This is my second time using this company . Rafael (the owner) called before our scheduled appointment time to let me know he was on his way. Rafael has the best customer service. He is Trust worthy, and has been on time for both appointment. He takes care of the details The Best there is, I am Not exaggerating! I had a dead bolt added to my front door. The work is perfect. He also fixed the lock to my back sliding door. (Not sure why this review was stuck in Yelp, I still stand by the review years later) read more

We locked ourselves out of our house yesterday. Rafael was very quick to respond to our call for help. He arrived at our home within 15 or 20 minutes and had our door open within a few minutes. We highly recommend Rafael! He was very nice and has an amazing personality. We are so appreciative for his quick response! Ken and Lois Chelini read more

To be honest, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was about 5 minutes late for our scheduled appointment, to re-key a rental property. When I arrived at the home Rafael had already came & left (his business card was placed in the screen door). I felt really shitty, about being late, so I called, the number on his business card, to apologize and try to re-schedule for another day. No answer - I left a message. Then tried the main number and spoke with the scheduler, sorry I forgot his name, who is such a nice guy. He offered to reach out to Rafael and see what could be done. Long story short, Rafael came back within about 30 minutes, and was as attentive and nice as could be, while replacing 8 locks and cutting new keys. I believe I paid $178.00 (with yelp discount) He no longer accepts cards so be sure to have cash on hand. (I wasn't prepared for that but we worked it out) I really appreciate a down to earth, business owner, who can flex with my schedule and provide good service. Genuinely nice people are hard to find,and Rafael, at Advanced Locksmith, is just that. Thanks dude! read more

After a few scheduling mishaps Raphael was able to come out to my home. He was able to quickly access the situation and rebuild the inner workings of my lock, rather than trying to up charge me into buying a new lock. He was also very generous in waiving the fee after the initial scheduling issues. I would definitely recommend AND use them in the future. I appreciate stand up people who don't try and get over on their customers and make accommodations when something doesn't go right. And he got the job done quickly! Thanks Raphael! read more

Locked my keys in the car and called. Got sent to voicemail with a full voicemail box! Can't get business like that!

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!! I needed a lock re-keyed at my business. Called on a Friday, got a quote, and appointment was set up for someone to be there Monday morning at 10am when my business opened. Monday came and it was now 12pm and still no one showed. Called multiple times to get status and was not able to leave a voicemail because voicemail was not set up yet. Never received a return call. Ended up contacting another locksmith to get the job done. read more

my car randomly stopped turning over. So I searched for a local locksmith and was very happily surprised. Amazing customer service and communication. I absolutely would recommend! read more

My wife and I made an appointment with this guy for Monday July, 19 for 10 AM. My wife stayed home from work to wait for him, he never showed up. She called him later that day, they said they got tied up in some work with the sheriff's office and could not make it out that day. They offered us a discount to come out the next day, naturally we take it. Next day rolls around its 1 PM and still has yet to show up, My wife calls them, They say "we are so sorry we forgot about it, we will be out later this afternoon". Its now 4:30 PM still not here, we call again and there was no answer, we waited till 5:30 PM then called, still no answer. Better off wasting you time doing something else rather then with this company. Highly not recommended! read more

Rafael was at my place within 30 minutes of calling him. And it was a Sunday, so that was actually pretty impressive. My job was small - I just needed him to clip a lock. He also brought up the fact that I could probably get a AAA reimbursement, so the job might actually end up being free. I forgot this was a AAA perk, so I definitely appreciated the reminder. He's a dog-owner, a family man, and runs a good, honest business. I'll probably give him a call to install a safe in my home at some point in the future. read more

Just moved to Brentwood. I was a knucklehead and locked myself out of the house. Surfed Yelp and found Rafael. Called him and within 15 minutes he arrived at my house. Did an excellent and efficient job. I will definitely go back to him to replace our locks entirely and also to possibly install a safe. Honest, affordable, very approachable and did a wonderful job! read more

