Well what can I say. Gary shows up 20 minutes late. Does fix our problem. It took him less than 5 min to do the job. Charged $120.00 so we paid we asked for a receipt he said he would sent it he never did. The next day, I sent a few respectful kind text messages, I called and he didn't pick up nor did he bother to respond. Sorry Gary but you failed. If you hire Gary be sure to confirm your receipt on the spot and do not let him go. Because he will disappear on you. read more

A Thru Z Lock and Key - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Mr. Gary was quick and efficient. Would highly recommend to anyone. He is a lifesaver

Gary is cool. He came through quickly when I needed a dozen property keys made (the special gold ones that say Do Not Duplicate). He knows what he's doing. Even though it doesn't take a total expert to see that our front lobby door lock is a piece of shi...he was still forthcoming with suggestions and temporary, cost effective, time-buying fixes. Honest guy...working for honest prices. Again, another victim of our slow accounts payable, yet disgustingly patient and kind through it all. A+ read more

Gary was very friendly over the phone than in person. He did not want me to hang around and ask questions. found out why later, he came to fix my door lock, after it was fixed before Having me try it out the old key function, he went to his van and started to cut the new key. If I don't get new key, he won't warranty the job. That's his tricks. I said okay, give me a new key but let me keep my old one as well. He agreed than backed off and finally told me he plan to take the chip from my original key and used it the way he doesn't have to program a new key. (Basically just cut the key Mickey Mouse job). Key he gave me is cheap after market key, looks and feel different. He should have showed me the key before hand. If I knew he would do this I would have kept my original key. Now I know why he doesn't like customer hang around. By the way he gave me TWO years warranty on key. Reason for two star is he should have showed me the key before making the key. read more

Gary is the man! Locked my keys in my car while it was running... with less than a quarter tank left. Despite my Darwinian mistake, Gary was able to speed his way during rush hour traffic to my poor, dying car just as the gas light had turned on. Using the jaws of life, he popped open the passenger door. I reached in and turned off the engine like James Bond disarming a nuke with 5 seconds left until detonation. Price was fair too. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I used this company to re-key my car door. The price was reasonable and the service was beyond my expectations. In fact I am not usually moved to write reviews but the service was that outstanding. read more

So I'm shopping at the northridge mall for Xmas gifts... When I finally came out of that crazy place I realized I had lost my key. I walked the whole entire mall, stopping at every store I went into asking if someone has turned in my car key...obviously the answer was no. I called A thru Z lock and key and they were there with in 35 min. I have a tricky key so they popped my glove box lock out and took it with them to there shop to make a key. I headed to the local bar and waited. After a few drinks he was back. They reprogrammed my car to make the key work. I headed home and a few days later I started wrapping gifts.....I pulled out all the gifts from the bags and felt something heavy in the bag...yes...it was my keys! The holidays were over and I decided to call A thru Z and see if they can program my key...he said I'll be over this after noon. He remembered who I was and came to my home in Santa Clarita and programmed my key for free! He must of felt bad about my whole situation. This guy was a class act. The prices are reasonable, and the service was quick and professional. I hope I never lose my keys again but if I do I'll be calling A thru Z again. read more

From when I used their service on 9/26/2012 A Thru Z Lock & Key answered their phone right away. Gary answered all of my questions and was able to give me the price over the phone and an ETA. He was only a couple of minutes late, but was very professional and called to apologize and to let me know that he was close. My mailbox lock broke today and he replaced the lock. He had to custom fit the pieces and make a small tweek to the hinges on the door so it could work smoothly. He did all this very fast and made sure I was satisfied with his work. He was also very courteous to my 5 year old son who watched him work and occasionally peppered him with questions. He even told us about his two young daughters. He was very personable, which is something I and many people appreciate as it is very rare anyone wants to be in a position where they would need a locksmith to begin with (i.e. getting locked out of something). I highly recommend this service to anyone with locksmithing needs in the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita areas. read more

