So I requested quotes via Yelp since it appeared that I locked my keys in the trunk of my 1962 Chevy Nova. Don's Lock & Key responded right away, and sent me a reasonable quote and was able to accommodate my schedule. Older cars can be easy or a real pain. The two gentlemen first checked to see if they could make a key from my glove box to see if that would open the trunk. Come to find out most of the locks were newer, so they then tried doing it with the driver's door lock. They were able to make a key that worked to open my trunk, and doors. Unfortunately my keys were not in the trunk, lol! Still have no idea where they are, but at least I have a key now. Dons Lock & Key were on time, courteous, and were very careful not to mess up my car. I am extremely satisfied with their service & would highly recommend them. Thanks Guys! read more

Derek Dyer was on the Signal Hill job 1.5 hours after I called. He was thorough and pleasant, went out of his way to rebuild a lock from spare parts, and was pleasant to boot. His price was most reasonable considering the time he spent on my job. As a REALTOR® Derek is my key guy. Good Lock Derek! read more

Got locked outside my office. Very prompt response and fast service. They open my office in just 5 mins without breaking the lock. Thank you and will definitely hire them if I get locked outside my office again! read more

Just got a response from Don's lock & Key saying I was never a customer. I have receipts! They are a mobile service & they contact you thru text or cell phone. Look at all of their 1 star reviews, "It wasn't me!" Are you Don's Lock & Key or Shaggy?! Not to mention, how can you say I've never done business with you based on My info from Yelp?! All you have is a 1st name & last initial. Get your story straight. I have 3 receipts from you guys will post if need be. How do you expect people to trust you with their security when certain employees lack honesty & integrity. Please do better. read more

Oh wow! I'm so grateful for the lovely service! My Honda Element ignition would not turn and my car was stuck. I have two little kids under the age of three and needed this fixed asap and David or Derek (mommy brain... I think that was his name) was so kind and helpful. He came to my house. Very very reasonable pricing-- because we called 2 other places for a quote, and Don's Lock and Key was at least $150 cheaper. AAA discount and GREAT, quick, diligent and accommodating service! I highly recommend!!! read more

Very prompt arrival, reasonable price to unlock our bathroom door that our 4-year-old locked, and during these COVID-19 times, we appreciated that he came properly masked. Would recommend and use again. read more

Service was quick! The Locksmith's name was Frank. He responded on yelp immediately. I sent him a picture of my lock. Frank showed up within 20 min of my call. His fee was higher than other Locksmith's--however, I was happy to pay since he was at my address in under 20 minutes, other Locksmith's either did not reply or I would wait at least 90 minutes. Kind, professional, and offered multiple ways to pay. read more

I had to get my mailbox replaced. I called many other locksmiths and Don's lock and key was the only place that were able to do the job. Super knowledgable and friendly staff. Took 30 minutes to replace so relatively quick. read more

I know I'm way overdue for this review, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dons Lock and Key. I was getting ready to sell my car and that same day my car broke down and I guess unconsciously as exhausted as I already was I dropped my key when pulling out my wallet. So as I was getting ready to sell the car I didn't have a key but Don really went the extra mile to help me sell it. We also have similar tastes in cars. Give this guy a 10.9/10 read more

Came out on the 4th of July and opened the trunk. Gave me a price over the phone and arrived exactly when he said he would. He was friendly and quickly got me back into my car and in with my day. He even told me to contact AAA for a reimbursement (they sent someone out earlier that day who did not have the tools to open my trunk) as he was also a AAA locksmith and should have been called in the first place. Very helpful!! Definitely recommend this business! read more

They came within an hour to make me key and program it. Very fast did a great job. Highly recommend Don Lock and Key read more

Too bad I can't give them zero stars I needed a key& was in the area Thank goodness I called to confirm the location The male abruptly told me they were closed though it was 40 minutes b4 closing time posted on yelp Thankfully Home Depot was on the way Home read more

Darin was amazing! Helped us out in a less than ideal situation. Would highly recommend.

TJ was the bomb!! Super helpful and explained everything in a clear and simple way. I was recommended Don's through AAA and the receptionist was so nice and helpful. I would 100% recommended. read more

Owner didn't even say hello and I was there for about 20min. He was too interested in his bubble pop game. EVERYONE had a kinda poor non interactive attitude. I expected atleast the two ladies to smile when one of my daughterss smiled at em. Nope. I'll go elsewhere next time. You got my 180.00. Kudos for y'all. Posted a response but it didn't load. I was at the riverside store with the Batman car and statues with tt. He was tall in his 60s with glAsses. Funny part was we posed near the car and the statues but I discarded the pics. Because of the experience. read more

The dead bolt broke in my apartment this morning. My landlord called Don's and got a very quick response. Justin was awesome!! Very polite, professional and friendly. Instead of just replacing the whole deadbolt he told my landlord he could fix the one that broke. She really appreciated that. AND in the midst of him fixing the lock I returned home from the grocery store and he carried my bags up the stairs for me. I told him they could stay outside until he finished, but he said no problem and took them up to the top of the stairs for me. What a great employee!! Definitely would refer friends who may be in need of lock services. read more

Fast and affordable, friendly too! I would definitely reach out to them the next time I need help.

