The reviews are true--these guys are great. Prompt and courteous and professional. A well run quality second generation family business owned and operated by two brothers trained by their dad. Just some really nice folks to do business with. They discuss options to include doing repairs as economically as possible with absolutely no sales pressure. I dealt with James Alford the younger brother who called and came early--and expertly repaired one door and lock on the spot and arranged to order replacement hardware for another. Highly recommend Alpine Lock and Key--business and people this good deserve our patronage. read more

I just finished getting my deadbolt and exterior door handle locks fixed on a front door. There were parts that needed to be replaced. James was both friendly and professional and arrived as scheduled. He completed the work in a very timely manner and he had the parts he needed with him. The price was very fair. I highly recommend the company and will definitely use the company again whenever needed. read more

On time service. Larry was very professional and quick. I would definitely recommend Alpine.

Thank God for these guys! Typical Friday the 13th--one minute you're living your best life at Target, then you come home to find out you left your house keys on your bed and both your roommates are in SF until the end of the weekend. Needless to say gaining access to the house was a requirement, especially since there are cats to feed, and after many attempts at various windows and a walled off dog door, a call to my dad only to have him tell me Home Depot doesn't sell lock picks, and about 10 minutes of just sitting on my stoop contemplating my life choices up to this point, I finally caved and called Alpine Lock and Key. Jeromie was at my house within 5 minutes and was able to pick my front door lock just as fast. Their after hours rates are very reasonable and they're very friendly. Highly recommend to anyone not trying to sleep in their yard for 3 days, and frankly I recommend them because they seem like a great business. read more

Do not call this company if you urgently need to get back to the Bay Area. We called the night before to schedule an appointment between 10:15-10:45. After no one showed up by 12, we called again only to be greeted by an angry dispatcher who let us know in no uncertain terms that they would arrive before the end of the working day. Well, they didn't. We waited all day. We were fortunate enough to be able to spend another night in the condo we rented. I'm not sure what we would have done otherwise. More money and more lost wages. Maybe spent a night in the car if we could have accessed it.... I strongly believe the only way this company got any positive reviews is because they reviewed themselves. The worst part about this whole situation was seeing the Alpine Locksmith truck drive by your condo about 7 pm and not even slow down or stop. WTF I guess it must have been happy hour..why else not make an easy 550$ Twenty minutes later we canceled the appointment via text and they didn't even bother to get back to us. I can't express how much they suck!!!! This company absolutely sucks but they can get away with it being the only locksmith in town. Don't trust the reviews you read. They could not have been written by a satisfied customer as they can't possibly exist. We are now on day 2 of extending our rental thanks to the erroneous reviews we read on Yelp. They suck and that's all you need to know. read more

Went in 11/10/14 with a truck toolbox that would not lock....3 guys and 1/2 hr later it was fixed. They only charged for a new key (Old one was shot) $15. WOW read more

We were referred to use this company by my in laws if we needed to get our house keyed. When they said they were a good company and had a good experience I put the company in the back of my mind. When we were in need of their services, I remembered their name and bright yellow company logo and called them up. From the office staff to the technician all 5 stars. Employees were to the point and professional. James was extremely efficient and professional. I could not believe the all around customer experience. I not could not believe how painless it was, I had to asked my mother in law if it really was that easy. Her response was yes, that is why we went with them. If you are looking for a professional, efficient and no nonsense company alpine lock and key is the only way to go. read more

Alpine rekey Ed my Yale deadbolts and knobset. Excellent workmanship. Well done!

These guys are the best. Easy to schedule, on time and friendly. Jake took good care of us.

Jake is the BEST! I only trust Jake to take care of all our customers locksmith needs AND always call him personally.

This company is fantastic! They sent someone out within a few short hours of my initial phone call when my back door handle completely went out of commission. Jeromi was punctual, professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything as he went. He even waived the delivery charge when the part didn't come in when expected. I will definitely use this company again! read more

Jeromi is the man! Got to me and my truck in half the time he estimated (must've been close by). Locked my keys in my truck for the first time in my life and he was able to get into it in no time without damaging my vehicle. It helped that he was really nice and swift. Hopefully I don't lock myself out ever again, but on the off chance I do, these are the people I'm calling. read more

Awesome service! Jeromi came out on a Sunday during the holiday weekend and was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend

BY FAR THE BEST COMPANY ON THE PLANET! Over the past weekend I lost my entire purse; wallet and keys included. As I started to shop around for prices to get my key molded, I came across Alpine Lock and Key. When I called, Maria answered the phone and made me feel calm and offered me the VERY BEST PRICE AROUND. She assured me that this happens all the time and can very easily be taken care of. When it came time for my appointment, Mitch came to the rescue. He was right on time and extremely professional. Before I knew it, he had the car unlocked, key molded and programmed and had the phobe ready to go as well. After such an amazing experience with the car key, I decided to head into the story to get my house keys redone as well. Mike was at the desk with another welcoming attitude to help me. He showed me how to ensure I won't loose my keys again. I wish every company were as helpful, as amazing and professional as Alpine Lock and Key. This world would be a much better place if every business treated there clients with such kindness and helpfulness. Thank you to everyone at Alpine lock and key. You all saved my life! read more

