He was referred by our realtor and he is mobile. When he arrived initially the locks he got we changed our minds. He was patient and made sure we got what we wanted. He gave us options and explained the differences in the locks and we chose a brand he recommend. We also wanted them all to match and he was able to get them the day we moved all our items in. It was after 5:00 P.M. and he made sure he came and finished all our locks and doors so that we could feel safe in our new home. He was friendly, honest and is the owner, which we wanted to support local business. He is very knowledgeable in what he does, and we would definitely use him again not only for our house but cars as well. The price was fair for what we got. Support locally owned business.

Our elderly widowed neighbor died in January. Relatives from both sides are traveling from…read moreFairfield, LA & San Diego to empty the Carmel home, ready it for sale. A complicated mess. My husband, John, has been assisting with logistics, communication, & been the local contact for both sides. Today the LA relatives arrived, the housekey they'd been sent by the Fairfield relatives didn't work. The Fairfield relative called John [@ the gym] who asked "do you want me to get in the middle of this?" so, he contacted our contractor, Dave Allaire, who gave John Smokey Key Service's number. The technician was on his way to a job in Salinas, but stopped by the Carmel home to remedy the situation....nope, the key didn't work. so the tech [John called him Smokey, but he's deceased, was it Ronnie?] had John call the Fairfield relative [who was in the middle of getting chemotherapy!] to have her send a photo of the REAL housekey & the tech performed his magic & resolved the situation. Very pleasant, efficient, completely solved the problem. John wrote a great Google review. Here are my KUDOS to Smokey Key Service for solving a convoluted complicated mess in such a wonderful smooth manner. THANK YOU SO!
