    Lock core out with cable still locked.
    Steven M.

    Brilliant! What an amazing place for true old fashioned customer service excellence. I was in a really tough spot today (Wednesday, June 11th). The integrated lock on my Kuat bike rack had failed, leaving my bike stuck on my car. I was incredibly stressed out. I went to the Ballard Lock & Key shop, and even though they don't have a formal auto service bay, the gentleman working the counter was kind and professional enough to come right out to the parking lot to take a look. He was brilliant--with a quick, expert touch, he managed to get the stuck lock open in seconds when I had been struggling for hours. This is what real, honest service looks like. I can't recommend Ballard Lock & Key highly enough. Thank you Ballard Lock & Key!

    Great service cutting my Honda fob key replacement. Employee took the time to make a steel practice key (and gave it to me afterwards) before cutting the permanent key just in case the practice key failed. Also gave me the replacement code for my Honda key just in case I needed it in the future. All in all very thoughtful and at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend to friends.

    Simple. Fast. Inexpensive. Useful. Convenient. These are some of my favorite words and I guess you could say Ballard Lock & Key unlocks them all. Right at the top of the stairs at the 2232 NW Market st. building step right up with your key questions or business. I came while the owners - Bob & Christina were present along with their technician who I don't recall his name. He did have a puppy named "Oliver" though so there's that. They're all very friendly and engaging which is always nice especially when it's just errands, you're running. I brought in three keys I wanted spares for. $3 a pop, so $9 which is just the amount I was looking to pay. Bob lamented about his Square pos not working. He spoke about getting it second hand and even when he calls up 'Square' they can't do anything since it's second hand. He laughed about it, which is a nice attitude to have, but understand that annoyance. That said, bring cash. Bring your keys and cross off the need for key copies. They happily told me to come back if there were any issues with the copies. Friendly business owners.

    See all
