Extremely rude and condescending. As a consumer I was surprised about the pricing, and stated "Wow." simply because I wasn't knowledgeable about what he was referring to when he gave me a cost over the phone. His response was "What is wow about it? (idiot)". He went on to explain to me as if I was an idiot what needs to happen because everyone knows that, right? I hung up because I was shocked and had nothing good to say in return and had no plans to use his services. I don't respond to my new clients that way, but apparently he's busy enough not to have to worry about new business and the reputation I as a real estate professional might give him. Instead, I called my out of area locksmith who charged the same amount with WAY better service. Gabriel Lock & Key is the man! read more

Quick Key - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

My wife and I got home from a week trip to Austin and found we were locked out do yo our cat sitter locking a dead bolt we do not have a key for. Part of being in a house built in 1939. Well I tried to break in myself, but I could not get in any of the openings unless I broke a window or kicked in the door. My wife holding the phone flashlight convinced me... Let's just call a locksmith. She went to Yelp... Found Quick Key Locksmith and I walked a block to get us some dinner. Before I got back with some tacos from Maria Maria... The locksmith had come.... opened a door and my wife was enjoying hanging out inside and waiting for her dinner to be deliver. Quick Key Locksmith was.... Quick:) Gave us a 10% discount for being Yelpers and my wife was very pleased with Adam who did a fabulous job! read more

Ethan is EXCELLENT--polite, professional, on time, reasonably priced. I have used him several times and he has always done a great job. Today he installed a smart lock on my front door and kindly came back a few minutes later when I couldn't unscrew the back of it with my lame screwdrivers to set the code! I would not use anyone else. read more

Quick Key Locksmith did a great job. Professional, Knowledgeable, and Timely.

Ethan was fantastic! Our front door was stuck - the mechanism inside the door was broken so there was no getting in or out. Ethan was super responsive, timely, reasonably priced, and fixed our problem in about 15 minutes. Amazing service! I will definitely be back for any future needs. Highly recommend! read more

I own a salon on clayton and had a client last night lock the bathroom door after she was done using the restroom and we could not get in. I instantly looked through yelp and found Quick Key Locksmith, since all the other locksmiths were closed Udi was the only one who had 24/hr service so i gave it a shot. He said he could come in the morning which was perfect. Once he arrived he worked quickly and also put the correct kind door knob for our bathroom and gave me extra keys to it. I appreciated how he gave me options on what he could do for the door knob. He was very helpful and worked quickly. He finished before my client of the day came in! read more

Talk about quick & efficient service with a smile! I called Quick Key Locksmith to rekey my front door. They were at my place and finished within the hour! THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN 'BOUT!! Udi delivers quality, friendly and professional service. For all your locksmithing needs...I highly recommend giving these guys a call! Thanks, Udi!! read more

So - Quick Key provides SAME DAY service. Udi got hung up on another customer job and called us in advance to let us know that he was running about 15 to 20 minutes late. So why rate 5 stars? 1. He arrived with the right parts and equipment, (all grade 1) communicated about his timing, and provided tremendous value for what he did, 2. He let us know well in advance what the cost would be. There were no hidden charges. 3. In our case he quoted us the work on the spot and got it completed within an hour from the time he arrived. He provided us with three doors, two deadbolts, and five keys. He also gave recommendations to save us money. #4. He did all of this work on Sunday, which is when we needed it done. HE PROVIDES FAST, EFFECTIVE, and EFFICIENT service - while being cheerful and explaining everything along the way. I would hire him over all others in an instant. read more

We had a front door lock and handle that needed to be replaced and contacted Ethan. He took the time to ask questions to make sure we ordered the correct set for the front door. By doing this upfront, Ethan was able to install the lock and the handle in a short amount of time. Ethan is very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely use him for future projects. Thank you Ethan! read more

My front door deadbolt froze. Ubi to the rescue. He added me to the end of his day. Ubi was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I never felt uncomfortable. He cleaned up every piece of scrap and was in and out in less then a hour. Ubi also does home security and cameras. Next time. WooHoo Ubi is as good as it gets when you have to let a stranger into your home. read more

