Locks

Diego came out to our home on a Sunday, fathers day, to help us get re-​keyed after losing our home key. He greeted us by name and had the most positive energy when he walked in the door. He was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Rekeyed three doors for $ 120 dollars. Such an honest, hard working and loving guy! We highly highly recommend! :)

I had a crazy day and needed to get my apt key copied before the evening. I called at 4:57 pm asking what time they closed. He said 5 pm and I said thank you, but I needed to find a place open later. He told me if I was in the neighborhood, he would wait until 5:10 for me to get there! I arrived at 5:10, and got my keys made in under 2 minutes. They saved me time, energy, and effort… that’s priceless!

I was robbed – wallet and keys stolen from backpack. I needed keys made because this put me down to my last set. This business brought back a little bit of faith in humanity after a traumatizing incident. $ 10 copied my 2006 Yamaha V-​Star 650 motorcycle key and all my apartment keys in under 3 minutes, and gave me nice new rings for them. They can copy double sided keys and have a wide selection of auto/​other special keys.

This can be a excellent shop along with a excellent professional locksmith services. They set up a brand new locking mechanism for me personally once i relocated to my new condominium, and had been extremely fast and expert. I Then visited the shop to reduce secrets, and today I quit in at least two times per week for issues i require. The employees is pleasant and keep in mind their clients. This type of great vary from lots of locations. And my locking mechanism is beautiful and can make me really feel secure. Contact their professional locksmith visit and service their shop. You won’t be sorry!

What an honest, helpful locksmith. I came here to copy my apartment keys and he was warm and timely and has a sign up that asks customers to please not ask him to copy keys that say «do not copy». He doesn’t want to be put in that position of choosing between lawfulness and customer service. I thought that was such a clever, kind way to address the problem. Easy location with parking lot. Will be back as soon as I inevitably lose my keys and need copies made again.

Awesome! Took litterally 10 seconds to make my keys and gave me a free key ring. Kinda hard to find. In corner next to a mexican resturant and chinese food.

Excellent service. I walked up to the door and it was locked as i was walking away the man working there ran out of the restaurant next door and unlocked the door. I had 3 keys made and i was in there less than 5 minutes. I think i might have interrupted his lunch. And my keys work. I was worried they wouldn’t because he was so fast but they are all totally fine.

Super fast/​professional. Very pleased. I got there right when they were supposed to open and they didn’t come for about 20 minutes, though, but I didn’t mind waiting. Just FYI.

Came to my apartment when I locked my keys inside, made a copy in the driveway and the whole process was done in 30 minutes. Life saver!

Diego was super fast and professional. We had our home rekeyed and he came exactly on time and was done within 15 minutes. The price was reasonable too. I highly recommend!

Customer service is excellent and the service is really fast. I just spent 5 minutes there and got 3 keys, as awesome as this is.

Diego has perfected his craft with professional grade quality and timely efficiency. I needed to duplicate a regular house key, went in, handed over my key and was in and out in less than minute. It’s Located within a small strip mall that also houses a 7 Eleven. The hours are as followed: M-​F 9am-​6pm. Saturday 10am-​3pm. Sundays are closed. Credit cards are accepted for transactions over $ 10. Keep in mind that it’s a small strip mall and parking is very limited.
I recommend Diego for all your locksmith needs.

We used Locks Etc in the past & found them to be cheap, professional, & efficient. So today when our 2-​year old son locked himself in his room, i didn’t hesitate to call. They quickly sent over Hugo who was very nice, professional, & quick. However, unlike before when their rates were very reasonable, this time I feel gouged.
I made the mistake of telling the boss that my 2-​year old kid was locked in his room, so I feel like he used that to charge me more ($ 70) than would otherwise be appropriate for the 30 seconds Hugo took to open the door, needing just a small flathead screwdriver (no lock-​picking or any special skills required, other than recognizing the need for the small screwdriver).
Maybe it was a reasonable fee but it definitely feels to me like he took advantage of my situation to charge me an excessive amount. Consequently, i will definitely NOT be using them again nor would i recommend them to others.
I apologize to Locks Etc if the $ 70 charge was reasonable but again, it felt like I was being very much taken advantage of.
Despite this unkind review, I would like to acknowledge Hugo for his quickness arriving at our home, his professionalism, & for showing me how I can open these locks again if needed in the future, which, of course w a 2-​year old, is inevitable. Fortunately now knowing how to unlock these locks, we don’t need to rush out to replace a home full of locks/​knobs, so thank you to Hugo for his quality work & great customer service. Too bad his boss made him look bad by overcharging us.

Great service by friendly and knowledgeable folks with the best price found. They replaced my car key (chip key with programming required) for half of some shops and one-​third of the dealer’s price.
Located on the Westside near Culver City made it easy to cruise over.
Good find.

