Called for late night help about an hour and 20 minutes ago, for rekeying, very nice locksmith (Stefan? or Sirfan?) arrived and redid and gave us the factory keys -- the whole job is already done.... Very patient, answered questions, friendly, obviously very good at his job! Really think this is reasonable rate for so very late at night and the super quick response. Thank you so much for being there 24/7 for us in San Francisco!!! read more

Over priced and would not recommend. I called for a locksmith and they said they'll contact me in 5min but never contacted back until I had to call them again 30min after. Then they told me that they will break the window if they can't get the door unlocked and I probably had to pay for the service of them breaking my window. I also asked them for a receipt but guess that was forgotten too. read more

Broke the door charged over 700$. Worst experience ever got. He damaged the door badly and he was saying first 499$. We didn't expect even 499$. On the phone was telling 299$. Such a scam read more

Just used them because I was locked out only took 30 minutes but charged me over 700 to replace a lock because it couldn't be picked. This was at 11am so not a crazy time. He didn't tell me the price until the end just said oh I will give you a discount, and then hit me with the 745 and added I could add a tip. Definitely recommend going elsewhere. read more

Bro named Bar was a true hero. I lost all my keys and needed to get into my car as I do not live in SF but instead about an hour away. He came quick, communicated to me perfectly and got me into my car and ready to go in less than 15mins. I've never seen anyone work as fast as him. To top it off, he charged way less than what the dealers would and as in already in a financial pinch, this was absolutely the best possible outcome. Big thanks to him for helping me out! read more

The pro was that they were quick to respond and that's about it. The cons were the following. 1. The locksmith, instead of picking the cylinder of the lock, tried to slide a card to force open the door. Which chipped the door, we photo below. 2. Tried to blame the door instead of taking responsibility. 3. Tried to superglue the chipped part back, dropped the glue which spilled on the floor, didn't help clean up his mess. 4. Was rude about the whole process and made it seem like it we inconvenienced him trying to make the situation right. I would not recommend this company. The customer service was poor and the technical skills were subpar. read more

Unfortunately I have to change my review for this company. I was sold a defective key that does not work. Upon driving the vehicle my car would not recognize the key (Chrysler Pacifica 2017). I took a video in order to explain the situation better to the assistant over the phone. The video shows that upon starting the vehicle w/ the key once turned on it it will state the the key fob has left the vehicle and it does not recognize it. The video shows clearly that this forces me to pull over even though the key is next to the dashboard it still wont recognize it. I have to pull over turn the car off and restart by pushing the key to the ignition. This happened multiple times and thus I thought it best to try and get a refund for the defective key. I would have had no issues paying the service fee, I was simply looking for my money back due to the defective product. However, see below as none of this has gone smooth. The next day I called to ask for (1) a refund because the key I was sold was not sold at a fair market value to begin with and I have video evidence that it is defective. Attached you will see the locksmith receipt for a key that was banged up and scratched vs the quote for a BRAND NEW KEY straight from the dealer. $545 vs $320.45. Instead I was offered a $100 refund on a bill of $669 not an option for me. At this moment I am working out option (2) work with the company to resolve the defective key issue in order to be able to drive the vehicle. I paid a hefty price for a product and it should be a product that works. I still have not reached a resolution and quite frankly working with this company has become a NIGHTMARE that I wish I would have NEVER called them. I have kindly requested an exchange instead of going the refund route in hopes that I can atleast get a key that works with my vehicle. read more

Locksmith SF - San Francisco CA - the actual key received from the locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Stupidly locked myself out, they got someone out in about 30-40 minutes. Only took the guy maybe 10 minutes to get me inside, then they proceeded to charge me $275. Absolute rip-off -- they said it was $75 alone just for him to drive out, then $200 for the service. Like how is that remotely justified? A 10-15 minute drive is the same cost of a tank of gas? This pricing was not mentioned on the phone, or anywhere on their website. Don't hire this company unless you like lighting money on fire -- plenty of cheaper options out there. I'm sitting here wishing I'd just smashed a window instead... read more

