Once again yelp has led me to such a great business! Bob was able to come out within 2 hours of me calling him. He expertly re-keyed 4 of my locks and threw in an extra set of keys, all within 30 minutes. Prices are beyond reasonable (a total of $60 for 4 locks and the 3 keys), he gladly showed me every step of the process, and even helped me to re-program my automatic garage door openers. He works hard for these 5 star yelp reviews, is extremely professional, and lives up to his business name of a better, cheaper locksmith! A wonderful gentleman to work with who I won't hesitate to do business with again. read more

Wow!!!! Never had such a great experience being locked out of my house! Super professional, fast and extremely nice! Bob is definitely the man!!!! He even made us 2 extra keys!!! I can't say enough nice things about Bob!!! And it was only $45. Great price and a nice guy! Hopefully we don't get locked out again, but if we do, I'm calling Bob! read more

So responsive! We bought a house and ran into trouble changing deadbolts as the door had been incorrectly bored and we were unable to complete the changeover. Bob came out within an hour on a Saturday and remedied the problem and then changed the locks on the other doors as well. He was wonderful to work with. The price was very reasonable - lower than the other quotes. We will definitely come to him for any future lock-related needs and recommend him to other wholeheartedly. read more

My husband & I just purchased a house and needed to re-key all our locks (6 in total). After checking out multiple Yelp reviews and websites, we decided to call A Better Cheaper Locksmith on Saturday afternoon, and easily scheduled an appointment for the next day! Both Bob and Brian showed up, on-time, were very friendly and professional, and completed the job in about 20 minutes. It's $45 for 3 locks w/ 2 free keys, so we paid $90 for 6 locks w/ 4 keys and feel like we got a bargain! I would highly recommend their services! read more

We used this locksmith at our business, The Dailey Method (a Pilates studio) in downtown Sacramento and were very pleased with his service. He gave us a free estimate, was very honest and thorough, and was punctual and professional. We will definitely be using him in the future and will refer to other friends and family. read more

My friends' house was broken into when they weren't home, so late on a Friday night, they decided to call a 24-hour locksmith to see if they could change the locks ASAP - that's how we found Bob! We called just as he was closing, and he offered to come to the house after hours. We decided to wait until the next day to change the locks, and he was able to slip us into his very busy schedule the following day. Bob is clearly an expert in his field - not only was he able to change the locks in the house efficiently, he kindly advised us on how to keep the house safe and secure, recommending several alarm systems and safety doors. Bob was able to explain what changes had been made to the doors and could even observe the poor jobs the prior locksmiths had done, which may have led to the break in. We would highly HIGHLY recommend calling Bob for your locksmith needs! Very smart and kind man! read more

So basically Rob forgot about my appointment and he admitted that it was his fault and it was unintentional. He offered the service free of charge and got me two additional spare keys. He seems professional and was able to unlock my door in less than 5 minutes. read more

I had to have my front lock repaired. Bob came out to my home and was able to put it back together quickly. Great service for a fair price! I will definitely call him again for any other lock/key issues. It is nice to deal with quality tradesmen who know their craft and charge you fairly. read more

Bob is awesome. He was professional, personable, and worked so quickly! I found him here on Yelp and have to agree with all the positive reviews. He even shared home security recommendations to make my home more secure. He went the extra mile and I am so glad I had my locks changed by him. It was so easy and reasonably priced. read more

I will highly recommend this company. The pricing is honest, fair, upfront, and very reasonable - no hidden fees or 'surprises'. Jason was quick, friendly, professional and very easy to work with, and he was able to do the work I needed done the same day I called. Great service! Don't look further - go to these guys - you won't regret it! read more

As everyone agrees, Bob at A Better Cheaper Locksmith is efficient, professional and a nice guy to boot. He arrived on schedule to rekey the 2 dozen or so locks on our new house in Hollywood Park (including some I didn't discover until the day he was here), and did it all in jig time, answering all our questions and providing lots of valuable lock advice along the way. I have to say that the best part is that all those locks lock clockwise and unlock counterclockwise, with the key in the same position always. Never had that experience before! I recommend him highly! read more

Bob was a complete professional. He quickly responded to my call, was able to go to my house the next day where he diagnosed and resolved our issue quickly and inexpensively. He is my go to locksmith from this day forward. read more

He was on time, reasonably priced, quick, professional, trustworthy and an overall nice guy. If you are looking for a locksmith, you should definitely hire Bob! read more

Bob came out quickly, re-keyed the locks on 5 different doors in about 1/2 hour. He was super friendly and got the job done for a great price. read more

So I needed some locks re-keyed and decided to call these guys because of all the great reviews. BIG MISTAKE! Of course I would be one of the few people who wouldn't have a good experience. I called yesterday to make an appointment for this morning. Everything was fine and I ended up getting a call that they could show up earlier because of a cancellation. Long story short Brian NEVER showed and NEVER called saying he was running late or had to cancelled. I even called him twice and he didn't answer. I called him again and left a message telling him I no longer needed his services. I definitely won't recommend "A Better Cheaper Locksmith". read more

I called. He answered. The job got done the same day. The price is what we agreed upon. Simple. Direct. Just an AWESOME experience. Makes me want to have more rental properties in Sacramento it was that easy. read more

I called one Wednesday in a panic that I couldn't find my mail box key and desperately needed to get in. I wasn't even home-- I needed the babysitter to be there to check the mail. Another locksmith had already missed their appointment. These guys set an appointment for later in the day, gave me a realistic quote for services, arrived on time, provided 3 keys, and texted me when complete. He even sent pictures. He was very sympathetic to my stress and that I was out of town during the entire debacle. Should I ever need a locksmith again (knock on wood), I'll turn to this place first. read more

Bob did an outstanding job!! Changed all the locks and rekeyed what we needed. I will use him again if we have the need!! Thank you Bob!!

