I own a 2005 Lotus Elise. So, unusual car and key blanks are a problem. I got two blanks and went in to have them cut. These guys did a great job, multiple test fits, and charged $8.68. Gave them a $20 tip and am happy to give this feedback. read more

I cannot give this place enough high marks. We were given only one keyfob when we bought a vehicle. Jeep wanted to charge us close to $600 for an additional one because this year/model has to be programmed professionally. Since we were only in the area few days, I had ordered an extra one online. It seemed all the locksmiths would take longer to order. Took the keyfob to Curly's on 164th and it was done in about a half an hour and our fee for programming the keyfob and making the additional key was $135!!! He was pleasant, friendly and extremely efficient. I would highly recommend! Great business!! read more

I've been in this curly's lock and key dozens of times and they're always five stars. Knowledge skills and abilities beyond expectations they can explain what the situation is resolve almost anything and have great prices to boot. read more

I needed a replacement key fob programmed (bought the fob myself on Amazon for $20) and started calling around Vancouver to get it done. The prices were all over the place--dealership quoted me around $350, and most locksmiths wanted $100 or more, often with a wait of several days to get in. Then I found Curly's, and they quoted me just $50. Honestly, I figured there had to be a catch, since everyone else made it sound like a big, time-consuming job. But nope--walked in, the guy had it done in about 5 minutes, and I was out the door. No appointment, no hassle. Key fob works perfectly. Super happy with the service and price. Highly recommend checking them out before you spend a fortune elsewhere. read more

Great service always willing to go out of their way to help a customer in need . I Would recommend them

I've recently had to make several copies of house and internal door keys for house-sitters, as well as sons now old and trustworthy enough to be left alone for short periods of time. Each time, I've been in and out of Curly's in less than five minutes, with perfectly cut copies, ready for use, without any issues whatsoever, for a couple bucks each. Their staff is helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. I'll never use Walmart, Fred Meyer, or other big box store's key duplicator services, or one of those dumb, automated kiosks ever again, after my recent experiences here. Every key I've ever had copied elsewhere has run in to some sort of problem, and apparently, I've been paying too much for crappy service. Save yourself the frustration, and just come here first, because Curly's has everything you need for anything related to locks, keys, and related accessories. read more

See all

One fellow working there was fine, the guy who tried to match my keyfob to new care was just plain rude. I refeerred my wife to them hjust before that and same guy was rude to her too! Didn't know that til I came back today. Battreries PLus found what I needed. read more

Curly's came thru for me when no one else did. I had a stripped key that wouldn't turn in the ignition, called some other guy and he wanted to charge me $250 to drive out and service my car. So I called Curly's instead and Matt told me to come in with the key code from the dealer and then he cut 3 new keys for only $25. Super fast, super professional, super cheap. Saved my life and my bank account. Unrelated but Matt should start a secondary career as an audiobook narrator read more

The best bar none. Had keys and Bob made for my house and car. They were quick friendly and a great value. The dealership wanted 30 dollars more for the key. Bob. Great read more

I highly recommend Curly's luck and key. Matt the manager is the first lock smith I have ever seen take a blank key and by feeling that blank and take a file and cut a working key. He really knows his business, read more

This business needs to go away, talk about a crappy attitude walking there and ask about a key that goes underneath a seat of a car and he gives me all kinds of attitude that he doesn't work on these types of blocks. He didn't even want to take a look at it. He just said because it was a Mercedes, he doesn't touch it. He needs to go find another job somewhere else. That has a better attitude towards the public. I would fire his lousy ass read more

My experience was an excellent one! Old fashioned great customer service. Makes me feel good to support a local business. read more

I, my wife, and several of our friends have used Curly's services for many [15+] years for several reasons and have ALWAYS been most pleased with the work, prices, friendly and highly knowledgeable staff, and quick fixes. Never been dissatisfied. Fast to understand the customers desires/needs. Staff offer ideas and remedies that will fix situation at lower costs than expected. I recommend Curly's to folks that need lock/key services. Will continue to bring work to this great, local business. read more

simply the best. going to curlys over 30 years . even made me a key for my 1958 ghia. Thanks guys Daran Wilson read more

Thank goodness for a well equipped and upright shop to meet all of our lock and key needs! I am a realtor and frequently need to make key copies. This place has a greater selection of unique keys than any other local hardware store. Just today we were trying to figure out how to replace my son's lost car keys. We called Curleys and the man gave us directions on how to get the proper key code from the dealer, then he helped us produce working copies of the chip key and door key for an affordable price. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

We found the staff to be incredibly rude and unprofessional. It was disappointing to have such behavior displayed in front of my children. Quite appallingly. We will be taking our business elsewhere. read more

We use Curly's for all our key needs. Replacement keys for vehicles and locks at a community park. We received a truck bed tool box off a Buy Nothing site, but didn't have a key to the locks. We were in and out with new keys in 10 minutes. read more

We consistently appreciate the customer service & quality Curley's provides. They are the ONLY place we will get keys made...because they never mess up. read more

Matt has taken care with my automotive key needs on several occasions with the best pricing.

