Shawn was responsive, pleasant, and got the job done. The lock was a difficult job so Shawn needed a special tool and came back the next day during the time frame that he promised. That's all I ask for! read more

I was introduced to Sean from capital hardware in Santa Barbara. I was very pleased with the outcome of the installation of the locks and door hardware. I highly recommend Sean for any projects. read more

We contacted Shawn because we got locked out of the apartment we were renting. He responded immediately - you can tell he is serious about offering exceptional service. We ended up finding a neighbor who had a spare key and canceled as he was already on his way. Shawn could not have been more understanding and cool about it. Would highly recommend SW for their wonderful professionalism! read more

They gave me Quick and quality service. Also they were Well priced. I Will use them again and recommend them.

The SW Locksmith owner, Sean, came to our house on a Sunday to help us open a metal interior door that was completely stuck. It was important that we get into the room as soon as possible, so we totally appreciated that SW Locksmith would come out on a a Sunday, and I mean right away; exactly on time, and he began to work his magic i'm the non-functioning lock immediately. He quickly and successfully opened the door, and also preserved the integrity of the lock and door so that we can continue using it. And he did it in no time at all and at a price that was seriously about half as much as I would expect to pay! In fact, I would have been happy paying three times the amount considering the service The happy, knowledgeable, cheerful person we were dealing with. The experience was so delightful that I would it compare it to the service we would get at the Ritz Carlton--awesome! Sean is a fascinating guy with a magically wonderful personality, and I'll bet you'll feel compelled to write a great review for him too. If you're looking for a fast, super professional, warm and friendly locksmith who should probably charge more for his services, then look no further. SW locksmith is the place for you. read more

I am so grateful to Shawn for his speedy response and generous service. At 8 pm on Thanksgiving, he responded to my Yelp inquiry, and we were able to arrange lock changes for 11 am the next morning. I didn't wait for his business to be open, I inquired directly through Yelp and it worked beautifully--highly recommend! read more

Shawn is a good guy but not reliable. Had a conversation with him on the phone that made me feel bad as I could tell he was brutally hungover. Upon reaching out to some friends who happened to be former clients, I was assured that was just the way he runs his business. Talks a big talk, but if you want something as simple as a lock installed, he has the ability to make it really tedious. I would look elsewhere get the job done in a reliable or timely manner. read more

I put a Yelp request for quotes out and Shawn was super quick on the response, reasonable on the rate and got the job. I wanted to re-key our new house and he did a quick assessment (no charge) and found that one of the knobs was internally broken and another knob recommended to replace. So as to not leave us with protection (as who knows how many keys are out their from the past residents), he re-keyed our locks and directed us to the best replacement hardware. We got that and he came back to finish the job with no extra charge for the second trip. He wore a mask and was respectful our space. I would recommend SW for your locksmith needs!! read more

Job was completed quickly at my business location within 20 minutes but Shawn changed the price after arrival. We had a clear conversation on pricing and the exact project details. He confirmed the price via text. I was fooled. Be AWARE of his price quotes as he will change it when he can take advantage of the situation. read more

I needed 5 locks re keyed and 1 deadbolt replaced, Sean responded to my request thru Yelp within minutes, answered all of my questions and was able to schedule the job within the hour. He arrived on time, he was very professional, fast and he even fixed the sagging gate issue! His fee was lower than expected too. I highly recommend SW Locksmith, thank you Sean! read more

Had an issue with my front door. Great hardware and junk internals led to the inner body falling apart as I removed my key. Called the SW number and the owner answered. How nice was that. He said he was nearby, it was a late Friday afternoon and he came right over. Shawn rebuilt the internals and lubricated the deadbolt. Works great. Highly recommend Shawn for any type of key or lock work you may need for your business or your residence. Thanks Shawn. read more

Shawn is so responsive and a very knowledgeable person! I would highly recommend him! read more

Locked myself out of my car. Response was fast and work was efficient. Good communication which was key due to my busy work schedule.

One of the best hardware in town recommended Shawn to me as I had an issue with a high-end brand broken lock , purchased at the store, the inside parts of one of the 2 knobs were partially broken. Even if quite busy Shawn was prompt to find the time to come and fix the lock and for a reasonable price. It would have been expensive to replace the unit! The lock was not very cooperative but Shawn knew how to handle it! He is the locksmith you want to call when you have an issue! read more

Shawn was awesome! Available, friendly, efficient and most importantly, affordable!! He showed up at my storage unit, introduced himself and got to work.

Two thumbs up from me! read more

Sean set a time and date and showed up on time and took care of rekeying our doors and fixing our front door latch that really hasn't worked correctly for a long time. Very pleased with his work and pricing and I highly recommend him. read more

I called Shawn to see if he could customize a Schlage lock to fit a custom gate. He came by the following morning and gave a well thought out plan. The following day he came back and installed the lock within a couple of hours. He showed a great deal of care, knowledge and worksmanship working on the gate and understanding the time that was dedicated to building it. I would recommend his work and thoughtful approach for projects large or small. read more

Got locked out of my place last night and Shawn came to the rescue! Was finally able to get in so Made an appointment for next morning. Shawn texted he was on the way and then showed up promptly at our meeting time. He was quick, efficient, and honest. Told me he could fix my lock instead of selling me a new one. He also was able to re-key existing keys to fit in the lock that needed adjusting. He was in and out in 30 min and charged me accordingly. He didn't take advantage and I highly recommend. read more

Highly recommend Shawn - A+ service! I had a pair of Fuhr French doors that were stuck in the locked position. (The bottom roller would not go down). Before I called Shawn at SW Locksmith I had tried another locksmith in town who after spending an hour with the doors said that the whole locking system was broken and that I needed to find the replacement locks myself. I emailed the German maker and found replacement parts through Hoppe, but before I purchased the parts I decided to get a second opinion. So glad I did. I called Shawn and he came by 15 minutes later - within 10 minutes he had the doors open. He said they were not broken at all and they just needed to be lubricated. Shawn came back the next morning and lubricated and tightened up these doors and all the others in my house. He was super fast at fixing everything because he knows what he is doing. I wish I had called him first. Thanks Shawn!!!! read more

Very quick to get to my location to help with vehicle lockout. Very good customer service and helpful with insurance reimbursement. Reasonable price as well. Other locksmith i called was $95. Would recommend to a friend! read more

Sean was awesome. He was quick, efficient and the cost way reasonable. He totally knew what he was doing as my lock was a newer and trickier set up. Didn't charge me extra for having to take the knob apart. Got me in and out in a flash. Highly recommend! Thanks so much Sean! read more

Shawn is friends with a friend of mine and wouldn't come out to get me into a rental house I was staying in because he didn't believe i was staying there. I had the owner call him but he still wouldn't come out. I called ESP and they came out immediately without a problem. Shawn has an attitude issue. read more

SW Locksmith is great. I called them for a non-emergency repair on my front-door lock and Shawn came out the same day. He fixed the problem and even fixed another issue that I had just learned to live with. I highly recommend SW Locksmith. read more
