Saul, owner of "Eric's Locksmith," responded immediately to my phone call and arrived at our house in less than a half-hour. He fixed the broken part in the door knob and was on his way to his next job. He really knows his business, is very pleasant, and fast, plus his charges are very fair. We used him a few years ago and had such a great experience we called him again. I highly recommend him!!! read more

Super responsive and kept up with communication. Price was also very good compared to many other companies that try to rip you off. You are a lifesaver! Thank you so so much and I highly recommend to anyone who's also in an emergency. Very satisfied with how quick everything was and especially the fair prices read more

Wow! Awesome service. Called him around noon, he was there in about 15 minutes, was about 10 minutes to do the lock and could not have been nicer. Great price too. 2 thumbs up, HIGHLY recommend!! read more

I cannot say enough about Eric. I called him on New Year's Day regarding a stuck door. I was expecting a huge holiday fee if he could even come out, but he was at my door within 20 minutes and fixed the issue in record time. He was extremely professional and only charged his normal fee for parts and labor, which was very reasonable. Good tradespeople are hard to find these days and I am so lucky that I found Eric. read more

Eric came out on such short notice. He was super helpful and quick. Communication was stellar, and you can tell he takes pride in running an upstanding business and providing excellent customer service! read more

Accidentally locked myself out on a Saturday morning. My call was answered immediately, I received a very fair quote for the area (almost double the cost at several other places we called), and within 30 minutes we got help on-site and our door was unlocked within 1 minute! First time I've used a locksmith and I definitely had a great experience. Shaoul was very courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Hoping I won't get locked out again, but would definitely call him again if I do! read more

Sharoul is the best! He came by first just to make sure that the locks I was going to order would work because my doors were not standard and then he came back later to install and did a great job plus his charges are reasonable. I have used a number of the locksmiths here in Los Angeles and Eric is very honest, knowledgeable, sincere and one of those rare people that you can actually rely on. read more

Amazing!!! I have worked with other locksmiths over the past several years but a friend recommended I work with Eric on the installation of my medeco lock and door handle. I can't recommend Eric enough. He has a great attitude is extremely professional and is easy to work with. I am so happy I went with her recommendation. Hands down the best in the business. read more

Erik was outstanding and deserves all the 5-star reviews he gets. He came at the appointed time, early in the morning, and got the job done. Even though we ran into some unexpected challenges along the way, Erik remained calm and determined, not to mention friendly, all throughout. Most importantly of all, Erik was honest - never trying to upsell me on anything - and gave me really good advice and suggestions. I'm looking forward to calling Erik again for my next project. read more

Eric is wonderful he responds instantly and was at my house in an hour. Fixed the lock instead of installing a new one. Can't recommend his highly enough. read more

Eric was wonderful and honest. He tells you how to save money and does everything quickly and efficiently. He cares about making the home safe. I would use him for everything. read more

Very friendly, was able to help us out in short notice. Highly recommended! Thank you again my friend. You deserve all these great reviews.

Responsive, affordable, and fast! Got it all done in less than 45 mins. Would hire again, but hopefully I don't need too. Highly recommend.

Wow it was truly a pleasure watching Eric work! He is a master locksmith- the type of person who was born to do the job. I had a piece of furniture over 100 years old that I had never been able to open. It had a very interesting handmade lock. He initially gave me a 50-50 chances but alas he was able to open it! It was really exciting and I appreciate his dedication to the craft. His prices were reasonable and he has great communication. Thank you Eric! read more

Quick and easy service. Was able to come the next day, pivot on what he needed to accomplish, and help me out

We needed to rekey two locks. Eric's Locksmith came and finished the job quickly. Price is reasonable. Highly recommended!

The key broke off in my lock and Eric was there in a half hour. He's quick and did a great job putting a new lock in my door and fixed another old one at the same time. He's the best. read more

An incredibly easy transaction, which is what you're looking for in a locksmith. Details: Needed a new mailbox lock as I moved into a new condo without a key to the mailbox. I called Eric and setup an appointment for 10:00am in the morning. At 10:03am, Eric calls, asking if I'd like him to start working, as I was running a bit late. I show up at 10:05am and he's already done replacing the lock with a new one. Obviously, I saved him in my phone immediately as locksmith and have a new keymaster for life (or at least my time in LA) Fully recommended. read more

Eric is an honest person, and he won't charge you unless he has to. I called about my boss's safe (we locked the code which was on the manual). I emailed 11 other locksmiths in the area with the same message and got estimates of $250 upwards - but Eric not only recieved the message, but gave me his number to call after reading that it wasn't a damaged safe, but something we could fix ourselves. He walked us through it and we were able to open the safe. He kept stressing that he wants to help people as much as possible. He didn't charge us or end up getting bussiness from us. But I am impressed and grateful for his help and expertise. read more

Locked myself out right before I had to be at work. Called 2 other locksmiths before, but all were too far away. Third call was to the number posted on the front gate of my building stating: 24 hour locksmith. I called the number, explained what I wanted and asked for a quote. Without any idle or unnecessary fluff, the man on the other end says "$65". He politely asks if I checked to see if the manager or anyone else could let me know, to which I respond no. He then asks where I'm located, I give him the cross streets, and he says "20 minutes." I'm watching the clock anxiously, as it was 8:19 and I was supposed to be at work at 8:30. He literally arrived in 21 minutes from the time the call ended. As he approached the building, he goes "I've been here before; it looks like management doesn't care." AMEN BROTHER. They do not. Manager doesn't return calls for sh**. Anyhow, he gets right to work and I'm in my apartment within 5 minutes. He stayed true to his price, too! Hopefully I NEVER, EVER lock myself out again, but if I did, I would definitely call him! read more