Be sure to hire this company if you want to be dissatisfied and still have to pay. I googled a locksmith company and found, http://www.losangeleslocksmith.me/ I spoke to a dispatcher and I told them I needed a remote for my vehicle but I was also having issues with my ignition switch. He said "No worries, we will check it once we arrive". Ok cool, so I'm waiting and I get a call from another guy, which was this one, Locksmith SF. I assumed the other guy told him about my ingtion switch and the remote I needed programmed. But in was wrong, the guy gets out and checks my car, says its $200 for the remote. I ask for his name and he said something with a K, I cant recall. As he proceeded to find a remote, unorganized van, to program it, he brings out his phone and YOUTUBES a video on how to program the remote. As I catch him on the phone, he tried to quickly turn his screen off. That did it for me, the guy wanted to charge an arm and a leg for a $23 remote and 3 min job. I got in contact with a Ford technician, in Vista Ford Lincoln Woodland Hills, to confirm. I paid the guy $50 for the visit and snapped a picture of his car for this Yelp review. The 2nd time I ask for his name again, and he said his name is Ben. HE CHANGED HIS NAME QUICK! He tried to be confrontational as I walked back into my home, refusing his service. He walked towards my door and stood there after I told him that I no longer needed his service. As I asked him to leave the property, he kept saying things under his breath. I have video proof of how disorderly and unprofessional this man is. And I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS SERVICE PROVIDER. read more

Locksmith SF - San Francisco CA - Ben? And his unorganized vehicle - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Francisco, California

Technician did great job, service fee not disclosed clearly, and it was outrageous-almost as much as the job.

I mean... the job was done but the price was a bit ridiculous. I was charged $300 for an emergency unlock after being quoted $200 on the phone. A very nice technician came to help open my door b. I ended up Venmoing him $300 anyways because the task was already done and he had driven a long way. However, I was on the phone with my boyfriend who had spoken to a couple other companies who would be able to do the job at between $150-160, so I would definitely look around first before choosing a locksmith. Getting locked out is a stressful experience for everyone and this company has paid to be at the top of Google results with an easily searchable name. Even if you're distressed, I encourage you to scroll a little further to find a better deal. read more

What GREAT service! I called, talked to Angela, who was really nice -- and she put me through to the nearest technician. Boy was I lucky!! Mo the locksmith was amazing!!! He was here within minutes and took less than a half hour to rekey two locks. Seriously the nicest young man. I hope he and his family find love and happiness always. read more

I found this business on a google search and gave the first number that showed up on my google search a call. I spoke to Kristy over the phone and requested a residential service. I was quoted $29 for the locksmith to come to my location and the other service charge will be announced once he arrives. I've look on the other yelp reviews and I've seen some crazy quotes of $300 for the same job I'm requesting for, LUCKILY, my locksmith guy, Adan charged me way less. You the man ! I could understand locksmith business can't give a estimate quote on how much the job will cost. I paid a reasonable price for the residential service, Adan took about 30 minutes to get the job done, this time included the ETA he's going to be at my location and the amount of time he was able to unlock my door. This service today saves me time and money. Thank you for the quick and professional service. I highly recommend this company if you're ever locked out residentially. I haven't had their other services, but when I do I know who to call. 1. Efficient 2. Trustworthy 3. Take cash/card Thanks again Adan. read more

John was great. Fast. Reasonable and knowledgeable. He communicated through out the process. Highly recommended read more

Locksmith SF - San Francisco CA - My new key in only 5 minutes - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Francisco, California

I had no idea what it would cost to get the gate door unlocked before I called this service. After seeing some reviews mentioned $300 or so, I wanted to know the price before they come out. They assured me that it won't be the case but I also understood it depended on the lock. Long story short, they answered the phone right away, the technician arrived in 10-15 and unlocked the door in about 15 min. He was very polite and knew what he was doing. I paid $180 for the lock that's on the outside gate door. read more

