A couple of small notes for future customers: the final price was slightly higher than the original project quote once the full scope (two locks) was reconfirmed (but this was conveyed pre-arrival, so no surprises upon arrival), and arrival was about 40 minutes past the scheduled time (but I get it, LA traffic!). He also recommended cutting the locks since he couldn't make replacement keys, which means I will have to purchase some new bike locks again soon. Regardless, grateful for Jin to provide evening and weekend services! Also, I must say the price Jin charged was still more affordable than other locksmith businesses I contacted, so overall, this was a better value in the end! Plus, Jin was quick to respond via Yelp. Would recommend Jin for anyone needing quick, effective locksmith work, esp. for bike locks. Five stars for rescuing the bikes and communication!

I've never had this happen before. Even with our other handyman, plumbers, etc. - if you can't do the work, you don't get paid for NOT doing the work. We were told that this would cover gas expenses - why take a job that is out of your network? They knew our address well before coming out. Also, some of our intake conversations were over text, so I wish we discussed the job over photos so they knew what we wanted to do in terms of the job and give us a proper quote. Just felt very scammy and weird after them asking for money without starting the job.

I recently been having a hard time on unlocking my house locks, looked Thurley and notice that the key was bent. went by this locksmith in los angeles, to get the key duplicated, since it was only bent. I did think it was possible but surprisingly, he was successful, and manage to straighten the key and made a copy, which saved me from a locksmith visit, that should have been $150 i made calls from yelp . the guy at the stand was named sal, He also suggest to change the cylinder which will cost only $15.00 and showed me how to do it. I was happy with the service and will definitely come back, they JUST MANGED a sincere value customer for the very long run thank you mike from all security lock and key! Thanks. read more

I was locked out, using my neighbor's cell phone to call locksmiths from the yellow pages, who were either unavailable, irresponsible ("we'll be right over" and 2 hours later still waiting) or too expensive. Then I recalled Yelp, and found Eric recommended here. I called. He said he'd be right over and offered me a 10% discount. He arrived within 15 minutes. And voila! Door opened. In this world, we all need someone trustworthy to call when we need help. Eric lived up to his Yelp five star ratings, so here you go, Eric. One more... Woohoo! As good as it gets!