Quick response to my quote within 12 hours and showed up on time to the appointment. Very efficient and thorough service, didn't cause any damage to the door or lock, and he triple checked to make sure the new lock works. read more

Fantastic and extremely quick service. Called later in the day and was able to have multiple locks changed within an hour, for an extremely fair price. The entire process was super smooth and pleasant, so we'll certainly be calling again for any future locksmith needs! read more

On time, affordable, and great communication. This is how every business should be, but sadly only a few are. Eric's years of experience shows in his professionalism and his honestly and friendliness was refreshing. read more

Eric was incredibly helpful! He was ready to come over at the drop of a hat to let us in when we locked ourselves out of our apartment. I'd also called around to other locksmiths and his pricing was very reasonable and he was very friendly!!!!!! read more

I called them 3 hours ago about my door handle that loosened out and detached from the locking mechanism. It's now fixed. Amazingly efficient. Highly recommend. read more

I am so happy I discovered this business on Yelp because we had a wonderful experience. We had come home one day and our lock wouldn't work. Within 45 minutes a locksmith was at our door and quickly remedy the situation for a very fair price. He was friendly and professional and I will use them again for all future key and lock needs. read more

Eric showed up perfectly on time 7:30am on the dot. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and fully capable of fixing my vintage center door knob. As all antiques and older hardware goes, they can be very temperamental and tricky. He was able to fix the entire door mechanism to work like new. Very impressive! I highly recommend him. He is the real deal! read more

I cannot more highly recommend Eric! He is the best! He's quick, efficient, very polite, kind, and charges well. He is my go-to locksmith! I first met him when I locked myself out of my bedroom early in the morning while getting ready for work. I then recommended him to my former boss who was so impressed with the way he handled all the locks in her house. Afterward, I asked him to come to my new office for an emergency office lockout. He arrived quickly every time and even more quickly got the job done. Eric is the absolute best! read more

Very efficient and friendly service!! Thank you! Done within 10mins to change a new lock for our mail box

He arrived within 30 mins of our phone call, fixed the problem quickly and efficiently, and even made some adjustments so that my door opened more smoothly. Extremely friendly and professional, and did I mention? He charged the least of the 5 other locksmiths I called before him. HIRE THIS MAN! read more

I was gathering my things to take my dog on a walk on a cold, cloudy Sunday. Phone, check. Umbrella, check. Thermos with a hot beverage, check. I was rushing myself to get out before that unusually heavy winter rain started again, and I wasn't consciously thinking about it. So, of course it was right when I stepped outside and closed the locked door, almost purely out of muscle memory, that I realized my mistake: the keys were still inside. And I was locked outside with my dog on a rainy Sunday. I called Eric and he was at my front door within 15 minutes. He wasn't just professional and courteous. He was also extraordinarily kind, understanding, and informative. As he gently worked my door open again in the blink of an eye, without any drilling, we talked about my dog, a new lock I had been considering, and how to find the best deal on that lock (which wasn't through him). I felt as though I were talking to an old friend or family member -- someone who was genuinely looking out for my best interest even if he had nothing to personally gain from it. Eric isn't just an incredibly highly skilled locksmith. He is also an excellent human being and member of the community. Whether you have a major project or are just locked out of your house on a rainy day, he's the one to call. You won't be disappointed. read more

Eric is fast, professional and a great man to work with! I highly recommend him for installation projects with locks.

Eric is legit! We needed 'Do Not Duplicate' keys made and he arrived on time, let us know the situation, and completed the work sooner than I expected. Look, this guy is great because he cares about his customers. You know when you find someone that cares about their profession.. that's this guy. He was accessible through cell and never left me feel left out. If you're looking for a locksmith... look no further than Eric. This guy gets it. read more

Responsive. On time. Affordable. Great communication. Knowledgeable - told me my lock was 80 years old! Wore a mask!

I locked myself out, and Eric got me back in. He also recalled the history of my building at length, so he's a locksmith AND a historian. Great memory, and a nice guy who clearly knows his trade very well. read more

Prompt response and was able to accommodate an appointment the same day. He was obviously very skilled and was able to fix the mistakes made by the last locksmith I used. Will definitely give them my business again. Highly recommended! read more

Used Eric twice now for my car and apartment and he is very responsive and fast! Both times he got there in a timely manner and managed to bail me out. Very sweet man who is good at what he does. About $70 each bail read more

Showed up on time, early made all my repirs and updates for a reasonable cost and had solid advice. Highly recommended locksmith

Eric is so cool! He works super fast and gets the job done right. I highly recommend and will use him again in the future. Thank you!

Door lock was not opening. I found Eric on Yelp with all of these great reviews so I called and he showed up very soon after! He was so nice and was able to open the door right away. He found out the latch of our door was broken and replaced it. He was fast and super nice. The job was done is less than 10 min. Super reasonable price too! read more
