I gave him a call (the locks needed to be changed anyways) and he was there in less than an hour and got me in and changed locks on the front and back door as well as cut me new keys in less than 30 minutes.

What can I say that hasn't already been said in all of Steve's five-star reviews? Well, beyond the…read morefact that he's fast, competent, friendly, professional, and knows everything about locks, I'll say one more thing: Steve is tactful. Let me explain. I got locked out of my home's bathroom stall the other day, and no matter how many YouTube videos I watched, I couldn't figure out how to unlock the door. So I called Steve. He said he was very busy, but could come over late in the day. After an hour or so, he called and told me he had a cancellation and could come over in about an hour. When Steve arrived, he inspected the door and got it unlocked fairly quickly. When the door opened, it revealed a toilet that was disgustingly dirty after having gone too long between cleanings. He didn't bat an eye. He stayed inside the stall long enough to inspect the other side of the lock and install a new screw. But he never said a word about that terrible toilet. Much appreciated. I'll definitely have Steve back if the need arises!

Then, they provided a 12 hour window 8 am - 8 pm and eventually came. Go Pro Locksmith removed my Schlage and replaced with a low quality Delaney lock, which did not fit. For this service they charged me hundreds of dollars. When I wanted my Schlage lock back on the door, they said it would cost me a few more hundred dollars. This is not the quality of service we expect from a locksmith.

Before I buckled my 2.5 year old in his car seat, I placed the keys in his cup holder. At some point while buckling him, the doors auto-locked. I did not realize that happened until after I closed the door -- unfortunately, with the keys still in the cup holder. As you can imagine, I panicked. Luckily, the van was parked in a partially shaded spot. However, the sun was shining through the windshield. I imagined the interior slowly heating up. Immediately, I called the nearest locksmith, A-Able Locksmith. I spoke with Paul and told him it was an emergency. I also called 911 because I wasn't sure how long it would take Paul to get there. To my surprise, he actually showed up before the fire dept arrived! And in seconds, he got my son out of the car. I am so thankful for Paul and will never forget how he saved my son.

DISHONEST SCAM! They contract jobs out to independent contractors without telling you, and then…read morecharge you almost 3 times the going rate. I called for a locksmith because l got locked out of my house. San Carlos Lock and Key said one of his guys would call me back to confirm a time. The locksmith said he would arrive in 30 minutes but arrived in 45 minutes which wasn't too bad, but he charged me $385 just to pick a lock. Other locksmiths called me back within that time and said the job is $150, but I told them I already have a locksmith scheduled. San Carlos Lock and Key does not send their own guys. Instead, they contract the job out to whoever is available. They pay the contractors about $150 and they keep about $235 for simply being a relay telephone service. I know these relay services for contractors exist, and I intentionally did not hire any company who said they do this. San Carlos Lock and Key TRICKED me, making me believe they were sending one of their own employees, and not a contractor. I called back to complain, and San Carlos Lock and Key said that the price is because of "this area". I'm only 25 minutes away from them, and other locksmiths said that same service is $150. So do not use this dishonest sham of a company.
