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

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

The door handle latch on my front door was sticking, so I went out and bought a new latch with a lock on it and a new matching deadbolt, so I'd have 2 locks on my front door instead of just the one deadbolt. Bob was able to come out the same day I called. He said he could install the new set, but he knew that brand would start to give me trouble (hard to say how long it would take - he also knew how much I paid for it!) because the technology was so new. I decided to have him repair the latch instead. I mentioned hearing that robbers "bumped" door locks, so he added a few special pins to my lock that would make bumping it open more difficult. I also wanted a deadbolt installed on a door between the garage and yard which never had a deadbolt. He told me that a deadbolt wouldn't be enough security. Why? Because the garbage cans are on the other side of the door and the neighbors would just think I was tossing the trash into the garbage cans and wouldn't notice the sound of my door being kicked in as anything out of the ordinary. He suggested I purchase two L brackets (at Home Depot, they are called Zinc-Plated Solid Door Stop) and a 2x4 as a better and cheaper means of security. He said he saw a video of police trying to break into a house that was protected like that and it took them quite awhile. I decided to go that route. I also had a bedroom doorknob that Bob took a look at it and fixed for free. I mentioned that I was trying to change the code on the garage door opener/remote, but nothing was happening. I thought maybe the battery in the remote might be dead. Bob checked it out and confirmed it for me. Bob charged me $60 for re-keying 4 locks, handed me 4 keys, and gave me good advice. He tries to save the customer's money as I had purchased new doorknobs and deadbolts for him to install, but he told me to return them. He said my old ones were still good, scratched up from wear and tear, but still good. 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

Easy peasy! Called early in the AM, left a voicemail and my call was returned in less than 10 min. Bob came out in a timely manner and changed all the locks to my house. Fast, easy, and great price! Would recommend. read more

I just moved so changing locks is something you have to do. I call and Bob was pleasant on the Phone and came right over. The job for 3 locks was done quickly and painless, including the cost! Thanks Yelpers read more

Bob was great. He quickly changed the locks on my new condo. He is the best price in town (and I researched extensively before choosing him). You can find cheaper advertisements that are scams (not licensed and charge you more then they quote when they get your place). I'm especially frugal, but I like quality work. Bob met both of my expectations. Bob also offered a lot of FREE advice while he changed the locks. read more

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

I was out of town and my friend was housesitting and got locked out while I was out of town. I have an older home. I had called SBS Locksmith the day before (which I found on Google) and they were completely unable to open any door, then collected $40 from my friend. The next day, my housesitting friend called Bob from A Better Cheaper Locksmith and he was able to open the door no problem. Outstanding service and very reasonably priced. Not all locksmiths are created equally--what a difference! A++ 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

Great, friendly, fast, & professional service. They arrived right on time, explained everything that was happening and even gave an extra set of keys on the house. I recommend them completely and would use again if needed. Very pleased with service. 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

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

I found Bob on Yelp just yesterday. Let me say, he has definitely earned all these 5-star reviews! He's very professional and friendly, and less expensive that the others I checked out. Great experience! read more

He was quick and painless and actually gave us some advise that saved us over 100 dollars. He also showed us how to program our garage doors and gave us advise on where to get better products. All in all he was very helpful and I would recommend him to my friends and family in need of an honest locksmith. 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

No problems at all when I called for emergency assistance an hour ago. The guy who answered had a "can-do" attitude, was courteous, and charged a very fair rate of $45.00. I'd call them again, pretty easy to work with. read more

Bob was fantastic!!! Came out very quickly and was very affordable. He was very helpful when I had questions! I will definitely use and or refer him in the future!! read more

I commute about an hour to work and like a dummy, left my house keys in my desk drawer. I called and Bob unlocked my door in about 15 seconds! He's an absolute lifesaver. Hopefully I don't make a habit of locking myself out of the house, but I would definitely use them again if needed. read more

I recently had Bob come out to re-key the doors to my new business. Bob was extremely friendly over the phone and was willing to come out for same day service. He did a great job on replacing the locks and also replaced an old latch that I had on my door. His prices are very reasonable (I called three other places). He's personable, professional and I would highly recommend him to others in need of a good locksmith! read more

Bob was the BIGGEST help! I couldn't have been more pleased with his service! He was able to unlock the door in a matter of seconds! I recommend him to anyone! Also, he is the nicest man ! Thank you again for all of your help ! read more

I will definitely call them again if I ever need a locksmith. Good people...Good Business....Good Service!

