Very responsive, knowledgeable and the quality of their stock is much better than the average hardware store

Fast and reliable! I needed to get a key copied. Apparently this key required some kind of special machine because two places I went to before here said they didn't have the equipment. My husband and I came here one afternoon and they were able to do it easily within 10 minutes and the key fit perfectly! The price was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place!

Steve and Uriel helped me procure and install keypad locks on 3 doors at our house. They gave me great advice about where/what locks we wanted to get. Within less than a day, Uriel scheduled Steve to come out to install. Steve called me on his way and spent a lot of time experimenting with the doors and hardware I bought. The 4th door was not able to be retrofitted with a keypad because of the spacing of the previously drilled holes. But Steve tried several things before declaring it a no-go. And defining options. The other 3 were installed and work great. Steve spent time describing their function. Turned out I was short one knob/lever. Steve told me what to get and showed me how to install it if I wanted to give it a try. I did and it worked great! Great, helpful service! read more

Went in to buy a new padlock , I brought in my old one and the staff told me the one I had was a really good lock, so I didn't buy a new one. I did get a copy of that key and didn't have cash on me, the staff didn't want to charge my visa for a couple bucks and offered the copy for free. I actually found some cash in my car and went back in to pay in cash. Great staff, friendly, honest and kind, that's what wins me over as a customer. read more

Our lock broke on our front door and we called Redmond's right away. They sent someone out the same day and fixed the problem. They were awesome! read more

They seem pretty good at making keys but the young guy that came over to change the locks on my mom's house in Hermosa was tops. Couple months ago, so I can't remember if his name was Matt or Drake. Wish I could, you should ask for him, very nice, quick and quiet Note: deadbolts that lock from both sides are charged for re-keying two, right? It's only fair but we had several that way and didn't realize. Still it's a very friendly and fair shop, go in read more

As others have already stated this place is a class act. A family run business that reminds us all of how things use to be- friendly, reliable, honest, and happy to help in anyway they can. As an added bonus, the mom of the business who answers the phone will make you feel like you are back in 1983 (in a warm and wonderful way). I called them on a Monday morning and they stopped by our house a few hours later. read more

This YELP app is pretty darn amazing. I needed to have my front door deadbolt lock re-keyed and had no idea who was exceptional, competitively priced and local. So I asked YELP to figure it all out and it sent out bids to 12 different companies. All 12 responded with specific detailed costs, not broad estimates. That level of response is extremely efficient and made it easy to choose from the various quotes. Redmond's Tech, Steve, alerted via text he was on his way during the 2 hour window provided and showed up on time. He completed the job quickly and I tested each key inside and out, an addjustment was made and he was out the door. High recommend for their quick response, local business support, fair pricing and fast job completion. Thank you Redmond's and YELP for a great experience! read more

My first visit to RAL&K was to have extra keys made for multiple doors and was asked if I wanted to have the keys stamped? I had never been asked that before and was told easy to do and helps ID the keys. Great! Wonderful Idea! My second call to RAL&K was to help get our front door open as the strike must of been a lemon and refused to budge. RAL&K sent Steve out to rescue us! After a mild fight with the door he got the bad strike out and replaced it. I'm close to needed to make a third call since El Nino weather has swollen the door and now locking the door is a chore. My 4th call will be to the Door store! read more

3 things to say about this place - friendly, quick, and inexpensive! I needed to have spare keys made, so I came here. The sign says "while you wait" but I did not have to wait for that long.

Redmond's Lock & Key - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

This business has been consistently rude to us for over 15 years since we have lived here in North Redondo. We are driving to Torrance Lock and Key, Phone 310.320.8840, 2421 W.Torrance Blvd--even with the current gas prices. Vinnie and Dillon know how to treat people better, plus they are actually cheaper than Redmonds. read more

I was looking for a barrel key to open a china cabinet but no one had the right one. Another locksmith was going to charge me $30+ to make one. But Redmond's came to the rescue and found one for me for $10. Thank you so much!! read more

Found those guys in yelp after my front door lock broke. They were super fast to answer the phone and got back to me with someone to come and fix it the very next day. The gentlemen was super polite and he knew his stuff! He told me what was wrong and what was needed to fix it and how much. I was relieved that I didn't have to buy an entire brand new set. He simply fixed one little broken piece. The price was a little steep but at that point I didn't care I just wanted to get it fix and fast. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again! read more

Dave at Rainbow is the man. Couldn't ask for better. Beyond knowledgeable. Incredibly friendly. They made an additional key for my wife's car and reprogrammed the alarm system on the spot. Had them over to the house to install two new dead bolts. Could not be more happy with their service. read more

Quick and friendly service! Great prices and a ton of shaped keys and colored keys to choose from! We got 5 keys made in about 5 minutes! They have the SWEETEST doggy there, Sally! You can pet her while you are waiting! read more

Needed 3 different repairs to be done, called Redmond after doing a little research. Easy as 1, 2 & 3; one call for appointment, texted me that Andrew is on his way and arrived on time. Out of 3 issues, 2 were fixed within an hour, 3rd required additional cost so I decided to defer for later time. For sure I will use them again if needed. Oh, Andrew was very courtesy and knowledge on his craft. read more

