Best Locksmiths in United States

Horrible. We lost our Prius keys and called Diamondback Lock and Key. The dispatch said the cost will be at around $150. I thought it was a great deal since other places were quoting me around $300.

I fully explained with dispatch that we need a new key made and told them our car's model year and we needed the smart key that unlocks the door when you are close to the car. This is enough information to give us a detailed quote. They never clarified that was the $150 quote was a base price.

When the locksmith showed up, he quoted me $100 OVER the Toyota car dealership - almost $400! I was frustrated because that was a large jump from the $150 quote. The dealership quote was around $325.

He said that a new key itself costs $150. After a bit of haggling he was able to do the job a few dollars lower than the dealership price. And said it would take about 45 minutes.....

FIVE HOURS later and after calling for help, he was only able to program the FOB to start the car and created a metal key to unlock and lock the car. He said we will come back tomorrow and we agreed that I pay $200.

I was ok with all of this because it was getting the work done and getting late. I did question him why something like this would take so long. He said each car is different even though he has the Toyota software.

At this point, it was dark and since the I could get into and start the car I was fine with him coming tomorrow to finish the work.

When I got back home, I took a look at the FOB and I got ANGRY along with the issues below after I drove the car:

1. He triggered the after market alarm that is now always blinking blue and needs to be taken to a dealer to get that fixed.

2. The FOB was NOT NEW. It was a used banged up FOB. (I was furious about this! Since he gave me grief how a new FOB is $150 and we paid close to the dealer's quote to get this job done

3. The headlights and backlights sometimes works. We think he shorted the circuits, thus why the car alarm is now blinking blue and now this issue.

4. He bent the car's door so badly that it sounds like the door is open when you drive. You can hear the road and gravel. For a locksmith that shows a poor set of skills that you cannot open a Prius without bending the door's frame. Seems like amature hour.

Because of this company we had to:

1. Take it to the Toyota dealer who said the FOB was an old one and NOT the right model for this car.

2. The dealership said we can bend back the door and see if it that helps. Thankfully it did.

3. We will need to take the car to a car alarm dealer to fix the blinking blue light.

4. And we still need to figure out about the back lights and headlights.

We called the company TWICE asking to speak to the owner. He never called back. I wonder why????

They jacked up our car and I hold them responsible for:

1. The time we lost in taking it to the dealer to get it fixed
2. Selling us a USED and the WRONG FOB for the car
3. Not returning our phone calls
4. Screwing up the circuits which may cost a significant amount to fix which they should pay for.

We filed a chargeback with the credit card company and will be filing a complaint with the BBB.

Stay away from this company. They cannot own up to their mistakes.

I dropped by Anderson Lock and Safe with an old double cylinder deadbolt that I wanted to rekey.  The gentleman that helped me said my lock is very old and needed a special key to do a rekey.  He was able to locate the special (blue) key and complete the rekeys at a reasonable price.  I recommend Anderson Lock and Safe highly for your locksmithing needs!

Excelent teacher, he showed me all the basics to start my locksmith business , always available to answer my calls with questions, I truly recommend this school for a start in locksmith.

Jeff is fantastic! Prices are extremely fair and he is quick to get to the job. He helped me open a cash box one night after I was closing my store. I have been recommending him to all my friends and family. Save his number in your phone in case you ever have an emergency that way you don't end up paying a crazy amount of money with someone else in a pinch. I will continue to use Jeff's services as long as he's in business.

The team at Harmons is awesome to work with. They are super knowledgeable and they have re-keyed dozens of locks for me. One time I was out of town and one of my tenants lost their key and I had the spare with me. I was able to take a picture and send it over to Harmons and they made a copy of the key that worked perfectly. These guys are my go to for anything lock related.

Ron was great. Showed up on time, and completed all the work quickly & correctly. I will definitely use him whenever I need a locksmith.

Had a great exsperence renting my storage uni at Security plus Self storage  they were convenent off 30th ave and grand and the mangers were very helpful

aka Flat Rate Locksmith... Excellent business!  Jacob arrived on time to re-key our new home.  We love when workers show up on time, are knowledgeable, professional and have a great sense of humor... Jacob tic'd all those boxes.

From calling for an appointment to the job being done and processing payment, all was excellent and cost was reasonable.  Highly recommend this business without hesitation.

Aaron worked quickly and efficiently, he had 3 sets of locks to install.
Very professional.  I would refer Aaron to anyone.

Very helpful. The service man was knowledgeable.  Very polite .I would definitely call them if this happens again.

I had a couple of keys made, routine simple padlock keys.  One of them was hanging up a bit in the lock, so I took it back and asked for a replacement.  The man there that day refused to believe that the key was hanging up, and that the original was not, and he was refusing to make a replacement key.  I politely persisted, which made him angry, so after harrassing me about it, he finally made me a key out of a key blank with notches -- some kind of reject or second and tossed it at me.  

I had rental property for 20 years, so I have had occasion to have hundreds and hundreds of keys made.  My experience is if I take a key back to a locksmith and tell him it's hanging up and ask for a replacement, they make a replacement, no questions asked.  I have also been in retail all my life, and I would never think of treating a customer the way he treated me.  The guy there that day was rude, condescending, arrogant, and demeaning.  He should NOT be interacting with the public.  I won't ever be patronizing this place of business again.  NOT recommended.

If there were TEN STARS i would give it.  I was referred to Scott by another company because of where we lived and i was not disappointed.  I was out of state and wife and children were at home when our house was broken into.  Scott and his wife came out as soon as they could and began to switch out our locks.  They were extremely professional and made my wife feel at ease with what they were doing.  They went ABOVE and BEYOND to fix some minor problems with our door knobs and made sure my wife was comfortable before they left.  I would recommend them to anyone WITHOUT HESITATION.  I cannot express my gratitude for their service and above all being personable and human in a situation that was very traumatic for my family.

I called yesterday afternoon for a house rekey and this morning Robert arrived 15 minutes early.  He was nice and worked quickly to change out 14 locks. My crazy house (kids and dogs) didn't phase him one bit. I would absolutely recommend them and should the need ever arise again, they will be my first call!
