I lost my house key late last night. I messaged the two locksmiths I found on Yelp. Both responded but Security was first. The woman who answered was personable and empathic and normalized the situation... "it happens all the time." I had stayed the night with a friend nearby. Travis was at my front door before me. Less than five minutes later I was in! The whole interaction was almost silent, and my gratitude was immense. A very well spent $100. I recommend them highly. read more

Security Lock & Alarm is the only Abloy reseller in the area, but unfortunately their customer service has been consistently disappointing. On multiple occasions I've called or stopped by, only to be told that no one was available to help me. Each time I left my name and number, I was promised a call back -- but I have never once received one. This forces me to return in person, where the outcome is usually either: 1. "We're out of stock," or 2. "Someone will call you back." As a small business owner, I only purchase 1-4 locks per year, which is nothing compared to the large timber company that seems to get first priority. Still, every customer deserves fair treatment and basic communication. A promised call back should actually happen, regardless of order size. On my most recent visit (two trips in one day), I finally spoke with someone knowledgeable about inventory and keying. Even then, I was told "someone will call you back." That was over three days ago, and I'm still waiting. At the time, there was open discussion among staff about whether additional stock was available, but I left without answers. Because Abloy keys cannot be duplicated by other locksmiths, I'm now forced to shop online, where replacement keys can take weeks. This lack of support locally has cost me significant time and frustration. This is not an isolated incident -- I've had at least three other nearly identical experiences with Security Lock & Alarm: no follow-up, repeated visits, and wasted time. It really highlights how small businesses and individual customers are deprioritized compared to big contracts. In short: if you're not a large-volume customer, don't expect much help here. read more

This is the only place we trust with our key systems! Great customer service and personable atmosphere. I always make an appointment to ensure they have staff available, as SLA works with multiple establishments in the area. Thanks, SLA, for professional and awesome service with a smile! read more

Had the folks from this business come out and rekey locks, very positive experience and would definitely hire them again

Amazing service at a reasonable price. I lost the key to my truck, Travis came out within the hour, got into my truck and made me a key on the spot. All the while, he was friendly and efficient. They made me an extra key, just in case. Excellent job, Thank you Travis, thank you SLA. Craig read more

They suck so bad I've been waiting over a month for them to make a spare car key. They just put me off over and over. Extremely unprofessional read more

These guys were awesome! I took my key in that had worn out and they were able to reprogram and cut a key from the code. They were reasonably priced versus how much the Chevy dealer wanted! These guys are kind and personable and good with their customers! He even took me outside and we lubricated all the door locks! read more

What I like about small town charm are the people that you interact with. I was in need of a couple of specifically keyed locks with keys that take special permission to duplicate. I called the folks at Security lock and Alarm looking for a solution to my gate security needs. The gentleman on the phone recommended an Abloy lock, this lock is super strong and the keys are different than any other key. The really nice thing about these locks is that you must be on "the list" to make a duplicate key. The locks are 125 bucks each and the keys are 12.50 each but knowing that every Tom, Dick and Harry does not have a duplicate key to your gate will help me sleep at night. I ordered up 2 locks and 10 keys and the nice gentleman told me that the locks and keys would be ready that day, now that's service! Sure enough I received a call saying that my locks and keys were ready. It's a 1 1/2 hour drive for us to get to Eureka and we were grateful that this business puts customers first. This business is top notch, highly recommend read more

See all

The lock on our front door was stuck, and when I called Security Lock & Alarm, they were able to send Travis over that same day to fix it. I was given a time estimate, and he arrived just a bit before that time. Travis was very kind and professional, solved our problem and did everything he could to save us money. He told me what had probably happened to our lock and explained things patiently to me. And the entire service was less than $90 - I highly recommend this company! read more

They did such a bad job of installing my lock that it is falling out of the door a year and a half later. When I told them that their work had failed, they said they would take no responsibility for it and would charge me full price to come back and fix it. They have no shame and treat customers with complete disrespect. read more

They came to help me the same day I called! They were polite and did the repair I needed in no time

