Craig is the absolute best! Keyed the entire house hassle free, and even fixed a couple handles that were either installed wrong or slightly broken. He explained what he was doing and got my whole house on one key, plus, this man has great stories! Did I mention he came when I had time?! Started the work at 9pm! I will continue to brag about and support Craig, he's professional, knows what he's doing, and very courteous. read more

Craig fixed my problem at 9pm and even gave me a few locksmith lessons. Quality work, fair price, great guy. Thank you Craig.

He created a key for my new ignition in a pretty short amount of time and was also incredibly knowledgeable. I felt like I was charged very fairly and treated so kind! Most places wouldn't even call me back or dare working on a Volvo key?! Even showed me some videos of his dog he really helped me out of a bind and got me one step closer to fully fixing my car!! I will 100% be recommending him to anyone who needs a locksmith! 20/10 read more

When I misplaced my car key back in August, I was frantically contacting local locksmiths searching for a quote that wouldn't break the bank. I was so happy to have called Craig, who was even able to meet me at 10pm after I was off of work. I can't say enough good things about him, he was a godsend! He was insanely knowledgable and helpful, and was able to reprogram a brand-new key for my car for much, much less than the other locksmiths were quoting me. Save your time and money and choose Craig! read more

Responsive, Professional, Great communication Craig picked up the phone and was to my truck within 40 min to make me a key (I lost). He was very professional, gave me a few options, and was very friendly. After calling a few other locksmiths, it is clear this is the guy to call when you need a locksmith job done quickly. read more

Chris is seriously the best! He went completely above and beyond what he needed to for us. He even offered to have his wife buy us a battery at Costco since we didn't have a membership. He is super cool and down to earth. He even ordered a new part for his key programming computer just so that he could program our key. He went out of his way to help us out and we are very grateful. Also, the best part is that when you call you talk to him, not some dispatcher in a different state. He is local and his prices are fair. I will most definitely be using his business for any locksmith needs I have in the future. Highly recommend!! read more

Best Locksmith Service! I have used A-Locksmith-Craig for our local business and my personal home. Chris is always there when I need him, especially today-I had a strange scary character on my balcony and was not able to lock my door from the outside to feel safe leaving my home. Chris came out same day and replaced my lock and even helped the police find the guy!!! Above and beyond service from A-Locksmith!!!! read more

Super fast and friendly. He got a new key made for me the same day I called him, and it was mother's day. Highly recommended for any services read more

Chris is the best of the best. He has completed home and specialized commercial work for us with flawless execution. He is affordable, available, and excellent. Seriously wouldn't look any further for your go-to locksmith. read more

Mr. Craig is incredibly responsive with intelligent and well considered options for dealing with the issue presented to him. It's such a relief to have competent and considerate professionals to help when it's needed. read more

Wow!!! Thank you so much Chris for being able to assist us with locking ourselves out of our cabin in Felton accidentally! From myself calling him frantically to Chris arriving at our get-away relaxation spot was less than 30 minutes, job completed in approximately 5 minutes! Look no further, excellent customer service plus he was extremely professional read more

Craig was super helpful and informative throughout the whole process. Really great guy!

I locked my gun safe and after calling multiple other locksmiths not wanting to spend the time or having an outrageous quote, I came in contact with Craig. Craig was very knowledgeable and arrived within a couple hours. He spent 2 hours trying to open my safe with his tools and finally was able to do so! He is very professional and reliable! Will hire him again if I ever need another locksmith and will be referring people to him. read more

Had to get an extra chip ignition key made for my son's first car. It is a huge relief to know we/I have a spare now. And he charged a lot less than a dealer would for the key and to program it. He came to my home. Very easy and quick. read more

Craig was great, I was locked out of my house and he was able to come out to me in Scotts Valley from Felton immediately, he was friendly and professional. Although I hope not to need my lock picked again, I'm glad I won't need to search for a locksmith. Fantastic service, couldn't recommend more. read more

Craig came right out on a busy Saturday and changed our house and mailbox locks with lightening speed. His prices are incredibly fair and he was professional and courteous throughout the process. I hope we don't need a locksmith again any time soon, but if we do we will absolutely be calling Craig. read more

I have never been so impressed with the knowledge, skill, and professionalism of a locksmith. After a valet lost my key, he drove 30 minutes to the restaurant and was able to cut a brand new chipped Audi key in about 30 minutes; no small feat given the complexity of Audi's keyed security system. The key works perfectly and even sets the alarm on my car! In addition the price was extremely reasonable given the challenging nature of the job. Mr. Craig is a cut above the competition and is a fair businessman on top of that. He is highly recommended for any locksmithing need you may have. read more

