John was an ANGEL! I was really having an unfortunate situation of someone having my key that had violated my trust and safety. I called to get the locks changed on my house ASAP and John showed up within a couple hours. He changed everything efficiently and for a great price! So glad to have John in my rolodex and will be back to see him soon for a spare key to my car :) read more

Amazing work done by John. Little to say after loosing my truck keys and home keys he was able to do the work fast! He works with speed and intensity while interacting with you. I highly highly recommend to use them if you lose or break your keys.. affordable for what other places charge. Happy I can go to work now with no problem. read more

Great shop! Friendly! Helpful! Saved me a lot of $$$$. Will def be back for more stuff with you! Will recommend you guys! Thank you

Didn't get their names but they knew their trade. Retired locksmith here and after 35 years in the industry I recognize a well equipped professional operation. These guys are well equipped and ready for whatever your needs may be. Shop was clean and the Tech's were knowledgeable and professional. You need it, they've got it. read more

I was locked out of my garage and I called Mr. Keyman to help get me in. I called and he was there within an hour. I met him at my garage and he picked the lock and made me a new key in less than ten minutes. Then he stayed and helped me try to figure out why my garage wasn't opening and he tried to fix it. After adding some wd-40 and trying to make things work he informed me that I should just contact my landlord about replacing the motor on the garage. He even wrote a note on the receipt so I could show my landlord. He went above and beyond what a locksmith's responsibilities should be and he stayed longer to try to make sure my garage actually worked. He is a solid guy and I would definitely call him again if I ever need a locksmith! read more

Went in store to buy a key clicker, was greeted by younger gentleman as I started to explain the "manager"hopped in. when I was trying to tell him what I wanted he cut me off and continue to make me a regular key which I did not want. I was pretty irritated by being cut off while talking then paying $100 for something I didn't want and truly did not ask for. Rather than make a scene I figured I would call, same "manager" man answered I started to explained to him what happened and of course he cut me off. I didn't want to fight so I just asked please order what's needed and if you could help me with the cost I think that would be fair. He took down my info is what he said. I've called left messages, someone even texted me, called again left messages and nothing...and this was in March. Not happy at all. I have an extra key I don't need I already have 2. I called Day & Knight Security San Marcos the gentleman listen to me and their getting it done. read more

Quick, friendly, precise service. Had two mail keys copied here in about 5 minutes. Love to support local shops like this one!

Had me in and out and saved me about $400 by not going to the dealership. Key works as well as the fob.

Great locksmith, whatever your needs. Professional, knowledgeable, with great customer service. John is really nice, has helped us out on multiple occasions. You can't go wrong. read more

Dude makes keys that work. He won't waste your time, and neither will I with a long review. I get all my key work done here, and have for several years. read more

Called and spoke with John asked for a key & Fob for my truck. He gave a quote along with a promo code that save me a lot of $$$. Dealer was asking $300.00 John saved me also stayed late due to me coming from across town. What great customer Service I received had the remote and key ready and was out of there in 15 minutes. I would recommend this guy to all who are looking for any key replacement. read more

I think it is funny that our service reflected one of the other reviews. When working on one of the three doors it was an outside door and he didn't like the way it was on the hinge and didn't close correctly. So of course he asked if he could fix it and made it close properly. I really have to admire somebody who likes their line of work so much that they just have to see something done correctly. There is no doubt that this business is honest and certainly fairly priced if nothing else. The truth is when I find somebody who does a great job I don't really worry about the cost as long as it seems about fair. All the work was done exactly as planned quite quickly. Everything we needed was available. read more

I was house-sitting for my parents and my brother accidentally locked us out of the house. I was in a complete state of panic and decided to call a locksmith at 2:00am on a Sunday morning. I left a message for John, and by 9am the next day he was at my house with tools in hand. I was worried that he would have to drill the lock in order to get us in, but he didn't even have to! Within a matter of 3 minutes I was inside the house. I could tell that John was a very trusting and authentic lock smith; no tricks, just results. He's very educated on locks - I was quite impressed! I would definitely recommend John if you are ever need a trust-worthy locksmith. The guy is legit. Thanks again! read more

Loved working with John. He re-keyed some things, installed new hardware, and tackled some tough situations. Great work, very considerate, very informative. Would absolutely use again. They might be busy, because they are good. Worth it :) read more

I lost my entire key ring and needed to replace the master key and key fob for my 2002 honda, as well my wife's 2012 Kia. I called Mr. Keyman and got a quick cost estimate over the phone. They were friendly and professional and in the end, they were able to do it all in maybe 30 minutes (for less than I expected)! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has key/lock needs for their cars (older or newer). read more

