We found Herman's company through the many great reviews on Yelp and we definitely weren't disappointed. We recently moved into our new home and wanted to get our locks rekeyed as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we had to reschedule our initial appointment twice due to a delay with our close of escrow. Herman was very accommodating to us changing our appointment numerous times. He showed up on time, was very professional and even helped us with our garage door opener (which we initially planned to have a garage company take care of). Herman runs a great service and has both great customer service and happy customer reviews to back it up. Highly recommended for anyone needing help to get their keys done. read more

Second time using this Service. Great service quick response and good pricing. Thank you Herman .

Herman was available to come to my house quickly, and did an excellent job re-pinning all my locks. In addition, several of the deadbolts were problematical, not going far enough into the door sill lock plate. He was able to fix all of these issues, lubricated all the locks, and now everything works perfectly. He is also a very courteous and easy person to do business with. The $119 special for repinning is an extraordinary value and he only charged an addition $10.00 for fixing several problems with the deadbolts. He also gave me advice on security and reprogrammed my garage door controls for free. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again. Great service. Thanks, Herman! read more

Affordable Lock and Key is AWESOME!! I found Herman on YELP and am so happy that I went with him!! I contacted him to re-key my new home. He was very gracious and accommodated my schedule of an evening appointment. We reviewed what I needed, he provided feedback and recommendations then he very quickly got to work. He did more than we discussed, helped one door clear the space as it was dragging, he also worked on an exterior door that was not hanging properly to latch - and - his rate was SOOOOO reasonable! I had a condo rekeyed in Chicago, IL and the cost ran me about $500, Affordable Lock and Key was a lot less expensive and very reasonable! I would absolutely recommend Herman/Affordable Lock and Key to anyone and will definitely use them again when needed. Thank you for everything, Herman!! = ) read more

Herman was great to work with, rekeyed 8 locks, replaced lock for patio sliding door and installed a brand new front door handle. He made great suggestions and was willing to help and look at all things doors....great price too. read more

Lightning fast service. Repaired the lock and cut a key for us. Reasonable pricing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Thank you for the rekeying and reuse of my older hardware that didn't need replacing after all- you saved me $ here. Especially appreciated your work realigning the slider door hinges- the doors now close better than ever! read more

Not only is Herman affordable, he's efficient. My neighbor was having a lock issue the same day as my appointment to install new locks. Herman assisted my neighbor (who was locked out) gain access to their home & install new locks. He definitely has my vote ! read more

Called Herman after having locked myself out of my home. I was told that he was just finishing up at a job but that he could be over within a half hour...and he was.

He was puntual and very friendly. His prices are also competitive. I will definitely call him for all of my locksmith needs.

I needed to rekey all the locks in my new house so contacted Affordable Lock & Key. Herman, the owner, gave me a quote over the phone. His price was very reasonable compared to others I called. He set up an appointment for the next day. He came on time and introduced himself and started his work. He was really nice and friendly. If you need to have a new home re-keyed, I recommend Affordable Lock & Key. read more

Herman did a fantastic job changing out my locks on the doors of my home and was even able to reprogram my garage door on the spot. He was on time and did a fantastic job. He even gave me some advice about the remaining doors and mentioned coming back to update a few locks that were old and outdated. I appreciated him for sharing his insight and his willingness to go the extra mile. He is affordable and efficient. I will definitely refer him to my friends and family. read more

Called Mr. Bustamente late Friday for a non emergency repair and he texted me early Monday to schedule that same day. He arrived on time and took care of the lock. Excellent customer service. My daughter used his services and was very satisfied. Based on her satisfaction and Yelp reviews I selected him. I would definitely refer him to friends and use his services in the future. read more

I've used Herman's services twice. He responds very quickly and was able to schedule appointment dates within 24 hours of my inquiries. I appreciate his advice and honesty. I used his services a few years back, and never had any problems with those keys or locks. So, I gave him a call again and I was equally satisfied with my new locks. The price was, as it states in the title, affordable too! read more

I arranged via text and at a distance for Herman to come out and make a key for my father's mailbox. He could do it the same day and was affordable. He arrived a little early and took care of it. Easy peasy and my dad said he was friendly. I am very pleased with his service. read more

Locked myself out of my bedroom and tried opening with credit card, paper clips, etc with no luck. Called Herman this morning at 6:30am, he came over at 11am and opened it in two minutes. Thanks Herman, and sorry for waking you up so early on a Monday morning! read more

Right on time, rekeyed our house, very reasonably on price. Very happy with the work and even fixed our door from banging. Will definitely use Herman again in the future and would recommend him to anyone! read more

