    Adam communicated pleasantly, honestly and clearly. Although he ran 15 min late, he called before to let me know. Spare key fob was created in a timely manner

    Only good things to say about Alex. Such a hard working guy. He managed to fit me into his long day, getting to my house around 8:00pm to do a relatively simple job...switching out two locks on my front door, and making keys for it. He is super polite & thoughtful. I didn't compare his price with others, but his charge seemed reasonable. Also, the keys he cuts are better quality (thicker) than the basic ones I had. Thank you, Alex.

    Alex is amazing!! We have had issues with our locks for years. We thought it was a lost cause. We thought it was the door that needed to be replaced. After one call with Alex, he recommended an amazing product that would not only look nice but ensure our safety. He is very professional and courteous. He replaced both mine and my tenant's locks. He has a true passion for locks and how they are supposed to work! Thanks to him I never have to worry about letting myself into my house and keeping strangers out.

    Alex was great! Quick to respond, was able to fix my lock problem in under 30 minutes. My key broke into the lock. We weren't able to fish the fragment out, but he brought a matching replacement and was able to replace it immediately. He was very transparent with the price. Would recommend!

    Alex responded quickly on Yelp and diagnosed special-ordering a new lock to replace my rusted lock from the 60s. He was quick in his communication and install, as well as friendly and easy to work with.

    Alex with his very professional portable business!

    I called on Saturday night because I was locked out of my apt in the Marina and this location was…read morestated as 2 miles away and SF based. The guy answered and said his "agent" would call me but he's on his way. Eventually an East Bay number called at 9:50pm, and said he'd be there in 30 mins. I asked how much the price would be and he said anywhere from $85 to $140. After waiting almost an hour and a half, he finally showed up at 11:10pm and told me my apt lock was "commercial" and the "driving fee" from the East Bay is $150 on its own and this lock is actually $270 -- but he'd take $180 on Zelle immediately. He then unlocked my door in about 8 seconds. Being that it was almost midnight and I'm a woman alone, I had no choice. I'm not sure why a "driving fee" would be relevant to a business that advertises itself as LOCAL. I could have called the plenty of other SF-based locksmiths and 1) not had to wait much longer than promised 2) not been pressured into a payment that was well over the price that was quoted.

    I was charged $750 for a very simple residential lockout on a Kwikset deadbolt…read more The technician did not disclose any price before starting the service. He only told me the cost after the door was already opened, when I no longer had the option to refuse. This is classic price gouging and an example of deceptive business practice. A standard lockout in San Francisco is normally $120-$200, even for SmartKey models. Charging $750 without prior disclosure is unacceptable. I am requesting a partial refund and a written explanation of their pricing structure. Until then, I cannot recommend this company.
