I was traveling in Santa Monica and mistakenly locked my rental car with the keys in the trunk. I submitted a Request a Quote to find a locksmith nearby, and Max quickly replied. He was able to get a locksmith sent out to me within 45 minutes. Aly was super professional and got us access to the car's trunk. From the call to getting the keys back, the total time was about an hour. This was great, especially since Max and Aly were very communicative, allowing me to do tourist things while waiting. Also. the service was extremely fair in price (better than the other quotes I got) All in all, a great experience with Total Relock! read more

Max was extremely efficient. Got 2 smart locks rekeyed and installed and was very detail oriented in his work.

Max was a true professional. I called him on Wednesday after our HOA's mailroom had been burglarized. He was out here within minutes, changed the lock and made 40 key copies from his car - all in less than an hour and for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended using his services. Thank you Max! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Max is awesome. If you're looking for a locksmith who is honest, professional, and a total expert, look no further. My mom's door handle was unlocked but jammed. We couldn't get into her place at all. Max was prompt in his response and came on time. He had to try and go in through the window instead of just breaking the door handle. After opening the window with no damage, he said, "Alright... adventure. I have to get my tools now." The price was totally fair and he even looked at a jammed filing cabinet that I couldn't open due to movers damaging it. He took 5 minutes and got the 2 drawers opened. I am now so happy that we have a locksmith we can trust and would highly recommend him to all. read more

I would hire Max again and here are the reasons why. One of my home's door lock mechanisms and casing had to be replaced completely and Max handled it in a very professional manner, offering several options from both a style and security perspective. He arrived on time and worked very quickly to replace my locks. I even had him come back to do some additional work and it was done efficiently, and at a fair price. read more

So happy to have called Max!! I have a thumb print smart lock that I was having issues with and got locked out of a room. I read the reviews, and they were very accurate. He was very personable, professional, and knowledgeable, came out the same day, fixed the problem within a few minutes and was his rate was very reasonable. A lifesaver for sure. If you aren't sure who to call, call Max. He is a safe bet. read more

Came right away, did a great job. Very professional. Thank you so much, he both installed a door knob and changed locks.

Max is the best! As an estate manager for UHNW properties, I require discretion, reliability, and expertise--and Max is the best! He's been able to do every request we have asked of him. I also believe he is the only locksmith in LA that works on multi point locks. The houses I manage have quite a few of those. He has been able to do requests I didn't think could be done. If you need a locksmith, call Max. He owns the company and is the only employee. It is so much easier and quicker to work directly with him than other locksmiths. I manage 10 houses and it really makes a difference working directly with Max. read more

Wow. In this day and age where it seems like everything and everyone is out to get you, it's nice to know there are still honest businesses like Total Relock. I used the Yelp feature to send out a request for bid on my car unlocking and they were the first to respond. I forgot to get his name but I think it's Max based on other reviews. I just can't say enough good things about the integrity of this man. He called first (not text), gave a good quote and time he could be here and showed up as promised. I don't know what more you could ask? And I'm guessing by his 5-star rating (which I didn't even realize until AFTER he had completed the job), everyone else feels the same. If I ever need locksmith services again, "he'll be back!" read more

So we live on ocean front walk we have a gate to the boardwalk that started to freeze up, and our dog sitter accidentally broke the front door key off in the lock. We had to get it fixed, checked out Yelp found Total Relock. Called and spoke to Max , he's in the Venice neighborhood and come out very quickly. After assessing the situation, making a recommendation giving us a fair quote he started work and to my dismay it was incredibly quick. Max was fast, efficient clean, and friendly, most importantly everything locked smoothly Max was great he'll be my first call for any lock related questions or issue. Thanks Max. read more

I had a lock on my garage that was falling apart. Given how important it is to protect my garage from thieves, I could not go without a lock. I went on yelp and contacted this company and he responded within seconds. He asked me for pictures, gave me a very reasonable, if not, low quote, and was here, in less than 15 minutes! I'm not kidding. Showed up in a nice Tesla vehicle, looking like the Terminator. He did a stellar job diagnosing the problem. He happened to have all of the appropriate parts already in his vehicle and, within 20 minutes, was able to do the entire job of redoing my lock, rekeying the lock, and installing everything. I cannot recommend him enough. Exceptional and immediate service at a great price! read more

Efficient and honest. And the keys he provided worked perfectly, smooth as a baby's bottom. What more could you ask for from a locksmith?

Great service!!! Straight to the point, fast and very professional. Max is a nice guy! He was interested in my particular case of an old lock (a model no longer available on the market) and knew I had no option but to replace it with a new one, but rather repair it by any means necessary. As soon as he opened the system, he identified the fault. Mission accomplished. Highly recommend Total Relock. read more

Incredibly quick and did great work after another company couldn't program and cut my car key correctly

Phenomenal business! I reached out to Max at Total Relock via Yelp to describe my issue and ask for a quote. While every other vendor immediately sent a quote, Max instead took the time to offer a quick suggestion that completely resolved the problem--no house visit needed. His honesty, expertise, and kindness truly floored me. It's rare to find that level of integrity and genuine customer care. Couldn't recommend Total Relock more highly! read more

Most sensational experience I have ever had with a Mechanic/locksmith. This guy pulled up looking like a movie star right on time. Fixed everything super quickly and the price was a fair. I will definitely be using him in the future. Don't waste your money with other companies. PS, tip your mechanics... they deserve it more than coffee shops! read more

Stellar response time, quick and efficient. I locked myself out of my loft the night before and needed someone in the the area ASAP. I waited til morning to call him. I initially tried getting in myself but failed so I called him AGAIN. He was on site within minutes (10 or less) was aware of my area and building. He was very easy on the eyes, professional yet polite. So impressed with him that I'll be using his services for my auto key fob. Highly recommend this business and Max, the consummate locksmith. read more
