Lost my grandmother's car key. Also she didn't have a spare. I was able to get a hold of Ronsmith Locksmith and he was able to help out. One of his techs came out and was able to provide a new key. Only giving 3 stars due to some confusion, the tech was able to cut us a new key however wasn't a key fob which I thought we were getting, like how he describe. All aside the tech was able to get us in the car and program the key. I still have to go and get another key fob to control the alarm. read more

Ron responded right away! Losing your keys is never a good feeling, but Ron was kind and compassionate. Ron is your guy if you're looking for an honest and skilled locksmith!! read more

Five star rating for the response time and being professional. The price was very steep in my opinion at 165, but we did receive a bit of a discount. All in all solid company. Thank you for your assistance. read more

I had a master key rotary padlock rust out and was unable to open it with a key... because the key snapped when I tried opening the lock... oops. I was going to buy the equipment to cut it my self but realized it might be cheaper and easier to have a locksmith come out and cut it. Sent out quote request and Ron responded with a quote within 10 min. I gave Ron a call explained the situation, confirmed the quote and gave him my location info. Ron was at my location within the hour and completed the job in less than 10 minutes. Very quick and professional service.... Thanks Ron! read more

Ron is excellent! I called him and requested my office front door be re-keyed. He showed up within an hour, got the job done in maybe 30 minutes, and was extremely professional about it! Couldn't recommend a better person to fix this! Call him now! read more

Ron was extremely quick and efficient, we are beyond happy with the service he provided! We had some jammed doors and he was able to fix multiple issues in under an hour, arrived within 15 minutes. Highly recommended! Great pricing too! read more

entrance to my garage due to lost keys. Found keys next day and left phone message cancelling my request but the locksmith didn't get or ignored my message. Can't comment on VALUE cause no work was done. read more

Ron is the best! I honestly called a ton of places, and a lot of them were DOUBLE the price! They also couldn't come to my place of business in a timely manner. Ron answered the phone right away, gave me a quote instantly, and a precise time of arrival and meant it. Other places wanted to come out first, to SEE the lock on my door before they quoted me. I was just wildly impressed and loved that Ron came to the rescue so quickly. I needed to change the lock on my place of business fast, and he did it in no time. It gave me major peace of mind and didn't disturb my business at all. Thank you so much. I absolutely recommend this business to others. Call RON the locksmith before you call other companies, he won't disappoint. I'll be using him in the future. Every time a tenant leaves, I have to change the locks, so I'll be using him for all my future needs. read more

Can't say enough positive things about this business! He responded promptly and was able to be here within an hour. He was quicks and so personable I would recommend this company very highly read more

How do you sum up a perfect day? Well, you start with calling a locksmith that was able to come to you business the next day, due to a change of staff and needing to change 6 locks ASAP! Ron was super friendly, efficient, and because we are a non-profit, Ronsmith Locksmith was also affordable for us! He knocked out and replaced our locks in an hour and some change!!! Ron will be the only person we use for our business moving forward, in addition to referring him to our many clients we were in North County/San Diego! A sincere Thank you Ron and Coco or Koko!!! read more

A guy like Ron is what every locksmith should aim to be. I lost my car keys and he answered as soon as I called and quoted me instantly. He gave me a time and was very punctual... a few minutes early actually. He was very nice and professional, made the key and got me back in my car way faster than I imagined. The guy is good! I keep his card in my wallet and will always call him or refer him whenever I get the chance. Thanks again Ron!! read more

I needed my house rekeyed and Ron was able to meet me the very next day after I called him and set us up. He installed a deadbolt in our garage entry door, replaced the hardware in the door from the outside leading to our garage, keyed it all up for us, and even helped me with an issue I was having with our sliding glass door not locking properly. He was a nice guy on top of it. We will be using Ron again in the future for our Locksmith needs. read more

I've had to use Ron twice in less than one year & always walk away with a smile on my face and fresh keys to my new locks! He is efficient and provided the best consistent customer and lock smith service. The first job, he was here within in ten minutes and switched out the locks to my front door. He was done in less than 20 minutes. The second job was for my mailbox and he was here within ten minutes and was able to help me retrieve my mail, and provided me with working keys to my new mailbox! I've never been so happy to see grocery ads and amazon packages in my life! He also completed this job in less than 20 minutes! He is always kind and professional. He goes above and beyond repeatedly and even assisted me in speaking to post master. Much appreciation Ron! If you need a lock smith, he's your guy! read more

Called and the tech was here in under 15 minutes and had my car open in under 5 minutes. Speedy, professional, helpful, great service! Lucky to have such a service available in Oceanside. read more

Ron rekeyed my locks about a month ago and did a great job. I then needed some more keys for the same doors and went to Home Depot and Lowe's who could not cut a key to work! I then called Ron and he came out, cut a few more keys and didn't charge me! Good guy and wonderful service! read more

Ron is punctual and reliable. We are super happy with his service and highly recommend!

