Really, who finds their locksmith off of Yelp? Let me tell you---great idea! Jeff went above and beyond to deal with my lock issue. (Including, coming back a second time, so that I could gather info before he added a lock.) And his prices were completely reasonable. Side note: He didn't know that he had a good yelp review out there and seemed quite touched by it. read more

Jeff is the Michael Jordan of locksmiths. He has masterful moves, super "lock-vision", and my hero. After my many agonizing trips to Home Depot to re-key the locks, Jeff obliterated the opposition (the lock?). It just took a phone call and he was at my house 30 minutes later. He was thorough, friendly and knew what he was doing. He takes cash, checks or credit cards and a "lock" for the locksmith Hall of Fame. read more

Jeff really doesn't need one more 5-star review, but here goes... I didn't even think about changing my locks until I've lived in my house for a few days and realizing other people might have those same keys. Not the most comforting thought. So I took a spin in Lowes whereupon I discovered that replacing my current good-looking locks will cost me 36 each...not the most affordable option. Plus there was one deadbolt I could not get off of the door without possibly destroying the door and/or my hands. Enter Jeff. I called him and he actually told me it would be cheaper for me to take the locks to the hardware store for rekeying. He actually wanted to save me money! But that option was closed to me since all my stuff was in the house. Jeff provided me an honest quote over the phone based on what I needed done, and came out that very evening. He was professional, courteous, and humorous at the same time so I never felt uncomfortable in the slightest. Not only did he provide me with rekeyed locks that were impossible to pick (his words), but he also tightened my door hinges and sanded down some parts so that all locks engaged smoothly. At no extra charge! The total bill was less than half of replacing all the locks myself. Jeff is my go-to guy if I ever need a locksmith again. read more

I had a situation where a break-in also took my spare set of keys to my whole house and pool house. Jeff was able to come out and change over everything the same day. He also did great work adjusting all my locks and doors to work properly. I don't forget people who do great work. Thanks Jeff read more

Jeff was so fast to respond and came over to my house as soon as he could at night when it was really cold out. He was very friendly and went above and beyond the job for the price quoted, fixing and tightening the locks to ensure my place was secure. I've never been more impressed with a locksmith and their service before. This guy has integrity and actually really cares. Can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Jeff, thank you so much for helping my friend get out of the front of her house! Both keys had been lost and you were a godsend in fitting all new keys and trying to figure out the most cost effective way to help. Recommended! read more

Absolutely amazed at the professionalism and promptness he showed. You don't need to look for another locksmith, Jeff is your guy. Very happy that we chose to call him for a locked side door we had. read more

I was very, very satisfied with the service and craftsmanship that I received from Jeff at A 1 Minute Key Service. He arrived on time and went above and beyond to accommodate my specific situation (he even delivered my new keys to me at my daughter's doctors office!!!). The prices are very reasonable and I look forward to referring him to clients, friends, family and fellow Yelpers. Good job Jeff and thank you A 1 Minute Key Service! read more

Great guys and an impressive shop. They cut my VW key and helped me program it. Had a good time and we all learned a thing or two. Thanks a lot for your time today! read more

As good and easy as it gets. After a recent construction/remodel project, I needed the house re-keyed. Jeff was great on the phone but better when he arrived. After being told for years that our front door could not have the same key as the rest...he said not true and made it happen. He also fixed some other door and lock issues he discovered free of charge. I don't need a locksmith often, but when I do, I'll only drink, I mean use, A1. read more

After recommending A1 Minute Key Service to a co-worker today, I found that I had incorrectly posted my review last July to A1 Locksmith Service instead of A1 Minute Key Service! My apologies. I have since deleted the review I put there and wanted to make sure this got to the right place. Side note: apparently there are Jeff's a both places, but this is the RIGHT Jeff! My review from July 2011..... Jeff was great! I called in the afternoon and he was able to come out and meet me at my house that evening at 6:30 with no extra charge! He changed all of the locks in my house and even changed out a handle to make it match the rest. Would definitely recommend! read more

I found Jeff on Yelp. I closed escrow on my house on Friday, and moved in on a Saturday. My agent recommended I have the locks changed on the doors, since we didn't know who had access to the keys so I called Jeff on Thursday, 1 day before closing. He explained to me it is $10 a cylinder, and that he would tell me how many cylinders I had so I would know the exact price. Jeff came on time in the window I requested with his Son and another gentleman. They were practically running they moved so fast. They fixed the locks, cut me 5 new keys and charged me within 15 minutes. The price was very reasonable. I will def call Jeff if I need another locksmith. . read more

Jeff rocks! He re-keyed our whole house (same day service) and adjusted our doors that weren't latching. The fees were super reasonable. Jeff is a very professional and nice man. A+!!! We highly recommend him. read more

Called Jeff to come out and rekey my locks. I had smart keys on all the locks so he helped me with the first couple and then let me do the rest. Great learning experience. Gave a quote over the phone that I was comfortable paying, and came in under that quote when he arrived and delivered service. Jeff is a stand up guy and I would recommend him to anybody in the Valley. read more

