Hire Yoni - someone who knows what he's doing! The handle on the front door of our condo kept falling off. We hired two different people. Neither could fix the problem nor offer any solution. I decided to purchase a new lock and then call a proper locksmith to install it. I called Yoni, and he asked me to send a photo of the lock I purchased. He kindly told me that the lock I bought would not work. We made an appointment for the same day so he could try to fix my door handle without buying a new lock. Alas, he pointed out that the threads on the old handle were stripped. He told me exactly what kind of lock to buy. I searched eBay and sent him pictures of what I found. He confirmed it would work. When the lock arrived, he came the next day and installed it. Success! The whole experience was very positive. It is a pleasure to work with someone so helpful and kind. :) read more

I reached out to Yoni on Yelp for some locks that I needed to be rekeyed at my shop. The locks are not your standard style so I provided him the information about them and he knew exactly what they were and he even accommodated my very busy schedule. He arrived promptly and went to work. He ran into some issues that cost more but he was transparent and discussed the issue with me before proceeding. I have had a lot of experiences with locksmiths over the years but Yoni is by far the best. He did great work, was communicative and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

Yoni was great! Saved my life when I had an issue unlocking my door because of a safety device. Booked him to change out the locks and make and consolidate to just one key. Thank you, Yoni! read more

15 out of 10 stars for Yoni! I locked myself out of my apartment and didn't (yet) have a spare key. After calling a few other locksmiths, all who were booked, the last referred me to Yoni and I'm so glad he did. Yoni picked up my call right away, came in 30 minutes, and took 2 minutes to get me back into my place. All that and his price was WAY less than what I've paid for a locksmith in the past, especially for a last minute rush job. And he's a such a nice guy! Would def recommend him to anyone, and already have! read more

Yoni was amazing, he was the only lock smith that answered the phone late on a Saturday night. He was very professional and attentive to detail, he was able to get us back into our home within minutes. I highly recommend him. read more

Got locked out of my house (smart lock plus regular handle with lock) and immediately contacted Yoni. He answered and said he'd be on his way in ~30 mins. Once he got here he got straight to work and quickly opened my door! Other spots were quoting me $250 and longer wait times but Yoni was the only one that said he'd be right over plus for $90 it was a great deal. Real professional and even suggested to help change the handle to one without a lock to prevent this in the future! read more

Yoni was amazing. Very quick and gave a fair price. He kept the communication the entire time. I recommend him highly.

Yoni is amazing! Kind, reliable, deeply capable, honest, and ethical. I was locked out of my apartment and I felt really bad, but he came right away and helped me with such ease and care. Thank you, Yoni!! read more

Professional, timely, and great to work with. Highly recommend when you are in a bind.

Yoni was excellent. I asked him to replace five locks when I moved back into my house. He suggested that it would be most cost efficient to rekey the locks instead. He could have tried to upcharge me but he provided the advice that worked best for my situation. He was prompt and meticulous in ensuring each lock was working and made minor adjustments after the initial keying to make sure they worked correctly. I would use Yoni again or recommend him without hesistation read more

Yoni was amazing. Professional, kind, and great at his job. We had a lock emergency at night and he came immediately, and solved the problem quickly and at a really fair price. Highly recommend! read more

He's amazing and was such a lifesaver for me. He personally tool my call, arrived quickly, and, as stated and most of all, is someone you can truly trust. He's not a fraud like this other advertised locksmith online. read more

Oh my goodness. I was locked out of my apartment in a tizzy and Yoni was rushing to my rescue no questions asked and coming to save me. My landlord showed up last minute snd Yoni was so kind about not worrying about it when I called to let him know. Highly recommend! read more

10/10 and if I could give 12 stars, I would. Yoni 1) Answers his phone (instead of letting it go to voicemail and delaying the process) 2) Yoni is professional, kind, polite & listens to what his customer needs 3) Completed the job exactly at the hour & timeframe he projected and went above and beyond to help me. 4) I can understand why his customers are all giving 5 star reviews and saying they will always refer Yoni to other clients 5) Will never have to hire another locksmith Finally this business and the way you will be treated may re-instill your faith in a one-person small business. Purchased the hardware for me at Home Depot and still arrived punctually. Responded to every detail, all the while letting me know he cares about his Gold Standard service level. read more

Yoni The Locksmith - Lock Yoni purchased per our discussion - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Oakland, California

Yoni came by super quickly to fix our lock. He also showed me how to take apart the lock so I might be able to alleviate simple issues in the future. Very nice person, clearly loves his trade. read more

Yoni is great! He can get you taken care of at any time of day. I highly recommend, he's quick and efficient.

