They always have the keys that other hardware stores and or Home Depot can't make. Friendly service and easy parking.

I wanted two copies made of the key to our '97 Dodge Roadtrek, which seemed easy enough and which he had blanks of. The first thing that made me stop in my tracks was a sign that said "no debit or credit cards accepted for keys made." WTH is this! Nowadays businesses accept all types of payment! And when I asked about programming a key fob for our Subaru, he said "it'll start at $250, because I'll have to use special equipment." I told him that almost what the dealer would charge! I thought that patronizing him as a small business would be good, but the attitude was not worth patronizing. There are lots of other key makers in our area. read more

Great customer service. Reasonably priced. Next time I need a locksmith this is where I will go.

Ii's nice today to have an individual business that does one thing and does it very well. I needed a key copied for a 55 year old car. It was done correctly and quickly. (Even specialized car parts stores didn't stock the blank. Since returned for another. Caveat: call ahead to make sure they're there. Sometimes there are unplanned service calls. NB. read more

Yvette was very professional and handling my request to make two keys for an older key to a locker. She gave me good advice on how to work the key through the lock to prevent it being jammed which I appreciated. When I went to use the key in the lock, it actually worked better than previous keys so I was very well satisfied with the service I would recommend this place to others and was glad that I went there read more

Perfection in a locksmith! You won't find a better locksmith, or a better deal when you need a replacement motorcycle key. $5.00 and 12 minutes later and I am walking out the door with a perfectly cut and smoothly working key for my Kawasaki Ninja. Thank you Daly City Locksmith! #Two #Wheel #Motorcycle #Riding #Heaven #West #Coast #California #Spring #Coastal #Life read more

See all

Great customer service by Yvette. She gave me great. Hope that my 60 year old door lock would be fine with just a new key made. She was absolutely right thank you again. read more

I went in to have some key copies made. They are cash only, Not a problem i walked down to Walgreens got cash back & went back. I was still short but the gentleman helping me was very nice & was able to let me slide. No one does that now a days. Thank you for your experience & customer service! They have tons of products from cool keys to lanyards & different door knobs. read more

Attitude and no care for customer. Avoid at all cost. Charged 25 for a key that took 5 mins to cut, because first time I went was a little frustrated they could not remove a locking hitch pin. My auto guy cut it off with a circular cutting tool in 5 mins. read more

A little pricey and while you wait service on a simple job wasn't available, but the quality was good.

I went in today to get a few copies of my house keys made. This is the closest locksmith to my house and I was pressed for time. Upon entering the business I was told to hold on a minute by an employee behind the counter. There where no customers in the building and maybe three employees. While waiting for my keys to get cut I noticed a small sign that said no credit or debit accepted... I asked the employee if the policy was true and I got a very annoyed response.. I ended up walking two blocks to an ATM and pulled some cash out. When I came back I was helped by another employee. I asked what the process was if the keys did not work.. She very aggressively replied that my keys where not originals but duplicates and that they just go over them. She got even more angry when I asked her to answer my question instead of blaming the keys I brought in. I was met with more aggression and deflection.. I paid for my keys and left. Two stars because the keys actually worked Next time I'll go anywhere else. read more

I had my locks changed today by Daly City Locksmith, and I highly recommend this company. The total bill was quite reasonable. I had called and emailed with them before today's service. They were always very quick to respond and were thorough in their communication. They had asked me to email them our locks and keys prior to today's appointment to ensure that it would go smoothly. The man who came to my house was very friendly and professional. It was clear that he knew a lot about his line of work. He explained every step of the process to me, and I felt very comfortable with everything he explained. read more

Very welcoming lady Help me in no time Please wear a mask All The Time !!! No exceptions read more

Came in a few weeks ago because Home Depot at Westlake Shopping Plaza couldn't cut our key for an old desk drawer. Jay was very friendly & professional. I asked about Off Hour Services, hope I never need it. Before he gave his his card, he informed to my Wife & I to be aware that a lot Scammers. They would advertise about low price, but when the Locksmith gets there, they switch the price. And who knows they won't make another key for themselves. Jay told us he needs to get fingerprinted with Bureau. Don't always trust yelp* & Yellow Pages, they just want money, they'll advertise anything & anyone as long as they get paid. read more

I asked DC lock to help some tenants out when their two locks and gate were damaged at 7pm. Luckily for me they have emergency lock service and a fully stocked truck. They were able to go to their store and bring over the replacement gate strikes that were also destroyed. Mike and Jay both locksmiths came over in 45 minutes. They arrived at 10:30pm and finished in an hour. With so many break ins in the city from kicked in doors, pry bar attacks, a locksmith maybe booked out for a couple of days. It was worth the extra service charges to have the tenants property secured. They also had to bend the gate back in different locations to make it straight to correct the damage that was done. Because I had two locksmiths there it reduced the trip time to one hour otherwise it would have been two hours or more for one locksmith. The tenants were happy the property was secured the same evening. If your doors and gates are not straight and plumb it will not close properly. The next day as as thank you to them, I brought Memphis Minnie's to their store in Daly City. I hope they enjoyed the Wednesday special of Ruben sandwiches and a full rack of ribs. DC Lock is the A team for locks if you want quality. read more