I can't speak highly enough of this business. They've been taking care of our lock and doorknobs and such for decades. They're fast, they made a point to tell me the most affordable way to get a big job done (rekeying every door in my large house and garage), and in one instance, fixed one of our vintage doorknobs with a $2 gooble-bar instead of selling me the new doorknob I came in to buy. Honestly v cool people. read more

Electric door key battery pooped out without warning; couldn't find key. Called Security at 4 pm, they dispatched a locksmith. He arrived within the hour; was pleasant and professional; opened lock in a few minutes. Asked if I wanted new key (sure!), so now I have a key. It was expensive (duh!), about $100, including new key. But I reckon it's like calliing a plumber or similar to solve a home problem which simply must be solved, and they really hit the mark on doing it right. Would definitely use them again! read more

I had a key break off in a deadbolt lock . I tried all of the YOU TUBE hacks but none worked. These folks sent a locksmith out the same day. The individual was on time, kind, courteous and had the broken key out in less than 5 minutes. Love them. read more

This is the first time I've done business with Security Lock and Alarm, and it will not be the last! I strongly recommed this company. After trying to deal with another Eureka locksmith for over 3 weeks, I called Securiy. Katy was polite and professional on the phone, and got me set up for a service call the very next day! I have an older combination safe, and the dial was stuck. Brice from Security showed up promptly and took care of the problem right away. He explained the issues and gave me options. The price was fair, and as quoted. Security Lock and Alarm is a great example of professional work and good, old-fashioned customer service. read more

My Son purchased a home that had an older Security System installed. We wanted to make it functional. I called "another" (starts with an A) local company, but they were not very helpful and required a Monthly Monitoring Contract just to make a service call. So glad I called SL&A ! Krystal ? was very kind and arranged for a service visit. Technician David arrived exactly on-time and was Very! Knowledgeable about security systems. We didn't have the user code but he was able to start-up the system, let us enter a new code, tested all the zones and was so very helpful explaining the operation of the system. The cost was exactly what was quoted, no hidden fees! I can't imagine using another company in the future. Thank you to Eureka Security Lock & Alarm for the Great Customer Service!. BTW Yelps"Post Review" sends me in circles asking me to Login to Google 3-times! read more

Matthew arrived right on time to rekey my locks. He immediately let me know that I'd need new doorknobs and deadbolts to accomplish this due to incompatibility between the front door lock and all the others. He let me know how much it would cost from Security Lock & Alarm and that he did not know how that would compare if I shopped elsewhere. I chose convenience, and Matthew returned in under 20 minutes with all materials (knobs and deadbolts that matched the front door hardware quite well). From first arrival to completing the rekeying of 6 locks was right at 2 hours. Matthew was professional, efficient, and friendly. read more

I used this company two different times and was satisfied with both experiences. 1st experience they came to me and made a key for my car on the spot. The second time i had brought my truck to them and they made me a key fairly quick. My only experiences i have with this company they made me keys for my car and my truck . Very quickly read more

We recently moved our alarm service to Security Lock and Alarm. We started getting nervous about our business being protected when our old alarm started having problems and our alarm company did little to help. We called Security Lock and Alarm and they had us completely protected the following Monday. We have had service with them for about two weeks and last night someone attempted to break the window. The glass break sensor detected it, and set off the alarm. We reviewed the video footage and could hear the rock, then immediately the alarm going off and the phone ringing. I believe this deterred the idiot who was trying to vandalize or break into our place from trying to hit the window again and break it. Within minutes, the police arrived. When we got the call from the dispatcher, she had already dispatched police. We are so thankful we moved companies when we did! Our old alarm had started acting up after the outage which resulted in a costly service call from Advanced. Just a few weeks later we started having problems again. They offered us a free system, but would just charge the labor for install... at $95/hour! No thanks. For what we were going to pay, versus the cost of installing a new system with Security Lock and Alarm... worth it. And we didn't have glass break detectors before, so even if our old alarm was operating, the rock wouldn't have been detected unless it went through the window and caused motion inside (which HAS happened before, costing us $700 for a new window). read more

This is my second time using them to rekey. They answer their phones and is on time to the scheduled appointment. Great to work with.

