Eric installed a new encoded deadbolt on our door that had an old broken deadbolt. He found a solution to repair the door lock which was very affordable. Eric is very professional and Meticulous. I strongly recommend to hire him for any locksmith jobs. read more

Erik Howes is the best mobile locksmith! He is so friendly too. No other employees. I'm a real estate broker & call him for my commercial & residential jobs. I will drive out to where he's working just to get a key copied because I've had so many bad keys cut by Lowe's & Home Depot that cost me time because they don't work well & get stuck in the lock requiring removal of lock. read more

Definitely agree with the other reviews. Erik has been a reliable locksmith for me and my team for many years. He has always been reliable, efficient, professional and cost effective. We manage many properties in the Seattle area and Sound Lock and Key is always our go to for all lock, door, and security needs. Thank you Erik for always being available for us! read more

Great service from Eric and really appreciated his fast response and reasonable rates.

My husband and I just closed on our house Friday. Hooray! We'd had the the keys for 2 hours before we found out that the doors automatically lock. Cool. It was 4PM and it was getting chillier. Panic began to set in... great, we just bought this house and now we have to break in??? I hopped on yelp and searched for mobile locksmith. Erik answered right away and was at our place within an hour. He not only got us inside, he rekeyed our 3 outside doors and made us spare keys so that this would never happen again. He was fast, efficient and the cost was on par with other lock outs (according to our real estate agent). Erik, thank you for saving me from the cold just in time! If locking ourselves out in the first 2 hours of owning the home is the worst that can happen, I think we're doing pretty well! read more

We moved into our new home a few weeks ago, and needed our house to get re-keyed. In addition, the previous owners left us a bunch of keys that we weren't sure what they were for. On top of that, just a few hours before Erik was supposed to come, my boyfriend locked our car keys in the car! Erik to the rescue - he came and helped us figure out what keys were for what, rekeyed the whole place, AND rescued our car keys from the car in like 30 minutes. His price was super, super reasonable for everything that he did. I was pretty astonished and super impressed. Highly recommend Erik and Sound Lock & Key in the future. read more

Has helped us twice with smart door locks. Fantastic service. Highly recommend Erik. He's quick and very good at what he does.

Highly recommend Sound Lock & Key if you're locked out of your apartment after-hours! I accidentally locked myself out of my room on the way to do laundry. My apartment manager and maintenance didn't answer my calls/texts for help, and I was getting desperate. I was looking at other locksmiths that all quoted me around $100... but Erik gave me a good price and made it to my apartment in exactly the amount of time he estimated (20 minutes!) I am especially grateful for Erik during these times of COVID-19. He was wearing a mask, and stayed at a healthy distance from me the whole time too. When I ran into my apartment to get money to pay, he respectfully waited in the hallway. Thank you Erik for saving me! read more

I would highly recommend this professional to say the least. He answered my call promptly, came within 20 minutes and then looked at my door and unlocked it within literally 30 seconds. Thank you so much for being honest, kind, friendly and just a great human being. I wish you all the best and wanted to say see you again! Haha but let's hope not. 5/5 stars and overall I am speechless with my experience with this company! He even gave me a new lock which was quoted at $200 over another locksmiths price and now I don't have to get new locks replaced! read more

Once again I'm locked out. I'm in Ballard. Keys are 1300 miles away. It's 4 am. Who you gonna call? Eric.

Eric is great. He comes quickly, is caring & efficient. Doesn't over charge. Highly recommend!

Eric was super helpful. He knew what was required, finished the project in less time than expected and answered all my questions.

Sound Lock & Key is our lifesaver! Erik is super fast, always answers his phone, happy to help. We have hired Sound Lock & Key for a few projects now. We have had our business re-keyed (4 doors), our pool table re-keyed, truck lockouts help, candy machine re-keyed, and even hand-towel dispenser locks added. His pricing is fair and his work is always outstanding. I would highly recommend Sound Lock & Key to anyone that is locked out or needing new keys made. Best in the area! read more

Amazing!! So prompt and professional. 100% thrilled with the service and would absolutely recommend to anybody in need of a locksmith.

I wanted to get a smart keyless deadbolt lock installed. I reached out to another local company that my condo building had used before, but they (a) would only install one of their locks and (b) didn't have any smart locks. So, based on just the Yelp reviews here, I reached out to Erik via email. He was super responsive. We traded a few emails and then talked to schedule an appointment. After I purchased the lock I wanted elsewhere, he came over and installed it in less than 20 minutes. He was even familiar with the lock I got and taught me how to program it. On top of that he was extremely friendly and courteous. Oh, and also, Erik's fee for the service call and install was less than half of what that other company wanted to charge me. I highly recommend! read more

My mailbox is break-in proof thanks to Sound Lock & Key. Thank you!