We had a great experience with Udi and Adam. They gave us a free estimate and we made an appointment for the same weekend. Their price is very reasonable. They picked up the locks they suggested for us at no additional charge so we did not have to make a special trip to Home Depot or any other hardware store. They gave us the run down on what locks are easy to break into and suggested a good lock for our needs. They had to do a lot of extra adjustments, cut a bigger hole and did not charge extra for the amount of detailed work they had to do. Our house is settling so the locks get jammed up sometimes. Now all three doors work like a dream. We do not need a key anymore and the locks work great. Whatever you do, you do not want to install your own locks. These guys know what they are doing and it is well worth having them take care of installing the locks and making sure they work ... I highly recommend Quick Key to anyone needing a locksmith or anyone who wants to install a keypad lock ... these guys will steer you in the right direction and they are very pleasant and honest to work with. Thanks ... Patti & Neil read more

I was in the zone, getting stuff done, and as I pulled the locked door to my garage shut I realized I left my car keys inside. Dammit! No spare and no way in. Fortunately I knew to check Yelp and found Quick-Key Locksmith. I called and was lucky enough to get ahold of Ethan. As promised, he literally arrived in twenty minutes and got to work. It took a little work but he handled the job perfectly. He did such a good job I am having him come back to re-key all my locks for me. Highly recommend, worth every star. Thank you, Ethan! read more

Udi is incredible! I am a residential landlord and I've been on the lookout for a good locksmith for awhile. When I moved into a new home recently, I tried Udi for this job. Udi knocked it out of the park. The customer service, responsiveness, and actual work was excellent. Udi was nice on the phone and even better in person. Top notch service, excellent value, and unparalleled workmanship. I won't ever have to find another locksmith again. He will be getting all of my jobs in the future. Hire him! read more

Made a call Saturday morning and scheduled to have Ethan come out the same day at 3 pm. He sent a message prior to coming, was on time, professional, very accommodating, went above and beyond to help! No hidden costs either. Would highly recommend this company! Thank you Ethan. read more

I bought my first home and Quick Key Locksmith ensured my safety came first! Ethan was incredible and came the very next day! I felt really lucky to receive such great service.

If you're looking for quick and amazing service at a fair price this is the place. I was very stressed out when I found out a painter accidentally locked my office shut from the inside. Ethan showed up and was able to get inside within minutes! Would definitely recommend this company. read more

Great locksmith. Was able to come to my house for a rekey and new lock instillation within an hour after I called. Service was quick and very professional. Highly recommend! read more

He came same day to help us out . Very friendly and quick. He is knowledgeable, clean, and super friendly, I would use him again for sure. There is something to say about someone who is willing to help you out on a Friday night when he could have been at home with his kids. QUALITY THANKS! read more

I left a message on Quick Key's website, but I didn't get a call until a few days later. That's okay, as I didn't have an emergency. If you do have an emergency, I'd recommend calling them. Udi was very flexible when I called and met me at my house after I got home from work. I showed him my lock and the problem. I was concerned that he'd have to order a replacement deadbolt and handle, but he was able to keep the existing deadbolt case and replace the actual deadbolt inside. He gave me my pick of quality/expense levels and once I told him which one I wanted, it only took him 10 - 15 minutes to install the new deadbolt. The new lock is much better, the action is smooth and everything fits together very well. Udi was very friendly, accommodating and punctual. I definitely recommend Quick Key if you're in the area and need help with a lock. read more

Quick, very responsive AND flexible. We needed to change the locks on our place of business. The building manager was too busy and said something about when he gets time he could take the locks out and I could take them to the locksmith myself. So I called Quick Key. They came, were finishing up when the building manager showed up. Turned out he wanted all locks keyed to a master key for him. Despite my mistake Quick Key redid all the locks, right then, even though he had another job to get to. As the name said: quickly. He was very fair on pricing. read more

Called around to a few locksmiths in the area chosen based on yelp reviews. Quick Key seemed like the best bet just based on customer feedback and my own phone interaction with Udi. We spoke yesterday and he came out this morning to do an easy job on our new home. I had him rekey 4 locks that all utilize the same key. He was here perhaps just shy of 30 minutes. Cut me a deal on new keys and the job overall I found to be fast, exactly what I was hoping it would be, and affordable. It seems like Udi is constantly on the go between jobs or scheduling jobs but while he was here, his focus was on the task at hand and getting it done expeditiously. I would highly recommend Quick Key locksmith. read more

He is great! Finished job : repaired 3 door locks and re-keyed whole house in a very short time. He was late but called and kept us informed of his projected arrival time. The difference between Udi and other locksmiths we have used is his friendliness and efficiency. read more

