Blaize came to help me adjust a mis-aligned strike plate and install a key-code lock on an old and finicky door. I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised at both how prompt he was and how reasonable the cost of service was. He even stuck around for an extra 20 minutes to carefully examine the lock after he discovered a flaw with the locking mechanism (I had already purchased it on my own - no fault of his). He carefully took it apart, took a close look, and ended up fixing it up so everything worked flawlessly. This was also during peak COVID times, and he wore a mask throughout and was very cautious and polite. It's also always nice to work with a one-man-shop like Blaize. No coordinating with additional staff, no booking windows, no 'a representative will be back with you shortly'. Just a quick phone call, great service, and a reasonable pricetag. If you need a help, stop scrolling and just call him- you wont regret it. read more

I had locked myself out of my house and Blais saved us! He answered my Yelp request within 10 minutes, arrived so quickly, and was the best part of a bad day. read more

Blaize is awesome! I highly recommend him. He responded to my initial inquiry quickly and after we set up the appointment, he arrived at the expected time. The job was to replace my front door hardware with a new set including a keyless entry lock. Additional drilling was needed to support the new hardware and I needed a quick tutorial on how to set up the security code. All in all, I could not be happier with the work. read more

Over the weekend, we were locked out of our house. And after numerous unsuccessful calls, we contacted Smiling Locksmith. Even though, our home was an hour and a half away from him, he arrived at the expected time 1:30 am. Him and his guy make an amazing team, they are both very respectful and committed to their job. We were surprised to find out that many companies who advertise 24 hours service, were not at all open. Thank you Dan, brightened our night and repairing the lock without causing any damage. read more

I called and asked for a quote near the end of the day on a Saturday and Blaize was able to schedule me in the very next day! He arrived right on time and even gave me a heads up call before our appointment. I had 3 locks re-keyed in my new house and Blaize got the whole job done in under 10 minutes. His prices are extremely reasonable, payment as easy, and his service was professional as can be. He even gave me some tips for a new homeowner! Super friendly guy, quick and affordable service, this is definitely the go-to locksmith service! read more

If you need a locksmith and want someone who combines professional ability with a sunny disposition, look no further than the Smiling Locksmith, Blaize. After being locked out of my house today, by availing myself of the phone of a wonderful neighbor I was able to track down the services of Blaize. Blaize showed up quickly -- as promised -- and stayed with the quote he gave over the phone. My old lock was initially stubborn, but Blaize overcame it to provide me access again to my house. Give Blaize a call! read more

My purse was stolen along w phone and keys. Most companies require a call back from a technician and I wasn't able to work with that process given no phone! If you want the person who answers the phone to be the same person who does the work, this is your guy. Plus he was very nice, quick, reasonably priced and offered a few solutions. Total lifesaver. read more

Showed up within 15 minutes of me calling to say that I'm locked out of my house. Upon arrival, they were able to unlock my door within 5 minutes. Very efficient service and personable technician! read more

Blaize did everything right. Quick response to initial call, provided up front estimate and explained approach he would take to fixing my challenging lock issues, texted with heads up prior to arrival, took a little extra time to solve problem, charged fair price, cleaned up, and was gracious upon departure. 5 star read more

Blaize was thoroughly professional, respectful of personal space, and everything you would expect in these times. We thought he offered a remarkable value, given how long he was out here and the thoroughness of the job. The role of locksmith is one of high precision. We've all had keys made by Ace or Home Depot. But Blaize is a perfectionist who did a stellar job. read more

Don't waste your time calling other locksmith anymore. Our patio sliding door lock was broken and Blaize did a quick and amazing job fixing it. He's honest and customer service oriented. His price is very fair as well. You can trust his work and him as a person. I'm very happy to have found his business because now I know who to call if any of our locks is broken. read more

I own a bar that opens at 3 p.m., and when I got to work, I couldn't get inside! Smiling Locksmith saved the day. Prompt and affordable.

