Much to my surprise, getting something as simple as a key replaced can be much trickier than expected. Since I didn't want to put my business towards a major hardware chain such as "Home Depot" & "Lowe's" or a mega retailer like "Walmart", I decided to use the Yelp app and came across "J & J Locksmiths". This is one of those old-school places that looks like its been around for decades. And that it has being one of Sacramento's top locksmiths dating back to 1956. Located directly on Fulton Ave. and about a mile south of Business 80 (Capital City Freeway), the exterior has quite that vintage look to it. The business name is shown by a sign that displays it in yellow block letters with a fairly sizable parking lot. Keep in mind that their store is only opened during the week; Monday through Friday from 8:30am-5:00pm and closed on the weekends. However, if in the event you're in an emergency, they do offer 24/7 emergency road service. Once inside, you will notice an absolutely massive amount of keys inside of this place. Here, you can get many purposes of keys duplicated which includes residential, commercial, safe and automotive lock services (with all of the major vehicle manufacturers). Some of the really cool features of this place is their collection of fireproof safes with a wide variety of sizes and styles. Since I only needed a simple mailbox key to be duplicated, I went in during the afternoon of Tuesday 1/8/2025 at around 4:00pm. There was only one employee working as I did not see any other customers inside. I simply asked him to make two copies of my mailbox keys and he was done in less than 2 minutes. Total price was only $3/ea + tax and came out to about $6 and some change. Not to mention, the employee was friendly, knowledgeable, and had me in and out of there in no time. All in all, a great family-owned small business. My rating, five stars. read more

Loved it friendly super helpful great pricing always able to help with what I need. I rekeyed some locks and made several copies of keys that i needed. thanks, read more

Newly transplanted to NorCal, needed a good locksmith place. Looked on YELP! Great ratings and reviews and pretty close to my home. I was looking for a hard to find key. And sure enough They had the key I was looking for. I like to patronize small, Family owned business, having been self-employed for quite a while, I can appreciate what they go through. And generally they provide great service, great people, great products and reasonable prices. They need two to stay in business. They have a VESTED interest. J&J is no different. I have been here several times and it's always a great experience. The most recent visit was to replace the Key fob for my 2017 Toyota RAV4. I ordered it through Nick on the phone and came in when they received it and now we're back in business. Every time I come here, it's a great experience. I'm a J&J customer forever!! read more

Nick came out to unlock my safe that had been jammed for six months. He got it open in a flash. He was great, highly recommend if you have any issues, give them a call. I was referred by a friend that also had very good luck with them. Also reasonably priced. read more

I just wanted to express my appreciation of this company. I have used them, occasionally, for over 30 years, for lock repairs, lockouts, duplicate keys, etc. They are nice, helpful, quick to respond, very good at their jobs, and very reasonable in their pricing. read more

Home Depot - $115 for 2 x deadbolt + locking handle set J&J - $150 for 2 x deadbolt + locking handle set (when I realized Home Depot gave me the wrong lock type when I did curbside pick up), rekeying all 4 locks to a different key, and 3 copies of the key. From the moment I called, the friendliness of the staff stood out. The woman who answered the phone was super nice, and the in-person service was just as pleasant. The whole process took well under 20 minutes. Fantastic little shop! read more

J & J Locksmiths - Perfect copy from my old aftermarket key to new OEM Honda key! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Sacramento, California

Excellent service and very knowledgeable. They definitely know what they are doing. They rekeyed my Schlage door lock and lubed up the internal mechanism.. it works like BRAND NEW. They made several duplicate keys and they work like a charm. Steve was very friendly and gave excellent advice. It was well worth the drive up north to the Arden Arcade from Elk Grove. read more

Had car key made here. Don't waste time at Home Depot or ace hardware. This place guy takes pride in work and will personally test key to make sure it's smooth and works great. And he keyed and programmed key within 15 minutes. Thank you for awesome job read more

Oh My God!!!! I can't say enough about this company!! I am so happy that I went to their location after having no luck in the previous two businesses that I attempted to find. The key fab to my Lexus wasn't working and Lexus wanted over $300 to replace it. j &J told me what the problem was with my key fab and fixed it for me. The save me $295! They are honest super nice and they listened as I explained my issue. They even went outside to ensure my key fab worked (unlocked doors & the back hatch). Thank you J & J for your honesty and integrity!!! read more

If I could give J&J Locksmiths 10 stars I would. This morning I brought in a Schlage front door handset that had two stripped screw threads on the mounting bracket. The locksmith who works in the store took a look at it and said, "Let me see what I can do". 10 minutes later he returns with the mounting bracket re-threaded and tightly fastened with longer and larger self-taping screws which are NEVER going to come loose. Wow! For a mere $20 repair charge, I saved the $200 it would have cost me to buy a new handset and lock assembly. No more wobbly front door handle! J&J has come through for me so many times when hardware stores and other locksmiths have failed. These guys are the real deal and I appreciate their knowledge, skill and can do attitude. Bravo! read more

They are just great!! Do a wonderful job. I have used them for years and they never disappoint!! Very reasonable on their prices!

