We needed to have emergency lock work done and Gabriel's schedule was full, but he was able to squeeze us in last week. For the record, I contacted AM/PM Locksmith in San Ramon before I decided to go with Gabriel. AM/PM was supposed to stop by on a Monday, but never returned my call. However, they did return my call AFTER I decided to go ahead with Gabriel Lock & Key after I confirmed my Thursday appointment. The work was done quickly and as expected, no issues. Payment options: Venmo or check. read more

Cant recommend Gabriel's services enough! We watched the videos on his website and felt informed when making a decision about what types of locks to install in our home. We appreciated his professional recommendations. He was super quick to respond/great communication all around. He installed high security locks on our doors, an electronic lock on one of the doors, and removed unnecessary locking mechanisms from other doors. He helped us set up the app to control our electronic lock. We didn't feel pressured throughout the process at all. Thanks again! read more

Lost my mail key and found Gabriel online after being quoted $300 from another service. Gabriel showed up within 15 minutes of my call and was able to change my mailbox lock in 2 minutes... he also provided 3 mail keys at no additional cost! Would definitely be my first call if I even need a locksmith again!! Thank you so much Gabriel!! **he also takes venmo!! read more

Gabriel is GREAT! We have used him at two places, and he has provided excellent service. He's also friendly, easy to work with, prompt, and informative. He really helped us decide what kinds of locks to get; then he installed them. We also needed to change a lock so it would lock automatically. He just made the change to the lock. He also told me that for one repair, I could manage it myself. He told me what to get, and where to find the instructions. He provides complete value for service! read more

Gabe is professional and knowledgable. We've worked with him twice. The first time, he changed all the outdoor locks on our new house, installed a lockbox, and gave us recommendations for a smart lock. He came back a few months later to change some locks we had missed in our garage and to install a smart lock. He was quick and efficient, and took the time to give tutorials on the lockbox and smart lock. Highly recommend and would work with him again. read more

This is a much delayed review of the great service we got from Gabriel of Gabriel Lock & Key. We needed to replace our exterior door locks on our 1930's house.

Replacing so many locks with high security ones was expensive, but Gabriel's prices were reasonable. Highly recommend him if you ever need help with locks! read more

Gabriel Lock & Key - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

We purchased a home over the summer and installed new locks on all of the exterior doors, which ended us up with 8 different keys. We found Gabriel through Yelp and reviewed his extensive, educational website to learn more about lock types and his services. In addition to his website, he had great ratings, so we reached out! Gabriel was quick to respond to our inquiry, gave clear recommendations about our security needs, and an estimate. When we were ready to schedule our appointment, Gabriel was available within 3 days. He texted the day before to ensure we had reviewed his information regarding lock types and to confirm his appointment. On the day of, he arrived early (after confirming this was okay), walked through the home and confirmed his recommendations for lock types. He completed the work within 20 minutes and was spot on in his work! He went above and beyond to shave down a lock bore hole to ensure security and checked out our security doors as well. Gabriel processed our payment quickly and provided all replication information for a future state. We will definitely work with him again - no reservations! read more

Gabriel responds quickly and has helpful responses via text. Also provided helpful recommendations without being pushy.

What a great experience! I called Gabriel to replace a lock on a gate. He was able to schedule a cost quickly and showed up a little early to our appointment. He was very pleasant and professional and personable. He works quickly and efficiently and gave me some great suggestions for locks and keeping them in good working order. While he was there he was also able to rekey two other locks so I could just use one key instead of two. He has a great knowledge of his craft and a keen sense of the importance of excellent customer service. No wonder he has such a great rating and reviews on YELP! read more

I've gone to Gabriel on 3 separate occasions to rekey my home. There's nothing more important than feeling the person who is securing your space is a reliable expert. Gabriel is professional and knows his craft and I'm very grateful to know who to call when I need a new key! read more

Gabriel was great to work with. On time, efficient in getting the job done and extremely communicative. Highly recommended! read more

We were unable to open our front door as the deadbolt was frozen. Gabriel responded quickly, came out and solved our problem just as quickly. Fair price, quick work, very nice guy. Highly recommend. read more

Do you think you are safe behind your deadbolt? Do you? Gabriel will make you watch two videos that will quickly terrify you. Both show how easy it is to break into your home. Half way thru you will be dialing his number. They are on you tube and his website. Watch only if you are ready for what you need to do afterwards. Gabriel is no ordinary locksmith. He is a bringer of security. Now, it's not cheap. Security never is. But if you really want a lock on your home that is burglar proof (and the key looks pretty cool too) have Gabriel come to your home and install some peace of mind. 45 minutes after he arrived we had new locks, keys that cannot be copied, and a safer home. Tip: if you have just bought a new home ALWAYS change the locks once you move in. read more

My latch stopped working, which meant I could not open my front door. Gabriel answered the phone personally, gave me a fair quote, arrived exactly on time. He performed the fix quickly, answered all my questions, and was completely helpful and professionally. Because of COVID, he wore a mask and respected social distance. I recommend and would use again. read more

Top notch service! Quick, efficient and reasonable. We bought a new house and needed the locks changed asap.

Smooth as any service can get. There's not much else to say, so since Yelp won't let me post without writing more, here it goes.... second time using his services. Excellent communication, availability of appointments, and quick service. read more

We needed our door re-key going into the weekend. Called Gabriel on Saturday morning and he was able to accommodate same day service due to the urgency of our situation. He stopped by, gave good advice on which locks to pick. Re-keyed the locks in no time, while being very nice and polite.
