Baker’s Lock & Key Service

We recently moved and had then come out to re key the whole house. The service guy was prompt courteous and asked questions about our needs before he started. He did the job quickly and explained a couple of things about our new kicks I would not have known.

Great shop
I have used them on 2 different occasions
Friendly staff and knowledgeable
Also had what I needed in stock
Ps…I had another company quote me $ 1300 to fix a door lock handle!!! BAKER WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME THE COMPLETE HANDLE KIT FOR ONLY $ 43
THESE GUYS ROCK!!!

Just bought a new house in Whittier and the previous owner had a different set of keys for every door to the house, and the garage. I bought new Schlage deadbolts and levers and brought them in to Bakers to have them rekeyed. There was no line in the store, and they were done in 10 – 15 minutes. Installed the hardware back at home and keys works perfectly.

Poor customer service… will charge for anything cheap bastards they are bunch of crooks the old guy should not cut keys

It’s 10am on a Tuesday and they have no one available for an emergency. Maybe they’re better if you PLAN your locksmith needs.

These guys (and gals) are awsome. My family and I have been using them for decades. The service techs are always polite and fair. The price charged has always been the price quoted. Except once but the tech let us know before he did the work. Today I needed a key for an antique curio and they gave me a hand full of keys to take back to the shop to see if any would work. Its not like they know me personally, it was a nice thing to do. I recommend them highly.

Thieves! Well, at least the locksmith that drilled out some dead pulls is. I asked the clerk at the counter what the charge is, «he said there is an hourly rate and no hidden fees.» Well, once the locksmith arrived, he moved like a turtle, «wait» that is too fast, he moved more like a slug. I knew he would move slow, because people being paid an hour at a time, typically try to milk the clock. When it was all over, the locksmith tacked on an added $ 105.00 bucks stating that there is an extra cost for drilling out deadbolts. «What the hell is the $ 30 hourly fee for then, moron.» I should have not paid him the hidden cost, but I didn’t want to head back to the office to extend the argument. In the end, I’m the moron for dealing with this place. NEVER AGAIN! And beware of hidden fees and a ridiculously expensive hourly rate from a fat slug.

We moved into a new house in Whittier and I called Baker’s to re-​key the locks. There were a lot of doors and a lot of separate locks. Chad came out within hours and stayed for several hours (and had to go back and forth to the shop as he encountered hurdles) He did a great job and was pleasant and professional. We took apart a door knob to paint and it was impossible to reassemble the know assembly. It was old school from the 40’s and had a bunch of odd parts that made it an unsolvable puzzle. I took the bag of components to their shop on Lambert and the owner (I think), Jerry, worked on it for nearly an hour and finally pieced it together. I don’t know how he did it! I asked what I owed him and he didn’t want to take any money. I finally insisted on giving him $ 10. Not so easy to find quality vendors with old school ethics. I’ll always use their service.

Charged a fair price for a couple of hard to find desk keys. Also the first time I’ve ever had keys cut that actually worked the first time they were cut.

Only well-​rated locksmith in Whittier. Didn’t have anyone to send to the house at 8:45am on a Tuesday. Disappointed.

I am new to the area and I just purchase a commercial bldg. I needed a locksmith to rekey my bldg. and install some door closers. I walked into Bakers Lock and set up an appointment. These guys were experienced and knowledgeable and they got the job done.

We have used Baker’s for all of our locksmith needs on a few different occasions and each time they were professional, courteous, their quote was accurate and fair and they completed quality work.
They do have a service charge based on where you live, but for the quality of work, it is worth it. We highly recommend them.

Howdy! This is my first Unilocal REVIEW (better late than never).
Here I go:
Welp, I was at the gas station trying to put in some gas when what do you know, my key must of broke off somewhere. Maybe I sat on it and broke it off, who knows? Anyways, the point is, I lost the key to my gas cap somewhere. Luckily, I looked up a few places and found that this was close by and received a good Unilocal review.
The woman who works there was real friendly and just a good gal. She was more than happy to assist me with my dilemma and didn’t take long to open my gas tank – she even gave me a good deal because it really wasn’t much work for her to open it.
I would go back for sure if I had problems again or if I needed another set of keys. Also, looks like they have some cool safes – if I actually had something valuable I would probably buy a safe there to put my gold, silver, or cat in (kidding about the cat). MEOW!

A friendly shop that sells decidedly unfriendly stuff– unfriendly if you’re a thief that is. Safes, locks, industrial strength deadbolts — good stuff. I stopped in to open an old family lockbox that nobody could get find the key to.
Baker’s gave me a choice of picking the lock or trying to cut a key from the lock number. I went with the key option and within a few minutes I had the box open, a new key and another nice Whittier business to add to my list.
