He's also very friendly and easy to talk to. Definitely, recommend him and will work with him in the future. read more

Alex is very responsive when I was seeking a quote for the rekeying service. Pricing was reasonable. I liked how he first identified the two hour window that he planned to show up and then called me half an hour before actual arrival. He also did a good job and resolve the issue for me efficiently. Thanks! read more

Alex is amazing. We had an issue with the lock getting caught / stuck, and the same day we discussed Alex came over and fixed it in no more than ten minutes. He also helped with a slightly tangential issue with locks, and explained what he was doing, how he was fixing it, etc every step of the way. He's great at what he does -- a true professional! read more

Nova Locksmith - Property front door - locks changed!! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Francisco, California

Called about a front door lock, answered instantly and came the same day. Kind people, worked diligently, and did an awesome job - will 100% be using them in the future. It was honestly a pretty complicated job with the lock being completely disassembled, and there was a smart deadbolt needing installing - he stayed into the evening to figure it out and get the job done, and stayed to check the smart lock worked with my app. Also figured out that the door hinge had stripped screws, something I would have never noticed but now I can get my contractor to fix it! Good pricing as well. Thanks so much guys! read more

Had a great experience with Alex at Nova Locksmith. Lost the keys to my self storage unit and needed a locksmith to drill it out. Alex got in touch with me in a few minutes after requesting quotes on Yelp. We worked out a time to meet that was flexible for my schedule and he showed up right on time and ready to go. The work only took a few minutes and I was able to get back into my storage unit. Pricing was competitive or better than the other replies I did receive through Yelp. Would definitely recommend Nova Locksmith and use them again for future needs! read more

Alex came to the rescue when our deadbolt jammed at 8:30pm and we found ourselves locked out of the house. He gave us a clear ETA, drove out to Alameda from SF, and arrived as quickly as he could. After drilling extensively through the lock, he got us back inside and installed a new deadbolt on the spot. We're so appreciative of Alex's quick response, quality work, and expertise. read more

Outstanding communication and timeliness, professional and quick. Will def hire again for changing locks and getting key duplicates made!

My daughter locked the downstairs bathroom door and I could not get it open for the life of me. Sent out a request for quotes and Alex was first to respond. He was very responsive and gave me the best price, even matching a lower offer. He came and took all of 5 minutes to get the door open for me. I'm keeping his number in case I need him again in the future. read more

Our business hired Alex to help switch out our locks so they can meet safety standards. Not only was his pricing was very reasonable, he was also a great communicator and met all of our expectations. I highly recommend him! read more

Arrived within 30 minutes of my call, was able to unlock my door with a tool underneath the door without having to drill, and unlocked within 8 minutes. But he was rude, freaking cracked my wood frame a few times with a tool and said it was cheap wood, and charged a TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLAR ($250!!!) FEE. Update: I guess he was rude because it was Rosh Hashanah and he forego'd being with his family to help me with my door. 20 other places I called quoted $95 to $150 but they did NOT want to quote over the phone since they said they'll need to see the lock and what they need to work with. I only went with Nova Locksmith because other places were unavailable due to Rosh Hashanah or just being booked up. So be prepared to pay $250. read more

Nova locksmith was super helpful with our move. This is now the second time we've used his services. I reached out to him about our move, and he was very communicative about the plan. 1. He went with me to my old place to remove the Smartlock he had initially installed 2. and then immediately went with me to the new place to install it there. 3. He helped install a few other smartlocks 4. Also replaced a few other locks with privacy locks He made a few recommendations about our other locks and warned us how we might get locked out since we didn't have the keys. We scheduled a time to meet later that week, and sure enough. We got locked out. He came immediately and got us in! Highly recommend him. He's great at communicating and knows his stuff! read more

My 5 year old locked us out of one of the bedrooms. Contacted Nova Locksmith via Yelp. Someone responded within 10 minutes. Two hours later Alex arrived and my problem was solved.

Alex, of Nova Locksmith arrived at my building to change out the lock for the front door of my lower flat. He repaired and replaced parts to a hundred year old door and hardware. It has never worked better. Multiple keys were cut right at the curb. Very professional and a really nice guy. I cannot thank you enough. For the quality and expertise, I highly recommend. read more

Alex was super easy to deal with, prompted in his responses and the most affordable by far. I asked him to swap out a doorknob lock and a mailbox lock because I lost keys (embarrassingly), and he was able to address quickly and properly in the most professional manner. As a busy landlady, I highly recommend his services! PRO tips: calling seems to work better for Alex as his hands are usually busy doing his magic haha Make sure to send pictures of your locks that need help and really really really don't bother asking for other quotes. I wasted time to know that Alex was my guy. read more

When he came to site, he was very efficient, communicative, and also very polite! Thank you for your all of your help, Alex! I would call Nova locksmith again in a heartbeat. read more

Alex came to rekey two of my front door locks. I originally bought two new locks to replace the old ones. He told me my locks were still good (deadbolt was high quality lock) and he could rekey them instead of replacing them with the not so high quality locks I bought. It saved me some money! Alex was friendly, professional and prompt. I highly recommend his services. We will definitely call him again for any future locksmith needs! Thanks Alex! read more

Great communication prompt response. Gave a few options to the issue. I wouldn't hesitate to refer and use Nova again.

Alex was fast and in the area. Literally at my Oakland house within 15 mins and I wasn't even there. Someone stole the lockbox to my home and I was across town being a busy mom. He was polite, optimistic and worked with me to get my locks replaced. He took extra steps to verify who I was so he didn't just change locks for some random crazy person! In addition to that, he hid the new key in a genius place and sent me a video. He was done within minutes. I would use him again in a heartbeat! Price was very reasonable! He's worth every penny and I can't thank him enough! Thank you so much Alex! read more

My dumpster mansion got broken into and I had to change all the locks. I had five doors that needed to get rekeyed and locked and one door that I couldn't get into - that's the thing about bad thieves; they break things on the way. So, I called Nova Locksmith and Alex was easy to schedule with. He showed up, went right to work, and promptly changed all the locks and keys. He was very easy to talk to and knew this shit. Also, he has no signs of weirdness to him which is important for a rat that lives alone - no one wants a crazy ass locksmith to come in later for an unprompted visit. Also, the pricing is fair. I would definitely recommend Alex for the office, home, or whatever situation you're in. read more

Highly recommend Alex from Nova Locksmith. He does great work, very professional, great conversation and reasonable prices. Will work with your schedule. Definitely will use him again if needed! read more