I wish everything in life was this easy! it was so easy to set up an appointment. he came on time, went to work without trying to upsell me, and explained when I asked about more options. He changed all my locks efficiently. all in all, I got 2 deadbolts, and got 5 other locks rekeyed. I do wish he had told me one of the deadbolts he put in is a slightly different finish/color than the door handle below, but it's not very noticeable, so I'm willing to let that one go. all in all, he's great and I'd definitely call him again for his services. read more

Udi is great. Super friendly, reliable, and honest. He listened to what I wanted and made it happen. That's how business should work. We bought our home last year and had him re-key all of our locks. He also replaced two cheap entry lock sets that the previous owner had installed with much more secure sets. He was able to finish the entire job in a very fast manner. He left nothing behind. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a job done right. read more

Ethan is a very responsible, knowledgeable technician. He is come on time and honestly set a price. He is very hard worker too. The lock on my door is prefect now. read more

Contacted Ethan at Quick Key Locksmith with an urgent need to have our business protected after an employee was let go and wouldn't return our key. Not only did Ethan respond to my Yelp inquiry in just a few minutes, but he was able to give me some very sound guidance about the type of passcode lock I should get that would pair up with our alarm system. Then, he came out to our business that day and got our locks rekeyed, so we could be protected while we ordered the pass code door lock that we decided on. The new door lock came in a couple of days later and Ethan came out the next morning and got it all installed and working perfectly. I honestly wish that more businesses would spend some time with Ethan so they could learn what great customer service and a caring attitude looks like! I definitely have Ethan in my contacts for future use, as I can't imagine there's any other locksmith out there that cares about his clients the way that Ethan does! Many thanks... read more

They were fast, friendly, and affordable. He even congratulated us on our new house. Definitely would use again.

Professional, efficient, and communicative service. Ethan changed two locks and made new keys in about 20 minutes. He also took the time to advise on the locations and types of locks best suited to our house. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give 6 stars I would ! Udi arrived within the window of time, as promised. And when he check out my problem, it was discovered to be Operator Error. I was so happy my lock wasn't broken, just didn't know how to work it. And the best gift of all, was he didn't charge me for the visit. I will always use and recommend QUICK KEY, to all my neighbors and friends. Nancy Ferrara, Rossmoor, Walnut Creek read more

Contacted quick key locksmith because I was having an issue trying to replace the deadbolt on my front door. He asked me to send over a couple of pictures and a few minutes later they called me back. Gave me a few tips over the phone and it worked! Great to deal with. Will be using them for all my future locksmith needs. Thanks! read more

I called a number of locksmiths before taking to Ethan. I wanted to upgrade my door hardware. Ethan was by far the most honest and professional. He took the time to explain the difference between locks until I found exactly what I needed. Lastly, the install went quick and easy. He was meticulous. I'll be recommending Ethan's services to my friends. I can't see how anyone could find better service. read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Ethan is fantastic, his communication exceeds expectations, he's prompt, he is creative and friendly. I feel very fortunate that I was able to work with him and plan to do so whenever I need help with locks, doors or any of the services he offers. read more

Very professional and helpful! I got a quick response from my request for a quote and the communication back and forth was very thorough and helpful. He kept me up to date on his arrival time and was very prompt. He was there within 15 minutes, whereas other places estimated 40 minutes - 2 hours! Pricing was very fair compared to the other places I got quotes from! read more

Ethan delivers the best service and goes over and above what's asked. He quickly installed a new lock set and lubed the door hinges to fix an annoying squeak that we had tolerated more than a year. He called me back quickly after I left a message and was very easy to schedule. His rates are reasonable! I don't need to shop around - Ethan/Quick Key Locksmith is my "go to" guy for any door/lock needs. read more

It was after hours and everyone was closed. I just kept going down the list I found here on yelp. Finally one place was open and someone actually answered the phone. Udi got there really fast. The whole event was embarrassing for me but he was super polite about the whole thing as I'm sure he sees this all the time. Prompt, professional and very easy to talk to. Good guy. Would definitely recommend. read more

Had 3 doors rekeyed for our new place and Quick Key was extremely quick and efficient. They had everything we needed and even educated us on which locks would work better with each door. Communication was quick and prices were great! read more

Third...er, fourth time's a charm. I had a pretty hectic work week, which results in me being super absent-minded. As a result, I locked myself out of my place...twice. IN A WEEk. Luckily, Udi is just as efficient, friendly, and professional as ever! I'll need a frequent customer card soon. read more
