I had a great experience at Art's Key and Lock after having issues with car key. In addition, I made duplicates of my house keys. First,I went to the Honda dealership and they said they were unable to transfer my chip to a new one key that was not falling apart with out creating completely new chip. Luckily I went here because he was able to get the job done and at a good price. It works just like new! Thanks, I'll be coming back for all my my key and lock needs. read more

If you want bad attitude, Chris has plenty to spare. First time, he goofed up my auto remote while "installing" a battery. Said it was defective. I had to use his screwdriver to put parts back into place and close the remote. I asked for a discount, got regular price. Next, I was on the way to the airport with no time to find another lock and key shop. Needed another battery. I moved about one step closer to the repair bench, still at the front counter. Chris became a screaming mess. I told him I just wanted to watch since it did not go well last time. He yelled not to take out on him a problem with someone else. I said the previous problem was with him and asked him to settle down. He kept yelling he was not the one from before, that it was a simple job, two screws ... During the entire transaction he was yelling at me. Shop has a good reputation and I have to say I have had dealings with the owner. He is nice. But Chris has to go. read more

Art is the best there is in the biz..He is your No 1 guy to go for in the lock & key biz...

I needed a few copies of a key for my new apartment. After getting the copies, I brought them back to my place to discover that none of them worked. I brought them back and he took a closer look using various tools and filed them down to ensure that my copies were as close as possible to the original. He also promised to give me a full refund if after he was done with them they still didn't work. That wasn't necessary because after bringing them back to my place they all worked great! My keys are probably several generations removed from the originals and only a top notch locksmith like this place probably would have been able to make a usable copy. read more

In town for a short overnight visit and managed to lose my keys in the sand. Even with a metal detector, no luck...so we called Art's to come help. Their service guy was at the hotel in a matter of thirty minutes and had our car open in seconds. He cut new keys (the kind with the code buttons on top of it that open the trunk and doors and stuff) in less than an hour including a new key to my briefcase that held my presentation for a meeting later that afternoon. Very reasonable! If we ever need keys in the LA area again, I'm absolutely going to call on Art's. Good job...well done! read more