I wish I could give a lower rating than 1 star DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE!! They force you to put a false review before paying. You think you have a good working key after spending $500 whole time it's a defective key that will eventually require 5-7 minutes of attempting to unlock your car. They know what they are doing and don't even get me started with the BS warranty. They don't want to help they are scammers. They need to be shut down. They don't care about customer safety. I tried reaching out via email 3 months ago and it got blocked. I called and they said they can't help me. I pray this business shuts down. It's not that hard to mend the problems you created. read more

It was a Sunday and I locked myself out of my unit. Locksmith SF arrived fairly quickly. Their office is about 5 min away from me so it wasn't far. It took him about 1 minute to pick the lock. $329. Good service but insanely expensive. read more

Locked myself out of front door. Called a few locksmiths, and one of them even quoted me $100. Since Locksmith SF had an earlier availability, I chose them. They told me that it would be 29.99 for them to evaluate, and they would give me the price on site. I repeatedly asked if they would be able to do it for less than a 100 and they refused to answer. The locksmith came and immediately quoted me $289. While he did the job fast and efficiently, I really would have chosen the other option. At least the evaluation fee was waived. 3 stars for doing the job promptly. Those last two stars are because I feel scammed that they could not give me a quote on the phone as fast as the other guy. Had I known, I would have waited. read more

Adan from Locksmith SF did an excellent job gaining access to the locked trunk of a family vehicle. He responded promptly and set up a time to perform the work. He assessed the job and went to retrieve a specific tool for this make and model. Price was fair and work was completed relatively quick. Definitely would hire again. read more

I locked myself out of my apartment so I called LocksmithSF and they dispatched to a guy who called me back. I met him at the front door of my apartment complex and we take the elevator up and walk to my apartment door. He then says to me "you're probably going to hate me, but the cost Is going to be $350". Note that my apartment round door handle has a standard lock core that should be easy to pic for an experienced locksmith. So I said "why so expensive" and he gave me some BS excuse that "it's San Francisco" and "I have to keep my rates the same as my competitors." So then he does a classic "well, I can drop the price $50 if that helps you feel better". I said "I don't have $300 cash on me" he says "you got Venmo", I say "sure". So then I say "can you do it for $250?" Of course he said "yeah, sure!".. so now I'm getting steamed because this guy is spending 5 minutes jiggling the pic in the key core until finally he decides to use a wedge bladder to crank air pressure between the door and the jamb. I said "hey, won't that damage the door?" and he says "no, it will be fine, I do this all the time". So I'm watching and it's become clear to me that he isn't a good locksmith. (I wish I would have looked on Yelp before calling this company because there is another 1 star review, describing someone from this company doing the same thing to their door, and damaged it, and tried to super glue it, but dropped the glue, made a mess, etc.) So then I stopped the guy from going further. I have some knowledge of how easy it is for a locksmith to pic a lock on a standard Schlage key core. I told the guy this and asked him to stop. I decided that I would keep calling the security at my apartment complex to get them to do a "lock-out" after office hours call. So the guy says "are you want me to leave?" and I said "yes, I want you to leave." So he was starting to say something but stopped when I pulled $40 from my wallet and said "For your trip here", which seemed very agreeable to him. I'm thinking about the way this hustle went down tonight and I regret telling him about my puppy that I had in a crate. I was very anxious, and this guy, no doubt picked up on that. Perhaps that is why he started at $350 to do perform what should have been a simple task for an experienced locksmith. I couldn't believe that he was so incompetent that he was going to attempt to use an air wedge and a "wonder bar" to try and reach behind the 10" lock security guard to disengage the deadlatch from the frame strike. This was a terrible experience. The guy that came out is shameful and it reflects very poorly on this company. This sort of shady business practice appears to be part of their business model. Really nice, prey on people who are in desperate situations. Do yourself a favor and avoid calling this company. Never again. read more
