    The vintage front door lock needed replacement
    Robert B.

    United responded immediately and skillfully replaced and in one instance upgraded the locks on our 1910-vintage house. The total bill was more than reasonable. Highly recommend this team.

    More solid, new locks
    Sue K.

    Thank you, Ygal for your fast, friendly, and expert service! I requested a quote via Yelp and only United Locksmith replied quickly and with a fair quote. He is a great communicator and scheduled to come as soon as possible. He assessed my current lock and suggested a better, more secure one without changing the look of it. I am currently the President of my HOA and will be keeping his company on hand to recommend to our property manager and condo unit owners. Thank you!!

    3 keys. Igal finishing packing up.

    Came on time and when the fix was easier than expected charged me less than the initial quote. Highly recommend.

    I had an issue with a lock and they told me to put WD40 on it. Absolute clowns. Call literally anyone else.

    I called on Saturday night because I was locked out of my apt in the Marina and this location was…read morestated as 2 miles away and SF based. The guy answered and said his "agent" would call me but he's on his way. Eventually an East Bay number called at 9:50pm, and said he'd be there in 30 mins. I asked how much the price would be and he said anywhere from $85 to $140. After waiting almost an hour and a half, he finally showed up at 11:10pm and told me my apt lock was "commercial" and the "driving fee" from the East Bay is $150 on its own and this lock is actually $270 -- but he'd take $180 on Zelle immediately. He then unlocked my door in about 8 seconds. Being that it was almost midnight and I'm a woman alone, I had no choice. I'm not sure why a "driving fee" would be relevant to a business that advertises itself as LOCAL. I could have called the plenty of other SF-based locksmiths and 1) not had to wait much longer than promised 2) not been pressured into a payment that was well over the price that was quoted.

    I was charged $750 for a very simple residential lockout on a Kwikset deadbolt…read more The technician did not disclose any price before starting the service. He only told me the cost after the door was already opened, when I no longer had the option to refuse. This is classic price gouging and an example of deceptive business practice. A standard lockout in San Francisco is normally $120-$200, even for SmartKey models. Charging $750 without prior disclosure is unacceptable. I am requesting a partial refund and a written explanation of their pricing structure. Until then, I cannot recommend this company.
