After self-installing a smart-doorlock, I accidentally locked myself out on a weekend. I called a couple of local locksmiths and found this fantastic company. Jorge gave me the option of coming out later that day. When he promptly arrived, he quickly assessed the situation and recommended changing the key to match the rest of our home's exterior locks. He got to work and was researching whether or not my specific lock was able to be rekeyed. The information on the lock vendor's website was not thorough and explicit as to whether or not that model could be rekeyed. After about an hour of troubleshooting , Jorge eventually came to the conclusion that we could not rekey. He apologized for any inconvenience and only charged me for the unlock service. A few days later, he messaged back to let me know he called the manufacturer's technical support and verified that our specific model is, in fact, not able to be rekeyed. Jorge went above and beyond. Not sure if it was driven by curiosity or just doing a complete job for his clients. Regardless, it was an exceptional customer service experience and I wish there were more Jorge's providing services. read more

Contacted a couple lock places and Andersen's was quick on response and understanding the issue with the door lock on a French door. They were upfront with pricing to come out and after sending photos of the door lock, they called to discuss how this door/lock works and what it could potential entail - so there would be no surprises. They showed up the next day at our requested time and worked on the lock, seemed knowledgeable and provided suggestions on how the door, not the lock, should also be adjusted. The locks is now working smoother. read more

We had tried several places before we called Anderson to get a separate key for a rental van we were driving across the country with our pets. We had gotten permission from the rental company to make a duplicate key, but no one seemed to have the correct blank which fit our needs. We only needed a key to lock and unlock the door so we could leave the AC running for our pets if we stopped to eat. They had the blank in stock at a reasonable price.I highly recommend them. They are experts at their job. read more

We had Chris change a couple of locks in our home and found the work done well, fast, and at a reasonable cost. Service was friendly.

First Class, none better. Andersens is one of two traditional locksmiths left in Monterey-Salinas, while the rest work out of there vans and charge exorbitant fees just to show up focusing on auto/property lock-outs, they have you in a pickle. Not Andersens, I called spoke to George Monday evening after 5P, George sent a tech who showed up on-time the following day and rekeyed 10 doors. No hidden or expedited charges, fast courteous and professional as you would expect from a buisness that has been in Salinas since 1946. Do youself a favor, call the professionals, call Andersens, call them now and get on with your day, life is too short to waste on bad service. read more

If you are looking to get ripped off then this is the place to go! I walked in to get an additional spare key made for my car. Everything seemed okay at first. The girl who helped me at first told me they could make it no problem. After I had waited around for 15 minutes and my own key was held in the back room where the other key was at the male clerk told me it was 200$ for the key. I said ok. I will take just one. Not once did anyone mention that the car had to be present to make a copy of the key that worked. When the key was cut and ready, then they told me I would have to pay for the key and come back later to have it set up to work with the car!! $218 dollars and a return visit without even a smile or a pleasant greeting. Forty minutes of my life wasted and then I had to come back for a return visit. Next time I will go down town and use the other locksmith in town. read more

Honesty. Professional locksmith. I needed my door unlocked. He came, was very friendly. I fully recommend Chris. I rate him 5 out of 5!

This review is long overdue.. After having my FOB tested (twice) I was told by separate vendors (automall's dealership and other) "your FOB is water damaged." I took it upon myself to order one (fob) through Amazon and watched several videos on DIY programming only to realize I needed a separate whatchamacallit gizmo.. I called multiple local locksmiths and began to compare prices. *A competitor's locksmith employee recommended Andersen's to me because of their stationed main location and major price difference. I called Andersen's and was told I would be in and out within a matter of minutes of minutes. I took their word and went in on my lunch break one day a few weeks ago. I am beyond glad I went in when I did. I believe staff's name who helped me in person was named Mike ? [I'm sorry I didn't write this sooner; I usually don't write reviews (ever)]. I was told cost would be a little over $100 which was half (or more) of what other competitors' price. I was beyond pleased with honesty and quality of service I received. Turned out all I needed was a new battery for my FOB I saved myself $90+ dollars that day. Left the guys a tip because this. I will pass on the good word, always. When in need of a mobile/stationed locksmith, Andersen's Lock & Safe is company you can count on! (: read more