Got a smart lock installed by Erik and it was done in less time than I spent looking for an installer! Great work, would call again. Communicative, friendly, clean, and careful. read more

Erik was professional, kind and helpful! I am a first-time homebuyer who recently purchased a new home and needed to rekey. Out of all the locksmiths I contacted, Sound Lock & Key was the most reasonably priced. Erik was patient and understanding when I changed the time of my appointment several times. During stressful times, people like Erik are a god-send. Highly recommended! read more

This guy was awesome. Kind, on time, and fixed my door with ease. Would definitely call again.

Erik does excellent work, communicates well, and stands by the job. We had a couple of issues that cropped up and he was quick to fix them. Highly, highly recommended! read more

Smooth scheduling. Fair/competitive pricing. Good communication. Rapidly responded and took immediate corrective action when he missed the scheduled appointment. I would definitely hire this service again for re-keying my apartments. read more

Very fast to respond and arrive at our house the same day after we accidentally locked a bedroom in our house we didn't have a key for. Super easy to communicate with, and did the work quickly and for a reasonable price. Would definitely use Sound Lock & Key again! read more

Eric showed up right on time and was able to replace my lock with a nice turning bolt on the interior of my security door. Made me feel a lot safer! He was fast and efficient and matched my existing keys. Cost of the job is exactly what he quoted. I will definitely use again! Highly recommended. read more

So helpful!! I needed to get a key made TONIGHT for my neighbor to be able to feed my cats tomorrow. The local place wasn't open and I have yet to find a working key machine at a normal store. I called Sound Lock & key and he drove over to meet me near my house, made the key within seconds, and sent me on my way, no charge! So sweet and helpful when I couldn't find anything else And now my kitties will be well fed for my night away :) read more

My store had damage to the deadbolt lock (thanks to an unsuccessful break-in attempt). Erik came first thing on Sunday morning. He repaired and installed a new set in no time at all. What a kind and skilled locksmith. The best, by far, I've ever seen! read more

Great to finally have a trusted locksmith. I'm a real estate broker and needed him two days in a row. Not only able to show up within an hour, he quoted me the price prior to arrival. Thank you for the great service! read more

Fantastic service. Came out same day and helped me get into my locked garage then created new keys. Erik also helped me with several other lock issues and did everything at an incredibly fair price. He is 100% my new go-to locksmith! Thank you, Erik! read more

Erik is great, responsive, responsible and he cares. He rekeyed 5 locks, installed 4 deadbolts, all schlange encode and did that in less than 1h. On my speed dial for locksmiths... Others quote you different quotes for normal deadbolts vs digital, for no good reason. Would highly recommend. read more

Erik got back to me very quickly when I first sent him a message. Scheduling was easy and he showed up right on the dot. Friendly and professional, he created new keys for our trailer door and storage compartments; the whole experience was very smooth. read more

They were very responsive and came to re-key several locks within a couple hours of my contacting them. The job was done quickly and with high quality. I was going to buy new door knobs but Erik offered to disable the locking mechanisms which does not cost anything and achieves the same end result. Would use again and recommend. read more

Absolutely stellar service! They are fast and very competitively priced. He's saved my bacon a couple times and I couldn't recommend him enough! read more

Eric was so nice. He even tried to help us over the phone but we were too afraid of screwing up the door. He was at our place in less than 20 minutes, wearing a mask. He got the old deadbolt off, that had been in the locked position and unable to reset, and the new lock on super fast. read more

Extremely professional, fast, and very reasonable prices! We called him after our car was broken into and suspected a set of keys was taken. He was there within an hour to replace the locks on our house, and finished in 30 minutes. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Excellent work and upfront pricing. Got over 4 locks replaced and a smart lock installed in no time.

Professional, courteous and ontime. I couldn't be more impressed with Eric's professionalism and work. I called Eric on a Tuesday because I misplaced the keys to my truck tool box. He answered right away, gave me a fair quote and scheduled me for the next day. 24 hours later, all was resolved and I was able to access my truck box once again. As I have mentioned in my other reviews, customer service means a lot to me. Eric excels in this quality and I 'm glad to recommend his services to anyone. read more

We needed a deadbolt and smart lock installed plus a bunch of locks re-keyed. Erik was quick to respond to my messages, punctual, and friendly. Though the cost of a service call is higher than some of the other locksmiths I checked out on Yelp, the reliability was worth it. He also showed us how to add and delete codes from our keypad lock which I really appreciated! read more

Responded promptly. Quote was exact. Friendly service and good attention to COVID safety. Clearly knows the trade and provided great value. Intend to use Erik for all future locksmith needs. read more

Erik was great! He came to help us re key locks and install a smart dead bolt. He was responsive from the first initial contact and even gave us some tips in making sure we could re key how we wanted. He called to let us know he might be late. Arrived in a marked car and clothing so there was never any question if it was him. He was also quick! He made a recommendation about our door knob. He even gave us an extra key and another recommendation for placement in our home. We had some difficulties with the new keys after he left. He came right back and fixed it. Couldn't have asked for any better service or price! He had gloves and a mask on. Took his shoes off in the house. He will definitely be our lock smith from now on and we highly recommend him! read more
