They have saved us a few times in the middle of the night after our dog accidentally locked the door! Long story but even at 2 am, they arrived in less than an hour and saved the day! We finally changed the door knob! Thank you! read more

Had a GREAT experience with Claremont Lock & Key today. We needed an auto key cut and were actually having a hard time finding a place that did it. We called a few local places that started calling us again and again after they had quoted us an exorbitant price asking why we weren't using them. We finally found Claremont Lock & Key, they had us come right in, it only took literally one minute, and a very good price! Thank you so much for your help! read more

I needed a couple keys cut for my new place. I found these guys on Yelp and they were pretty nearby. The guy working was very friendly and chatty. He was playing some old-school Jazz vocals: Ella, Louis, etc. which was nice and a bit of a surprise. The keys he cut me were inexpensive and work great. I like to support local mom n pop shops rather than always defer to Home Depot or Ace for things like this. They need the business and you get the personal touch. Will certainly be back if I ever need anything lock-related. read more

$208 just to open one door lock? Not two locks...one....absolute RIP OFF!!!! wear your mask properly next time too [Update] After constant research after months of this BS in incident, I found out they did not even send a worker. The communications/operator sent over some guy he knew the break my door knob and charge me for it. Wow read more

We recently purchased a home and needed the our doors re-keyed. I had the unfortunate experience of calling a horrible fly-by-night place which ended up sending someone out who tried to rip me off by attempting to charge me over $200 for just re-keying two doors. (Don't use 24 hour locksmith, see my other review) I ended up calling Claremont Lock & Key and they sent someone out same day. By the way, Sander's owns Claremont Lock & Key, so don't be confused when someone shows up in a Sander's uniform. Michael was the locksmith that arrived and he was very courteous and efficient, it took him minutes to get the locks re-keyed and only cost us $79, which was exactly what they quoted on the phone. He also gave us some great free pool advice :) read more

When we accidentally locked the keys in our roll top desk they came to our home within an hour. They had it open quickly and efficiently! Great customer service. read more

I had lost my car keys while on the security job. It is the weekend and i do not have a smart phone. I took everything out of my car, checked the patrol car completely. Called Triple A. And they called Lock and Key. He gets there 15 mins early, I open the gate, he creates a key that will start my 2010 Toyota. Triple A pays $60 of $305. I get a second key for $60. Next day I find my original keys. Go to the shop on Monday, shop closed. Go to the shop Tuesday, find that my old keys can be 'added'. Done for free. Good, competent, price as expected except for that last 'free'. read more

Great honest people. I left some old locks to be picked and rekeyed. They did a great job, timely and very reasonable. I had dropped off these locks elsewhere, but others did not have the skill set to get it done. I recommend these guys. read more

This is not the original Claremont Lock & Key (sister company of Sanders Lock & Key). The Yelp page was taken over by someone else. Please be careful of using services. The original Claremont Lock & Key is trying to get it straightened out. If you need service you can use their sister company Sanders Lock & Key. Thank you for your patience as they try to get their page back. read more

Glad to hear that Claremont Lock & Key was under new ownership... even more excited to hear that it is Sander's Towing/Lock & Key from San Dimas. I have been using Sander's ever since I locked my keys in my car on one of my first events I had to host for work. Ever since that fateful day, Sanders has been always there. Now I can use Claremont Lock & Key for my home stuff. Service is awesome... people are awesome. read more

I had my Yamaha motorcycle key blank cut here. It worked perfectly on the first try. Reasonable prices. They work with AAA and cut a lot of motorcycle keys. In fact, it turns out they stock a lot of the motorcycle key blanks, which is rare. Awesome customer service. I would pay them a visit next time I need any key cut. read more

They are very friendly as well as knowledgeable. Not out to make money off charging for unnecessary extras but providing great customer service. Definitely will come back when I need key services. read more

