Really easy to park. Great attitude and great service. They have "do not duplicate" keys when you bring in the master. read more

I was able to get the perfect clicker for my garage. The service was quick and the owner was very helpful. I will recommend this place for others. read more

The guy was very professional and nice and it was good service. He was also very efficient and the keys turned out perfect. The price was more than reasonable and I highly recommend this place! read more

Great key service, decent prices ,not at ++ Depot prices. Nothing worse than going home with your newly made key (hardware store), and the lock won't open. Not at L.B. I've been coming here long before this Keyshop was remodeled , it's even got five star looks to the place ! See Romeo for good old fashioned customer service. He also drove over to my garage lockout on late Saturday and saved the day. Five stars !!!!! read more

A guy in a shack making keys. What more can you ask for. Hes been there for many many years. The two keys I had me were 1.50 each Tip the guy. His prices are so low! read more

This place is hit and miss. They have a very competitive service call fee and can get to your place quickly. But some of their locksmiths are not very good, while others are pretty decent. read more

NOT friendly at all! I don't think I've ever experience such horrible service in only a minute (that was how long it took to copy a key).

Congratulations guys on the new look of the key shop, it looks great. I always like getting my key cuts and get my knife sharpen. The key guy is fast and my keys never fail. Thanks read more

I put off getting a key made for my boyfriend because I thought it would be expensive and a hassle. Trusty old Yelp dissuaded me from going to Home Depot and instead sent me to L B. Thirty seconds and $1.25 later, I'm kicking myself for not making my man a key after our first date. Bonus: shares a parking lot with Mashti Malone's Ice Cream. What's a girl to do when it is 90 degrees in January? read more

The man that runs this place is so cute and knows the importance of dating a receipt! Fast and quality service. Very fair prices too.

I had a problem with my car -- the key wouldn't turn in the ignition. It took twenty minutes of jiggling around to get it to start. I took it to the Toyota dealership in Valencia and they quoted me upwards of $600 -- $325 to change the ignition cylinder and more to change the "rack" whatever that is. I said I couldn't afford it and got the car back from them. My neighbor suggested I try L B Locksmith. I hadn't even thought of having a locksmith fix it. I took it in and they were able to fix the existing ignition cylinder (no need for the $135 replacement, never mind a new rack) and cut me a new key for $105. I reckon they saved me about $500. That's worth 5 stars on Yelp. Is he going to win Miss Congeniality? I don't know -- but he was perfectly polite and professional to me and obviously very skilled at what he does. And he saved me $500. Very highly recommended. read more

Great work everytime! Always help me with my Keyport which is a not so conventional key to cut never have a bad experience.

These guys are the best. They are the only locksmiths I can count on every time. I'm a scooter mechanic and have had countless customers loose their keys. The guys at LB have mastered the long lost art of making a new key from the ignition lock. I bring the lock to them and they produce a new key usually in under 30 minutes. I have called around no one else even offers this service! The only other place I've heard of is way out in the valley and charges twice as much. I'm grateful to have found them and never hesitate to recomend them to others. They keep limited hours but its barely an inconvenience compared to getting a bad key cut elseware or having to order and install all new locks in my case. read more

He was terrific! Had 4 keys copied, and it was quick, only $10! I did double check them before leaving and noticed one was missing a small nick, and he was quite happy to correct the mistake. read more

I've been to this location 6 times all together, 2 times it was good and didn't have issues. The 3rd time I made a copy of my key and they charged me $10 yet the Key didn't work, then the last 3 times I went in to try to make a copy of my keys the older gentlemen tells me not without a cover letter which we Don't do. I offered email and he said yet. So I come back and he tells me he needs the email printed with a business card. I was so annoyed because it was my day off and I just wasted more time. I told him that I wish he would have said that when I was there last so I could bring the correct documents, He said He did tell me and I must be calling him a liar! It was insane... why would I need to lie over a key that I went previously to ask to make a copy and still come back? Save your time and money and go elsewhere! Terrible customer service arguing with a guest making me feel stupid for following his directions! read more

I had some keys that 6 other lock smiths were unable to copy. I saw this place when I was in the area. Guy said he could do it. I ordered 3 copies. When I got the keys in my hands, I lined them all up with the original. 2 were perfect, one was visibly way off. I asked the guy if he could redo it and he got offended. He said something to the affect of, "I've been doing this for 26 years. If you don't like it, just leave them all. If I did it, it's good." I could see that it was NOT good. I persevered and he got more and more upset. Eventually I held the key up in his face and said "STOP TALKING AND LOOK AT THE KEYS." He did, and said that it was off. He redid it. So, the long and short of it was that as far as customer service is concerned, this place leaves a bit to be desired. But at the end of the day I got 3 functioning keys that no one else could do and the price was right and it only took a few minutes. read more

This place is not only incredibly convenient but the guy is super nice and quick. I was in and out of there in about 3 minutes and a simple key only cost me $1.25. What a steal compared to some of the other places that wanted to charge and upwards of $4+ dollars for 1 simple key. Got home and the key worked perfect. read more

