But i knew it was working till we took it apart, so i was going down the road of how you replace the lock and everything. All new hardware. Even contacted who we purchased our doors from. 4-6 weeks to get them. Then i thought maybe a locksmith could fix it- instead of this trying to order a new lock etc. i called what seemed to be a local locksmith but they were not? I think there is some kind of auto generated thing out there -that just says your city- but they are not local. I had booked them. And then after losing a day of waiting for them-to not come or call! Forget about it! I had noticed everyone on Yelp mentioning the real Sausalito locksmith! So that was my next move after that bad experience. Thomas came over and inspected the situation and had a resolution to something within the lock that was weak he didn't like- but it's true, a small flimsy metal part. He went to see if he had something like it but stronger in his truck. Yes- problem solved! But then where the door wasn't lining up exactly- he trouble shot that as well. I like a person who can problem solve on the spot. So grateful for this nice friendly guy who knows his stuff- and got the job done step by step. (The issues were not obvious) Can't recommend him enough- if you are in Southern Marin- you should ask for Thomas. Time is money and he put my mind at ease once he came to fix my door I have had good and bad locksmiths- none are ever in the middle. These guys are the good guys for your money and time. Just call them, they are your actual local locksmiths.

It's fake. A call center answers, take your info and tell you a locksmith will call you.read more

For me, I appreciate great workmanship, communications and professionalism. If I am hiring you, dress professional, address people professionally and if you are working in my house, please don't smell like cigarettes or sweat. Good communication is another key. For example, as we were progressing in the job, Eli identified several issues that were not part of the job, but was able to address while he was working. When he left, all of the work locations were clean and everything functioned correctly. If you are in the Novato/Marin/San Rafael area, I would highly recommend Eli and Anytime Locksmith.

We called them out and they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with from the start. The technician arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issue, and clearly explained what was wrong with the lock and what our options were. He was able to repair the French door lock on the spot without trying to upsell us on unnecessary replacements, which I really appreciated. The fix was clean, solid, and now the doors close and lock smoothly again. Pricing was fair, the service was efficient, and the whole experience was stress-free. It's rare to find service providers who are both skilled and honest, and Friendly Locksmith and Security delivered on both. Highly recommend them if you need help with door locks, home security issues, or any locksmith work.

What should have been a simple install turned into a much more complicated situation due to issues with my car. Tal put in many hours over several days, returning multiple times without charging me anything beyond the original quote. When it became clear that the problem required a mechanic, he referred me to someone trustworthy with fair prices and followed up afterward to make sure everything was resolved. He even sent one of his team members to handle the final touches--again, without charging extra. Tal went above and beyond at every step. He was clear, communicative, and highly reasonable with his prices. I am incredibly grateful for his professionalism and trustworthiness (especially after some less positive experiences with other autosmiths). I felt in good hands throughout the entire process, and I'd recommend him to anyone.