My 2005 Honda Accord key broke few days ago. Few YouTube videos later I figured out how to transfer the transponder chip from the original key to the blank key I bought online and all I needed was for someone to cut the new key for me. Every other shop I called in the area tried to convince me that I needed to spend $160 buying the key and the chip from them and have the program it for me, or else the car wasn't going to start. I finally ended up coming to this place. I told them all I needed was for them to cut the blank key for me and they did exactly that. No hassle! In 'n out in less than 15 minutes. I highly recommend these guys. read more

I now know why Mr. Keyman John has such great reviews, he's simply the bombdigity of key/lock people. Very professional on multiple levels. He made my needing to re-key my locks as easy as possible, even on a Saturday, and went above & beyond even solving a p.i.t.a. lil problem I was having with one of the locks! read more

I love this place. Besides the high quality work, what keeps me coming back is their great customer service. I live in Carlsbad and have a local key shop that is closer... but it's worth the drive for the service they provide. read more

I was @ Home Depot running errands & I saw this establishment... My husband said he could but a new clicker for my car & program it but I couldn't take another push of a button that didn't work.. I have 2 small kids & not having a lock or unlock button us a pain in the butt! So I went in & got a quote if $85 to me that's a little pricey but the sanity it would bring is priceless! The guy who helped me was quick & efficient! I was in & pitiful tiger in like 15 minutes! Worth every penny! Great help & quick? Yes! Will tell my friends about this place! read more

Great service. Repaired my door and ignition locks on my pick-up. Saved me a ton over replacing the locks at the dealer. They are very knowledgeable and essentially diagnosed my problem when I described it, then confirmed it when looking at the truck. They have an actual store which is great and I highly recommend. read more

I phoned about a lock issue & got a call back as I was leaving voicemail. John met me within 30 minutes, was completely professional and helpful.

Awesome job I called this guy and he saved me like $100 by telling me just to do a simple fix

Best service I've received in a long time! Purchased 2 chipped keys and remote entry for my car. John had everything done within 30 mins and at a fraction of what I would have paid at the dealer. Very trustworthy and honest business. read more

Lost my keys and called 3 locksmiths. Locksmiths would't do automotive. Kept calling around and another locksmith recommended Mr Keyman. 30 minutes later Mr Keyman arrived and price was less than quoted based on my situation. So cool to have an honest representative and saved me $60 by being honest about not needing the additional part after all. Thanks Mr Keyman! read more

My boyfriend had lost all of his keys at work and had no spare key for his car. I called Mr.Keyman and he gave me a time frame that he could be there by and showed up right on time! He had a new key made for a 92 accord in about 10 minutes of getting there! He gave is a great price and even made another key for only $6 more. Will definitely recommend Mr.Keyman to all my friends and family! read more

Used them for years, there have been a lot of personnel changes and the costs are extremely high now, service is really lacking. Best to go elsewhere read more

One day I randomly find out the lock to my case was jammed. I ended up twisting the crap out of my only key attempting to open up the case with pliers with added force. I had no choice but to reach out to the professionals. I went with Mr. Keyman. I spoke with John who was very accessible and had me text him photos of my case, lock, and key so he could get an idea of how to tackle the problem. John even gave me advice in regards to saving money v.s. the urgency of the situation. I ended up having my key copied into a more solid key that will not twist like my original did. However, my lock was not budging even with the new key so I requested for John to come to my place and fix the problem. Overall I payed around $100 for his professional and efficient service. John treated my case with respect and aimed to not ding it in any way. Matt from the store was professional as well, he was the one that made my new key with was extremely quick. All in all I highly recommend this place! read more

These guys helped me out big time today! I had just got into a fender bender and we had a situation where the key got stuck in the trunk. I called Mr. KeyMan and talked with the gentlemen and asked him if he knew of any ideas on how to help me get the key unstuck. He was able to provide me with a couple of different options, which happen to be unsuccessful. We made the decision that it would be best if he came out to us. Within 20 minutes he arrived, look at the problem and fixed it! Mr KeyMan save the day! These guys are awesome and really nice! Thanks for helping me out big time today! read more

I was trying to change the key to my kwikset door handle when the cylinder failed. I took it in to John and not only did he keep me from buying a new $50 cylinder, but he fixed mine in no time at all! John was very friendly, went out of his way to save me money and overall just a pleasant experience. I know where I am going if I am in need of a locksmith! read more

Fast, friendly and efficient. Remote keys are expensive and their prices were the best I found.

Quick response. Completely professionally done Toyota Prius! Done in 2 minutes. Takes credit. Cards and gives a receipt. VERY PROFESSIONAL

He was on time, pleasant, and clearly was an expert in his field. He gave me a great price and was in and out in 30 minutes. John is the only person I will be calling from now on for my locksmith needs. read more
