    Before

    Shawn of Mike's Locksmith is the absolute best!! Our old Mortise lock broke, and we thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to replace it with more modern hardware. I called three other locksmiths before finding Mike/Shawn. Two of them wouldn't take the job because it was too complicated (we didn't expect this setback), and the other would, but the quote/consultation interaction felt off (initially told us it wasn't possible but after ripping through the packaging of our new hardware, he said it could be done; overall felt brash/unprofessional). We are so grateful to have come across Mike (found in the /asksf sub) and scheduled a consultation/quote with Shawn the next day. Shawn arrived on time and counseled us on the specific materials we'd need to make the new lock work (he even suggested more affordable options, but we were set on upgrading the deadbolt and handle). He managed our expectations on certain holes not lining up/will be exposed with the new hardware. On the install day (again arrived on time!), he walked through the work/what to expect and asked for our opinion whenever there was a functional or aesthetic decision point. Shawn turned this whole experience around for us; his deep expertise and thoughtfulness made him a delight to work with. I couldn't recommend Mike/Shawn enough and will be reaching out for all future lock-related issues.

    I was able to make an appointment in the morning for mike to come in the middle of the afternoon to my address in San Francisco. He showed up on time and did the job fast with no problems. Very pleasant guy. I highly recommend Mike's Locksmiths.

    He responded quickly and with a great attitude. In the end, my old locksmith was able to do the job. I would call Mike again if I need him.

    Mike's is an unreliable, unworthy overpriced service. Also their technicians on the road do not know how to drive.

    Mike was on time, efficient, had a replacement door lock ready in his truck, and did a great job at a fair price.

    I called on Saturday night because I was locked out of my apt in the Marina and this location was…read morestated as 2 miles away and SF based. The guy answered and said his "agent" would call me but he's on his way. Eventually an East Bay number called at 9:50pm, and said he'd be there in 30 mins. I asked how much the price would be and he said anywhere from $85 to $140. After waiting almost an hour and a half, he finally showed up at 11:10pm and told me my apt lock was "commercial" and the "driving fee" from the East Bay is $150 on its own and this lock is actually $270 -- but he'd take $180 on Zelle immediately. He then unlocked my door in about 8 seconds. Being that it was almost midnight and I'm a woman alone, I had no choice. I'm not sure why a "driving fee" would be relevant to a business that advertises itself as LOCAL. I could have called the plenty of other SF-based locksmiths and 1) not had to wait much longer than promised 2) not been pressured into a payment that was well over the price that was quoted.

    I was charged $750 for a very simple residential lockout on a Kwikset deadbolt…read more The technician did not disclose any price before starting the service. He only told me the cost after the door was already opened, when I no longer had the option to refuse. This is classic price gouging and an example of deceptive business practice. A standard lockout in San Francisco is normally $120-$200, even for SmartKey models. Charging $750 without prior disclosure is unacceptable. I am requesting a partial refund and a written explanation of their pricing structure. Until then, I cannot recommend this company.