In interest of all fairness and honesty the first time you met with my father about my car he had nothing but nice things to say about you. He said you were professional, courteous and seemed very knowledgeable. You DID say you had to order the part but you also said you could get it the next day. We were willing to pay the cost you had discussed especially after you showed my father how to get the vehicle home without towing. You seemed like a reliable person so we decided to proceed. Instead of just coming out and saying you had holiday plans or would be out of town you allowed us to continue to call and wait. For several days. I would have left you a glowing review even if you had said "hey its the holidays I have other obligations I'm sorry" but instead we kept hearing "tomorrow" "tomorrow" when you bothered to answer at all. The TRUTH is we wanted to do business with you after the first meeting, we even persisted to try to do business with you. But after getting the run around for several days, I took the car to a mechanic who fixed it the same day (even with having to have the part delivered). They answered the phone, and they did things when they said they would. THAT is why you got the review you did. Ps. I gave you another star for actually responding to my review. read more

Such great service!!! My key was literally stuck in the ignition of my old Honda Pilot on the top of a parking garage where NO tow truck could get to. After 3 days of stress and dealing with insurance, tow companies, and dealerships all estimating a huge cost onto me to fix the problem, I called Raphael and he came to the rescue! He was able to get my key out in minutes and charged a small fraction of what I would've endured with towing and Honda dealership parts/labor. Rafael is a great guy, look no further!! I'll definitely be using him in the future both personally and for my Real Estate client needs. Thank you ! read more

Outstanding service! The entire process took 30 minutes. Rafael was very professional and up front about the fees. Total cost to have my door unlocked $85, not bad at all! Thanks Rafael for being prompt and reliable. I appreciate your service. I highly recommend Advanced Locksmith as the go-to for 24hr emergency help. read more

Advanced Locksmith & Security - Call Rafael for 24 hr emergency service! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Brentwood, California

Thank you, Sean!!! My husband and I were about to go to bed in Oakland and got a call from one of our tenants in Antioch that she had locked herself out of her bedroom. We looked at each other and said, "Locksmith!" He did a google search and started calling people who said they had 24 hour locksmith services. I did a yelp search and started calling people... The first person who picked up the phone was Sean. Then, not only did he explain the services, fees, and procedure briefly and clearly, he headed out the door and arrived at the rental in 35 minutes! He completed the services so efficiently that I think I was reading him my credit card information within an hour of the first call. read more

Rafael did a great job. I appreciated johns response on short notice to get out such a fine tech to finish the job. On time and found ways to save money and I appreciated that. Professional, friendly, my dog even misses him already. As you yelpers know I'm a tough cookie but I'm religious about if we post reviews disappointed we need to also post when happy. This wasn't brain surgery but if it was I hope its as good as this was. No worries with this company or this tech, highly recommended and by me that's about impossible read more

I had locked myself out of my house. Very friendly and would definitely use again. Super quick response.

Attempted to call them when I locked myself out of my house and received a message that their voicemail box had yet to be set up. You own a business yet fail to set up your voicemail and do not answer your phone? read more

We called this guy at 4pm, he said he would be out in around an hour- NEVER SHOWED UP, and ignored all our phone calls, and never called us back even after we left a message. HORRIBLE. I had to stay home from work the next day to wait for some other locksmith. I would NEVER recommend this guy. read more

I spoke with the owner 2 times and both times he was going to call me back and give me a price and a appointment, but he never did return my calls. I would not recommend this business even if desperate. terrible busness practices. read more

Great company. Rafael Hernandez (the locksmith) arrived on time, professional, fast and helpful. Highly recommend this company.