Thank you fellow Yelpers for not failing me. I just moved into a house and wanted to get all the locks changed. I called a locksmith that my realtor suggested and that guy couldn't even make an appointment. As he put it "Wednesday is too early to make an appointment for Friday. Call me Friday and I'll let you know if I can come out." Eff that! So I jump on Yelp search for locksmith and find the great reviews for Jeff. My husband called Jeff on Thursday and he gladly made an appointment for 8am on Friday. Jeff showed up on time and gave me my options and he got straight to work. He is a friendly guy and only charged $105 to change out four locks. I found his professionalism, friendliness and prices to be awesome! If I ever need a locksmith again I would call Jeff. read more

Jeff did an excellent job and was very friendly and helpful during the entire process. He went above and beyond what I would expect and his price was more than reasonable. I would recommend his service to anyone. read more

Jeff is a top-notch guy with top-notch services! I somehow managed to lock myself out of my apartment tonight, without my phone, and without a shirt... luckily I had pants on! Long story short I have a security bar on my patio glass door and it fell back into position when I was outside... Anyway, with the help of an awesome neighbor, I was able to get on Yelp and get a hold of A 1 Minute Key Service. Other places wanted to charge me $90+. What a buncha crap. Jeff was busy at another job but took care of me and gave me an A+ price. He even had to drill out my lock (it was a wafer lock) and still charged me a very decent price, including the cost of a new lock. Good man. read more

Absolutely excellent service! I highly recommend. Jeff showed up when he said he would (actually he was 10 min early) and went right to work rekeying all of my locks. He was fast, friendly, professional, and his prices were fair. What I really appreciated (and what I think went above and beyond the call of duty for him), was that he noticed my back door was sticking and it made the door hard to lock. I had to slam it (really hard) in order to be able to lock it. He noticed this and asked me if I wanted him to fix it for me (YAYYYYYYY!!!) of course I did!! (I have no fix it skills) I had this evil sticking door for a very long time and he fixed it in about 10 minutes. He didn't charge me extra to do this, he just noticed it needed to be done and he did it. Freaking awesome! He has a 10% discount deal on yelp if I mentioned that I saw him on yelp. There was no way I was going to ask for or bring up a 10% discount after he fixed that back door but he asked me where I heard of him and I told him yelp. He said you get a 10% discount. I said that wasn't necessary but he gave it to me anyway. You can tell when someone takes pride in what they do and this guy is the real deal. read more

My husband's car weirdly locked the doors with the engine running and I called A-1 minute Key service. Eric was at our house in less than 10 minutes and had our door open on in 1! They weren't kidding with the name... 1-minute Key service. They also make keys, which we will be doing tomorrow, at their shop. Whew! You saved the day! read more

I recently purchased a foreclosed home and wanted to make sure all the locks were changed. I called Jeff last Thursday to see if he could swing by on Saturday while I was moving in. I thought He would have no problem re-keying about 10 locks. Of course none of the locks were of the standard variety and Jeff had to put a lot more time in than he planned. If you need help with locks, Jeff is the guy! He's very personable, knows his business and does quality work! Thanks for your help Jeff. read more

Got locked out of my house on a Sunday afternoon in June - so needless to say, it was 110 degrees out. I called and spoke with the owner who informed me he would call one of his guys and get back to me ASAP. I received a call within 2 minutes and was quoted approx 30 mins until arrival, and $85 cash to unlock the door. Craig was out locksmith. Very polite and professional. We were back in our house in no time! I didn't take the time to shop around for prices so I'm not sure if they have the best deals or not, but the ease and quickness of service made it worth while! read more

I waited way too long to write this review. I bought a house near downtown in January and locked myself out upon move in. Jeff came out super quickly, was awesome to work with, and very reasonably priced. In fact, I used him to rekey my entire house. He came back out with his son on time, was awesome, and gave me a cash discount Fast forward 7 months and my boyfriend locks himself out of his townhome (also upon move in). He calls Jeff, who informs him that there's not much he can do (as it was a lock that only locks from the inside) but gave him some recommendations on how to get into his garage and said that he could come by if that didn't work (on a Sunday BTW). Net-we were able to get into the garage and all was well. Jeff could have made some $ off of us, but gave us a great recommendation. HIGHLY recommend. read more

We had a dead bolt lock that was locked shut and the key would not open it. I called at nine, Mike was over by ten and quickly and efficiently fixed the lock without having to replace it. He was polite and smart and really knew what he was doing. I was so pleased with such wonderful service. I highly recommend and could not have been better. read more

Great customer service!! Friendly explained all charges when I called to set up the appt. I was rekeying my house he was able to meet me that day and called to let me know he'd be a little late. After I lost my receipt called Jeff and he emailed it to me. I would definitely recommend and call him in the future!! Thx Jeff read more

I needed new keys for my front security door. In addition, both my front and back doors were uneven due to heat/warp. I went to Yelp. I first called a business that's since closed. Then I called A1. Jeff was busy, but took my number and called me back within a half-hour. Since I wasn't in an emergency situation, he came the next day. As promised, he called a 1/2 hour before arrival. He charged me exactly what he told me to expect and the work was excellent. I highly recommend this business. read more