I accidentally lost my roommate's car key. After looking everywhere, I drove her to the toyota dealership. They said it was going to be around $600 for the key alone because it had a chip in it and they needed to reprogram the car. The cost did not include towing the car to the dealership, which was another $100, and my roommate also wanted me to pay to have all of her door locks changed which was going to bring the total to around $1500. We were asked to bring the car in by 1pm in order to have it back by 5pm. When I got home I called around to find a less expensive price for the services when a friend referred me to Gary. In 30min he was at our apt and did the entire job in a couple hours. He was real friendly and my total came out to less than $440! I definitely recommend this company to anybody looking to get quality service done at a low price! read more

Gary replaced the ignition cylinder on my 1978 Ford Bronco in a matter of minutes after I struggled to for an hour. He was friendly, charged less than quote because he was just a bit late (called to update me,) and helped set the cylinder into its spot after his job was already done. Above and beyond... Thanks Gary. read more

I have never locked my keys in my car before, so I got a bit freaked out when it happened at Whole Foods just after I put my groceries in the car. My first thoughts were, "oh no! I don't have anyone to call" and "uhg, I will be stuck here for hours!" The first place I called didn't unlock cars, but they referred me to Gary and he was an absolute lifesaver! He made the experience as painless as possible by arriving remarkably fast, unlocking the doors quickly and charging a very fair price. I put Gary on my speed dial just in case it ever happens again. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs locksmith services! Thank you Gary! read more

My key stopped working on one of my tool bins on my work truck. Gary was able to replace the key cylinder and it works like new.

I am a chef and was shopping for a large event when I shut the hatchback on my key. It was at a 45 degree angle. There I was 100+ degrees with groceries needing refrigeration. First call was a mistake..I called AAA who would only send out someone to replace the key not try to copy it and the quote for my Lexus key was hundreds of dollars and it would be up to 2 1/2 hours before they could get there. My second call was to Gary of A thru Z who listened patiently and said let me see what I can do. He explained why the other quote was so high, he gave me a dramatically lower quote and arrived within the hour. He was professional, cordial and explained every step. Gary was able to straighten the key out enough to copy it for me and the new key works like a charm. He saved my bacon (literally) along with a couple hundred dollars worth of product. Now A thru Z Lock and Key is my first and only call for lock needs. He even does locking mailbox keys! read more

Gary is a great guy, He is always fair and honest and stands behind all his work. My shop and customers use him all the time

Gary came out and put a new ignition barrel and rekeyed an old Chevy van donated to our church. He charged a reasonable rate, handed me a receipt, gave me his card looking for referrals, all was good. Until the bookkeeper lost the receipt and requested a duplicate. No problem, I will just call nice Gary up and get one. So I called, and called, and called, finally got Gary and a promise to send me the duplicate receipt. It never arrived. So I called and called and called some more. I finally gave him an ultimatum, send me a receipt or I am going to post a negative review on Yelp to warn others. I gave him an entire week to call me back, to do something, anything so I would not have to post this. NOPE. Gary doesn't care, just wants your money now, don't expect him to take care of you if anything is needed after he walks away with your money. Too bad, I would have referred him to my friends. Not now. read more

Incredible service, fast response, and hard to beat pricing! Got a master key made for my girlfriend's Mitsubishi for almost 1/2 the price of several other locksmith quotes, and WAY cheaper than the dealer. Gary even threw in an extra key at no cost! Can't reccomend them enough. Would give 6 out of 5 stars if i could. read more

The extra key I had for my car would not start it. I knew it had a chip in it so it was going to need a special handling. I called three different Ford dealers for pricing and was taken a bit back at how much it was going to cost to replace or reprogram; I mean seriously shocked. Something I had not thought of but was mentioned by a service tech at one of the dealers was to call a locksmith. Wow, never thought of that one. Well after talking to two different locksmith company's I decided to call my local locksmith Abe's to see if he did the job I needed. He didn't but he gave me a recommendation. That is when it started to go RIGHT. First I check out the reviews Yelp and was pleasantly put into joy. Then I called Gary and was so happy with his answers to my questions. He was the only one that keep it simple, comprehensible and a very good price. Just to be sure though, I did not get it in writing, I asked him if the quote was final with nothing else added. He raised the joy bar by saying. "Just what I quoted." The deal was sealed and he came out and right on the time he said he would. The job was fast, clean and a pleasure because Gary is truly a very nice person. All my friends, family and apartment tenants will hear all about Gary. Great example of a professional. read more