WARNING TO ALL CONSUMERS. Don't shop for anything here. This place is a ripoff! I bought a safe here about 2 years ago. My safe's battery died and I bough new ones. It still didn't work, so called the office. I told them i changed the battery, and they sent someone right away. The explained the safe only takes Duracell batteries. Then sent me a bill for $80. $80 to come change a battery?? I went down to the store to attempt to work something out. I was told simply no. I said the fact that the safe only operated on one Duracell batteries should have been disclosed at he point the sale, as a form of curtesy. I"m sure this is part of their racket scheme. SHAME ON SECURITY LOCK & ALARM. I will never do business with them ever again read more

We fly over here often for business and leave a car at the airport. One time a year or two, Scott from Security reprogrammed our key fob and it worked great and got our car going when Toyota wasn't readily available to help. Today, the key stopped working and the car locked down. We called AAA, called Toyota dealer, and called Security. Matt from Security came to try to help. It was a complicated deal. Next came Sean, then Scott to try to solve the mystery. Three guys doing their best for me on 5th and E at Starbucks. Using google, calling Toyota, and using all resources, they determined it was a central car computer failure. The car needed a dealer visit. We ultimately had AAA tow the car to Toyota. It took almost two hours. These three gentlemen from Security refused to give me a bill. Refused. Now, I don't know these folks and they don't know me. I was desperate. They could have taken advantage. I asked for a bill three times. Integrity? Decency? Good humans? Decide for yourself but my answer is yes, clearly. Safe and seemingly excellent to do business with. Heartily recommended. Paying it forward, guys. read more

The only one the was able to do a copy of the keys for my Subaru But yelp is a pain in the neck What else should I write? read more

Received excellent reliable customer service from Security Lock & Alarm. They helped get me into my locked gas cap that I lost the key to. Most grateful! Thank you for your excellent customer service. read more

Went in to have a key made for my car the other day. The man who was there said he had the key in stock but couldn't program it and make it till after two PM, as he was all alone. I said no problem. Went back after two and the gentleman I spoke with said they didnt have the key to make it. I explained that I had spoken to the other guy, and had set aside the key. Well he insisted they didn't have one and then said" you know this is a three hundred dollar key ?" As though i couldn't possibly pay for it. I replied yes i am aware. So i said i would go elsewhere. His attitude and customer service skills SUCKED! read more

1. Lifesavers!!! 2. Excellent customer service 3. Picked the lock to our VW vanagon's gas cap AND made a custom, hand-filed key in under 20 minutes 4. Incredible price 5. Five stars - definitely recommend The Backstory: 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon, 60 miles North of Eureka. My husband and I are on a road trip and stopped for fuel in Klamath because our gas meter had just reached "empty." That's when we discovered we lost the key to the gas cap. With no cell service and no way to fuel up, we had no choice but to keep going. 4pm, we get cell service and I jump on Yelp. Security Lock & Alarm showed to be the closest locksmith... but they were still about 20 miles away. At this point, our gas meter was basically out of sight, beyond "empty!" The Security Lock & Alarm Experience: 4:30pm, the time our map said we'd arrive - the business closed at 5pm. I called to give them a heads up on our arrival and of our "emergency," as we put it. They said they would be able to help us, but they close at 5. To make a long story.. shorter, we ran out of gas as we pulled into their parking lot! Someone came out to pick the lock, but the lock was a little stinker. Another came out to give it a try - success! From there, the two took the key into the shop and searched the giant board of blanks for the right match. Two more employees came out to help... Four people were helping us at this point! 4:51pm, they find the right blank and Matt starts to make the key - by hand!! We have an old 1983 VW Vanagon and the factory definitely made some special stock keys for the thing. Dave also helped in hand-making the key and finished the masterpiece at 5:01pm! It was incredible! I'm still laughing about it all - it was such a fun experience! I'm sad I didn't catch the names of the other two, but to the four that helped us (and the lady in the other room) thank you for staying 'til the end of the work day - and a few minutes after - to help us. We are so appreciative and grateful that we found you! You really made the rest of our road trip possible! read more