I looked at the positive reviews and decided to hire this place to install a deadbolt lock and rekey two locks since I live in Redondo. After the work was done, I noticed the strike plate was not installed, along with the two inch screws which came with the lock. I asked the installer why he did not install the strike plate/screws and he just had a surprised look on his face. He told me he would have to bore into the door frame in order to install the strike plate which was fine with me. As a female that lives alone, I just found it unsettling that he would not install the strike plate/screws that came with the deadbolt lock and made the lock more secure. read more

I found myself locked out of my house and called Redmond's as they were close by and had good reviews. Their service was nothing short of fantastic- friendly, speedy and also reasonable! read more

Suffered a broken door lock and Redmond's came up after a quick online search. One phone call and the locksmith (Andrew) was on his way within 15 minutes. The "track my arrival" was easy and accurate. It took some finagling to remove the broken lock but once it was out a replacement was installed and rekeyed in short order. A sticky lock on another door was also repaired on his way out the door. Andrew did a great job and I would definitely use this company again. read more

Great service the technician came out right away he was very helpful and very courteous I would highly recommend this company to my friends. Thank you again Redmans locking key read more

Needed a fresh install of a dead bolt in the garage access door. Wanted to use a keypad type lock. Called Redmond's and got an appointment for the next day. The tech was super nice and did a great job quickly installing, programming the dead bolt. I asked him to also rekey the front door and make some spare keys for additional locks. Zero problems with the entire call. I would most definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone needing quality work done. read more

I've used Redmond's twice now, once when our front door lock broke and once to rekey a new property and both times they came out within the time frame promised, worked quickly, and their price was very fair. read more

Thanks yelpers for guiding me to this wonderful family owned Key shop! I'm an extreme novice when it comes to key copying / making therefore I had to seek the help of our fellow peers for the best guidence! This location on Artesia, it's pretty tough to see because it's blended in right on the street! But if you focus and pay attention to where the post office is at, then Redmond's is literally next door! Barbara was extremely helpful and service was good and fast! I had to make 3 copies of keys and it took her less than 5 minutes! We then had a nice little conversation and I found out that this has been their business for over 30+ years at various locations! It's always awesome to see business withstand the test of time! Price is very fair! 3 keys for $5.25! (pad lock keys) Why the -1 star? Parking can be a pain... there is a back parking lot but on Artesia it's so crammed on the streets and also too many cars tailgates you... so it's not their fault for this situation.... Otherwise, a definitely 5 star for sure on all other aspects! If I'm ever in the need for keys, I will not go anywhere else but here for all my key replication needs! If you need a key, Go see Redmond's!!! P.S. There are 2 large pups in the store (labs), but they are so nice and won't bite so for those who are afraid of dogs don't be... they just mind their own business and chilling on the floor watching the day go by..... read more

Fast, friendly, service!! Family owned for over decades. Dave Redmond always gave great advices and watch out the best for his customers. They are right next to the Redondo Beach Post office. Very convenient for all the people who lives in the area.. :-) read more

I called here when my son locked one of the bedroom doors by accident, because this is a new house we just moved into, I had no idea how these locks work. David walked me thru on how to unlock it without coming out and charge me $85 (it was after hours, otherwise it's $75 during business hours). It took a simple 2 minute call for him to listen to my situation, asked me to text him a picture of the lock, and the second call took 1 minute for him to explain to me how to unlock it. I then did it in 3 tries (would have taken me much less time if the lock hasn't been "played with" so much). The moral of the story is, he totally could have charged me $85 for a 3-minute job. Instead, he chose to help out someone he doesn't even know. I told him that we need more people like you in this world; and for this, he gets 5 stars. read more

This company is great! They are very responsive and don't try to gauge customers. They often suggest solutions that don't require their services and save you money. In addition, they are on time and very professional. I've referred them to a number of friends, and everyone has the same positive experience. read more

Fellow Yelpers have served me well once again. Top notch service. I called and was not sure what I wanted to do with my new home's 4 doors. The employee that picked up the phone offered to come by after lunch to take a look. The hubby and I were going to get high security locks that cost a pretty penny, but Redmond's guy told us it wasn't necessary with our alarm system in place. I appreciate the very honest service, and the fact that he offered to come out for free to help us make the best decision possible for my family. The locksmith that came out the next day was great. A great local business. read more

Such nice people! I was having a problem with my car and Matt came to my rescue. My alarm all of a sudden started going off and the engine won't start, on street sweeping day! I called Redmond's to see if they work with alarm systems, and Matt walked down the street after hearing the alarm to see if there's anything he can help with. After many failed attempts, we couldn't get the alarm to stop going off. Finally, Matt recommended Alex from European Car Stereo next door (another super nice guy) and Alex subsequently fixed all of the alarm problems. Thanks for going out of way to help, Matt! I've been here many times before for keys, locks, etc, and they've always been super! What a great neighborhood business =) read more

Easy peasy! I needed a new battery for my car remote I was in and out in less than 5-7 minutes! Great customer service and very affordable!

Lock slowly stopped working until we couldn't lock the door. They came out next day, were efficient, responsive and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!!! Thank you! read more