Had a very wonderful experience with Dons Lock and Key. Derrick was personable and knew exactly what he was doing. He rejected and installed locks in a timely fashion. I was very happy with the workmanship as well as the customer service. They arrived timely and called prior to arrival as requested. read more

After calling 3 other locksmiths whom didn't show up! I called Don's lock and key! He showed up on time and was very kind and professional! And after re-keying my house he gave me the set of keys on a key chain he made himself! Like the special touch! Definitely call them for all of you needs. read more

Gene arrived nice and early. He was very professional and cordial. I can't speak to how reasonable their price is, because I didn't shop for pricing and have never hired a locksmith before. I can, however, say that their prompt availability and quality of work was well worth the price I paid for their service. read more

Sent out a message and they responded very quickly. Got a quote and send over my address and they were at my house in about 10 minutes. Programmed and cut two keys in less than 20 minutes. Very impressed and the price was reasonable. Definitely would recommend and keep Don's lock and key saved for future needs. read more

I connected with Don's Lock and Key through AAA, when my ignition failed. Not only did I have someone at my house in less than 30 minutes, they helped me to save money at the same time. read more

Don's came out within 30 min of my call to AAA. My key broke and was stuck in the ignition. Kenny worked so hard to get my car driveable until I can get to Honda dealer. Kenny was so kind, thoughtful and did the very best he could to make my car operable. Having AAA saved me $100 as well... Thank you, Kenny! read more

I locked myself out of my house and was feeling very dumb. I called Don's Lock and Key because they had such great Yelp reviews. The person who answered the phone assured me that this happens to everyone at some point (which helped). He quoted a technician would arrive within 30 - 60 minutes. TJ, the technician, called to confirm my address and cross streets. He arrived in 20 minutes (yay!). He was wearing a mask (COVID-19) and had his kit ready to go. TJ was friendly and also reassured me that he had to open someone's door at least once a day, so I shouldn't feel bad. If this ever happens again (crossing fingers it doesn't) I will definitely call Don's Lock and Key again. Thank you so much! read more

Such a pleasant experience!! I locked myself out of my apartment I found them on yelp called and they had someone come out in under an hour! TJ came and was able to get it done in under 5 mins & gave me the best quote out of the 10 local locksmiths I called! So professional highly recommended!!! :) read more

Frank just came out to check out a previous installed lock he was able to tell me the problem right away fixed it very nice and knowledgeable man read more

I am impressed with Dons Lock & Key. I spoke with knowledgeable and professional staff on the phone about rekeying my new house, adding a deadbolt, and evaluating my driveway gate for a lock. They said they'd be out in 90 minutes or less! They called a little while later to ask if they could come a bit later because some emergency calls had come in. They were there within 2.5 hours of my call. The locksmith, Derek, was terrific. He knew exactly what to ask, evaluated our driveway gate, installed a deadbolt, rekeyed 5 locks to one key, and presented me with a bill which I had expected to be double the price (before I called and got the initial quote on the phone). I will be calling Dons for all of my locksmith needs. read more

Was able to talk with someone and get appointment scheduled right away. Technician came within 1 hour and lock was replaced! Great service, polite, very helpful. Will definitely use again read more

Yesterday, I had a problem with my front and side door dead lock bolts. Derek showed up on time. He found another problem with the locks.

I highly recommend this company! read more

Don's Lock & Key - Long Beach - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Long Beach, California

Thank you Frank for responding so quick to my issue. It's been a month now and I have given up on finding my remote key to a 2009 Nissan Altima. I'm pretty sure I threw it away. I ordered a replacement key from Amazon for 14.99 but it was not programmed nor the key was cut. I waited a few weeks because I was hopeful in finding the key somewhere but today i gave in. Street sweeper is coming out tomorrow and I had gotten away with no tickets for almost a month. Anyway Within minutes of sending my message Frank responded and arranged for someone to come out and program my key. He quoted me $180.00 which was acceptable. Derek came to my home and had my new key working within 20 minutes or less. Thank you so much! Highly recommend. read more

Needed a key cut and programmed for my SUV. Called and spoke with Rebecca. She was AWESOME! 20 minutes later Frank showed up ready to rock and roll. Fast forward an hour and I am the proud owner of 2 brand new keys. This was by far the BEST locksmith experience I have ever had. And to top it all off the price was very fair! I really appreciate the hard work Frank put in to make me happy. I'm very satisfied with the service provided by Dons Lock and Key. A+++ read more

This company was very responsive and super accommodating. Derek came out and met with my father to change the locks on a new house. He was professional and quick. My father even added an extra lock we didn't talk about initially and he was able to do it no problem. Will definitely use this company again. read more
