These guys are real pros. Both men today were super humble, and opted to stay low-key. Before asking any CSA or customer service All Star if theyre open to being featured (pictured) in a review,I always give them the proper respect and courtesy and ask them first. All that said, this was a super super busy and hectic day with the crowds given the incredible weather. It's basically July here in LA proper in early March. (Wow) My old 2013 Chevy spark has run its course through all of its remote fob keys. As a result, I thought I would have to go to the dealer where I know they would kill me with the price. ($300 easy-is I'm sure most of you know). I was in and out of here in about 15 minutes for $20 bucks. Nuff said! read more

Ralph's Key Shop - $19 Total - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Keys were duplicated quickly and price was very reasonable. Park in the Farmer's Market parking, they validate. Location is right in front of World Market. read more

AVI IS THE BEST LOCKSMITH ON THE PLANET! HE RESOLVED AN ISSUE THAT NO OTHER LOCKSMITH COULD! (I needed a key fob that was discontinued by Mazda.) Avi is my hero, and I will never go anywhere else. He's also a really nice, patient guy, and his prices are fair! If you need something more complex than just having an extra housekey made, call ahead to make sure Avi will be there-or schedule an appointment with him over the phone. And if you need to wait a bit, for something like a car key fob, hanging out in Farmers Market or walking around the Grove is an added bonus. (Avi will call you when your key is ready!) They're located next to Cost Plus, and parking is free for 1.5 hours, with validation from Farmers Market. (Actually 2 hours free with validation from Cost Plus). read more

If the man at the counter was incredibly rude, I said hello twice before he even looked up at me and I know he hurt me. He had resting bitch face the whole time. I feel like he was the same last time I was here. Definitely will not be coming back. Rudest person read more

Avi cut a key for me on a new key fob ! purchased on Amazon. It works perfectly and he was very nice. A reasonable price too! Thanks Avi, you're the best! read more

What an angel! I was so scared when I nearly lost my keys the other day! It convinced me to get ALL my keys copied - including my car key, which he successfully did! The dealership would've charged me an offensive amount... Thanks!!! read more

I bought a key fob online, then brought it to Ralph's for programing. After spending time on my key, it was discovered that I bought the wrong type of key fob to Ralph's, but they offered to fix it when I brought the right key (basically spending twice as much time on my key but not charging extra). I went back with the right key, and it works perfectly. read more

I have been coming to get keys made here for many years. The young gentleman at this place has a huge array of keys, is very skilled, professional and polite. They do a variety of technical services. I highly recommend this place and the friendly staff working here. read more

Avi, was Great and fast! I couldn't believe how quickly my keys were done and they ALL WORKED! Thank you so much Avi! He even color coded them for me, he was very helpful. I'm a sucker for great service. read more

Ralph's Key Shop - Get your keys made, QUICKLY - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Avi was very helpful and fast! He is cash only but let me know that World market next-door offers up to $40 cash back. While he made my keys I got to shop for some lovely things for my apartment. I'm glad I didn't listen to some of the negative reviews. He was a very sweet man and works hard to keep his business up and running!! SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES! LEAVE A TIP!! In my experience, people meet you at the energy you give them. If you meet someone with negative energy, are demanding, cold or rude, that's what you will receive. If you approach people with kindness and warmth, your energy will met and reciprocated!! Avi has a bunch of fun options for keys and also makes garage door clickers and car key replicas. They are contracted as well so if you get locked out of your car or home they can provide service 24/7! I'm so glad I got to chat with him and learn a little bit about him and his business. Stop by and get yourself some fresh keys! read more

Ralph's Key Shop - My cute keys and holder! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Excellent service. I brought in a key that virtually nobody was able to duplicate. I had been everywhere. They had the key, and at a very reasonable price. They were also able to copy my car key, which is no easy task either. They took care of me right away. And we're super friendly. This is now my go to key shop. read more

Got some keys copied today with cute designs. Price is reasonable, service was quick and efficient. Importantly the keys work great, feels better than the original set. Cash only. Will come back again. read more

Would highly recommend this place. Avi was super friendly and helped me duplicate my work keys and they came out perfect and looked soo cool. They have a really wide selection of keys and get the job done really fast. Will definitely be coming back if I ever need more keys made. read more

This key shop is a hidden gem. Great Customer Service and excellent work!! Good job.

This key kiosk at the Grove / Farmers Market has been giving me great lock and key service for past years. Check

Not at Ralph's... Quick... Friendly... and Professional Service at a Great Price... and Best of All? Keys ALWAYS WORK!!! Get Your Keys Made at Ralph's... You Won't be Disappointed!!! read more

Ralph does great work and is really friendly. The fact that he is at the Farmer's Market make getting a key fun.

