Asked Mario for his business card while he was changing the lock on an individual mailbox at the neiighborhood mailboxes. He was extremely rude when I asked him for his business card. He said I didn't know what he was doing. He had a box opened and was changing lock. He was in an unmarked white van and I know the people that deliver from USPS and because of the clothing and unmarked van, didn't think he was a city employee. I asked again for his business card. He looked in his wallet, said he didn't know if he had one, then found one and gave it to me. After giving me the card, he said he was protecting the mailbox owner's privacy. I never asked him or looked at the box he was working on. My neighbor's will often ask for business cards of worker's at my home, and I do the same, it's a good referral and safeguard system. I've never had anyone reply so rudely. I know who NOT to use. read more

Mario was amazing! Our dog managed to lock herself in our closet that had a deadbolt on it (why we dont know!)...but Mario was able to get out to me in 30 min and got her out as quick as could be. Great skills and friendly! read more

Mario to the rescue (as I can see he has done for a multitude of others) while we were out of town on vacation and our housesitter niece was locked out of our house with a key that broke off. He worked with us by phone even though we were unsure of her availability to meet him at the house. When we called with firm details, he was swift and thoughtful ("Why don't we make it 30 minutes later so she doesn't have to rush?") He was thorough and made 100% certain she was safe, that she was who she said she was and that my husband and I knew what he was doing every step of the way (and not a "kidnapper.") :-) SO glad we found him/them and though we hope never to need those services again, we would call him in a heartbeat if we do. read more

Arrived home from a long weekend to find out I left my house keys inside before we left. I locked only the handle lock from garage access door and since I was on vacation, switched by normal purse to a travel one. I called Mario right then and there and he said he would arrive within 45-6Omin. He called 25 min later advising he would be here in 10 min. Quick service, very friendly, didn't seem rushed even though it was already 6pm. First time having to use a mobile locksmith for my home and he made it go smooth and grant access to my home quicker than I anticipated. read more

I needed my safe opened. Mario was great! I called him this morning and he was there within hours. Fast,Courteous,and most of all his Prices Are The Best In Town!!!!! I would recommend his services for anyone looking for a great locksmith,CALL MARIO read more

I called Mario based on his Yelp Reviews and proximity to my house "Thanks Yelp" and he answered his phone at like 6PM and was at my house by 10AM the next morning to Re-Key my entire house. Mario gave me honestly, the best deal that i'm 100% no-one within 50 miles of me could have matched. He was quick, trustworthy and I didn't even meet him in person. I have a stay home (working) wife and therefore, is why reviews to me are crucial at who your going to choose to come to your and walk inside with your wife. After speaking with Mario, I knew he was a solid guy I could trust to re-key my house. I would highly recommend Mario to my friends, neighbors and family in the future. Thanks. Nick M read more

I used Yelp to engage this business. I was in a panic. My front door lock was "frozen" on "locked" so door would not close. Period. I used Yelp!!! This gentleman (Mario Melendez) trusted I needed help and gave me a 40 minute window. He was here in less time than estimated and quickly and professionally introduced himself, assessed the situation, a few very knowledgeable twists and turns, some spray and a new lock was installed. A very nominal and reasonable charge for his time and parts and I knew I had found a great new service in my area. Thank you Mario. Panic OVER!!! read more

We just moved in to our new place and after looking at Yelp found this and was not disappointed very friendly and on time. Would recommend this business to everyone. read more

This was an example of what service should be. I called Mario on a Saturday morning, fully expecting to make an appointment for a future date to change out all of the locks in our new home. He ANSWERED his phone first of all, and then shocked me when he said, "Did you want me to come do this today"? 90 minutes later he was at our front door and was working in no time. Fast, professional and did good work........I'll definitely use him again whenever we have a need for a locksmith ~ read more

Very fast definitely would recommend to anyone who got there keys locked inside their car as I did haha excellent service!!

I locked myself out of my house, Mario showed up at the time he said he would. He was able to unlock my front door (no special lock, just basic) for the price of $95.00. Fast and friendly service! read more

Mobile Lock and Safe is awesome! I locked myself out of the house and not only did they arrive in 20 minutes, but he was friendly and got the job done quickly! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

Easy to call and schedule, showed up on time, was friendly, did the job quickly, and price was fair. Highly recommend Mobile Lock & Safe.

I had a really rough two days this week. My car was broken into and a set of my house keys were taken. I was so busy filing police reports and did not get around to calling until after 2pm. I talked to Mario and told him my situation he got to my house by 5pm and by 6pm my house house was rekeyed (3 doors). He was very nice and did a great job the locks on the home were old but he still managed to get it done without having to replace the locks. I highly recommend him and this company. They did a great job! read more

My husband had locked one of our outside gates, and then he passed away. I just couldn't find the key to that lock. In nothing flat, Mario took that lock off. All very professional, but he was also very nice. I will call this business again for sure if I need a locksmith in the future. read more

Great Locksmith! Called the number at 7:49pm and the operator said they'd be there in 15-20 minutes. Locksmith got there in 11 minutes. We were told the price would be $75 but we paid with a card so it was $77.50. Mario got us in the house within seconds and was really friendly. If you need someone quick in the Oceanside area, Mario is the guy to call! read more

Locked my keys in my car. Horrible start to my first day of training for my new promotion. Mario came to the rescue and in less than 15 mins. I didn't have enough money to cover the whole fee but he came and saved me anyway. I'm new to the area and had no one to call for help. So it's nice he had enough heart to care. I appreciate him so much. Good to know there is a locksmith you can count on. Thanks again Mario read more

Super helpful. Got to me in 15 minutes from my call, professional, friendly, efficient. Would definitely use again!