I called Bob and he asked what I needed. I told him that I wanted my locks on my condo changed because my landlord didn't change them between tenants and the previous tenant was evicted or ditched the place. He asked when I would like him to come out and I said the sooner the better. He told me he would finish lunch and come right out so that I can feel safe. He was very pleasant, personable, professional and quick! The price was right and I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a locksmith!. read more

A Better came to my aide when I had a mechanics lock box stolen from a listed property and it had the only key to it inside as the listing agent from another company had forgotten to make a spare key. A Better came promptly and picked the lock so I could get into the property and install new locks. I will definitely call them and use them again. read more

Bob returned my call, gave me a fair price, did quality work and actually billed me for the amount he quoted. A service technician who believes in customer service. So glad I found him here on Yelp. I definitely use him again and refer him to family and friends. read more

I am an existing customer of Robert and will continue to use him in the future as my locksmith. Today just proved how much of a professional, caring and compassionate man he is. He went out of his way to make sure that I was safe in my home today after experiencing a scary incident. Thank you so much for taking your time to ensure my safety and for the tips you gave on how else to stay safe. 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

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

Thank you to Bob- He recently re-keyed our brand new home. He was helpful, efficient, and kept in communication with us the day of the appointment. He also tested every key before leaving. When we didn't have a key for a random lock he gave us great options instead of trying to overcharge. We will keep Bob in mind the next time we need something done, and you should too! Thank you Bob! read more

This company has it all from the top down. Owner Bob is amazing with customer service along with all of his employees. I was taken aback by just how well I was treated by Bob and two other employees. They were effective, courteous, and quick. On time, and the quality of work was nothing less than perfect. Bob and his company's work ethic, craftsmanship and customer service have gained a customer for life. It would be a dream come true if any other contractor performs like his team. And we all know that most contractors quite frankly suck. Kudos Bob, you have an exceptional real business that you built by hand, do what you say you will do, and it's no mystery why you are ranked number one locksmith on Yelp. And Yelp can be brutal. Thanks again for the emergency rekeying of my apt. We will meet again. All my best to you and yours buddy. A+++++ read more

A Better Cheaper Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

See all

Exactly like Davis Wiki said. Robert came out and changed our locks. He barely charged us, added in free information and rekeyed the locks above and beyond what was the bare minimum. A lot of locksmiths have to be told specifically the level of security you want, even though you are not the professional. Robert told us all the additional complexity he added to our lock to make it more secure and we were grateful for the service. read more

I bought a new home in downtown and had a former tenant walk in on me the second morning. I called Bob to have the locks changed. He was available right away. He quickly changed out all my locks and even reprogrammed my garage door opener. He gave me a good deal, was super courteous and professional. If you need a locksmith, he is your guy. read more

My son was home when Robert arrived to rekey my new home. He said that Robert was a great guy and very accomodating since I didn't realize how many locks that I needed re-keying. Thank you so much Robert! read more

Nothing but great things to say about my experience. Locked myself out of my house and called ABCL in addition to several other places. I was quoted $55, which was far cheaper than $85 and other quotes over $100. Another business had their locksmith call me back and they would not give me a direct estimate; he kept asking for my address so I suspected something fishy. I quoted ABCLs estimate to see if they would match it and they said that it was unlikely that would be the price and ABCL would probably charge me additional fees. Not true, in fact Bob gave me a few bucks off for finding them on yelp. He was at my house in about 20 minutes as promised. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future, they are honest and prompt. read more

I was completely happy with my service. Bob came the same day. He was friendly and honest. I didn't ask for the price upfront because I needed someone to come out the same day. I noticed that he had some prices/specials posted on his Yelp site and I was wondering if he would charge me more. He didn't! Bob (the owner) came out to do the work and charged me a very fair price. I would not hesitate to use him again. read more

So I had a roommate move out (took long enough) and she slipped back into our house early this morning and took some stuff. You can imagine the frustrating feeling I had. I called Bob and he was available today (on Mother's Day) and what a relief. I am really thrilled that the locks are changed. Call Bob, he's friendly and does a great job. You may find that after he does a great job that you engage in conversation that is intriguing and stimulating like I did. read more

Bob was very friendly and personable, as well as a very capable locksmith. Reasonably priced, punctual, and worked quickly. Would definitely recommend him for anyone in need of a locksmith. read more