First time at Curly"s on 164th. Young man who helped me was kind, friendly, patient, and incredibly calm with three customers lined up! I will go here for all future lock and key needs! read more

I have now used Curly's 4 different times. Never Again. My first experience was fine I had a key cut from code. It was very costly, over four times what I could have ordered the key from the manufacturer for if I remember correctly. Key worked fine. It was just very costly. My second experience was not as good. I took a glove box key in to get re-keyed. I also took the key I wanted it keyed to. They broke the lock. Somehow it was my fault. It's still broken as I have not found a replacement. What ever you do remember the Curly's staff is always right, not the customer. Imagine asking that I pay them for breaking my lock. They said that if I didn't pay I could not have the broken lock back. The lock still opened the glove box but would no longer lock so I reluctantly paid. The third time my wife dropped by with a key that is a very common RV key. It is readily available at any RV shop, from ebay or amazon, and many many other places on the internet. We just happened to need it right away so she went co Curley's. After much attitude from the employee working she left. She went to Advanced RV Center where she bought the key for $3.50. Far less than the $25.00 plus she was quoted at Curley's because they were going to require here to buy the lock to get the key. Ah, our fourth trip involved the police when the employee lunged over the counter to grab a lock I picked up that they re-keyed but I had not yet paid for. I guess you don't get to make sure it works before you pay for it. Never Again. read more

Had my ignition key snapped in half they were still able to copy it and it worked perfectly... And they still charge normal price, Under five dollars. Super nice great customer service quick and easy out the door!! read more

There were two men working the counter the day I went in. One was professional, courteous and adept at his job. The other was obnoxious and snarky, and when asked a simple question, responded very sarcastically. For some background, my glasses fog up whenever I wear a mask indoors, and I can't see small writing well without glasses...which I had to remove and were on a chain around my neck after entering the store. I'm a USMC combat veteran with PTSD, anger issues and a service dog to help me manage it. My tolerance for rudeness is extremely low on my best day, and nonexistent on normal ones. My question was related to key color caps, as there were about 10 small boxes with various shapes and sizes and colors, in two rows with no apparent labels or identifiers. I simply asked which color cap was the appropriate one for the duplicate keys I was making. He responded "the medium one". I said "there are 10 boxes in no particular order that I can see, or any labels that I can read. So which are the medium ones?" He rudely stared at me and said "the ones between the large and the small", yet still refused to point out which of those 10 jumbled boxes were the ones needed for my particular keys. read more

Went to Curly's with a gas cap cover lock that was jammed. The tech, a blond girl wise beyond her years on the art of locksmithing found the problem and quickly repaired the lock. And to my suprize, no charge for the repair. Curly's is the go to place for a locksmith ! read more

10 years ago I used Curly's to rekey the locks on my new home. It was a wonderful experience. August of this year I called on them for the same thing in the new home I had moved to. An elderly gentleman came out and did the rekey. When he left one of the lever door handles did not work properly. When I called them they sent him back out. His response was that it works by pulling up so just use it that way and to walk away. Today the front door would not work with the key without a lot of jiggling and working the key. Time for a new locksmith. read more

Every time I go to Curley's I get what I want or fixing problems get solved right away. The staff is friendly and professional. For locks and keys go to Curley's. read more

Never, Never Again. Surly attitude from the other side of the counter. Did not have mailbox locks in stock but was told shipment would arrive in two days. Called them two days later. No shipment. Called a week later. Still no shipment. Promised to call me when locks arrived; as of today, it's been a month. Went to local hardware store and they were well stocked for a lower price. Enough said! Online gets same locks for 2/3 the price without sales tax and they're delivered to your door in 48 hours. No more Surly Curly for me. read more