I wanted to write this review to commend Herman on being prompt and professional today as we did to a lockout service. We were suppose to use a different company but it didn't work out due to mischeduling and I was able to get a hold of Herman and he arrived within 20 minutes and we were able to meet our deadline. He was very patient and did an excellent job with changing out all the locks. Overall I was very satisfied with our experience and will continue to use him for our future needs. Thanks so much!!! read more

You see, we tried to install our front door, unbeknownst, we didn't have the proper tools, but Herman had everything and more! We need our front door installed and 3 doors re-keyed, which he scheduled for an hour. Well, he not only finished in an hour, he also recommended door changes for safety. He was very professional and savvy with technology. Text for appt confirmation and emailed receipt. We also needed a key lockbox and he was there to the rescue! Thank you Herman for making our day! read more

We needed our new rental rekeyed and I contacted Herman. He was prompt with his reply and fit me into his schedule with 2 days notice. He communicated when he was on his way and even though there was a delay on my end, he was patient and professional. He will be my go to referral for a locksmith! read more

After locking myself out of my place on my way to work I had called "Master Key Locksmith" to help me and was completely creeped out. So I decided to call Herman at Affordable Lock & Key and he was more than professional. He quoted me a more than reasonable price and was familiar the locks on the doors at my complex. I would highly recommend him to everyone in need of a locksmith. He had locksmith equipment unlike the previous one who had a drill and some tools. Also to ensure you're not just getting into anyone building but yours he does ask for proof that you live there which made me feel good! read more

Herman was quick and efficient from initial contact through to the final billing. We had him come by and change 5 locks on our front and back doors. We also purchased extra key copies for the new door locks and two new pad locks. He even readjusted a few things to ensure our back door closed tightly and sealed correctly. His rates were very competitive compared to the other prices quoted to us on yelp. We are very satisfied with his quality work. read more

Despite two attempts at purchasing keys to open my accidentally locked Anderson Hickey file cabinet, the keys did not open the lock. I am going to have to spend the money on a locksmith who may be unable to unlock the cabinet and will have to drill out the lock. This is my first time at using Affordable Lock & Key of California, and I would not bother spending money on another fruitless endeavor with them in the future. read more

Amazingly quick service. Very impressed. Very competitive price. I called at 10am in the morning to ask if someone was available to re-key my home either today or tomorrow and they were able to send someone within a couple of hours. Herman changed the locks on ALL four of the entrance doors to my home within a matter of minutes. He was kind a courteous, knocked it out of the park. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone who's looking to change locks. read more

I text pictures to Herman of all my locks in the evening and he provided a quote. He came out the next morning to rekey my house. I got quotes from 3 others locksmiths in the area he was by far the most affordable. I highly recommend him. Thanks, EMT read more

Herman is awesome. Gave me a very reasonable quote, came out on time and did 8 locks for me in a quick amount of time. He was fast, clean, and friendly. I would use him again in a heartbeat! read more

Long story, so here's the short of it: I called Herman this morning to replace the entire front door latch and deadbolt (which had already been removed because broken) after a failed DIY attempt. Although he was on another job when I called, he arrived in about an hour, took one look at the mess and offered to simply fix and reinstall the broken latch and lock, saving us quite a few bucks. He was courteous, super helpful, and even provided some additional parts and adjusted the door position to optimize the door closing. It now works better than ever, and we avoided needing to make new keys! read more

I had an ongoing problem with a front doorknob/lock that would stick and not turn properly. Herman arrived on time, took care of it perfectly, and voluntarily took care of some other items I hadn't noticed. I'll definitely be calling on him again when the need arises. I'm happy to have found someone who is so responsive and capable. read more

I actually didn't use his service, was contacting for a quote on an auto key, and Herman informed me that wasn't a service that he performed. He didn't stop there though, he made sure that he provided me with a list of local locksmiths who would be able to help me out with what I needed! Incredibly helpful, even for those who he may not be able to help directly. I know that if I have any home locksmithing needs, this will be the company that I contact! Thanks Herman! read more

Herman was awesome! I called him at 9am on a Wednesday and he made himself available to change all five (5) locks in my home at 11am that same morning! All this while taking advantage of his ReKey Special of $119.00! I was skeptical at first to try his service, but he was very professional an engaging. Affordable Lock & Key is definitely bookmarked on my Yelp account for future use. read more

Herman is polite and works fast. He is affordable and also gave good advice. I would hire him again.

Lost my key for my bedroom door. Called affordable lock and key. Herman responded promptly and I was able to set up an appoinment almost immediately the same day. He arrived around the time agreed upon and stated his price after introducing himself and getting ready to work on door. His price was very reasonable. Shortly after this he had very quickly opened my door. Thank You Herman for helping me from damaging my door frame trying to get into room. read more
