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.

Their representative Adam was courteous and professional and did a great job installing our new architectural lock set

This is a great school!  My son was in an online class.  It taught a lot of theory and they even sent a tiny lock pick set.  But it was nothing compared to what he learned at the Arizona School of Locksmithing.  He came home excited about what he learned.  The hands on work he did each day was just what he loved.  He learned  SO much in two weeks!  It was a wonderful experience for him.  Low class numbers gave him a lot of one on one time with the instructor as well.  I highly recommend this school.

Jeff is the best locksmith b/c he doesn't care what time it is when you lock yourself out! Same price day or night. I'm saving him in my phone book, he's the only person I'm going to call in the future.
I don't understand the companies that close at 5pm... who wants to wait in their car overnight to get inside? Just call Jeff with Sparks Locksmith. Thank you Jeff!!

Swift, expert service and a reasonable price.

I needed a duplicate car key. I called Harmon's and was advised I would save money buying the key blank on line. I did so and brought the key blank to the shop. They cut the key, and programmed the embedded theft deterrent chip, all in about a half hour.

The programming required the technician to sit in my car and perform a sequence of command inputs with a programmer instrument. He did so without leaving any mess or changing my driver seat settings. Professional and courteous.

The staff at the downtown Mesa Ace Hardware referred me to Harmon's, a good recommendation and another vote of confidence in this business.

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

Very good. Was the fastest quote and lived up to it. Very reasonably priced. Very friendly and explained the process as it was happening. I can't say enough good things.

If you want quality and responsive work, Aaron is your guy!

I had an emergency situation at my home in Arizona and needed a locksmith scheduled within 24 hours to change out my door locks. Aaron was not only quick to respond via call/text he was super helpful in assisting me in picking out my new locks (while I was shopping at a Home Depot out-of-state).

Aaron showed up to my home on time the next day and also helped me reset my garage door as well as my own AC unit in the house (super helpful for me being a single woman, homeowner at this time).

Whilst he was changing out and installing locks, he completed educated me in what types of locks are actually installed in 90% of homes and what causes easy break-ins. I not only had quality service but I also got some important life knowledge to keep with me for future home purchases and builds.

Thanks again Aaron!

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

Just got off the phone with this company and he got frustrated when I asked for a price, basically hung up on me without saying goodbye. Customer service could use some fine tuning.

I called this company at 5:40am and left them a message to call me as soon as they were open that me and my dog were locked out of my house since shortly after midnight and it's been consistently over 95 degrees the whole time! They never returned my call and it's almost noon! Don't waste your time you will die of heat exhaustion before they return your call!

This company no longer does residential work.
I spent awhile contacting them before finally someone responded they're out of the residential business.