I lost our key set to our Thule roof top car cargo box and A1 was able to rekey it. Jeff was even kind enough to come out to my car since I had my son with me. Thank you so much for the quick service! read more

My husband and I just purchased our home and the very first thing we did was to rekeying or changing the lock. We found Jeff from A 1 Minute Key Service and he came within 2 days to do the job. He was very professional and honest; he reduced the fee due to miscommunication on our location. Jeff and mike, his son, rekeyed 5 locks, put in a new one and make us copies for the keys. They completed the job less than 2 hours. Jeff was able to 'combine' and reduce 4 different sets up keys into 2. The price was very reasonable. We are very satisfy with the customer service and definitely recommend A 1 Minute Key Service. read more

Holy amazing service. Jeff met me at two different condos on opposite sides of town within 30 minutes of speaking with him. I'll never use anyone else. read more

Absolutely, "woo-hoo, as good as it gets," but Jeff deserves more than five stars--I'd say no fewer than 10. He saved us a good chunk of money, completed the work like a true perfectionist who places the highest value on customer service and satisfaction, and made me laugh. Really, it doesn't get better than that. We needed a keyed lock installed on an old Arcadia door, and other locksmiths I spoke with gave me the impression that our only option was replacing the existing handset. Jeff, however, said he'd have to see the door before he could recommend a solution. Well, he looked at it and said that all we needed was a keyed cylinder added to the existing handset, saving us money on both time and materials. Even though the retrofit, because of the door's age and the condition of the door frame and track, took longer than he'd originally estimated, Jeff didn't charge more and worked through the challenges patiently and persistently and with good humor, and he taught me everything about the door and the lock that he could along the way. The new keyed lock looks and works great--and I now know how to clean an Arcadia door's track. More and even bigger thanks to you, Jeff! And thank you to all of the previous Yelpers for making me aware of A1 Minute Key Service. We have found our locksmith (woo-hoo, indeed)! read more

Had Jeff come out to make me some extra house keys, and while he was here, he cleaned up and lubricated the lock, and also straightened up the door hinge. All for $20! The customer service and quality cannot be beat! Thanks, Jeff! read more

Called Jeff after locking my keys in the car at church . Super friendly, easy service, knowledgable about his trade. Jeff was to us in under 25 minutes and had us in our car within 3 minutes of arrival. In the future I'll make sure my first call is to Jeff (hopefully I don't need to ). 10/10 recommend this amazing company read more

Jeff is a nice person. I called him to get a quote for a old arrow deadbolt removal, the kind that has hidden screws. I told him as new struggling homeowner I did not have a lot of extra cash. Not only did he offer a great discount to do the work but he walked me through the process of removing it, FOR FREE, over the phone. I was then able to break the lock off myself, saving me money!! Needless to say, next time I need any kind of locksmith work done, it will be Jeff that I call. Today he made a loyal customer. read more

Jeff was professional and courteous when scheduling my appointment....and was VERY accommodating when he rescheduled my appointment for later that afternoon. He arrived on time and rekeyed the locks to my house. He even took extra time to give me advice on how to replace the garage door openers that were missing. I would highly recommend Jeff and A1 Minute Key Service. Just when you thought customer service was dead, you get a great experience like this. Thanks, Jeff! read more

I needed to re-key my entire house, so I looked on Yelp for recommendations. Jeff had so many great reviews that I gave him a call. Not only was he very courteous over the phone, he also gave me advice on what to ask other locksmiths should I decide to get quotes elsewhere. Called him at night and he was out first thing the next morning. 13 locks later, I couldn't be happier! Price was great and service was totally excellent!! There are not enough good things I could say about him or his service! He even fixed the doors where the locks did not run smoothly in and out. He is very knowledgeable and takes great pride in what he does. I have recommended him to anyone I know needing his services and he will be the first person I call should I need them again. Thank you so much!! read more

Friendly on the phone, friendly in person, ultra quick and honest service for an interior, residential jammed lock!

We received great service. Our locksmith was on-time and professional. New keys and locks for the entire house.

I would highly recommend Jeff of A-1 Minute Key Service. After finding him on Yelp, I hired him to change my locks after tenants moved out of my property. Jeff suggested that instead of replacing the locks, he could re-key them instead. This would have the same effect on safety without the added cost of brand new locks. In addition, Jeff met me at 6pm which was very accomodating of my work schedule. read more

very pleased with the quick, friendly and reasonably priced work that Jeff did rekeying our front door. He was able to do the work within 2 hours of my call even though I was not in a hurry. We had an unusual key so he changed out the lock for a more common version. Jeff was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. I will call on him ahain. read more

We were locked out of our car and needed to use it asap for a road trip. A1 showed up quickly and worked efficiently and took care of our needs. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to others read more

A 1 Minute Key Service is 5 star all the way! We recently moved and wanted all our door locks at the house to have 1 key. Jeff came out the day after I reached out and he was awesome. He was personal, professional, and did a great job. Everything was completed in a short period of time for a great price. We highly recommend A 1 Minute Key Service! read more