Bob was very professional with impeccable service when I needed it most. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a reliable locksmith service! read more

Bob is a great guy with fast and cheap service. He actually had to reschedule on me at one point, so he ended up coming out and rekeying my house for free! I insisted on paying him but he wouldn't have it. He also fixed my door that was very sticky and hard to turn the key. He did all of this with a great attitude and I would 10/10 have him do any key work on my house. read more

What a great deal! I called, after purchasing a new house, to have the locks changed and made an appointment. The guy showed up - on time - and told me that I did not have to buy all new locks (whew!). He re-keyed eight locks, gave me free keys, and was so nice, polite, and knowledgeable - and all of that for a more-than-fair price. I think these guys are great, and you will too! read more

Bob is an excellent, friendly and a very reasonably priced locksmith. We needed our house rekeyed and he was at our home within 2 hours of calling him. We highly recommend him. Great guy! read more

Bought a new house, and make a call to change the locks. I wish everyone associated with the move was as great as Robert. Did great work, very informative, great about giving tips about home security. Wish I could give 6 stars ;) read more

Bob is friendly, professional, quick, and affordable. The only downside was that he was a little late to our appointment to re-key our new house, but traffic was honestly terrible. He made up for it tenfold with his kindness and professionalism. He also gave us some really great advice on beefing up our home security. He's the only locksmith I will use from now on! read more

Arrived early and re-keyed 8 locks on two houses very quickly. I was impressed with the quality of the service. I would definitely recommend A Better Cheaper Locksmith and will not hesitate to use them again. read more

Bob is truly one of the most honest and professional gentleman I've met. He's very knowledgable and provides the best customer service. I highly recommend him. BTW the pricing is very good also. Thank you Bob!!! read more

After stupidly locking my shed keys inside my shed, I found A Better Cheaper Locksmith in a routine google search. The first 2 locksmiths I contacted quoted me $110 and $135 to come out and cut my small masterlock. No thank you. I then called Bob at A Better Cheaper Locksmith and was THRILLED by his assistance. Not only did he keep it real with me (he flat out told me it would be cheaper to buy bolt cutters than have a locksmith come out), but he then offered his service at a cheaper rate. He told me he had a busy schedule ahead of him, but after telling him where I was located, he made time to swing by and cut my lock. He was in, out, and on his way in less than 10 minutes. Judging by all of the other reviews, I'm not the only one to have a professional, quick, affordable experience with Bob and A Better Cheaper Locksmith. Thanks a million Bob! read more

It was an emergency that we needed our house locks re-keyed right away on the New Year eve a couple days ago. Bob came to our house to re-key the locks after a friend of mine who is a customer of Bob got hold of him. Bob was extremely friendly and professionally re-keyed three locks and cut five keys for me in a very short time for an extremely reasonable price of $52.50. I tested all the keys on all the locks and every single key worked. Thank you Bob for your rescue. I have no hesitation recommending Bob to any one who needs house lock service. I will definitely use Bob's service in the future. read more

Brian was awesome. Called them last minute because I was having issues with my Front door. Was advised to go to Home Depot or Lowe's to get a replacement for certain part - He came and installed it quickly and reasonable price. Super honest & Friendly! read more

Great service. Roommate had his keys stolen and we were able to get someone out to re-key our house the next day. Very reasonable rates -- owner re-keyed five deadbolts for the price of four. we are very grateful to have our home be secure again. Thanks! read more

Bob is the most awesome locksmith ever! I would totally recommend him to everyone. His work, rate and customer service earn 10 stars from me! read more

Just had my keys replaced on a new house purchased. Honestly, you would be dumb choosing a different locksmith. Professional and affordable, reasonable and a pleasant person, I'm not really sure what else you could want in a locksmith. read more

Bryan came out very quick even though I gave him options for the day. He was very nice abs dog friendly. Fixed the door to my garage with the handle that was broken. (I tried to fix it and made it worse) read more

We had an immediate need to get our locks changed, after calling for 3 different locksmith quotes, I quickly realized Bob was the most affordable and offered the best customer service. He was fast and efficient. Professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend his services! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Bob for both a business and residential lock. Bob is extremely professional and provides mobile service that is first class. I would recommend Bob to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgable, price competitive and friendly locksmith. I look forward to working with him again for my business and residential needs. Thanks Bob!!!! Give him a call today!!!! read more

We were very happy with Bob. He is a really nice guy, His prices are very reasonable and he does a great job. We will definitely be using him as our Locksmith going forward. read more

My keys were stolen and wanted my locked changed ASAP. After seeing all of the positive reviews, I decided to give them a call. So glad I did!!! I left a message (Saturday around 4:45) and Jason promptly returned my call. He was just finishing up with another customer, and was able to head my way next. Jason was professional, fast and very affordable - great customer service! I support small business and would highly recommend them! read more

Had to have all the locks replaced in my house on short notice. Called on Friday, and Bob came out on Saturday. He charged us what he quoted over the phone (no hidden fees), did all the locks quickly, and gave us as many keys as we needed. He was very personable and professional. Highly recommend using this company read more

The best! They removed 6 locks, rekeyed them, and installed them back in about 20 minutes. They're also really nice people.

Bob came over and I showed him the locks that need to be rekeyed. When he saw that I have a brand new set of kwikset "smart" locks, he suggested that I take it back to Home Depot and get the standard locks to save money. He said he will come back and will charge me then. He gave me tips on locks and also talked about the neighborhood I just moved into. Finally I got the standard locks and I called bob and he came back the same day, rekeyed all the locks and even did one more additional lock for free. He was very nice and friendly. I highly recommend him. read more