Craig has helped our business two times. He came right away when we called. He suggested the best choice concerning our locks. His prices are very reasonable. We would suggest his services to anyone. read more

I recently had my car stolen. Two weeks later I received a phone call from the police department saying they found my car. Not surprisingly the thieves broke my ignition, and I was unable to start my car with my key. I called A Locksmith Craig based on positive Yelp reviews. He met me at my car the same day and got it started. He then made some calls and found the part needed. He installed the new ignition and skillfully set it up so my old keys worked in the new ignition as the did for the doors and trunk. All on the same day, New Year's Eve! He made the very best of my bad situation and I am truly great full. read more

I locked myself out of my house twice in two weeks. Both times I called Chris Craig and both times he was at my house in less than 30 minutes and had my door open in less than 30 seconds. He is professional and fun to talk to. read more

Chris was really really awesome. He came out to help me make a new ignition key for my Toyota 4Runner relatively late at night around 9 or 10 pm. He came and did this for me because it was going to be towed the next morning. He also brought his cables and jump-started my truck . He was super friendly, and professional, on phone and in person, came when he said he was going to come (the first locksmith we tried to do business with who did), made me 3! spare keys (one of which was a courtesy and free of charge). He was very thorough, explained everything to me really well: showing me pictures of the work hed done inside my computer (the computer had been put away back under dashboard and so this was the only way to verify/ explain what he had done.) Explained to me how the chip ignition keys work & showed me a model he'd made himself making inner parts of key visible. Prices fair! It was a great relief because all the previous quotes Id been receiving, people either told me they couldnt do the work or they COULD do the work but it could potentially damage the computer system in my truck, costing me 3-$4,000, which would make more sense to just throw the car away. Imagine my stress, since I'd just bought the vehicle only one month prior for 6,000 and was currently using it as transportation AND home base since the fires, all my things in it & living in it too. When I called him he laughed at the other locksmiths & their weirdness, and calmed me down & reassured me that he was highly trained enough to know how to do it properly and for much, much less money. If he had been unable to do it, or wouldn't come that night, I was going to go with the only other locksmith who had said he could do the work. But he was going to charge twice! as much as Chris, possibly destroy my computer system in my truck, making me lose my vehicle, wouldn't guarantee the work but was working my fear hard, saying he was only locksmith who could do the work, and who would come out so far and so late. As a woman alone, under great stress, afraid & with only hours left, I was considering rolling the dice & hiring this guy before I found Chris (through the nice Ladds Towing lady tow truck drivers referral). And the first dude (who I'd met in person that day) was an oppressive, arrogant, ego maniac who was totally insensitive and hitting on me though I was crying and seemed a total scam. (BEST LOCKSMITH SANTA CRUZ). So to have a nice, gentlemanly, Christian family man like Chris save the day was highly needed and therapeutic. I felt safe with him. Maybe his past job as a police officer lends him an aura of solidity too but he's definitely the man for the job for any women alone at night and will shoot from the hip with you and explain things thouroughly, not try to deceive your uninformed female mind and perv on you. (Which is always nice.) He also went above and beyond in the sense that me & my partner were bickering & squabbling pretty much during the whole time that he was trying to work & he remained calm & actually gave us some sage relationship advice. He was also very patient with me as I had to go up to my house twice to get things I needed (such as my ID/money.) I've never been moved to give a Yelp review before but I can't say enough about this guy. He saved me and my truck/home during a VERY stressful time in my life. Actually tearing up a bit right now. Even invited me to his church to meet his family. I'm really grateful to him and I would highly recommend him to anybody. Very respectful, highly professional. Thanks Chris! My boyfriend says: Top notch professionalism, he was patient and never rushed us, despite us taking up a lot more of his time than expected and late at night, and with a few extra hassles added on. An overall good guy. read more

Awesome service! Christopher came to my home and made me a copy for my Hyundai . Save me $ and going to the San Jose dealership twice.

How to determine which locksmith to use when rekeying your home: I heard a lot of horror stories of unlicensed locksmith's breaking into your home at a later time and I was extremely concerned about this. I was told to make sure that each person that you work with has a contractors license and a locksmith license. Chris has both types of licenses as well has a background as a police officer. As a result of his background and the fact that he has both types of licenses I felt super safe that he was helping me! He knows locks as well as the concept of safety and how they work together. I asked him a lot of other types of questions such as how to get car keys with a chip inside made etc. and he was very knowledgeable about them all. I compared his prices with several other companies and his prices were very fair or the best with someone that had both types of licenses. If I ever have to use a locksmith again, I will always call Chris! read more
