Was looking into replacing my front door's doorknob. Barry was very efficient and responsive with the initial communication and setting up a plan!

I live near the foothills. My front door lock was jamming and I couldn't lock it from inside or outside. I suspect it's from normal house shifting/sliding. Called SJ Locksmith and they sent someone out (I didn't catch his name). The locksmith diagnosed it on the dot and quickly fixed. From call to fix - less than an hour. The guy is a pro and I'd definitely use them again for any future lock issues. Thank you! read more

Got locked out on a Sunday morning, while I was already running late to an important meeting. It was potentially going to be a huge issue. Barry answered the phone number on this page within a couple of rings, and was at my house within 20 minutes. Checked the address on my ID (good!) then picked my front door lock for me. I have no idea what a fair price for an emergency visit on a Sunday is, but Barry quoted me up front on the phone and didn't try to change the numbers in person. And for answering the phone right away and such top notch service, it was well worth what I paid. read more

Barry is the man! After calls with multiple incompetent locksmiths I thankfully found Barry. He's a straight shooter. Hey may not tell you what you want to hear, but he tells you the truth. I sent him photos of my lock with a brief explanation of the issue. His diagnostic over the phone was 100% correct. Other wanted to charge me to come out to diagnose the problem, didn't ask questions, and just wanted to come out to me. Barry is a master of his craft. I don't know lock lingo, but he identified the problem with just a photo. Forget the rest and choose the best. read more

Barry, the owner, replied to my email inquiry within 15 minutes and explained in details of what locks I needed for my commercial building and why it was on the expensive side due to building compliant and handicap compliant codes. Since I was not in a hurry, Barry came the next morning, on time regardless of Bay Area's horrible morning traffic. He also made sure to call me first before he came over. Once on-site, Barry worked his magic quickly. His charge is very reasonable, in my opinion. Overall, I highly recommend Barry and The San Jose Locksmith if you are looking for a reliable locksmith, either for your residential site or commercial business. read more

I came on Yelp to find a locksmith for my parents' door. I found this company here and saw that they had 5 stars so I called to give them a chance. Well, he had me take pictures of the door/lock to see what I needed so he could provide me a quote. Once I did so, he quickly called me back and told me the price. It was affordable--super affordable for such an important job. When I asked him when he would be available, he said he would be able to make it within the next two hours. A half hour later, he provided an eta. He came within a hour. He was so kind, provided quality service, didn't take advantage of us like other locksmiths, and was super helpful. If I could give this company a 10, I would. Definitely will use them again! read more

Barry came promptly and fixed problems with both the deadbolt and the latch very efficiently and at a reasonable cost. He is quite knowledgeable and I'm very comfortable recommending him. read more

He even adjusted the door to make sure it locked properly, which was a nice touch that I didn't expect. Barry was friendly, professional, and didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need. His rates were reasonable and exactly what he quoted me over the phone. If you need a locksmith in San Jose, I definitely recommend Barry.

Hi, I am amazed how wonderful this young man is... Called with a question on where to purchase a mortise lock. He took his time to explain. He doesn't carry that particular part, but gave me some advice on how to locate it through other vendors. I can't believe how thoughtful and patient he was to explain everything to me. So no... I did not use his service, but if I ever have an opportunity to use a service for another lock matter, I definitely will!! Thank you 'Barry! read more

We appreciate his suggestions, and we won't hesitate to use their service for our future needs. read more

Barry pulled up to me with the quickness. I was out of his service area and in the boonies. He was there within 45 min on a weekend, fixed my problem and pulled off within 30 minutes. Best part was that he had all necessary replacement hardware on his truck. I would most definitely recommend this guy. read more

I worked with Barry to install a replacement front door lock. He was easily reached and great communication and knowledge to decide on the best choice for my situation. He had me text pictures of my current door/lock which he analyzed within minutes and we decided on the best choice (which turned out to be to use a Schlage door lock I had sitting around, purchased a while back, and which he said was excellent). He arrived promptly at the arranged time and was friendly, professional, efficient and did a great job. He will now be my permanent go-to guy for any lock related work Highly highly recommended! read more

If you're looking for a smart, reliable, trustworthy, 24/7 (cannot emphasize this enough) locksmith stop scrolling because Barry is your guy! We had an emergency with our front door at 1 in the morning and after calling other "24/7" locksmiths being told they wouldn't be able to come until 9am we finally came across Barry's page and he showed up within 15min of us calling!! He is such an awesome guy and educated us about what he was going to do with our lock and to top it off so well worth the price. Overall such a positive experience and I cannot (and will not) stop recommending him. Thank you so much!!! read more

Barry, great name by the way was the only person who replied and pick up his phone on July 4th. We had our keys stolen the night before and needed to get the locks replaced with a new key for our store. I called a bunch of locksmiths in the area but everyone was gone for July 4th which is understandable. First person I got a hold of was Barry at San Jose locksmith. First question I asked was are you guys open and he replied "we're always open, 24/7". Then he proceeded to ask a few questions. I texted him the address and he was there within 45 minutes and done within 15. He gave the key to the front desk, I paid via clover over the phone, while being a hour away enjoying my July 4th. Thanks again! read more

Spent 5 minutes on Yelp and found a few places to call to. Barry was the first person I called and I'm glad he was the first. Very polite and accommodating. The price didn't sound cheap but I guess that's standard so nothing to complain. He kindly accepted to come in the same night. He was there right on time which I really liked. He is very knowledgeable and we talked about locks for sometime and I could tell he well knew what he's doing. He also showed me how to reprogram my garage keys. He's been in the business for over 23 years and that speaks for itself. He explained all the options in front of me and helped re-keying all the locks in my house. Don't think twice just give him a call. He's great. read more

The San Jose Locksmith - Mr. Barry - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Jose, California

I seldom write a review mainly because it is rare I find someone to rave about. If I don't have anything nice to say, I'm not one to leave "bad" reviews - I just say nothing. Barry is the real deal. He is everything and more other people claim. He is professional, patient and kind. I hired Barry to change the locks at a Sheriff Eviction. It was an incredibly stressful situation that unfortunately dragged on for six (6) days. I stayed in contact with Barry every day as the Sheriff Deputy kept me in the loop as to what was happening. On day six, at 3:30 pm I got the call from the Deputy that said "get to the property now." I called Barry and he arrived minutes later. It took some time but eventually Barry was able to do this thing - change the locks and ensure the property was secured. It was not an easy task due to a massive hoarding situation in the home. Barry was practical in his approach and took every cost-cutting measure he could and still secure the property. In other words, no gouging or taking advantage! I recommend Barry without reservation. I remain impressed by how well he managed an incredibly stressful eviction. read more

Called Barry to come and rekey all the locks in our new home. He gave me the run down of his prices over the phone. Said he could be there the same day (we weren't in a rush), so glad to have gotten it done earlier than expected. He is a really nice guy. I showed him all the locks and he had some great suggestions. He even stayed with my husband while my husband tried to reprogram the Lockly installed on one of the doors. We couldn't get it to connect, but the fact that Barry stuck around to be of assistance if the lock needed to be taken apart was really kind of him. All-in-all, VERY great service!
