Mohamed H.

I called in this locksmith. We agreed on a certain price to change the lock cylinder after he knew the scope of the job from the pictures I had sent him. When he came, he proceeded with the work, and after he disassembled the lock, he says he would charge me extra and even more for 4 key copies, I felt cornered to agree on the cost. What's worse is that after he finished, he came back with 3 keys only and and if I want more keys I will have to pay him again. He keeps changing his cost in the most deceptive way. That is not a trusted service company, nor is this the way to run a business.

Amsec Keypad wouldn't engage safe to open deadbolt.

Friendly, professional and honest. Mario came to my house to re-key my front door but we discovered that the entire door handles needed to be replaced as the lock was stripped and couldn't be repaired. Mario gave me lots of options and I decided to pick up a new lock at Home Depot and he agreed to come back and install it. Of course the lock from Home Depot turned out to be the wrong one and I had to exchange it. In total Mario came to my house three times to do one job, but he was always courteous and professional. He is easy to reach and very reliable. I highly recommend Mario and his company Mobile Lock & Safe! read more

Best experience I've ever had with someone who could not make money off of me but still wanted to help. You don't find many folks like Mario! I called Mario at 10 o'clock on a Friday night, in desperate need of a locksmith for a Honda, after waiting two hours for a "towing and locksmith" in the area that took my credit card but never showed. Mario heard the desperation in my voice and said,"I cannot help you in this situation, but I know the guys in the area who can, and I will reach out to them and call you back." Less than fifteen minutes later, Mario put me in touch with a colleague in the area who was able to make the needed key. It is rare to find someone who is willing to help you- after hours, and without profit on his own part- but that's the experience that I had with Mario. I would highly recommend Mobile Lock & Safe- an honest, responsive business. read more

I do not recommend…read more We used this service for the 3 year contract we signed up with. I was a bit hesitant at first as the owner was a bit opinionated. Service seemed like it was OK, but seemed very glitchy. Used low grade equipment, like Ecolink wireless contacts which are not reliable. They go directly to malfunction when they have a low battery rather than show the low battery among other issues. Honeywell Vista panel, kind of junk and not every good. The main panel is fine and smoke/motion seem ok. But for over $800+ in equipment and install. I think we got ripped. App they use sucks! Glitchy! Fast forward 3 years. New house, decided to have Dana move the Equipment. He stated we could not move the equipment to the new home. I said to myself, that's a bunch of BS. I paid for it, it is coming. He said no, gave me some BS and I decided not to fight it. So he made us buy new equipment. This is not proprietary equipment. We did not rent the equipment, we bought it. Only the Cell device in it we leased and I think now that is where he took us! Clever scam. But too late for me. So Dana installed in our new location. Be aware he talks a lot during install and takes longer than needed. All seemed to be working fine. This was March 2025. 1 year later I have not bothered Dana for anything. Nothing. We noticed several times the alarm was set off and we did not get any calls, or if we did it was 1-3hrs later to check. For us this was not right. My wife was not keen on keeping the service with this guy, she just did not like the service or dealing with Dana. So we texted him and emailed him politely to cancel the service. At this time we cancelled we also installed new windows as well. Some of the sensors were not working. I called Dana for some help while we still have our service active why the sensors do not work. I fixed all the sensors and everything was OK. So, I told Dana he did not need to come out and fix it and charge us $125 service fee. All is fine and at that moment, I said to him we will maintain the service as long as we can test the service to see if the monitoring service he uses will call us. I tested twice with no calls, one for over a 1 minute of the alarm going off before resetting it. Dana claims there is a buffer. He said he will remove it. I said, why is there a buffer, 30 sec sure, but I can assure you and I told him I told him about this problem before where the alarm was triggered for way over 1 min and no one calls. He did nothing about it then and we still have the problem. Anyway, Dana stated he will remove the buffer. I said fine but let's test the response time and if OK we can maintain the service. I was about the hang up and Dana thought he hung up but he did not. He stated to the person that was next to him, that "Jesus Christ this guy is a pain in the ass". I said, "Dana, you did not hang up. So I am a pain in the ass huh?" Then Dana goes on whole insane Ad Hominem Rant. How I am above everyone else and that he is sure no one has ever told me that I think I am above everyone. Etc.... Lots and lots of insults for no reason whatsoever other than he got caught talking bad about a customer. Anyway, I laughed at the end of his speech and said, "whatever Dana". That was my response, nothing more. Then he promptly sent a text and email cancelling our Service April 30th. "that is final". I was nothing but nice to this clown and he did the whole flip out and flip the blame to tactic. Ran out with his tail tucked. Good for us, now we will have a service that is done well, monitored well and has higher end equipment and thank the stars I never ever have to deal with Dana again in my house, on the phone or for any other reason! I highly suggest looking elsewhere, he is cheap, cheap for a reason!!!

I've used this locksmith service on several occasions they've always been within their quote, on time and provided professional service. The last time that we did business they installed cameras in my home the job was done before the do date his people were very professional and I couldn't be happier with the results. I chose Mobile Lock and Safe for my camera install because I was already familiar with their professionalism. Two years ago I purchased a safe from this company and they installed it at my place of business. They gave me a great price on the safe and installed it the same day I purchased it! I definitely recommend Mobile Lock and Safe Inc. read more

I needed a locksmith to change three door locks in a hurry. I used Yelp to find Mobile Lock & Safe. I am so very glad that I chose them!! Mario, the manager, was very nice and very helpful. He squeezed me in to his busy schedule and was great at keeping me updated on the time of his arrival. He replaced all the locks and made sets of keys on the spot. The cost of the appointment, parts and extra keys was very fair and reasonable. The locks and keys all work perfectly. I am totally satisfied with my experience with Mobile Lock & Safe. I would 100% recommend them!! A+ read more