I called Alpine glass to get an estimate on rekeying my house. Larry showed up early which was a welcome surprise he also called me before he was on his way over. When he arrived he was able to help me rekey my own locks without charging me anything. I was so appreciative I tipped him but it was a welcome surprise and the customer service was incredible!! Alpine lock and key you have secured a lifetime customer. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Alpine lock an key. Danny was right there able to make new keys for my car for 250 dollars, after I was quoted 1,750 dollars by Dolan toyota. Such kind and courteous service from Danny. Thank God for the honest people in the world. Patty C read more

James is the professional you want to have show up for the job! I cannot rate him highly enough. Don't hesitate-these guys are really super to deal with! read more

After a great day at Squaw with my friend, I find that I lost my car key. Well AAA sent Jacob out. He cut and programmed a key for my car, then after Squaw found our key, Jacob made sure the old key worked as well. Thank you for going the extra mile Jacob read more

Exceptionally helpful! I would highly recommend and use in the future. Very professional and caring staff.

Very fast, price was a bit high but I guess that'll teach me a lesson on losing my rental keys. The locksmith was a very nice guy.

We needed a safe. Did our research. Alpine rose to the top of the list. We went to the store and bought a safe. They installed it the next day. No hassles. Family run business. Good folks. read more

We have been customers of Alpine Lock and Key with our home up in Tahoe Donner forever. Awesome service, awesome response and Jake is awesome, too.

Thank you so much for coming and helping me out on Easter ! We were Locked out of our house in Donner and Jacob came out and got us in. Super fast and friendly service! This company is awesome. You have a customer for life. Thank you! read more

Lost our car keys about a 5 minute drive away from the store location. We called AAA to get our car towed but the guy said he couldn't tow the car because of how the front wheel was turned. He then recommended us to call Alpine Lock and Key because of their service. The quote they gave us was around $200 which includes the $50 transportation fee. We were literally 5 minutes away, the transportation fee sounds a little ridiculous. We were told it was going to take around 1 hour for the locksmith to get to our location. Fine, no problem. We asked if the key would have the remote system included, and they said it should. 1 hour later, we called again to check, and was told it was going to be another 15 minutes. 15min later, we recieved a call back from Alpines asking if we wanted the remote key instead of a regular key. The remote key was going to cost another $150 and take another hour for the locksmith to arrive. At this point we were very frustrated and confused because we were told all of this information but nothing was true. We asked them to just send out the locksmith to make a regular key and the lady said that would take ANOTHER 20 minutes. The locksmith took a while to make the key but had to do it twice because the key was not programmed correctly the first time. The second key was having a more difficult time fitting into the keyhole and the locksmith tried to blame us for it since we use the remote more than the actual key. But the first key worked fine... All in all, we have waited well over the estimated time with little results and mistake after mistakes from the company. read more

So ended up having to have the locks on my house rekeyed and after reading about trying to do it on my own decided to call a pro. Alpine lock and key arrived 3 minutes early and Tyler asked me what exactly I wanted done. Showed him the three locks I needed done and he told me it would be no problem. 15 minutes later he was putting the locks in and handing me my new keys. He took the time to show me that all the keys worked and a feature about the deadbolts that makes sure they are secure that I was unaware of. So three locks 4 keys a free lesson and all on time, one word AWESOME! read more

Best service possible, period. From the management scheduling my multi-door lock change ASAP to Danny the tech getting it all done much faster than anticipated, being a super nice guy, and performing very high quality professional work at a great price. I highly recommend using this company. Thanks! read more