Awful service. Will not recommend. As most locksmith closed earlier on Saturday so I called store first and confirmed it will open till 2pm. I drove all way up and arrived by 1:45pm. But they put close sign while door is still open. The technician onsite refused service while i was just trying to make some keys. We came to locksmith for a reason and shouldn't be treated this way. That's really an awful experience. read more

Marty is the nicest, maybe EVER. I asked him for a quick locksmith service for my mailbox and after looking at one picture told me how much money I would be saving if I just drilled it out. Then I returned, he remembered my whole situation and then walked me step by step through the whole installation. I love any place that goes over and beyond! read more

I called them yesterday and they came out several hours later! Had a front door lock and dead bolt which were not working. They were on time and polite after about 40 minutes the lock and dead bolt were fixed. Thank you for your swift response read more

Wow, Marty sent out his highly knowledgeable tech Michael in a dire time of need and couldn't have been more pleased​. The wife and mother in law left our old truck here and drove back to the Bay Area after the passing of my father in law. On our emotional return, we forgot to bring the keys for the truck. 90° outside and a behemoth of an obstacle is looking us straight in the face taking up the entire garage and blocking the ever so cool entrance of the house through the garage. Called Marty and the boys and they we're out here in what seemed mere seconds (maybe 20 minutes at most), and had the giant keyless monstrosity moved in less than an hour! Hey, if you need the kind of quality service you used to get back in the day, well folks, look no more, you've found your key losing/forgotten woes answered here at Claremont Lock & Key. read more

I agree. I stop by Claremont Lock & Key a few months back when my husband was out of town as I had a door with glass that had a deadbolt but no key. I went in and spoke with Marty asking about on site service and he said he would be happy to provide the service but it would be more cost effective for me to take the lock off and bring it in. I inquired about the recent crime reports, if I had the tools to take it off and he saw the stress on my face about the possibility of spending another night alone with that door unsecure. We arranged for on site service just a few hours after the visit, he fitted keys for the door and charged me a very reasonable fee for on site same day service! I was so happy. I also asked him to check the windows and other doors and he gave me a real education what locks are hard to pop, how to secure them and what was already very secure. I sleep like a baby that night. The cost, the service, the response time, trust and knowledge will keep me a loyal customer ! Doing the right thing will always bring back loyal customers! He is a true Claremont GEM! read more

I replaced a car key. It was 5 minutes in and out and surprisingly affordable. Very nice older man helped me. A tedious headache was made simple and pleasant. read more

Marty was able to open a safe I had that I had long lost the keys to and make two replacement keys for it in no time flat. I was delighted to see what was inside my safe as I was sure there was something I needed for my upcoming granddaughter's wedding I wanted her to see. Yes it was there. Thanks to Marty I now have access to my valuables once again. Thanks Marty. read more

They did an outstanding job replacing my back door! I was very impressed with the workmanship and professional demeanor of their employees. They used my existing hardware to save me some money and to maintain the historic "look" of my home. I would highly recommend using them. read more

I normally wouldn't write such lengthy reviews but I'll make an exception. This was probably the worst locksmith experience I've had. I was charged $112 for a key with a chip only after I was given an ultimatum to choose between this or a $20 alternative in which he was unsure about being able to do successfully without ruining the chip. I had no problem paying for it, but it was the fact I was almost coerced into it anyway. Someone with the amount of credentials on the wall should be able to perform such a task with no problem. Completely dishonest and terrible sales tactics. Would not recommend to anyone. By the way, Lowes does even faster and for a fraction of the cost. read more

I locked my keys in my trunk like a dumb ass. I was in need of something fast and cheap bc I'm a graduate student and I'm in the process of moving. The guy came, got my info and unlocked my car. Other than being embarrassed everything went quite well. Thank you! read more

The gentleman working today was very helpful! He fixed my lock and took time to explain it!!

