Fred’s Lock Maintenance and Service , LLC

I called Fred because I needed a new deadbolt on the front door of my RV. Fred was very courteous on the phone. He called when he was on the way. He is knowledgeable, and works very efficiently. I am very pleased with the end result. I can definitely recommend Fred.

Professional, knowledgeable and cordial. Great customer service and communication. 5 Stars!

my husband and i were in the middle of packing up boxes for movers coming the very next day when the wind slammed a bedroom door shut. the door had been locked at some point, we didnt have a key, and it could only be opened from the inside. based on his Unilocal reviews, we called fred. even though it was 430pm and he closed at 5, he quoted us a reasonable price and was here within 15 minutes. took him maybe 15 – 20 minutes to open the door, and we were all set. excellent service!

Great customer service. Fred is very friendly, efficient and honest. Came sooner than he said he would. And he is available on weekends. Very convenient and he knows his stuff. I definitely will recommend Fred to anyone!!!

I needed some lock maintenance and some keys made for a custom built utility work van. I was in the Clayton area so I looked on Unilocal to find a locksmith that could help. I called «Five Star Fred» and he told me to come on down. He performed the service in the driveway of his home. I presented an unusual key to be duplicated to him that he didn’t have a blank for. But I didn’t get the typical «sorry we don’t have that one.» But rather, Fred saw it as a challenge, and spent like 20min carving a custom key out of a non-​fitting blank. Reasonable prices and no extra charges for unneeded repairs. All I can say is that they don’t call him Five Star Fred for nothin!

Fred is a very experienced locksmith and has worked to re-​key 6 locks on my house today. He is a perfectionist and was able to get the locks switched out and to turn smoothly (even on older locks). If there is a little hitch or snag when turning the key to unlock the door, he will work to make it perfect and smooth.
He is very diligent, competively priced and professional. His work van is pretty amazing too, reminds me of the Key Master in the movie The Matrix! He is also very nice and informative if you should wish to engage in conversation.
Definitely has my recommendation.

Called Fred for the first time to re-​key and install some locks around the house. He was right on time, ultra-​professional, good-​natured, and did a wonderful job. We couldn’t ask for anything more. A+ experience and we would not hesitate to call him for any future jobs.

We have used Fred’s Lock 2 times now. He is so nice! His work is excellent.
The first time was when we were in Clayton and needed to add a high deadbolt since my little son was a let’s escape out the front door kind of kid.
The second time was when we moved to Oakley and needed to re-​key the whole place plus add a high deadbolt just to be on the safe side since we have another little one now.
Fred has always been professional, efficient, and his prices are good. I always recommend people to his business.

I was calling around for quotes and Fred was the first one to return my call. His prices were reasonable and he seemed very knowledgeable and trustworthy based on advice on locks. He arrived early and worked to make sure the locks were installed correctly and the other Door was keyed to match. Nice to chat with him and we were all set to go. Will call again if we need A locksmith. I might’ve consider the electronic locks since that seems to be pretty handy for the future.
No fumble with keys.

When my purse was stolen, I decided to get my locks changed for my own peace of mind. I chose Fred based on his Unilocal reviews. He squeezed me in within a few hours. He was quick, super friendly, and knowledgeable. I don’t know anything about keys or locks, but his prices seemed more than fair. I hope I don’t need him again, but would not hesitate to use him again if I do.

I could not be more satisfied from the job Fred did today re-​keying three locks. He returns calls, shows up on time, and is courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended!

Fred is the person to contact. He came out on short notice and quickly repaired a broken lock on our sliding glass door. The locking mechanism was very old, and Fred provided a quick and easy solution. He also looked at two other door lock issues and duplicated a key. He did all of this at an extremely reasonable rate while providing exceptional customer service. Very friendly and personable, quality service. Don’t look any further than Fred. We will definitely use his services again in the future.

The reviews just do not do Fred justice. He is polite, very knowledgable, arrived early for our appointment, and performed excellent work for a more than fair price. Thank you again for fixing my front door Fred! You have earned a loyal customer.

Fred is excellent. We replaced our front door lock and because of a change in brands had been told by other locksmiths that modifications to the door would be required. It sounded like a major job. Fred arrived early and made the switch with no problem or change to the door. He is professional, reasonably priced and very pleasant to do business with. We will refer him whenever possible.

Thank goodness Fred was available! Needed a bolt lock cut off my storage unit in a hurry. Happened to find Fred. He was the first to call back, was close and could come immediately even though it was after hours. Very professional, nice and knew what he was doing. His price was very reasonable compared to others. I would not hesitate calling him again.

Fred’s a really great guy to work with. His services are top notch and pricing is very competitive, hard for others to beat. I would definitely choose to work with him on a regular basis from now on. I had a very good experience with his quality, speed, professionalism and good sense of humor.

Fred is a class act providing excellent customer service. I’ve used his service twice at my home to re-​key the entire house and once at my business where he came out and made duplicate copies of our entire fleet of truck keys. He’s always on time, in high spirits and ready to get the job done!

I called Fred after looking at the reviews here on Unilocal,and looking at his history as a locksmith and was very happy with the services he provided for us.
We had a new keypad deadbolt that was too big for the existing hole in the door, and he came out within an hour of calling and had it swapped out within a very short period of time. Even showed us how it works so we didn’t have to muddle through the directions.
Very pleasant and easy to work with. Will definitely be calling him for anything else that comes up.

Fred is awesome. I locked myself out of my bedroom and felt really stupid about it. Called Fred in the morning and left a message, and he got back to me 2minutes after he opened. Was at my house within 45mins and managed to pick the lock on my door within about 4 – 5. Price was very reasonable, and I’ll be recommending him to anyone that gets in a pinch, but I hope I’ll never have to call him again!

I am a real estate broker and Fred has been my locksmith for about five years now. In the beginning he did all of our rekeys for our bank owned properties. He did some evictions for me as well.
I love to tease Fred that he is the quickest lock pick on the planet. His good humor, business acumen and skill is unmatched. He is a good honorable man who will go out of his way to help you out. One time he didn’t. It was his wife’s birthday. It wasn’t an emergency to we laughed and I reminded him «Happy wife, happy life». We laughed some more.
He just helped me out again today. I screwed up and locked myself out of one of my listings. Us realtors won’t tell you how often we really do this but I do it once a year. This was the first time I didn’t have a plan B to get into the house. Fred was done with one job and heading to another. He detoured, picked the lock, I grabbed the keys off of the counter and it was done and done.
Not only is he a skilled practitioner but he is a good man.