Locked my keys out on the way to the beach. Mario was super fast and helpful! Got in and out quickly and efficiently, didnt hurt car at all. Price was fair and he was able to take my chip card! Hope I never get locked out again but if I do I'll call them up again definitely! read more

Extremely professional and quick service. I was locked out of my vehicle with the keys in the ignition. Mario showed up within 30 min of calling and had the keys in my hands within 10 min. Highly recommended! read more

Just thank you:) So kind, so professional. Intensely unusual circumstances with needing a lock changed from 500 miles away with someone repeatedly letting himself into my mother's home while she was in a skilled nursing facility - Mario just made. it. happen. Collaborated w neighbors and managers and friends down there and BAM. Wow. Just above and beyond AND he was so compassionate. He moved a mountain for me during the most difficult time in my life and I'll be forever grateful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. read more

We needed a locksmith to re-key 8 locks on the house. We called in the morning and he said he would be there within two hours. He arrived within the time frame and was extremely courteous and professional. The job was done quickly and he made sure we checked the new keys...and had us make sure the old ones didn't work as well! I would recommend Mario and Mobile Lock and Safe to my family and I would use them again should the need arise. Thank you! read more

Really impressed with Mario's service. We just closed escrow and he was super accommodating by fitting us into his schedule! Mario is super polite, professional, and friendly. He was able to re-key all of our doors to one key (lucky for us that we had the same type of locks/manufacturer on all doors). I would highly recommend Mobile Lock and Safe and will definitely call them should we ever need a locksmith again. Thanks so much Mario!! read more

I locked my keys in the car at Wal-Mart. Mobile Lock & Safe was there promptly. I felt like the amount that I was charged was reasonable. I would call him again, if I had to. However, this was the first time that I had done that since high school. So hopefully I won't be calling a locksmith again for quite some time. read more

Great service. I locked my keys in my car at a gas station. They were able to come and unlock it within 30 minutes.

Spendid service on what you call a minute to minute notice! Mario showed up so quickly and even after starting off with wrong directions, he still made an amazing recovery of our night that had not quite started since moving too quickly to shut the security screen door (locked from the inside) to my friends apartment... whoops... "my keys are inside", she says! WHAT?!?! Being I'm so careful about things, can sometimes lead to these type of mishaps! Luckily I had my phone "in hand" and started immediately to YELP to find the nearest "lock smith" service and found this great company! They answered immediately and had to explain frantically that we are locked out and need help asap....as we were about to leave for a comedy show event in La Jolla with only 40 minutes to get there! From the initial call to showing up to my friends apartment in Carlsbad, and relieving us of our anxiety - all took Mario 20 minutes, amazing! The price was fair and paying by credit card made it just about effortless! We are now your friend for life - thank you for making the night special! We did make it by 5 minutes to our event and the night did not end without more special moments, possibly because these guys made it happen! read more

Mario was great! Very professional and helped me out on a last minute request on a Sunday. I will certainly use his services again.

Mobile Lock & Safe is fast, knowledgeable and very courteous. We got same day service and a job well done. I will call them again.

Two years ago I called Mobile Lock and Safe because my friend's key got stuck in her door and she couldn't get into her house. Mario was there within 15 minutes and replaced her old lock set. We both were immediately impressed with his professionalism and politeness. After he left we talked about how wonderful he was. On August 6, 2018 I needed to change my locks and called my friend to ask if she had his business card or remembered the name of the company. She said she remembered his name was Mario. I did a search of locksmiths and it didn't take long to find him. There were all these wonderful reviews, i.e., Mario was amazing, Mario to the rescue, Mario fast-courteous-respectful. I knew I had the right company. I called and set up an appointment for that afternoon and he was everything I had remembered and all of the reviews were spot on. I highly recommend Mobile Lock & Safe. read more

What happens on a rainy Saturday? Your son locks his bedroom door then shuts it behind him so you have to figure out how to get the darn thing open again. I'm pretty handy so I got myself 90% of the way but the last 10% wasn't happening. Instead of coming out to my home and charging me the standard $125 emergency fee, Mario walked me through the steps over the phone to do it on my own. Now I know how to fix the lock AND who to recommend if a friend ever needs a locksmith. Thank you! read more

I called their office around 10pm at night and Mario was at my door within 30 mins. He was extremely professional.

Fast, respectful same day service made mods to steel door on the spot to expertly mount hardware. Made it look easy ;-)

Mario came to our home to re-key the lock to our front door. He was prompt and very professional! The price he charged us was very fair. He answered all of our questions. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. read more