Class act. My wife and I locked ourselves out on a very rainy Saturday night, and this awesome guy not only agreed to drive down the peninsula to meet us in Burlingame on short notice, but when our neighbors let us use their balcony to get inside, he told us the only thing that mattered was that we got home safe when we called to let him know (he was almost there, too). He didn't charge us anything! No cancellation fee, no gas money, nothing - how fantastic is that? I'll call on these folks any time I need a locksmith or keys from now on, because I know I'll be dealing with nice, dedicated people. Way to go, guys. read more

I purchased a Cal Royal lock from Daly City Locksmith about 6 months ago. Nearly a month ago it broke, and the key would turn 360* inside the lockset/cylinder without opening the front door. I finally managed to make it over to their store today and the helpful attendant was able to diagnose and fix the issue with the lock in just 5 minutes. I deeply appreciate their willingness to help fix the lock, as it wasn't very old. When I originally purchased the lock, the younger man spent 5-10 minutes with me determining which lock would best fit our situation. I hope they have loads of success into the future. read more

DC locksmiths is amazing, Yvette is a total doll. She knows her shit and makes sure you understand how and what to do to test your freshly cut keys. I called Yvette on the phone before I came in because I was having an issue matching a blank (apparently it's pretty rare nowadays) and she was able to find the proper blank within seconds. I told her that I would be in that day and when I arrived she already had pulled the blank and was ready to cut the key. I needed her to cut two of them so she pulled a second one with a direct efficiency that was impressive, the speed at which she cut and polished the new keys shows her years of experience. Yvette, thank you so much for your fast, friendly, and positive locksmithing experience, I will definitely return here for all my locksmithing and key duplicating needs. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Five stars!!!!!!!!!!!! Each and every visit has been awesome. Great customer service. I should have asked for a name. The lady is always pleasant, friendly and efficient. She goes above and beyond. I have several keys made and have visited other locksmiths in the past, but I can truly say that DC Locksmith is my favorite place. I appreciate the excellent customer service and attention to every detail. When I walk out of there my keys are matched and color coded. I don't have to guess or figure the correct key for each lock. And, the keys always work. I have placed several orders of two to three sets for the gate, front door and units. Keys are cut, matched to originals, color coded and assembled. The prices are reasonable with great selections. Thank you for the awesome customer service and pleasant conversations. Karen read more

Great locksmith company! Excellent customer service. I have a very complex situation with multiple locks, different keys. The folks here were able to get me keyed on a single key and give me some great advice on door locks and a security gate. Highly recommend, great local business!!!!! Thank you! read more

If you need any type of NEW service for cars, DON"T even bother. These guys can't read a handbook. Came in with a transponder key for my car, because it took them 3 weeks to order me one and it never came. Had to order myself. Then they had no clue on how to re program. If you need simple things done at expensive rates, go there. If you want a shop that's not stuck in the 60's go somewhere else. read more

I only use DC Locksmith and Mike came out for me in an emergency situation. I learned a lot from him in 15 mins. Definitely will recommend them to all my real estate agents colleagues and clients! Thanks again Mike for making it happen and teaching me more than a thing or 2. #supportlocalbusiness read more

DC Locksmith was awesome! They helped us out with no problem and saved us alot of money. Great customer service and friendly staff. Thanks from the team at 24 Hour Fitness Alemany! read more

I came in with an odd lock planning to replace it (the big orange stood didn't carry it). I was expecting it to be around $150. The gentleman working there checked it out, cleaned and lubed it and sent me out with a new lock cylinder (total was less than $20). He even threw in a new beauty ring for free. Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional (unlike most locksmiths). I'll be bringing my future business here. read more

I was looking all over Google for a place nearby that made keys with cute designs to help distinguish my keys. I was about to order online from the keys app but their designs were ugly. I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp. They have a lot of cute designs to choose from: 49ers, Star Wars, Margarita, Rose, and Hello Kitty. (About $5 a key depends on design, still cheaper than keys app) They were super fast and there's a couple chairs to sit and wait. I just tested the keys and they all worked fine. read more

Daly City Locksmith & Security Service - Kawaii Keys - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Daly City, California

Had a bad back door lock-our weather rusts everything REALLY fast because of the salt air in Daly City. We ordered a beautiful, top of the line set and Yvette, Mike & Jay held our hand through the whole process. Jay installed it & did a beautiful job. It's been working effortlessly for two years now! Highly recommend their professionalism. We use their duplication of keys for homes my husband lists as a Realtor as well & always refer them to our clients for when they move-in for a lock change. You can't go wrong-they have great knowledge & deserve great business! read more