This is the only locksmith I will go to. They have fixed everything from my car keys (saved me a ton of money not going to the dealership), house keys, home safe, and even fixed my screen door when it didn't hang correctly. I mean, it wasn't even his job, but the service guy was changing the lock, noticed my door was crooked, and didn't want to leave it like that. I wish I could remember the name of the person that came out and did that for me. Quality service all around. Just a really cool, honest business. read more

In short I was recommended to this company by the guys working Nissan parts on Auburn Blvd. I had two locked storage boxes in the bed of my truck ( factory accessories) I ask if I could get an estimate to open or drill out the lock and before I knew it, the gentleman was in the back of my truck tried a couple of times with my key then did a Donzi type strike at the lock and it opened...the second one was a bit more involved but he got it opened... I was at the point of either completely cutting around the locs to remove them, buy new boxes.. (1,300+- replacement cost) He was fast, efficient and polite... since I was there also had some keys made too... Which was lightning fast... Lastly got a quote for an additional fob for my truck lowest price I have seen... Much lower than dealership... read more

I went to several hardware stores to simply get a new copied. None had the "right size". I was referred to J&J, and they did not disappoint. Totally inexpensive. Quick and courteous service. read more

Excellent service! Highly recommended! Nick was able to install a lock on a very pesky sliding glass door handle that had caused fits for me and for a door company that previously had attempted it. It wasn't easy, but he did it! And he's a nice dude too. That helps. read more

I was referred to J & J Locksmiths from a mobile locksmith as the place to go if I was looking for a brick and mortar shop. The key blade for my Ducati key fob broke and it took a while for me to find a place that would re-cut a Ducati key blade, but it was in Florida. I didn't want to send my key fob in the mail since I have heard it would be really costly to replace if it got lost in the mail. I got the blade back but then had to get the broken piece of the blade out and get the new blade in. I called around to a few places and told that they couldn't do it, not sure they could, and the one that said he would try would charge over a hundred bucks since he was a mobile business. He did refer me to J & J and sure enough, took one look at the key blade and fob - said it would be easy, took less than five minutes, and was only going to charge a very nominal fee. I paid them four times what they were asking since I was so happy and it is the holidays! I know where to go if I ever need help with keys or locks! read more

We had an "emergency" deadbolt repair in the last 30 minutes before closing on a Friday. They got us in and out at a great price. We didn't need to replace the lock or go without a lock for the weekend. read more

These guys are legit, quality service guaranteed. You'll know when you walk in the door, any lock service I'm sure they can handle! Thanks J&J Locksmiths read more

I am glad I did not write a review after the first time I came here! We bought a used car and my mechanic recommended I go here to get new keys made, because old ones were flimsy. I got two new keys Cut. I could not test it right away because the car was in the shop. When I got to the car the key would not start the ignition. But it did bend in the ignition, which was why I was going to write a bad review. For them giving me another flimsy key to replace it when I already had. we ended up having to put a new ignition in the car, and I had the two flimsy keys in my pocket with the intent to go back and return them for a refund. Though I have new ignition keys now, I still need copy for the doors. I went to Emighs, and after three tries we decided to give up. He just couldn't get the key cut to open all the doors. So I shuffled back to J&J. After causing some confusion because I had them cut the wrong key, The older gentleman there went and found the perfect blank for my car. He cut it, in the open and close my doors it would not go into the lock for the truck. He went back-and-forth several times until he perfected it. I bought three replacement keys. By the way it was 1:05 PM, if they close at one on Saturdays. I'll keys are working now! read more

J & J Locksmiths - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Sacramento, California

Called 2.5 hours ago, kept telling us they would be coming. Called back, "the guy got hung up on another job, etc." ABSOLUTE TRASH! Like you can't call a customer to tell them that?!?! SERIOUSLY??? read more

Incredibly helpful and fast. Responded within an hour to my call and had me into my home quickly! Definitely hoping I don't need to call again for lockout help but I know who I can call just in case. read more

Top shelf. They've realized the key to unlocking referral business is providing amazing service. Outstanding.

By far the best place to get any keys made. I needed to get a key replacement on my Honda with programming on both, J&J locksmith associate named NICK helped with everything and was able to provide great customer service. I have been to multiple locksmiths and they charge ridiculously for 1 key cut with the program. I will be coming back again for any key related issues. read more

In and out in a flash with the spare key I needed. I will definitely be going back with a rekey in the near future.

Justin and Montana were champions of customer service! I had a complex order and they knew exactly how to complete it and quick! I needed 7 locks rekeyed with a Master key and they got them all right! A++++++ read more

Lots and lots of keys on the walls, but nobody to help, nobody even to say hi, but it will be a few minutes. Waited over 10 minutes just to be told no, they couldn't do it. read more

J&J Locksmith is absolutely terrific. He was not only on time but early. He was professional and knew exactly what he was doing. He was able to fix our lock (broken by another locksmith, see below) and charged an extremely fair price with was only a fraction of what the locksmith below was going to charge us. See below: We had a key break in our lock and my husband called a different locksmith. They were terrible. They took 90 minutes to then tell us they didn't have the parts to fix it. They broke a portion of the lock. They charged $150 for this "service" and said it would be another $350 to repair what they broke when all we needed was a broken key out of the lock. read more

So I needed a programmable key fob programmed. I called right before they closed and they told me if it wasn't an emergency, to call in the morning before I came in so I wouldn't have to wait. The next morning, they said to head on in. That respected my time. They charge a flat $50 to do the programming, which is $40 cheaper than I was quoted elsewhere. I didn't have to leave my car for the day, was done in less than 45 minutes, and the key works. I really appreciate people who value my time and don't overcharge. And they do a great job. read more

The are amazing Many years ago I called them to come help me when I lost my house keys. They were fast and polite. Some of the best customer service I've encountered. Then recently i broke my key in the door of my car (old car no fob) and when I called they gave me a slot someone had just cancelled for. He pulled up within 10 minutes and I had a new key within 20 minutes of calling them. Still great customer service after more than a decade. I always recommend them when anyone I know needs a locksmith. read more

Don't need to say too much here. Have used these guys for years, my family has used for years, and always professional fantastic service. I own a business and that where I primarily use them. Seems like the workers are getting younger but still doing great work. Anytime I get problems or other business owners or friends have issues I refer to J and J. Thanks guys your the best read more