LIFESAVER. Agreed with all the other reviews - prompt, reassuring communication. Super skilled - "right tools for the job". Fast, professional, and KIND as well. And punctual :) This dude's positive karma is unimaginably copious... Thank you Yoni. read more

Yoni answered and arrived in 15min. There's nothing more stressful than getting locked out - not only was he quick, he was incredibly calm during a stressful experience. Thanks a lot for your help read more

Yoni was the only locksmith I called on Sunday who answered the phone. I sent him pictures of the work I needed, and we set a date and time for him to repair the door plate. First, he showed up on time. He introduced himself and was friendly. I walked him to the door that needed repairs, and he got straight to work. Yoni completed the work in record time for a more than reasonable price. The work was perfectly completed. When I need a locksmith again, Yoni will be my first call. read more

I lost my keys for my garage's padlock. Found Yoni on yelp, he came quickly as he promised and slove my problems, price was reasonable. Would recommend him to everyone. read more

Came promptly and fixed my issue. He was so thorough and polite, explaining every step of the process. I actually had him install a deadbolt as well and he did a fabulous job. I feel safe. I actually recommended his services to the owner of the building next to me. He was that great. Price is on point. Service is beyond amazing! Thank you so much Yoni! read more

Great service, responsive, clean, affordable and friendly. Definitely will use again.

Yoni saved the day! Visiting parents accidentally locked the bathroom door from the inside and with a full (tiny) house, that second bathroom was desperately needed. After 3 hours of trying to open the door, we reached out to Yoni around 10pm. He gave an ETA of midnight, arrived early, was able to unlock the door without causing any damage (and within a few minutes!), and charged a very fair price. Plus, he is a really nice guy! Thank you, Yoni! read more

I just had Yoni come out to my house to fix an old gate lock with several problems. I was able to reach him immediately (which is very rare these days), he worked around my schedule, and he came out on time! The repair turned out to be much more complex than we originally thought due to wear and tear of the old gate lock, but he was able to repair in a reasonable amount of time at a fair price. There's no doubt who I'm going to call going forward for all of my future locksmith jobs! read more

Called Yoni in the late afternoon after calling 4 other locksmiths who said they were closing up for the day. My front door lock had a lose screw that had jammed the door shut. I couldn't open it anymore. He was able to come out within 2 hours and fix the issue. He was remarkably cheap as well. Very nice and courteous man - always a plus! read more

My neighbor locked herself out of the house at 6pm. I called Yoni and was there in 15 minutes!

I needed quotes to get an interior door picked. Yoni was super responsive, professional, and offers fair pricing!

Fast, Friendly and Fair Pricing I called Yoni to come out and repair a lock and he was prompt, and did a very good job. I highly recommend you give Yoni a call when in need. read more

I needed 2 locks re-keyed. Yoni was very responsive/communicative, was able to help me the same day, and completed the job really quickly. He also kindly helped me fix a door that wasn't closing properly. I'm always so happy to find locally-owned businesses that do a great job, and I highly recommend this one. Thanks, Yoni! read more

Locked out on a weekend, he answered his phone, offered a good price, came right away as he said. I wondered why his business name is "Yoni." Turns out he's originally Etriean and the Yoni is a goddess representing creative power, which is how the term yoni came about. I loved that he gave himself that name and held it proudly. He had clear present attention and got things done. read more

Gave Yoni a call and he was at our house in 15 minutes. Maybe even less. He was polite and fast. All done in probably 30 mins or less from making the phone call. read more

Great service. Very responsive, friendly, and professional with fair and transparent pricing after you describe the issue. We were having problems with our front door locking mechanism sticking (not a lockout per se), and after a few unsuccessful attempts to fix it myself, I figured it was time for professional help. Yoni was very thorough in diagnosing our unusual lock (the problem was a broken-but-not-yet-completely-functionless part), offering advice, and coming to a solution. Definitely recommend and would use again for any locksmithing needs! read more

Excellent service all around and super fast! Much appreciated for the swift and effective service.

Yoni was fantastic. Squeezed me in at the end of the day (same day) for an emergency repair. Was thoughtful, conscientious and fixed the problem easily. He quoted me a reasonable fee ($50) to come assess the problem and the full charge was totally fair. Thank you Yoni! Highly recommend! read more

11/10 recommend Yoni! He was very timely with his responsives. From the moment I called him to when he arrived and opened my door, it took a total of 30min or less. I've had another locksmith experience at my same apartment before, but it ended with my door damaged and lock broken. This did not happen with Yoni!!! Yoni knew exactly what he was doing and did not leave any damages at all. He also had a great customer service and positive attitude even though my request was late at night. I will be sure to keep his business card for any future incidents. read more

Yoni fixed my mailbox lock and it was a nice guy to work with. Punctual, communicative, and good price. I recommend!

Came within 15 minutes, friendly, knowledgeable and fixed my door quickly! I would totally hire him again in the future.

Amazing! I use Yoni's services when my tenants lose their keys at my property. I give his number to my fellow managers as well. He is very speedy efficient and professional!! read more