Needed 2 keys duplicated for my Dodge Avenger I allready programmed them myself and looked at the reviews of several key shops the review for this one said "they were rude" so as a professional myself I took that as a good review! However he was anything BUT rude( was kinda let down a little) he did a great job in only moments! And for cheap!!! People like this have been dealing with your problem for years and as a customer You have been dealing with your problem for minutes or maybe hours. If they are rude to you, then you have done something stupid and deserve a rude response! If you have a key that is stamped "do not copy" at least have the common sense to at least cover or hide that message! don't get mad cuz you tried to copy something that is illegally to copy and cry about it you should put some kind of effort other that jumping in the car and showing up. I don't like to look like a Idiot so I will do my part before I arrive, why can't everyone else? HELLO!!!!!!!great place! Awesome service! Won't go wrong with these people!!!!!! Thanks!!! ILL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Locked myself out of my apartment on my way to work. Called and they were there in 10 minutes and had my door open in quickly. Friendly, great at what they do! Highly recommended!!! read more

So quick, so easy. My husband swears the guy popped out four keys in under six seconds and charged less than $2. Without being prompted, he even made each key in the same color of metal as the originals. Since keys vanish into thin air in our home, it's great to have this little shack so close by. read more

We drove our daughter a newer car from Texas last week and only had one expensive Honda key. Instead of paying $200 to a dealer, LB made us a laser cut spare for $75 that opens the doors and starts the engine! Plus spare keys for her apartment for $3. What great service! read more

Awful. They tell you one price on the phone and then see you (not your key, but you) in person and decide if they're going to overcharge you. Will never go back. Would rather deal with honest, non-discriminatory, and polite business people. read more

Ryan is amazing! I lost my key while I was moving at 9 pm. He was the only Locksmith that would come and assist me with getting my car key replaced for my 2003 GMC Envoy. He was so helpful and educated me on the process for creating keys as well as knowing the difference between a licensed locksmith and a scam artist, you definitely need to know the difference so your car won't ends up being stolen after a con artist creates a key and returns to to steal. This man is an angel! Hopefully I won't need another key but if I do I'm only calling him!! read more

Good guys. Went their today. They are honest and decent fellows. I wish them the best in a crazy area of Hollywood.

My door handle was broken and I was locked in my apartment. He came on Christmas Eve at 4pm and crawled through my balcony window on the 12th floor to get in. NOW THAT IS SERVICE. He came promptly and as stated and his prices were very reasonable and he replaced the door handle and lock with high quality for less than I expected. Would definately use him again. read more

Very fast , i am very satisfied. Using the old machine!! I went to Home Depot first, they have all these computerized equipment which is such a BS!!! Takes way longer to make the keys and when I got the keys finally and went home, the key didn't work properly I had to break it. That's why I am convinced the old machine is the best and this guy on La Brea has it and he is good and fast 1min and I am gone! Thanks. Nina read more

I had a ski rack of which the keys where lost for. I took the rack to another locksmith before here and they could not get it open. This place not only opened it, but made new keys for it for a reasonable price. What better place to handle lock out problems? read more

These guys are the best! Reasonably priced not to mention excellent sense of humors--a must when dealing with stressful lock/key situations!

It took Home Depot 20 minutes to figure out they didn't have the right key to make copies (which I still don't believe) and it took this dude 60 seconds to make 3 copies. I wasn't there long enough to determine how friendly or unfriendly he was... if you just want a key made that will work this is your guy. read more

Sweet old-school service. A long-standing small business with a convenient parking lot. You can get Mashti Malones icecream while you wait.

I've used LB for many years. Completely trust them to make a key right the first time. They also come to your site if you need a lock changed or have locked yourself out and have always been reliable and on time. They are fair in their pricing and don't "adjust" the price based on how much you need their services, unlike some emergency locksmiths I've used. read more

super nice guys..open early and they have parking .. very convenient which if you live in the area you know how awesome that is .....

Needed two keys cut, the gentleman was done in less than 2 minutes. Cheap and cheerful.

I was locked out, they arrived in 10 mins and I was back in my apartment a minute later! Fast, reliable and cheaper than most in the area!

Quick, but not a very convenient location in a cramped strip mall with very little parking, and hours aren't convenient if you work 9-5. I also came here after hearing reviews that they will copy "DO NOT DUPLICATE" keys and he refused to because he didn't have a written note. While that makes sense for security purposes, it was still disappointing because I rushed to get this done while they were still open and I had only decided to come here because of previous Yelp reviews saying that they would do this. I'd also been told in the past that you simply needed to bring these to a bonded locksmith and it would be okay to have those copied (and, in fact, did that in the past -- perhaps that place was doing it under the table, but who knows). Regardless, make sure you're aware of this before you try to go over there. read more

I locked myself out of the house. The locksmith showed up within 10 minutes of my phone call. He was upfront with pricing and what he needed to do. Great service! read more

Excellent service and prices. I have been going there for over 30 years and every key works every time! (Unlike chain hardware store keys which seldom work and cost more).. Great to have them in the community for such a long time. read more