MashAllah! Impressive; the service was fast, friendly and informative. I actually learned something. This man has realistic & affordable prices.

In the past I’d gone to Home Depot to have my keys copied, because I usually enjoy wandering around giant warehouse stores to browse. But if you’ve been to Home Depot to get keys copied you know how hard it can be sometimes to get an employee to help you. I tried out A Locksmith Locks, Etc. because it’s on my way to work and I’ve been going there ever since. My first visit, I handed them my key and reached for my wallet and they literally finished the copy before I’d gotten my cash out. That has never happened at one of the big chain stores for anything. For anyone. Ever.

We lost the key to our mailbox and even after searching high and low, the God of Lost Things wasn’t giving it up. Happily, Diego could come out and replace the lock super-​quick. Fast, friendly, awesome!

Diego is a top-​notch locksmith who has been in the trade since the 1970s and you can tell by the fact that he can strip a lock in 4 seconds flat… with his tongue alone.
When my locks need to be replaced or serviced, whenever I need a key, I trust Diego and only Diego. He’s a great guy, he’s skilled, he’s fair. The best locksmith on the Westside.

Last night I took my key off my keychain with me when I went for a run around the neighborhood. I left the apartment later that night to goto my girlfriend’s house, with my keychain in pocket, as always. Only this time I forgot to put my ket back on the keychain. This morning around 8:30am I realized I could not get back into my place to get ready for work.
I first called this place because it was the first locksmith I saw on Unilocal in my area, but it was not open yet. I proceeded to call other places that began quoting me at $ 75, which seems absurd, as my door is a simple handle lock, and I knew it would take 20 seconds to open for a locksmith.
At 9am I got a call from Diego saying he saw a missed call from this number. I told him my story and that I was in the area. I also told him that I was quoted too high, and was instead going to wait for my landlord to come out later today, since I had my laptop in my car, and didn’t NEED to get in right away. He saw an opportunity and offered to send his guy out for $ 50. Sold. Hugo came out within 10 – 15 minutes, was friendly, and opened the door as expected in less than 20 seconds.
Hope I don’t have to use them again, but if I do lock myself out I will be calling Diego back.

This place is convenient and cheap. $ 3 bucks to cut an xtra key for my husbands motorcycle. Sounds like a deal to me. Parking is a little hard so if you can park on the street it would save some time.

I’m not sure what else there is to say about this place, except that it cost me $ 2 (cash only) to get a replacement key to my apartment.
I lost my key and had to find a quick and affordable place to go. And well, this was it!
Don’t expect a full-​on customer service/​over the counter experience, but you will get in and out of the place pretty quickly.
I asked for 2 copies for my key and it came out to $ 4. The parking lot is small, but it’s still doable to find space. The business shop is located in this small corner of the plaza sandwiched between the restaurant businesses. There’s no place you can sit down or relax, so if there’s a small line that forms (which there was when I went), you’ll just be standing outside for some time.
The keys work great so I have no complaints about this place!

Unilocal INSIDER TIP FROM DOREEN (AKA AZN PERSUASION): Fast and friendly service in a strip mall with a 7 – 11, photo store, and some eateries.

Over the years, I’ve only had to come here once or twice to get keys copied. It’s $ 2 a key for a house key. The business is SMALL. It is the size of a closet or handicap bathroom. It’s tucked into the corner so it might be hard to miss. Free parking in the strip mall. Usually there is no wait. They also sell key accessories and different types of decorated keys.

I needed a couple of keys copied, and the guy literally finished both in under a minute. They have tons of keys with printed designs on them, i.e. sports teams, cartoons, AND… HELLO KITTY! I splurged and chose a Hello Kitty key and a regular key.
In and out of there in 2 minutes, and keys worked perfectly!

Knight in white van to the rescue! Locked yourself out of your house? No keys to your car? No wallet to take a taxi anywhere to get help? Call A Locksmith Locks!
I called an 888 referrals service who didn’t understand me, had to refer me to someone without giving me a clear estimate of the time and cost of an ER visit to my home. So, I called Locksmith Locks in Culver City.
Diego answered the phone quickly this morning, he was clear about the fees and that it was a $ 5 charge for credit cards (he does take them). He was professional, arrived in the quoted time, and quickly was able to get me back inside my house where I left my purse, wallet, keys, etc.
He also checked my photo ID to make sure I wasn’t using him to rob my own humble home with nothing worth stealing in it except my heart. :)
15 minutes after he left, the other 888 company sent out someone without having spoken to me nor giving me a quote. Ugh!
Thank God I found Locksmith Locks, Etc.
Thank you Diego!!!