The BEST key service in L.A. for DECADES. These gents have made perfect copies for me too many times to count -- both for residential keys & commercial ones. They are TRULY knowledgeable & skilled at what they do, especially with properly identifying the right key "blanks" -- even for old locks. They also replace batteries & program auto remotes and such. This charming stand at the Original Farmer's Mkt. (next to the Grove) was good b4 these gents took over. Now it is SUPERB. I have NEVER had a key made by them that didn't work. NEVER. Not meaning to put pressure on them (it is carved metal after all) but do yourself a SOLID and skip the multiple trips to Home Depot or those awful self-serve machines. You will be a devoted fan on 1st try. It is worth it even if you have to drive MILES extra to save the headaches & go to these guys. Parking is validated for 90 mins & I highly recommend parking in the easy, open lot where the Container Store is (enter at the light from Fairfax & go left - not right). You can pick up some nice items at the Fmr's Mkt while there. Ralph's is right in front of Cost Plus & the Coffee Bean. You're welcome :-) read more

Mr Avi's customer service was excellent. I needed a Kia Spectra 2009 extra key. He was able to make the key copy and also programmed a new remote which they sold as well. I tested and all is working perfectly. I truly recommend this shop. Thank you for everything Mr Avi. It was a true pleasure! read more

Ralph's Key Shop - Mr Avi and I - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Such skilled craftsmen. The copies are so high quality that even after duplicating a copy from a copy, it retained perfect ridges and never failed me. Every copy I've gotten elsewhere (automatic kiosks etc) has failed me but never the work of Ralph's Key shop. Also such rapid service. Was able to get 9 keys made in a matter of minutes. read more

very nice and professional place! using them for years and always happy with the jobs they did for us! Nice people!

Great fast and efficient service. Best place to get my keys copied. Avi is very knowledgeable and professional and very helpful !

Best service ever they were so nice. They were so professional absolutely incredible. I highly recommend you get keys from Ralph key shop at the Grove 10 stars all the way. read more

Zero stars if I could. This guy was so rude and on his phone the entire time. He couldn't look up at me at all when I asked him a question. I have him some attitude back and then he finally looked up and refused to make a key for me. Obviously at this point I left. But the fact that someone so rude and disinterested in being at this place shouldn't be working here anymore. Unacceptable and disgusting. Do not come here ever! read more

Ralph's Key Shop - This is the guy who was so incredibly rude...still on his phone - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is my go to spot for keys and key accessories. Avi, is so helpful and kind. I cannot say enough good things about his place and their service when going there. Next time you need a key, be sure to check this place out. read more

Just made 2 duplicate for my business. The guy was nice and really quick. But the problem was those keys didn't work. I paid with cash and didn't get a receipt since that was inexpensive. Hate to leave a bad review but did it for the future customers. read more

Printed me a new key in 4 minutes. Cheaper than my triple AAA membership or the dealership. Could not rate high enough. Best prices around, and I called around for every key place within 20 miles. They also showed up super quickly and my favorite part was that I was able to text with them the entire time, which they were extremely responsive to. I hope to God that I never have my jacket stolen from the gym with my car keys inside of it ever again, but if I ever do, I will definitely call Ralph's first thing. Shit, that should be their catchphrase. 100/100 read more

Ralph's Key Shop - Key printed in 4 minutes. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Need keys made? Go here! Avi took time to make me a handful of keys and was able to put a hand stamped letter on the ones I needed identified. So helpful, patient, and kind. Definitely recommend! Also, when I asked if I had issues with the keys if I could come back, he said absolutely. Thank you, Avi! read more

Great service, extremely understanding and kind. My keys worked perfectly the first time and better than the old ones. Highly recommend Ralph's Key Shop read more

Avi was extremely helpful in getting two new key fobs cut for my car. It's an older car and it's difficult to find someone outside of the extremely expensive dealer to work on this. I had already tried two different places that said they couldn't do it. Avi not only took care of it, the price was reasonable and he's a great guy. It's great to find a real craftsman these days. I'm very grateful for the outstanding work. read more

These guys are the absolute best. There's never an issue with any of the keys. I have had them make car keys (they can do the whole electronic thing and make you a new key), house keys and work keys. Past I would have issues with keys made. Someone work, someone real pain. Ralph's key shop does an A+ job, that's for sure! read more

Had a great experience getting a key copied here! Avi was very kind and fast. Would recommend this place 100%

They were very responsive and answer the phone quickly but I was very disappointed that I walked over there just to be rejected because they do not take card. It's really fix their listing on the Internet because it disappointing when customers take time out of their day to have a service completed and I rejected. read more
