was able to get me a new key, the entire process including a very lengthy checkout because I'd requested to pay via credit card (didn't happen to have $200 in cash on me) did take nearly 45 minutes. It ended up costing me $175 rather than the $125 I was quoted. I wanted to argue it but was already so late for work I couldn't take the time to do so. This was really a huge bummer on both counts of untimeliness and a very inaccurate price quote. read more

Bait and switch. I was told the cost would be 15 dollars for coming out plus 35 dollars to unlock my car. When they got there they said "Oh, well for that kind of lock we charge 125 dollars plus 15 dollar fee for coming out, but he 'kindly' reduced to to 85 dollars for unlocking the car and 15 for coming out. I have a 2001 Saturn, so it's not an exotic lock AND I told them what kind of car I had, so it's not like it was a surprise. The time it took them to open my car? less then a minute. read more

TL;DR - Expensive, but got the job done. I got locked out of my apartment. I had already called two other locksmiths and was getting very frustrated. So, this is the next service in line. I call them, they come over and the quote me $175. Very expensive. But I'm tired, I have to work in the morning, and I don't want to have to call someone else to come open the lock. The guy who comes over knows what he's doing. 5 minutes later, he opens the lock, he replaces the deadbolt (for 35 dollars more) and I pay him in cash. He also is familiar with the other person who came to my apartment and failed at opening the lock. We chat about her for a minute or two, and then he leaves. I get into my apartment, take a shower, sigh at how I'm $210 in the hole, update my mint.com account, and go to sleep in my warm, inviting bed. read more

We were locked out of our apartment here in Beaverton, so we called and were told that it would take between 30-45 minutes for the locksmith to get here, and that it should probably cost around $60 depending on how easy a lock it is. We ended up waiting a little over an hour but remained understanding, we were just eager to get back inside. It took him about 30 seconds to unlock the door, and then he says that we owe $160. Cash only. We only have $100 cash in our apartment (we don't carry cash that often) so we give him what we have. He told us if we give him, personally, a good review on Yelp he'll let it slide. No, sorry, over an hour of wait time and $160 for a lock that takes 30 seconds to open is still not deserving of a good Yelp review. Especially when the only reason we needed a locksmith was because our apartment management office happened to be closed. Here's your review. read more

My elderly uncle traveled with my family for the holidays and when we returned he had lost his only keys for his car. After being told by three other "locksmiths" that I found online that it was impossible to make a key for his vehicle, I called Locksmith Monkey. On the phone they were very friendly and told me that they could send someone out within the hour. Their locksmith, Barak, arrived and told us he would have it done within 30 minutes. I was skeptical because so many others said it could not be done. 20 minutes later the key was made and my uncle had his car started. Thank you for a job well done. read more

These guys were great. They came after dark to fit me in, were fun guys and had the best price in town. I would definitely use them again! They also did a great job with 2 laser key cuts that many other shops wouldn't even touch. I sincerely appreciate their service and expertise. read more

Great service. I locked myself out of my new Volvo and couldn't find my key anywhere. LM showed up promptly within an hour and a half of my call. The locksmith immediately helped me get into my car AND gave me great advice on how to find my key, which I found within 10 minutes of their visit. They are helpful, honest, personable and reasonably priced. I live out in West Linn and they didn't mind coming out here. If you need a locksmith, these guys are really great. read more

Awesome service! I lost my ignition keys to my Toyota. They were able to come out within an hour on the weekend! I had a new working key in 45 minutes. Total lifesavers. read more

I used Locksmith Monkey and was very pleased. In googling locksmiths, MOST will add on a service fee, so just ask about total price when you call, as most locksmiths charge a service fee in addition to the the initial price of $25 plus per lock fee. I mentioned the price difference that the service fee added to the original phone quote, and I was pleased that they were very fair about this. They asked me what I was quoted and then asked me what I felt was a fair price when I explained I hadn't know about the service fees that I've read are standard with this industry. They worked with me on cost and really appreciated it. I was very pleased with them and found them fast, efficient, and very. I would hire them again and really appreciated their generosity in adjusting the price for me! read more