I went in after reading the reviews with some apprehension, but I figured between them and Fred Meyer I would try the small business. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, both employees greeted me and while one gentleman was finishing work on a computer and the other was helping someone else, they both made sure I knew I was there and they weren't surly about it. The gentleman who helped me noticed my derp brother was having me copy a key twice instead of copying the two different keys I needed, and did not make me feel like a moron about it. He was quick and polite, including my drive there I was only away from work 15 minutes and had 4 keys made, which probably work better than the crapshoot that is Fred Meyer locksmith. So idk who everyone else was dealing with, but the guys at the location were friendly and helpful! read more

If I could choose zero stars, I would! I needed a key for my car that was stuck in my driveway without a way to get it to the locksmith. I would have gone straight to infinity, but the cost to tow it would have been too much. So I called the local guys. So much for local guys being honest! Not only were they late, but they charged me more than they quoted, and they didn't bring the second set of keys I requested. Granted the overcharge was only $25, but considering I paid $140 extra to have them come to my home (less than 2 miles from their shop), and that they were late and didn't bring the extra key, you would think that a $25 additional service charge would be an easy thing to waive. Now if I want my other key, I have to make time to go to their shop and most likely overpay for the second key as well. I guarantee you they won't pay me $140 for my time that would be wasted by going to see them again! I am very frustrated and I will never use them again! Please, if you need a locksmith, there are plenty of others in the area!!! Don't use these guys. I wish I would have checked their reviews on here before I picked up the phone! read more

Just like everyone else said- this place was incredibly quick. It really took less than 5 minutes, and the hold up was because I couldn't decide which kind of design I wanted on my personalized house key! Great prices, great experience. I am very happy with my house key that has puppies on it. :) Follow up: The keys given ruined our lock and we had to replace the entire thing... so that was a bummer. Not sure it was because of the new keys or just a coincidence though. read more

I had no issues with service today. The attendant working was friendly and fast at making the keys I needed. I was I in and out within 3 minutes. I would recommend this shop based on my experience today. read more

I don't normally do negative reviews I normally just don't go back to that business again. but one of the things that I don't like is when I enter a business and I get told a price whether it be an estimate or not. then the next gentleman that comes out and tells me it's $40 per remote and just does not have great customer service I won't go back. Sad cause when I worked in the area and Darrell was the tech there I brought a lot of business to them. I don't expect anything for it but I think charging different prices to customers just cause you want to is bad business. I miss Darrell !!!! read more

Have been a customer for years. Last year had a lock set installed on double doors. Service tech was not real experienced, lock was damaged, asked him to make sure it was all set up, and I could replace when the new part came in. Well guess what, he didn't. Now I have a problem. Called company, yea right, not happy. Never using them again. read more

I've never done a negative review but this company needs to work on their customer service skills. The gentleman who answered the phone was very rude and seemed to be bothered by me calling. read more

This is an excellent place to get keys made. There have been several times that I had keys made & they didn't work. Matt helped me & he was very nice & did a great job. A friend recommended Curlys cuz she too had a problem getting keys correctly made. They can make car keyes too! Thank you for the excellent service ;);) read more

I love these guys! I've been locking my keys in my car since before I had either keys or a car and they have been my go-to folks. Since they are a AAA vendor, it makes it very convenient for me. Their techs are always personable and professional and I am really glad they are around, and it has never taken them more than 30 minutes to get to me anywhere in the county. No, they don't have a frequent user club. Yes, I asked. read more

If you want a quality key made quickly, this is the place. You will likely meet yourself coming out on your way in. AND today I learned they do Car key batteries - $4.99 installed. (Probably $30 at the dealer). Lastly, they work every time. I have purchased at least 10 keys here in the last year and never had to go back because it didn't work (like has happened elsewhere) read more

This guy's is super nice and helpful. I had a really weird doorknob that needed a special tool to remove that nobody locally seemed to carry. This guy dug around his shop and found the tool that would work, and gave me a hand. read more

I went to this shop today to have them cut a couple of GMC keyblanks I had received for my 2008 Yukon Denali. I was told by a young man there that because they are transponder keys, if they miscut them, they wouldn't be responsible. When I asked why they might miscut them there was another guy there, I assume the owner, and he started shouting at me and cussing me out with language I would never choose to use on someone. He shouted for me to get out of his shop and then called me a "CS" which I'm sure most of you can decipher. It took everything in me to keep from jumping over the counter in anger but instead I walked out and will never bring any business to them, ever again!!! NEVER AGAIN! read more

A looong wait for service, the guy, or guys, are generally pretty knowledgeable. Prices are outta sight though! I was quoted $60 apiece for a blank Ford key, and they're for sale all over Ebay for 5 to 10 dollars each. Can't wait to see what programming costs. But, sometimes you have to have things right away and ending paying The Price. read more
