I called on a Thursday, and I was offered a next day or Saturday appointment to have a deadbolt installed. I scheduled for the following Monday, and Darrin was on time at 10am. He said he could adjust the current lock, or I could still add the deadbolt if I wanted. I opted to add the deadbolt for security, but when was the last time a company tried to save you money? He keyed the new lock to match the keys we had, and had all the work done in less than 30 minutes. Best $152 I've spent in a long time! Thank you for your friendly, prompt, and reliable service! I will always support a small business when possible! read more

I called several places that had good Yelp reviews, and Modern Lock gave the best quote, so I chose them. Darrin was available the next day and did a great job (rekeying 5 locks, fixing one that had some obstruction, and making duplicate keys). read more

Notified Darrin and this business as I live out of San Jose, and needed some to assist my mother. I emailed first. Darrin was very responsive. As a matter of fact, he endured - patient at that - all of my emails answering questions. He was out to help my mom within an hour and his price was very reasonable. Thank you, Darrin. I will use you again. read more

Darrin was fantastic. On time for the appointment, re-keyed my new house - all keys worked perfectly and the locks are in working order. Fair price - he appears to be able to handle just about anything with his mobile transit-van workshop. Highly recommend him. read more

Best locksmith service I have encountered. Problem and solution found immediately. Darrin prompt, couteous and swept up the shavings! Arrived right on time and very reasonable prices. It is nice to meet someone in the service industry who understands service. read more

Gave a great quote, showed up on time, worked efficiently, apologized for taking another call, charged the estimated amount, and left. Would use him again and refer him to friends. read more

I needed my front door lock replaced, and Darrin was on time, friendly, fast, and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend him!

Prompt, efficient, excellent service. Called late yesterday and Darrin came early this morning to change a lock. Friendly and reasonable $ Paid with VISA and got receipt immediately. Definitely would use and recommend him in the future. Judith Willow Glen read more

I called Darin and told him what I was trying to accomplish which was adding a keyed lock on a bedroom sliding glass door...a long shot since the last locksmith I had out to change all my door locks said it wasn't possible. Darin said to text him pictures of the door. He said he could do it!! Unbelievable. We scheduled an appt. He was on time and friendly. And in no time, he had the keyed lock on my sliding glass door!! A long awaited wish come true! Thanks Darin!! read more

Daren is the best! He's done 2 separate jobs for me. Great quality of work, on time, readily available, good advice about what lock to buy, flexible when I needed to change the time and more economical than other locksmiths. read more

Just had my door locks re-keyed. The person who came to service is Darrin. Very professional - and fun to chat with. Showed up in 30 minutes. Did it quickly. Charge is very reasonable - he will tell you over the phone. I got his number, 408-294-2364, email darrin@modernlock.com, from another person who used him in the past. His service is much better than other Morgan Hill locksmiths I found on Yelp. Don't waste your time contacting anyone else. read more

They are never open, they don't return calls, and they don't often answer the phone. When they do answer the phone they will tell you they are closed, or on vacation, or taking the day off. Why have a storefront if it is always closed, and has inconsistent hours. read more

I had Darrin come out to my house to rekey it because we weren't sure who all had access to it during previous remodeling and short sale, etc. He helped us change some of the non matching locks to reduce the number of keys needed, told us where to wait until later to make changes save some money since we had to spend a lot on the down payment, and showed which locks were cheaper to rekey instead of replace (so I replaced that lock with a new one from a garage door company). All told, it was only $170 including parts, labor, service call, and taxes, and he showed up on time and had it all done quite fast. I'd gladly use him again and recommend him to friends also. It's a small price to pay to keep your house safe and secure. read more

Darrin's a jewel. Just yesterday I scheduled the appointment for today, and he was right on time. Awesome! I needed a bunch of locks rekeyed, and he quickly figured it out and even had some good ideas that I hadn't thought of. He's a first-rate problem solver, obviously loves what he does, is a true expert, doesn't overcharge by any means, and to top of it like the cherry on the frosting on a cake...he's friendly, too! I enjoyed chatting with him while he diligently worked. He won't waste your time or your money. He also has quick smartphone credit card capability to make things go as smoothly as possible. Service like this just doesn't get any better. Thanks a million Darrin!! read more

we've used them several times for installation of an access system - including install wiring through a 100 year old basement - rekeying doors, etc. Service has been courteous and well done and I plan to call them again. One caveat - don't try to contact via email, use the phone. read more

This is the best locksmith I have ever did business with. Darrin is very polite and professional. I always get my keys done at his shop and anytime I need new locks installed at my office building he is my go to guy. I highly recommend him for your commercial and residential locksmith needs. read more

I needed to re-key a home. They answered the phone and we discussed couple of potential times available, they called me back in less than 15 minutes confirming a time that worked out. David arrived on time and worked efficiently, he re-keyed 6 locks and even corrected the direction of one of them. He had a written orded with the price quoted. Overall, this is a serious and efficient business. read more

We had to change the setup of the lock for our front door. I talked to a few locksmiths, most of them had no clue how to do it right and suggested to change to whole set which would cost a fortune. Darrin resolved my problem with a very reasonable price. read more

I was super happy with Darrin's help - fast service at a reasonable price. All the keys work! He re-keyed some locks for me plus keyed a used doorknob to match and gave it to me for free, for whenever I get around to attaching it to the side door to the garage (DIY special from former owner: a door with no hole for the doorknob). I'll call Darrin again when I need to change locks for new tenants. read more

I manage commercial office buildings and have been using Modern Lock for well over 5 years. He is a mobile locksmith and goes where I need him to be. Prompt, knowledgeable, reasonable. Not only does he make key copies, re-key locks, and all that, he also set up our key pad entry system. Always just a quick phone call away. read more

Once again, Darrin saves the day! Always a pleasure doing business with him. Outstanding job! Thank you.