Everyone I called on Monday morning for key services. Not realizing key shop is closed, but I spoke with TAMMY. I explained the issue with my car key, and she explained that I would have to call AAA and request for the shop to do the key service. AAA called CLAREMONT KEY for service and TAMMY then tells them the opposite. My mouth drops to the floor, I call the shop,and she answered the phone. I explained to her exactly what she informed to do and she tells me she never spoke or had a conversation regarding key service. She then puts me on hold,when she returns back she tells me THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH ME REGARDING KEY SERVICE the day before. I reacted strongly in my tone,THEN SHE HANGS UP ON ME. As a CONSUMER,I don't expect to be lied to or be given wrong information. In the past I've had great service with MARTY. It's a shame that they let a great and knowledgeable employee go. VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My Wife and I own a property management and investment firm in Glendora. I couldn't make it to a lock out on an eviction one day and they met the Sheriff in my place and took care of everything. I know they aren't supposed to do that, they are just supposed to change the locks. They have always gone above and beyond. The pride of workmanship and ethics that we used to remember in the old days exists at Claremont Lock & Key. We own and manage a large inventory of properties and we would never think of using anyone else. read more

We were burglarized and they stole our house keys and car keys. Claremont Lock & Key said they would be out in 1 to 1.5 hours. They were out in 15 mins.! They were so helpful and gave us the forms for insurance. They fixed my car keys so they work with the alarm and gave me a cool old-fashioned housekey that looks just like my old one. Really nice and really helpful. read more

Great service. I have my locks Re-keyed today. I got a window when they would come and I got a call when he was on the way. Service was fast. read more

Thank you Claremont Lock and Key. Marty is always so professional along with Being so helpful and fast. So nice to have a great service so close. read more

I called them at 3am after I locked myself out of our house I just purchased. They answered on the 2nd ring. No one else would! They dispatched a locksmith to be there within the hour. I called back 45 min later to cancel. They were cool about it! That's a business that cares more about building a relationship than gouging when they could. Highly recommend! Great service even at 3am!!! read more

Needed key cut for my 2005 Chrysler 300 C. Super helpful and diagnosed what was wrong with one of my key fobs. Very reasonable prices and I would highly recommend them. read more

I am somewhat new to Claremont and when I read of some of the recent break ins in the Courier, I went to Claremont lock and key to ask about getting a key made for a side door that I could not find the key for. The person there explained it would be more affordable to me to bring in the dead bolt lock for a fit and I decided my husband would be bettter to do that task. When the person saw my concern and that I mentioned my husband was out of town for a week, he asked to meet me at my home a few hours later in the day and fitted the key for my lock right on site. Within 30 minutes, I had that door secure with extra keys made at a very affordable price. He also educated me on a few windows that were not as secure as I thought. I was able to sleep that night with no worries. I highly recommend Claremont Lock and Key as a trusted and affordable resource to keep your home safe. THey are good people! read more

I went to the local Toyota dealer to see about getting another master key made for a used Corolla I had bought somewhere else that only came with one key. They wanted close to $400 for it, which seemed pretty ridiculous to me. I stopped by Claremont Lock & Key and after chatting with Marty for a few min. I decided to buy a blank key online and have Marty cut and program it for me. Got the blank a week later and it took Marty all of 20 min. to cut and program it. He saved me hundreds of dollars and his work was nothing short of spectacular. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you Marty. read more

Had five locks at my new home re-keyed yesterday. Carlos was awesome, worked quickly for a reasonable charge. Told my Realtor always to recommend Claremont Lock and Key. Am extremely pleased. read more

My front door assembly came loose, & I couldn't figure it out. The very nice serviceman (whose name I didn't get--sorry) showed me how it worked, and it was such an instant no-brainer for him that he didn't even charge us. My new go-to lock & key service! read more

Just off the phone w/ dispatch, asking questions about pricing, and he was dismissive "you need to call during the day"...yikes!

I had a key cut and programmed for my car. Key works great. Excellent service and very reasonably priced.

I gave him a totally worn down key and he worked his magic making me a new one. :-) Not sure what his name was, but I appreciate it!