Awesome awesome AWESOME!! I cannot give these guys enough props... a while ago I had called to price check around when my Montero door tumbler began acting funny in the colder weather... deciding I didn't need to prioritize the key or lock itself, as I'm disabled& always have my hands too full to easily operate a turn-key locking mechanism, I'd settled on replacing the remote entry my son had stolen from me(@6months old, mind you)... Right out the gate, I assume because there is no longer a Mitsubishi dealer in town, the prices ranged from sickeningly inflated to prime examples of greeds impact in supply n demand- the quote I received from Alpine was an easy $80 less than the next lowest competitor, which was $100 less than the next!.. I thought something was wrong with my phone. After she gave me the estimate I made her repeat it& then I repeated it to her. They didn't have one on hand at the time, an emergency came up, so I just dealt with it with temp measures last winter. Today: the issue had reared its disruptive head again in the last week, causing very cranky toddlers tantrums while ice cream melted and my phone glared at me from its charger dock inside the terrorist-safe cabin of my truck while we froze our rear-ends off... no more. Due to a mechanical issue I'd need to leave my truck at a local garage overnight, off Yori- which, I'm just going to say it- is NOT a neighborhood where you'd WANT your ride anything LESS than secure. I'd have to leave my keys in drop box- but they'd not be able to get into my truck even to pop the hood if I locked it. So I called Alpine on my way down the mtn, I found that not only did they have ONE of the dobbers that I required, but they ALSO stay open till 5:30 to accommodate regular working folks- or people who get lost easily like me. The one downside, coming from the Liberty end of that street and using nav is that while ON THE MAP it detailed where to go, once I passed where it was on the opposite side of the street my navigation informed me I had "arrived at my destination" at the corner of ryland and steward streets- and then directed me no further. So I drove down to locust, crossed the street, drove down the back alley so I could find an addy without getting my butt ridden- I just so happened to pull up through the place next door to them-only had to swing around to enter the parking lot. (The handicapped parking is inaccessible if someone with an extended cab truck takes the space next to it, as happened to me. So the only thing that I can say this place is lacking is a "compact only" stamp on the space adjoining the handicapped one so that people in pain needn't curb-hop as I'd been made to:) Other than that- the price was nearly $20 less than I'd been quoted this time, they were quick n efficient, even with computer issues- did all they could to ensure I was back on my way quick as could be! When the tech came back out to my truck after I'd explained what happens in my lock and confirmed he could feel resistance in the tumbler- but couldn't identify what the issue might be, nor had he offered any suggestions to remedy this defect in the future, or if the remote should cease operating. Because they are a locksmith I'd actually kind of expected a knowledgeable briefing on what was behind all the grief I'd been dealing with- perhaps some preventative measures... but from what I'd casually observed, it seemed possible that different techs have differing areas of expertise- this specific tech had only helped me because the one more qualified in automotive work was committed to helping another customer, and my order was as simple as they come- which is more than what I can say for the issue that prompted said work request. Friendly, helpful AND affordable?! Beats greed-driven know-it-all crooks who only offers the premium-priced "solutions" if you're willing to take a DEEP pocket screwing. read more

Great place to get keys made, buy locks and get lock mechanism parts. The womaythat works here is extremely knowledgeable and hey

As a property manger I have used Alpine consistently for the last 4 almost 5 years for my re-keys and lock outs. The quality and continuity of their service is unparalleled. I probably should admit this but after locking my keys in my car at a showing at the back of Cold Springs....on a Friday late in the afternoon the guys at Alpine came to my rescue. I cant imagine using another locksmith. They are great with my clients and exhibit professionalism beyond compare at evictions. They are my go to and will remain such for years to come. read more

I was at Northstar over the last weekend, and I happened to lost all my important belongings including my wallet and car key there. It was a real bummer. I couldn't go any where since I didn't have neither any money nor car key. I ended up calling Alpine Lock and Key as security people at northstar recommended, and Jacob eventually came over to investigate my car. He patiently listened to my frustrating story, and he tried really hard to help me out. He drove all the way to Reno back and forth to find the right key part for my old car, he professionally and successfully duplicated the key for me, and more than that he even voluntarily loaned me some money for gas and some food.. I would've been still around there without him. I really appreciate his help, and I strongly recommend Alpine Lock and Key to everyone. Super professional, friendly, and reliable as a partner of AAA. Tons of thanks to Jacob once again! read more

I have found another business here in Reno where they truly are the best at what they do. The guys at Alpine helped me out with making some new keys for my truck today. I found the blank fobs online and just needed them cut and programmed to work with my truck. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. This really can be attributed to the owner working with me ahead of time chatting right here on yelp. I was able to get all the information so that when I got there the job was ready to be done. I wish I could remember the guy's name that helped me (had some cool tats) but he was attentive, quick, and professional. My experience with these guys could not have gone any better than it did. For as long as I live in this area, Alpine is my go to locksmith. Thanks guys! read more

Locked myself out of a door and needed to get in, Alpine to the rescue. Then they made a rekeyed it to fit the rest of the locks in the house. All on a Saturday night. Prompt, efficient, and very professional. And a fair price too. Thank you very much James-- I really appreciated your work and like a knight on a horse to my rescue :). Thank you. read more

From the 1st phone call, answered by Justine, to the service call by Jeromi, I was totally impressed by their professionalism, knowledge and responsiveness. There were no surprises with the cost or services promised. Would use again with no hesitation....THANK YOU! read more

Had to write a review for these guys. They really help me out without charging us an arm or a leg. They got me a replacement key with programming for $68.

Alpine arrived on time, did the rekeying of our house locks quickly and charged a very fair price. He even put booties on when he came into our home. I would recommend Alpine to anyone who needs a locksmith. read more