I'm so glad (and thankful) that I read the Yelp reviews and decided to go here! I had a big task of making 10+ various keys for my job for a motor coach, file cabinets, etc., and they made this very overwhelming job much easier! As a small, family-owned business, I appreciated their focus on being customer service oriented. I only met the owner's son but he was very helpful and personable. They were very accommodating on which times I could stop by. Highly recommended. read more

We lost our main garage door key and called Modern Lock for their mobile service. The owner was on vacation, but his son was available. He was on time, polite and professional. He was able to discuss our garage door lock system (it's really old) and advised me on the best approach for the future. He also helped us with a tricky door and everything is working great. Definitely will use them again, if needed. Highly recommended and appreciated. read more

Had a few instances in which we needed these guys to help rekey houses. Always on time and very reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Darrin is the absolute best locksmith you can find. We had to rekey our commercial doors (which are more difficult due to the thickness) at our office because our landlord put in the wrong locks. Darrin rushed over within an hour and installed brand new locks on our doors. His rates were reasonable and we also used his Yelp certificate and it saved us a bundle! We will definitely use Darrin from now on. read more

I had Darrin rekey the locks of my house. He was recommended by my real estate agent. He was friendly and courteous, and made sure that the job was done to my satisfaction. He even helped me program the remote for the garage door. read more

Based on the Yelp reviews, we called Darrin to rekey 3 locks. He arrived at our house promptly and got to work right away. He quickly rekeyed our locks and even fixed a loose door knob. Thank you Darrin! I would definitely call on Darrin again for locksmith services, and I highly recommend him to other people! read more

I met Darrin early in 2016, and have used his services for many things. He is very reliable, on time, and extremely honest. Every job I have had him do he has done perfect and on time! I highly recommend him to everyone! He also stands behind his work. He is very kind and polite. read more

Made an appointment earlier in the week. Drove 45 minutes to be there on time to accommodate locksmith's schedule, which happened to be 1.5 hours before my open house at same property. Never showed. Never called, even after I called twice and texted to see what was going on. As a realtor, I am always asked for referrals for anything house related. This will not be on my list. read more

I had them my keyless remote transmitter programmed for reasonable price. The shop opens 11am and I had to wait till they open.

Not sure I am having a problem having him emailing me back with the product specs. Tried email few times and spoke on the phone but never got what I needed. Seems like he is a nice guy when I spoke to him and reviewed I read. read more

Called Darrin and he could describe the likely problem with the brand/model of lock which gave me confidence in having him take care of it. Darrin was on time and was able to overcome some issues with the original installation as well a problem with the manufacturing quality of the replacement part and get the job done quickly. read more

Very professional and quick service. Called them to rekey my home and was happy with the service

Darrin cares about his customer's satisfaction, and that shows in the high quality of his work. Very professional. He's one of the best contractors I've hired. Thanks, Darrin! read more

My wife and I needed to rekey our house and install some door knobs and deadbolts. So I contacted Modern Lock and Security. I scheduled a time in the afternoon. Darrin came out to the house on time. He is very knowledgeable and helpful in installing and rekeying my door knobs and locks. Darrin gave us a good price. He even helped us with our garage door and garage door opener without any cost to us. We recommend him to others to fix your locks. read more

Darrin is the awesome!!! My house lock broke and could not get in at all. I called and he came right over, got me in and fixed my house lock. Hes the locksmith to call if you get caught in a rut! read more

I agree: Father and son are both reliable, efficient, well priced and pleasant to work with. We've used them on two separate occasions now and we're very pleased with their work. They arrived when we requested and were punctual. I highly recommend Modern Lock and Key, read more

I found Modern Lock through yelp and I am glad I did. We have used Darrin twice now, first to change a front door lock and the 2nd to change all the old locksets in our condo. Both times he was on time, quick,personable and very affordable. I highly reccommend Modern Lock and Darrin especially. read more

My friend down the road had to have her locks rekeyed, and I had mentioned to her that I needed to do the same. While Darrin was working at her place, she asked if he could swing by to give me a quote as well. He came promptly, quoted a very reasonable price and had rekeyed my locks within 20 minutes. I then recommended him to my sister who lives around the corner and she also had hers rekeyed. After he left, I realized I forgot to ask him about the lock on the door to our backyard which keeps getting stuck. He came back, fixed it and didn't charge a penny for it. Professional, efficient, reasonably priced, and friendly. Great experience!! Would highly recommend. read more

great service! opened the lock for our suitcase in 10min.