Great, friendly service! Needed to replace a door lock, and Blaize responded immediately to my inquiry. I'm very happy with both the work and the price of it. read more

Add our story to the growing list of crazily positive experiences! We were showing our travel trailer to potential Craigslist buyers on a Sunday. When it came time to talk turkey, the buyer made one (mildly aggressive) demand: he wanted us to throw in the hitch from our truck. We were fine with that, but there was one hitch (awful, I know, but I had to do it): years ago we had secured the hitch to our truck via a locking pin. The lock in that pin had not endured the intervening years of weather well--it was corroded to the point that (even with a healthy dose of lubricant) our cheaply made key unceremoniously broke off in the lock. So we've got a buyer ready to hand us thousands of dollars for our trailer, but we can't get the stupid hitch off the truck!?! Needless to say, we were certain we were screwed. It would take a miracle to get a locksmith quickly on a Sunday, much less one that wouldn't charge us an appalling fee for such service. We called around a bit with no luck before trying Smiling Locksmith. Shockingly, he was amendable to the idea, but he was booked for the next hour or so. We pleaded with him about our time-sensitive situation, and he offered to confer with his next appointment to see if that person would consent to a little appointment shuffling. His other customer was gracious enough to say "no big deal," and he was doing battle with our lock about 15 minutes later! And do battle he did! The lock was so busted he ended up having to cut the pin off entirely! And the cost? Shockingly fair for such incredible service (and a tricky solution that involved showers of sparks). We know exactly who we're calling if we ever need a locksmith again. read more

Super friendly, quick to respond, and reasonably priced! All things that helped make a frustrating situation- keys locked in the car - more tolerable! Also, the fix to getting the car unlocked was extra tricky on our vehicle. Appreciate the skill and knowledge to try several different approaches! read more

We needed to get the locks changed on a rental home. Blaize was able to come out the next morning and quickly changed out five locks for us. The job was completed quickly and very professionally and the price was very fair. I would definitively not hesitate to call him in the future. read more

Got my cars ignition working when my key was stuck and could turn or remove. I could of paid $500 + to replace ignition and then have the drama up multiple keys. But instead owner operator fixed the mashed pin in the key slot for $225. It's a complicated procedure getting into the steering column but he got it done and 2 months later it's still working great and expect it to continue to be so. read more

Called Smiling Locksmith on Saturday and set an appointment for today (Monday). He was courteous, fast, professional and efficient. Blaize got my locks re-keyed at my business so now I don't have to worry about old employees still having a key! Thank you! read more

For months I had an irritating sticky deadbolt that would work when it wanted to. I finally decided to get it fixed by having my lock rekeyed. I called Blaize on Sunday morning and he answered?! Surprisingly, there was no extra fee for Sunday service so we set up a 1:30 appointment. He called 5 minutes before our scheduled time to let me know he was running 15-20 minutes, which was great because how often does anyone call to let you know they're running late these days? Anyway, 5 minutes in and out and I had my lock rekeyed. Great work, good pricing, and great customer service! read more

Blaize is awesome. He really helped me with something that I know nothing about. I just bought a home and he helped me set up a very specific scenario with my locks and gave me some suggestions to think about. Long story short, I needed another component to install. Not only did he come back again for free to install that missing component, but he went and got it for me so I would definitely have the correct piece that I needed. I really appreciated that. Next time I need some lock work, I'll definitely call Blaize. read more

Blaize is a rockstar. Polite. Quick to respond. Reasonable priced....and he smiles!! Used him twice so far!

It was about time to replace the lock in my house because the knobs and deadbolts were starting to get really tough to operate and getting chocolate sauce squirted into them several years back wasn't helping. I contacted Blaize to get his recommendations for new locks and knobs for the whole house. Although he doesn't stock that equipment, he helped me out immensely with some recommendations and I ordered the gear from Amazon. Then I scheduled an appointment with him. He was very courteous and professional, and the installation quality was very high. He helped me figure out the keypad-based lock. His prices were very reasonable. My only complaint was that he arrived significantly later than he said he would, even after his confirmation call. This is why he's getting 4 stars out of 5. But I would totally do business with the Smiling Locksmith again. read more

Blaize was professional, personal, timely, and fair with his pricing. I called to schedule a service and left a voicemail today. Blaize called me back a couple hours later, went over the details of my service request, and gave me his pricing upfront. I appreciated his directness and kindness in explaining how he does business. Once he showed up he got straight to work and did the job well. He also explained some of his story getting into the business and I appreciated his honesty and work ethic. A last minute change came up for what I had initially requested and he gave me a very fair price for that change. Overall, I would recommend Blaize and I would use his services again. Thanks Blaize! read more

I needed to have the locks changed at my mom's on a very quick turnaround. Blaze was awesome. He was right on time, super friendly, and super kind about the condition of the home (my mom is 76, with Alzheimer's). He was really promot in getting the locks changed, and very transparent about charges before starting, with no pressure whatsoever. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Blaze was great. Friendly, timely, straightforward and a quick worker. Would definitely call him again with any locksmith needs.

