I hardly write reviews but WOW! This guys means business. Somehow, hitting the concrete was enough to break my '92 Pontiac ignition key in half. I've been calling people all day and nobody was able to come out until Monday. Mario's daughter recommended him through a facebook post and I gave him a call. Less than AN HOUR LATER he was done! My old key was super thinned out, bent and broken in half and Mario was able to make a new key in no time at all!!! Thank you SO much, and thank you for coming to quickly!!!! I highly recommend Selden Lock and Key!!! read more

Selden Lock & Key - broken key, before Mario helped! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

I normally don't leave reviews because I always forget but truly the fastest and smoothest experience i've had with calling someone and asking for help. i'm actually sitting in my car typing this like 15 minutes after he left. I lost the keys to my car and haven't been able to find them for a few days, i've had to skip work and class and pay lots of money for ubers. He was super kind, and amazing prices, and was able to come and get me a new pair of keys within a few hours. i've had to call other locksmiths before in the past and have been hit with crazy high prices... I was very fortunate today and will definitely be recommending this guy to others.. (hopefully i won't have to need the service again but i was pleasantly surprised with TWO replacement keys so i doubt that'll happen ) read more

Selden Lock & Key - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

I needed a car key fob programmed and cut years ago and he came to my house and completed the work. I kept his number in my phone all this time, and when I needed a locksmith again I texted him. He has wonderful response time, is very reliable, really reasonable rates, and he went above and beyond by providing some things I should have had available myself. If you need a locksmith, you definitely want to call Selden! read more

We operate a Food Pantry through our church and needed the services of a locksmith to repair an ignition switch in our van after some low life person broke into our van through a window and tried to steal the van. Mario of "Selden Lock and Key" was recommended and he was very knowledgeable, efficient and had a very good pricing. I called him early Monday morning and because the person who recommended him had called him Saturday he was ready for the call and arrived promptly to to the repair. In less than a half an hour he had the ignition switch removed and replaced it with a new switch...keyed to our existing keys. I would highly recommend Mario of "Selden Lock and Key"..he's a local boy and went to Armijo High School....much thanks Mario from John Hom of Rockville Presbyterian Fellowship ... read more

Mario is amazing! We called him when our only key to our Volvo snapped on half. The closest dealership is in Walnut Creek and they wanted to charge us $160 for a key, then another $180 to program the chip. Also we needed to have it towed there and Jim at Tri City Towing gave us Mario's number because he couldn't tow it without a key. Mario came out and put an over night delivery in for a new key. The next day, when it came, he painstakingly opened the new transponder key as well as the old key, and transferred the chip from one to the other . It was like surgery, delicately removing the crystal-like chip without breaking it. I highly recommend Mario at Selden Lock and Key. He saved us a bunch of money...24/7 Mobile Locksmith.

Selden Lock & Key - Mario at Selden Lock & Key is awesome. (707)639-7523 - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Mario is like SWAT! This is who other locksmiths call for help, literally. Went to another locksmith, after an hour of cutting my key and walking back and forth to my truck, I was asked to come back another day! Mario programmed a replacement and had me in and out in about 20 minutes. Price was comparable to my dealer, he was worth it. If you need a locksmith who KNOWS what he's doing, call this guy. He's also mobile ! Thank you ! read more

Mario came thru like the professional he is! If you are in need of an honest, down to earth and reasonably priced Locksmith, Mario the owner is highly recommended! I am completely satisfied and will definitely go back to him if I ever need a locksmith. After calling around the local dealerships for replacement of a remote key fob it, getting it programmed and whatever fees were added...I then called around and Mario had better pricing and he was willing to do house calls since he was mobile. Good job Mario! read more

Great guy hes fast fair and honest ill add one smart guy will be using sheldon lock and key on any keys needs as long as live thanks todd

Mario is totally unresponsive. Called him twice in a two week period to get a replacement keyless remote for my car - popular model of car so availability is not an issue. He took the info over the phone (twice) and never responded with any type of follow up. Totally unprofessional - if you don't want to do the job just say so. Hard to believe he's the same guy that is lauded in the reviews here. Good luck getting a response if you call him... read more