We just called Locksmith Monkey to open our car. The gentleman was very very nice and helpful. We will use Locksmith Monkey again! Thank you read more

Great job. Ilan was on time to our appointment and completed the job quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable price. I have a old house with an old style lock. Ilan was able to save the lock mechanism and replace the broken bolt portion of the lock, thus retaining the same key to match the other locks in the house. I would recommend him and use him again. read more

For some reason my recently installed "keyless lock" with coded entry at my business stopped working yesterday - meaning no one could get in and no one could get out through the main entrance. Not good and not safe. I looked online for emergency locksmiths and called Locksmith Monkey. They answered the phone promptly and sent someone who arrived within 20 minutes. Phew! Because it was not a "simple" fix - a keyless lock is not as simple as regular locks - it was not clear whether or not Michael would be able to fix it immediately. But he rearranged other clients to make sure that he got the job done. I was very pleased with the final outcome. read more

Ilan was friendly and efficient. It was more expensive than we thought. When the elderly home owner fell, Ilan helped and was calm.

Fast, courteous, knowledgeable service. Helped to quickly get our trunk open before heat sensitive musical instruments were damaged in the heat. On a SUN eve around 5PM I 1st called another co. that advertised 24hr service. Got such a rude, disinterested female who had no warmth, tell me it would have to be MON. After I pressed her on their ad contents she didn't offer any apology or excuse on why it wouldn't happen. Locksmith Monkey gave great phone customer service to match the great in-person assistance. read more

We were so pleased when Wes showed up after we had locked ourselves out of our home on a Saturday morning. It took him about 20 minutes to get to us from the time we called & he was efficient & friendly. We would call them again in a pinch! read more

Barak fixed the jammed lock on my garage door. He was available the day I called, was friendly and efficient, and incredibly reasonably priced. I really appreciated the fact that he gave me suggestions for what to do to keep the lock from jamming in the future. I will definitely be using Locksmith Monkey again when I need help with any lock. Highly recommend their service. read more

I lost my single company car key due to taking several sets of other vehicle keys in and out of my pocket about 20 times during a business trip. It wouldn't have been a problem at home as never lock my front door from the inside until I first verify that I have my spare car key - I carry a backup for my personal car ;-) So here I am stranded away from home with very few options and of course it was late at night. I called Locksmith Money and talked with Barak who sent out his brother Ilan to save the day. I have heard of several locksmith bait and switch scams so I double verified my expectations of timing and price ahead of time - that I would have a key in my hand before I paid anything. And they followed through with expertise, integrity and friendliness. Well done and thank you! read more

Found this company on yelp and could not have been happier. He arrived on time, did the job on site in a timely/professional manner and did not rip me off. In fact, my friend calling him today to rekey her whole home too. 100% RECOMMEND. Glad I found him and you will be too. read more

Context: My key would not turn in the ignition of my 2002 Ford Focus nor would the wheel turn. Very common problem for a Ford from this year. I needed a new ignition. 8:30pm at night. Service: Awesome, Elan (Elad?) was very nice and friendly. He arrived around 9:30pm and took about an hour to drill out and replace my ignition cylinder. He was able make it for my original key as well which was great. Would hire again :-) Price: Somewhat less awesome. I am stoked they did not charge me any extra for the service being after business hours but the total was more than I read online the service should cost. They charged $350 plus $25 for the visit which is more than $100 over what other locksmiths are charging but it is still less than what a Ford dealer would have charged me for then same service. I also asked if I they took credit cards over the phone and they said "of course" but then they said cash or check after the job was completed because no one was in the office to run the card after hours. It would have been nice if the person on the phone could have told me this in advance. It wasn't a big deal for me but I could see how it might be an issue for others. All it was a good experience. I am so happy to have my car back and the car started up better than ever with the new ignition. Thank You! read more