Quick and awesome service! We needed all locks replaced and Smiling Locksmith got it done. Very friendly and professional to work with. Highly recommend! read more

Purchased a smart lock and I needed it installed. Received quotes from 3 different locksmith's and they were the cheapest. Making the apt through Yelp was a piece of cake. Very friendly, extremely honest and caring. Great person to talk to and he really does smile! Definitely recommend! read more

Blaize is amazing. I really don't see any reason not to hit him up if you're in a bind. He charged me half of what a regular locksmith charged my friend, so you save money, and since he works independently he also makes more money than he would working for someone else. It's a win-win on both ends. And he's extremely amiable to boot! He also got to me in half an hour to help me out. Punctuality. Seriously, no reason not to call. read more

This locksmith is great! Very professional, quick, and fair in terms of pricing! Got our house doors installed with new door knobs and locks and would use this company again for any of our locksmith needs. read more

Recommend! Came through next day on New Year's Day short notice. 5 doors rekeyed in an hour. Super fast. Great rates!

We had a situation where a set of keys went missing. We were concerned that someone could have access to our home and car. We called Blaize at Smiling Locksmith. We are so glad we did. From the beginning he was upfront about the cost to re-key the house. No hidden charges or surprises. Our car was a bit more of an issue as it had a programable key. He checked his supplier as well as called a dealership then called us back with the options of him doing it or what the dealer could do and gave us a choice. No pressure. He wanted what was best for us. When he arrived he was friendly yet professional and did exactly what we needed for the price quoted. We hope we never lose keys again but if we do we will call Blaize. We highly recommend Smiling Locksmith. read more

Quick response, friendly, wore a mask, reasonable prices. I called and he was there. Super convenient. I would definitely recommend and use Smiling Locksmith again. read more

After some concerning interaction with a contractor who had a copy of my key and had not returned it; I needed someone to come out quickly as I had felt unsafe. He was so nice, came out quickly and changed all my locks. His professionalism was greatly appreciated! I literally slept better that night! read more

Can't say enough good things about Blaize. I had recently picked up a vehicle that only had 1 key, so I naturally hunted around for the cheapest way to get another key cut and programmed. So I picked up an Amazon key and programmed the transponder and alarm function myself. I really only needed someone to cut it. One thing that was an issue was the blade length on the Amazon key was almost 1/2" longer than my existing key. I tried Precision Locksmith in Beaverton first, but it was apparent that I was paying for their machine use and not their locksmithing knowledge. They told me that the key couldn't be cut and I needed to get the correct length key. Called up Blaize and he had me text him pictures of my existing key and Amazon key. At that time, I was also looking for a locksmith with a manual cutting machine after my experience with Precision. Blaize recommended a place with a manual machine and they even said that they couldn't do it. Probably code for not wanting the liability of screwing up. Blaize ends up calling me back and says that he thinks he can cut the key. He would even honor the price that Precision quoted me. Great! Met up with him and he gave it a go. Worked on every lock first try! Long story short, he cut the key and it worked without issue! All in all, got a spare key for roughly $62, whereas Blaize said it would have been upwards of $300 if I had just had him do all the work. He's definitely "my locksmith guy" now and would absolutely recommend him. read more

I was locked out, called Blaise. He was at the location within 30 minutes, and I was back in my condo 5 minutes after that. He was friendly and professional and didn't overcharge me. Highly recommended to anyone who needs locks installed, keys made, etc. read more

Excellent service, friendly, and great communication! Blaze arrived within 20 min of me being locked out, and fixed the issue within 10 min, while also providing a new lock. Highly recommend his business and will work with Blaze gladly again! read more

Just wanted to add that my experience was great! From a job well done, friendly flexible service and feeling safe as a woman home alone with a locksmith. read more

Honest, ethical, fast AND knowledgeable! I called Blaize at 3:40pm... He immediately answered his phone... and my questions. He was very transparent around pricing (which was reasonable) and kept to his word when the job was done. He scheduled an appointment for 3 hours after my call (which worked perfectly for me) and rekeyed six locks and installed 3 new deadbolts. If hiring an independent contractor who genuinely cares about customer service is important to you, don't hesitate to get your locksmithing needs serviced by this competent young man. read more

He responded really fast, was honest and no hidden fees. I appreciated him explaining the process and his charges thoroughly.

Outstanding work at a very affordable price. Had a good selection of parts available to work on my older garage side door. Was very communicative about when we get there based on traffic and other situations. Showed up and busted out the work in a timely fashion disappeared to his van to cut the keys and do some work came back and completed installation and cycled each and every lock to ensure that all keys work properly. Thank you very much for the work and we will certainly use you in the future as needed. read more