I needed a Honda key cut and programmed for my 2012 CR-Z. The dealer wanted to charge me around $300 for the key, cutting, and programming. I bought the key off of Amazon and then I Yelped for a local key cutter and found Mario. I called Mario at 7:45 am on a Saturday. He met me at 8:00. By 8:15 my key was cut ($80) and programmed ($40). He also showed his wide variety of different automobile keys, most of which were factory OEM. He also showed me replacement housing if your original key was broken. Thank you Mario for saving me over $100 and time waiting at the dealership. I will definitely be calling Mario again for all my car key needs in the future. read more

Selden Lock & Key - Bought key on Amazon for $55 ($200 from dealer) and had Mario cut & program. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Professional, reasonably priced, and friendly. I had locked myself out of my car and Selden was hands down the cheapest quote ($75, $125 with cut/duplicated key) to get me into my car. However, they had a caller before me they were assisting - I was given an honest ETA which could not meet my time crunch (I had a Dr. Appointment to get to). I unfortunately had to go with someone else, but they provided the name and # to other locksmith services in the area. I went with Ace Lock and Key, who price matched Selden's quote. read more

Prompt and friendly mobile service. Professional services done right and for a reasonable price. I was at work and the technician was nearby and was able to fit me in. I was in and out within 5 minutes. I would recommend their services 110% read more

Called Mario at 8:15 on Monday morning to program a new key for my minivan. I needed it done ASAP since we are a family of 6 with baseball practices and gymnastics and school pick up and drop offs. Mario was at my house by 9:45 and was done within 10 minutes. Mario saved me hundreds of dollars compared to what a Dodge dealership would have charged me. If you need help in a pinch, Mario is very affordable and quick to answer! read more

I've used Mario a few times. For my house, for my vehicles, once for work. No idea how I've never given him a review before. He's easy to work with, his prices are fair and he's responsive. Today I needed a key "repaired" for my wife's Toyota. The plastic head with the remote functions broke away from the key. Mario had me text him a picture and confirmed he could do it. He fit me in traveling between customers and I was in and done in 15 minutes. It turned out to be a little more complicated than he anticipated (he initially didn't expect to cut the key), but the price remained fair. I love working with him because he's candid. Straight answers. And super easy to work with - either last minute "help I'm stuck" or scheduling out. read more

I can't say enough about Mario and his excellent customer service. I lost my keys and didn't have a spare. He was available quickly and very flexible with his schedule! He not only made a new electronic key for me with a blank key I provided, but made an extra at a great discount! What a lifesaver! I would highly recommend Mario to anyone needing key or locksmith services. It's rare to find someone who is so customer service oriented these days. As a small business owner, I know how important it is to support other self employed people. Support your local small business! It matters! Thank you, Mario! You are the best! Jen read more

I had someone attempt to break into my car and in the process they destroyed my car door lock. Selden Lock and Key was able to replace the car door lock with no issues. They're easy to get in contact with by phone or text and did quality work for a good price. I recommend them to people in the Fairfield area for sure. read more

Mario was available to come out right when I called him. He programed a new Fob key for my Prius and made a new manual key for it in less than 30 min. The dealership quoted me 2 hour labor plus the cost of the key which was nearly what I paid for everything. Can't say enough great things about Mario's service. read more

Personal, on time, good communication, accountable, and estimate (price) was better than the others in the area. Thanks Mario (and Jr) read more

Mario was amazing! I called him on a Saturday and needed my 2015 Toyota Corolla key shell completely replaced(it was run over). He was luckily in town and came by quickly. He was super informative about the process and overall really nice! Hopefully I won't need another key replaced (fingers crossed) but if I do, he'd definitely be the first call. read more

Total life saver! They were able to come within 15 minutes of me calling and gave my sister a brand new fob for her car. Toyota vacaville quoted us $600 for a new fob and with Selden Lock & Key, we paid more than half that price! So glad we called him. Totally recommend this place read more

Does this guy not like new customers? I'm trying to call him and he keeps rejecting my calls and going straight to voicemail. I work at Ford dealership parts department recommended him to me I thought he'd be reliable but I guess not read more

My wife lost her keys and with the rash of recent burglaries in Suisun was worried about someone finding her keys and using them for something no good. Mario came out the same day she called re-keyed all our doors and made us new keys. Besides being the nicest guy in the world, Mario is a real professional. Best value around. Good to know we have such a great local resource. Thanks Mario! Jerry and Avis Linnins read more