I've had several great experiences at this place. They seem to know what they're doing and they do it well. I would definitely recommend this locksmith and alarm company read more

Scott was a life saver tonight when I dropped my 2018 Honda key fob off a pier in Trinidad. Security Lock and Alarm was the only Locksmith that knew how to fix my dilemma. Quick service and extremely friendly. Lastly I would like to mention how quick Scott came out to get me back on the road. I am a 100% satisfied customer! read more

Subject: Okay service with no COVID safety whatsoever. I went to get a spare key fob/starter for my 2018 Kia. I had bought my own spare fob/starter online and just needed to get it programed and the emergency key cut. They estimated this would take 20 minutes which was faster than I thought! I arrived and was happy to see the COVID safety guidelines on the front door. However, none of the three employees I spoke with was wearing a mask. I explained what I needed to someone and he quickly helped me as I waited by the door uncomfortably. He went outside to program my fob/starter and while I was waiting I asked another employee for help with how to hide my fob/starter while surfing. He had no idea and told me to find something online. Meanwhile, another masked customer came in and the unmasked employee copied a key for her. After 10 minutes I went to see how my fob/starter was doing and realized with dismay that he was in my car without a mask on. Being in the large office where we could all stand far away without a mask on was uncomfortable, but going into someone else's car without a mask was honestly offensive. I was very glad I had the foresight to roll down my windows before he went in. I made a mental note to let the car air out for 20 minutes before driving it. However, he came to me saying not only could he not program the spare fob/starter, but my current fob/starter would no longer work. I can't drive my car without the fob/starter, and he obviously understood the urgency of the situation and apologized and said he could drive me somewhere while they worked on it. I obviously declined being in a car with him and instead walked to the grocery store. When I got back an hour later there were multiple unmasked employees in and around my car and it still wouldn't start. Finally they got it to work and the reason this is 3 stars not 1 is because they didn't charge me anything for the spare fob/starter (it works) in the end. I was very uncomfortable the entire time. read more

I was very happy with the service here. Terry was direct and professional and I very much appreciate the work he did, and in such a timely manner. It was also a very affordable price! Thank you! read more

Had a deadbolt that broke. Fast response, next morning. Quickly fixed. I'm impressed!

Worst customer service in Humboldt. I called to get a key fob replacement and was told that the guy who can do that was there. I said that I was in arcata and that I would be there in 10 minutes. 9 minutes later I show up and was told that he had just left for the day. I would give them 0 stars if that was possible. read more

Perfect. Professional, quick, thorough, honest. Coded new car keys for me in no time and at a great price. Thanks!

The instore staff are nice, friendly. Affordable. The men who come to the businesses and homes? No. No manners at all. As in: walk past and say excuse me, smiling, nodding and get this in reply: a frowning face who doesnt acknowledge that you are there. I said thank you again. Nothing. Another man came out, again nothing. Two young men with the manners of drug-addled cretins. Maybe if I were a woman or the man paying them(I am) they'd have acted different. Whatever the case, I'd rather pay more for amicable people. Would not go back. read more

Very friendly staff, and a wide variety of products to choose from. I was able to quickly obtain what I needed, and the price was fair.

Rude, rude, rude. If these guys are trying to run their business into the ground, they are doing things just right. They never showed up for a residential estimate, and when I called late in the day after all of that waiting around, I received no explanation, no apology. I agree with the reviewers who wish that there was a 0 stars option. read more

I locked my keys in the shed (the only keys). They were able to come over in just a couple hours (other local locksmiths were unavailable until next week!), and they had the door open in 2 minutes!!! Their professional, efficient, and speedy service saved the day! Pricey mistake I made... but so grateful for Security Lock & Alarm! read more

Friendly staff, quick service, great price (lower than estimated)! I fully recommend them.

I needed to keys made and they got it done soo quickly. I really appreciated the efficiency and helpfulness. Great prices too:)

Great Staff! Super friendly. I had to get a replacement transponder key made. they cut and programed it quickly. Had my 2yr old with me who enjoyed all the machines and keys. read more