Lost my house keys-lucky me, someone was home to let me in. Thought Home Depot Colma, 0639 would provide a quick fix. However, Kwikset no longer makes this type of deadbolt. The first hardware associate suggested to enlarge the door hole (not a good solution). The second hardware associate named 'Wes' said 're-key the dead bolt' and suggested 'Daly City Locksmith of Daly City, CA'. Upon arrival, Yvette Sink accessed the deadbolt and gave me a great price for re-keying and two new brass keys. I explained how quickly I needed the work done, because of leaving town. Immediately, Yvette and her professional staff dropped what they were doing and went to work on my deadbolt. Even though I was sweating bolts, the staff worked quietly and diligently to finish my dead bolt. By accident, I lost one of the long stem screws and they fished a spare out of their scrape pile. Yvette and her staff cut it down to size and I was again out the door in time to make my travel plans. I highly recommend Yvette Sink and her Staff. They are professional under stress and provide excellent customer service. I highly recommend their services and will contact them for all my lock and key needs. Thank you ! PS (Meter) Parking is available on the street. read more

The key to my vehicle broke off in the door last night. It was dark and so I called Daly City Locksmith at 0630 the next morning and spoke to Jay. He spoke to me like he knew what he was doing and assured me that he would call me at 0830 when his shop opened. At 0830 called as promised, he was on the phone with me checking the numbers and make of the car. Then within 15 minutes he pulled up in front of my garage with his van and after a hand shake started working on my problem. He was professional and went about pulling the broken key out of the car. Then he went into his van that contained a complete workshop and made me a brand new key that was better than the key that failed me. I was saved because the only spare key to that car was in 800 miles away in souther California. Thank you Jay and thank you Daly City Locksmiths. This business is professional in every way possible. I am a Vietnam Vet. and i know what it's like to have your ass in a tight spot and it's nice to know that there are professionals around to get your ass out of that tight spot. So when you are in a tight spot and you need help; I suggest that you call these guys. It's simple; Daly City Locksmiths rank right there on the top and Jay Larson is a Top Gun locksmith. Thank again Jay. You saved the day. read more

I went there for two rekeys, cost: $40. I know this was a rip. They appeared to be so "nice"

this is a small joint in dc that does the job. not too far from top of the hill. 1st time i came here the guy was super groucy.. this is years ago so, i don't even remember the experience play-by-play, but i do remember him getting all bitchy and telling me to take the key off the ring. nonetheless he did the job. but i don't expect superb customer service @ a locksmith, maybe just a smile will do. another time i came in w/the bf. had my keys cut by this awsome native indian woman. i just liked her spirit. she was rad, spunky, and tough. i mean i'm sure she can work just as hard as a man, if not more! she was kind enough to take the keys off the key ring, told me not to worry about messing up my manicure... girls just get it. she was straight up and legit too.. the bf needed some key duplicated, but she said that it was a special one that she couldn't do. said she they could get fined doing that. that being said, if you can trust someone who doesn't want to make an easy buck, you can trust them cutting your house/car keys... [especially if u were to make a payment w/your cc.. w/all the technology you never know who's hacking where, and what they know.. next thing you know, all your valuables in the house and car is gone.. okay so my mind likes to wander, so!] read more

I was in a bind, after using another place to re-key a lock and to make copies of keys. They could not do either correctly. I came here to Daly City Locksmith and instantly the customer skills, the knowledge and experience was apparent. They fixed my lock and I was back in business. Will never go to any other place for my lock and key needs. This place and its staff was incredible !! read more

DC locks is great!! They came out to help me after my keys had been stolen. Therye so nice. I would totally recommend this place!! Yvette , ' the counter person' , is so sweet and a very gentle spirit. Yvette knows her job and does it well! read more

The best place for key. I make here my auto key after I check couple places like Home Depot(and they don't have VW Golf key) thanks

Fast service. Walked in and they took car of my lock. Very reasonable prices. Lots of street parking right in front of shop.

Our visit today to resolve a key issue could not have gone better. Went with an older friend who requires a lot of tlc. Yvette was professional, patient, and so kind. How often do you get that kind of service? read more

There used to be a locksmith shop in nearly every neighborhood where you could take a troublesome lock for service or get an obscure key made. I had the notion that they were mostly World War II vets who learned their craft in the military or on the G.I. Bill. Now they're gone, replaced by portable locksmiths who will come to your house to work on your locks. It's not the same. Thank goodness Daly City Locksmith is still there, and it looks like it's not going anywhere. read more

I went there to cut a car key. The guy quoted a high price ($15 each) and was rude and said there was no refund if key doesn't work. Should have walked but I didn't. The key cut didn't work and another staff, a nice lady, asked me to come back next day to fix it. I bought them another unused original the next day. They couldn't fix my blank so they cut on their own blank with another machine. That didn't work either and they said they were out of blanks. I order more blanks myself and went to a different place on Mission (Mario's). The lady there cut all 5 blanks without missing a beat, all worked perfectly, at 1/3 the price. So you have been warned, Daly City Locksmith can't cut car keys and they still charge you 3 times of another nearby locksmith who actually knows how to cut keys. read more

The people that work here are so nice and really helpful! I've been here a couple of times, my only complaint is that I've had to go back to redo the keys every time because they didn't fit. read more