Mario it's great. My son lost his keys, Mario showed up immediately. He was quick and did an excellent job. Will definitely use him again. Extremely satisfied customer. read more

Excellent customer service! Mario was very friendly and explained everything in full detail in what he was doing from what was damaged to what needed to be replaced. My poor front doorknob clearly needed replacement and since I wanted to get the job completed Mario went out of his way to purchase the necessary replacement because clearly this girl isn't a locksmith and wouldn't have any clue on what to get. With that replacement having to be purchased I definitely paid a lot more than I originally expected but in the end he got the job done and did a few other things that he really didn't need to do but did it anyway. Mario pays attention to the details and I would recommend him. read more

Nice guy. Very helpful. Came out to program my new Jeep key and it would not work. Purchased on eBay but was not correct for my vehicle. Ordered new one and came back next day. Dealer wanted $280 and it was $180.00. Great service and will use again. read more

I lost my car keys at Walmart. The store manager couldn't find them. I found Selden Lock & Key on Yelp. I talked to Mario, he drove to the parking lot and made me a new copy of my car keys. He was real cool and professional. Thanks again Mario, really appreciate it. read more

I needed to have one of my house locks repaired since my keys were periodically getting stuck. I found this company on yelp and Mario came within a few hours of contacting him. The job was done in a matter of minutes. Since he was already here, he offered to take a look at my van since I've been having problems with turning the key in the ignition. He took his time, analyzing both the key and the cylinder in the ignition itself trying to figure out what could be wrong. He also noticed I was installing new headlight bulbs on my vehicle which I haven't done before. He called some friends at Honda and asked for the best way to remove and install the bulbs. He also looked up videos on youtube. We ended up installing the bulbs in no time. Mario stayed throughout the whole process and didn't leave until I was done. He didn't have to, but he did. 5 stars for this service. read more

After waiting 2 hours for another locksmith and having no patience it was a huge relief to find we only waited 15 min for Selden L&K to show up! Was very professional and after giving the appropriate paper work we had a key for my car in no time and could get back on our 6hr drive home. He was not over priced at all. For sure will use again if we need it when we are in town. read more

Mario was awesome! Very reasonable and came to my house within the hour. Very satisfied! He has gained a forever customer!

The best locksmith around in town. I lost the keys to my truck. Called the dealership and they referred me to Mario at Selden Lock & Key. Mario answered my phone call right away every time I called Mario was able to come to my house in 30 mins and make a new key for my truck. He was very kind and pleasure to talk to. I will be referring him to anyone that needs a locksmith for anything. Thanks again. read more

I had an absolute amazing customer service! I've locked my keys in the ignition of my car and my phone in my car, I already called a few places but was receiving no help, once I called him he arrived in 20 minutes and saved the day!! and also made a spare I have been told before that my car is too old to have a spare made, but it was made so that was the best part! AND AFFORDABLE! read more

I needed my locks rekeyed after a recent break-in and Mario provided fast and efficient service, at a more than reasonable price. I choose Seldon Lock & Key, as I had used Mario two and a half years after I moved into my home to have my locks rekeyed as well, and knew I would be getting great service again - and I was not wrong. I'm a loyal customer for life now. Thanks Mario! read more

I have a 1994 Accord. The key was worn down so it no longer turned smoothly. And occasionally it would get stuck in the ignition. Mario cut a new key by taking my trunk lock mechanism out and using that as a template. He was on time, did the work quickly, and the the price was fair. I recommend him without hesitation. When I buy a house I'm calling him for his locksmith services. Excellent! read more

What can I say about Selden Lock & Key. They are the BEST. Needing a professional in this category usually means most of the time it is a time sensitive situation or a very important one. Mario was extremely polite, professional and FAST! He was able to fit me in his busy schedule and take care of me and get me on my way. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY - Mario is the man!!! read more

Mario was AWESOME! He was so quick, reasonable, convenient and my key is better than before. I had my purse stolen along with my keys and he was able to make my day better with one less thing to worry about. read more

Left two messages over two days, never received a reply. You can't get a good review if you leave your potential customers high and dry. I was looking for a "forever locksmith" and it won't be Selden.... read more