Needed to get a lock rekeyed so I used the Yelp app to send quotes to at least 8 local locksmiths. I included all the details and two photos of the lock that needed the work. Ron Smith got back to me in less than 10 mintues. I was floored. I'd also say about 70% of the other locksmiths got back to me within just an hour or two. It's very competitive when using the Yelp app. It's so convenient. Before Yelp I'd have to call each one, explain the situation and get a quote. Ha, we're in the 21st century Yo! Yelp app saved me so much time, and Ron Smith was quick on the response as well as knowledgeable about what needed to be done. He was also the best value and was available the same day. He showed up exactly at the agreed upon time, went right to task, and even gave me a bunch of extra keys at no charge. Thanks, Ron, you made the entire process quick, painless, economical and saved me a bunch of time and hassle. I highly recommened him and will certainly use him for future work. read more

Ron was awesome! Extremely accommodating & professional and even gave us safety tips! I will definitely be using him anytime I am in need of these type of services again. read more

I chose this locksmith BECAUSE of his high yelp reviews. I called and scheduled an appointment which he forgot about. HE FORGOT AND WAS LATE THEN BLAMED ME FOR HAVING TO LEAVE BEFORE HE WAS DONE. He didn't quote me prices over the phone, then said upon arrival it would be nearly $200 for 6 locks and 4 keys... ok... He asked if I needed a new part but failed to quote me the price. I figured it wouldn't be much more. I wish I hadn't trusted him. He charged me an additional $65 without clearing it with me first. $259 to get my residential locks changed AND he forgot my appointment AND didn't communicate clearly. I regret trusting yelp and I regret trusting his 5 star reviews. read more

What a great locksmith! Quick to respond, affordable, professional & a pleasure to work with. Used him again as I was locked out of my mailbox and he was there to help me again! Definitely will use again. read more

No nonsense, prompt service, fair pricing (although have no comparison) but would call/use again if the needed...

Ron came out and fixed my door lock right away. He was polite, professional and an all around nice guy. I would definitely recommend him and would use his services again! read more

What I loved most about using "Ron", is that he was on time, educated me while doing the job hired to do, and charged me a fair price for the job done. Great customer service! I will use him again in the future, no question! Fast, efficient and great attitude, yes please. :) read more

Professional and efficient! I appreciated the patience and flexibility as well, as I had to reschedule due to escrow changes. Replaced my entry door system, including new lever and programmed a keyless entry component, and then made all the keys match. Thank you! read more

Loved that Ron showed up in a mask as the concerns of COVID-19 are through the roof at this time. This shows he respects others. He was very accomodating and fit me into his schedule the morning after I called him. He is professional, caring and friendly. Thank you Ronsmith. read more

Prompt reply, good communication, professional installation, and reasonable pricing. Thank you for being such a good locksmith!

I called Ron to re-key 4 locks at my house. He was very reasonable with this pricing and very responsive. I had to push them back a couple of hours from my appointment and he was very accommodating and still showed up after I was able to get to the house. I highly recommend him and he knows what he's doing. read more

WOW WOW WOW! Found Ron through Angies List. Now I know why he gets a perfect 5 rating! Called me back in less than 10 minutes, was able to give me a quote and finish the job the same day. This after I had called 3 other locksmiths. I recommend Ron UNRESERVEDLY and he is my new go-to for lock issues/needs! read more

Ron arrived on time and did a great job replacing the lock on my mailbox. It was a bigger job than I anticipated. But he had a drill and all the right tools and finished in about 30 minutes. Now it looks and works good as new. I'm going to ask him back to rekey my outside doors. A+ read more

Punctual and quick to respond, easy 5 stars. And did good work. The job took a total of 5-10 minutes though and he charged $165. Seems nuts to me. Surprised/disappointed by all of the 5 star reviews. read more

Ron was super easy to work with. Picked up my first call and then updated me on his ETA via text. He fixed my front door lock and rekeyed it as well and did it so quickly. Would recommend and use in the future. read more

On so many level this guy I would full recommend and look forward to making that call again myself and know I will taken care of. Thank you again! read more

PLEASE READ!! DO NOT USE HIS SERVICE! I used Rons services a couple weeks back on Jan 21st. I thought his services would be of high value, I don't know how he has a good rating. I have an older truck and the key i originally had was wearing down and eventually broke in the car door. So I called Ron! He came out and I originally wanted the key to be extracted and a new key to be cut and programmed. There was a 15% discount on his website for first timers. And he never applied that. And he never got my key out he just switched my door handles. I noticed right away that the key he made me was very sticky! I was told it could have been cut wrong or could just take some time to get used to. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and proceeded to use the sticky key he made me. Welllll it broke in the door again, what a surprise. I called for a replacement, his website says 90 DAY WARRANTY with no fine print exclusions! So I assumed I could have a replacement. He denied my replacement saying because the key broke it wouldn't be covered on the warranty. What is his warranty good for then? When I asked him this he ignored my question. Saying he'll only help if he gets his money. Today is February 15th, so it hasn't even been 30 days, and nowhere close to 90. Just BE CAREFUL! I was able to extract my own now two broken keys out of my door handles of my truck within 8 minutes with my girlfriend's nail art tweezers and her jewelry pliers. Which was taking him about 40 minutes and he never succeeded. Careless, shady, unreliable. read more