Called around 8pm Rafael came in about 30mins. He unlocked my house door & bedroom door really fast. He is very friendly and professional & the price was very reasonable compared to other people I have called. He made my night by doing the job efficiently I definitely recommend !!!! He's a pretty cool dude ! read more

I needed my rental property re-keyed after sudden tenant vacancy and Rafael fit me in his busy schedule. (thank you!) He not only re-keyed my three locks but educated me during the process and offered me safety tips. He was professional, fair priced and most of all trustworthy. I believe his experience and knowledge sets him apart and I wouldn't consider any other locksmith. Thanks Rafael! AV read more

They were great! Prompt and courteous. 1st time I was locked out of my house, used them again for my car. Highly recommend!!

I'm so very pleased with Rafaels work. I was locked out of my house and he was quickly able to get me in at a great price. Thank you!

Called on a Saturday afternoon needing a lock picked and re-keyed. The were professional and friendly over the phone. Showed up within the hour. Jumped right on the job. Very straight forward, professional and courteous. Would highly recommend! read more

Excellent and high quality service. Very professional and quick installation. Price quoted was great and it ended up being less. Rafael has a lot of knowledge of the area and did not try to sell me any more than I needed. Was on-time for the appointment and cleaned up before leaving. Highly recommend this service. read more

I am opening a new business in Brentwood, & needed my locks re-keyed urgently, Rafael came on the 4th of July & was in & out quickly! Nice to deal with & pricing was fair- Thank you for everything! read more

I just bought a house in Brentwood and called these guys to come out and rekey the house. I wanted the entire locking mechanisms swapped out with tumblers not susceptible to bump keys. I appreciated Rafael's professional opinion and the fact he wasn't trying to upsell. In fact, he was telling me it wouldn't stop someone who really wanted to break in but if it offered peace of mind, then the few extra dollars would be worth it. While installing the new hardware, he was sharing information with me as far as what makes one lock better than the other and what I should look out for. Great experience and pleasant customer service. Highly recommend them. Keep in mind that weekends are real busy. If you can schedule them on a weekday, mid-day, you'll have less customers you'll be competing against to get them scheduled. read more

Rafael is a great guy. The property I rent from uses him as maintenance so not only is he a locksmith he's a good contractor. He's working on my garage (motor) soon to be replaced with a new, sink and replaced my ceiling fan. I will definitely see about using him when we move. Thanks Rafael. read more

I called Rafael to help with a difficut install of a new deadbolt - he was at my house in less than an hour, fixed the problem and charged a minimall fee. Great service, I will refer him to everyone I know! read more

I was locked out of a clients house at 7AM on a Saturday morning. I called Advanced Locksmiths and left a message. He called back within 20 minutes, and was there within a half hour. He quoted me a rate over the phone and promised there would be no additional charges and he was true to his word., I was taken advantage of by a locksmith tacking on an extra $100 to the charge. Advanced Locksmiths is very honest and I recommend them highly. read more

I booked an appointment for Friday morning. When he wasn't able to be there when he said he would, he called to let me know and to say when he could be. He was pleasant and courteous and got the repair jobs done well, quickly and fairly priced. Saved me a ton of money over having to replace the locks! Highly recommend! read more

Called the other day and made an appointment for them to come out and help me with a door lock. Appointment was for 4:30, no one ever showed up, no one ever called to reschedule, no one called to cancel. BAD. read more

Good and quick Service for a Reasonable price. Rafael came on time and did great work. Knowledgeable guy

I scheduled this company a week prior to the requested work date. All was confirmed and they were a no show. They didn't answer their phone all day and never contacted me to let me know they wouldn't make our appointment. As I drove 4 hours round trip to meet them at this property it was a completely wasted day. Totally unreliable business. read more

A very nice young man arrived early. Re-Keyed our new home as well as fixed my husbands safe and showed us how to change the code and how to use it. He was very quick and extremely reasonable. We would definately use this company again. read more

Called this evening to get some keys made and Rafael Hernandez said he would come by and do the job without charging late night fees. He was done within 30 minutes and a pleasure to talk too. I highly recommend him. Don't mix him up with Advance Locksmith. He is "AdvanceD Locksmith" and ask for Rafael. There is no female receptionist; he will answer and do his best to provide you great quick service. read more
