Mike was awesome. We were locked out of our cabin and in a bind. He calmly and politely guided us through our options - how long it would likely take and what the possible outcomes would be. You can tell that Mike has a wealth of experience and is a consummate professional. We had a digital deadbolt where the battery had died, and he was able to drill the keyhole and swap it out with one he had on hand. He even replaced our 9V battery while he was in there! Obviously, you'd never want to be locked out - but in a stressful time, Mike is exactly the person you want to help you out. read more

Mike is THE best! Headed to Tahoe and forgot the key to your ski/bike/cargo rack? I called Mike in a panic wondering how I'd get my skis out of my locked Yakima rack and he was able to make me a key from an old VW gas tank key. (He said it's not as uncommon as I'd imagine.) Store his info next time your mid-journey on 80 and forgot a key. Or in the Auburn area and locked out. Or just because he's a great guy to work with. read more

So happy with Mike from Lively Locks & Dead Bolts. He called us back quickly and showed up on time. Very happy with his prompt service!

I was having trouble with my front door lock and called for assistance. He was out to my house within the hour and quickly identified the problem, fixed it and taught me things I didn't know about my lock. (I'd only lived in the house 22 years, LOL!) Then he made me some extra keys, at no charge. Great timely and professional service! read more

If you ever find yourself in a bind, say like, you've somehow misplaced your car keys, then this is the guy 2 call. His name is Mike and he is a really good locksmith and was very professional. He was also $50.00 cheaper than the "other guy." I'm super happy. Support local businesses! -Aaron W. Colfax, CA read more

Mike was great over the phone. When we hooked up at my house to have him make me a new car key, it had already been a long frustrating day for him. So when the first key he made for me didn't work after he got a code from Toyota, he was bummed, but said it was part of the deal. Mike said that one out of every 10 codes did not work... so it wasted the key. (WTH Toyota???) Fortunately he had two with him. He was so kind to not charge me for the wasted key. For the first time in 2 weeks I have a car again! My key was really, really lost! If Mike had not come, I would have paid more at Toyota, AND, I would have had to tow my car there from Colfax. Thank you Mike for quick, reliable, and complete service at a savings from other more challenging options. read more

Had a bunch of Truck Bed toolboxes without working locks. Mike happened to be finishing up a job down the street and was able to stop by in less than 30 minutes. By the time he finished up, all of my toolboxes had working locks (except one that will need a new set of locks ordered). Mike was very professional. He even threw in a new set of keys for my vehicle while he was at it! Lively locks has been a staple of this community for a long time, I hope they are around for many years to come. read more

Mike is amazing. He is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, flexible, fast and affordable. I needed multiple locks changed/re-keyed in a hurry, and I needed Mike to be on call, both as to day and time. I was dependent on someone else's schedule, so could only give Mike a vague idea of when I needed him. He said, OK, he would work with me. When I had the day pinned down, I still wasn't sure of the time. Mike was ok with that. When I finally got a time set, he was ready to come out, and there was another delay. He adjusted to that also. We were finally ready for him in the mid-afternoon, and he was there right on time. He brought everything he needed in his mobile shop. No running out for more parts or supplies. And then in about an hour he changed 14 locks, yes, 14!, making my house safe and secure at a price far less than I expected. It would have taken me at least two days to do what he did. I can't recommend or praise him enough. read more
