Called in to have house locks rekeyed/changed. James answered the phone and booked me for a date in less than a week (we were not an emergency change). James showed up right on time. He was in a uniform shirt, was friendly, identified himself, and got to work. All locks got adjusted as needed. All locks got lubricated! A couple of minor repairs got done. FANTASTIC! We wanted a couple of special character keys. Those are not carried on the truck. Oh well; James had plain blanks and made our keys. Paid for services rendered, and waved good-bye to james. A few hours later, our doorbell rang. It was a guy in full motocycle protective gear. Big helmut with heavy visor, thick leather jacked, protective pants, boots, and a beautiful motorcycle at the curb! Mototcycle man held out to character keys already cut to work in our new locks! A familiar voice (James) said he knew we were disappointed so he cut these - try them and make sure they work. They do! That's beyond the call of service! Thank you, James, so much! The character keys were special to us because the keys we were getting rid of were character keys. My husband had given them to me over 36 years ago when we bought our house and put in our first locks! James and his partner are not the same locksmiths who took care of my brother's car loks many, many years ago, but the work ethic, quality of work, and friendly professional service are just the same. Cars, RV's, houses - lock problems? Call Lock World. read more

So the Infiniti dealer calls my key fob "inoperable" - these Infiniti fobs are $340.00!!! - I save it anyway and swing by LOCKWORLD and Ernesto takes a look at it and says hmmm seems ok, grabs a quality battery (I had tried junky ones) pops it in and it works perfectly! So lockwhrld saves me $320.00 and now I have two operable key fobs for my Infiniti. SHAAAAAAAAME SHAAAAAAAAME on the Infiniti dealer in Colma for deeming this perfectly good piece off equipment "inoperable". Thank you Lockworld - and they let you pull into the garage while they fix your key. This is my go to place now forever. read more

These guys are great. They have specialized keys you can't find anywhere else in the city, and they helped me find parts I needed to fix a lock on my own. read more

I highly recommend using Lock World if you need lock assistance. I called for service on my unit and was given a time frame for a worker to arrive and price. The professional worker arrived before the time frame, completed the work I needed, and I paid the price that was quoted over the phone. If I need any lock work in the future I will call Lock World. Thank you.... read more

Great service--- I really appreciate their help - they were quick and helpful easy talk to. Highly recommended read more

Thank you Nestor. Last week I brought in my 2013 Audi A3. It needed a new lock cylinder or housing. In 4 hours he was done. Great job! Audi wanted my car for 4 to 5 days. Double + the fee. Thanks again really appreciated by this senior citizen! Martha read more

I had a problem with my car keys working electronically. The technician, James, simply reprogrammed the system...in 2 minutes! No charge. He could have said I need a new key...$ 3-400, but no. He was honest. Nissan would have ripped me off. Any way LockWorld = Honest. read more

Don't recommend them if you need a simple job done. They charged me for a call out service and minimum of one hour or labor when the lock required a spray lubricant that you can order on Amazon. I have used them in the past for a rekeying job and they were efficient and professional. But I found there charge for a service call plus an hour minimum of labor that only took 5 mins of time to be excessive. Or they could have explained to me you just need lubricant and you can order it on Amazon and only charged me for the service call. I guess doing business in the city is expensive, but I'm a small business owner too,. A little goodwill goes along way. I'll call one of the numerous other mobile locksmiths in the future. read more

Reid is the best. Amazing service. My apartment deadbolt lock is now flawless and even rekeyed to my original key. *Super* nice too.

Nestor, is the manager at this location. He demonstrated a remarkable amount of caring and integrity in fixing my ignition problem. The problem was worse than was expected initially but that didn't stop Nestor from persevering and resolving my car's ignition problem. Highly!!!! recommend Lock World to anyone needing their services. read more

Great service, super fast, super fair prices and knowledgeable. Nestor was great! Great service, super fast, super fair prices and knowledgeable. Nestor was great! read more

Last week I had my safe moved from my old house to my new condo. It required unbolting moving down a flight of stairs in my old location and up a few flights of stairs and re-bolting to the floor in my new home. It is a relatively heavy safe and I was concerned about the stairs being damaged in the process. I am here to say that Jared and James did a fantastic job. These guys were totally professional and knew exactly what they were doing. Not only that, they were kind and efficient in the process. Zero damage to any steps and 100% success. Based on my very positive experience with Jared and James I highly recommend this business. read more

I am in awe of the excellent work that locksmith Reid McConnell has just completed for me. My door could not open. There was nothing the matter with the lock, be he discovered the problem and he was able to adjust the metal that the bolt goes into and replace the weatherstripping so that now the door shuts easily and the key opens the door and double locks it easily. He was a very friendly worker and very efficient. read more

I have an older car. I'm talking 1990s old and bought it used. I didn't know what a key code what or to ask for it from the dealer. Fast forward to 2025 and the two keys are worn down, and I'm the only one who knows how to start the car in one smooth turn. The team at Lock World cut a new key inside of 15 minutes. Friendly, professional, and hands down the "key master" for home, and auto. read more

Aggressive Nestor showed up 2 hours late and asked me for cash payment after service was completed. I had called and was told credit cards were accepted. read more

I just finished getting a key fob replacement for my Infiniti. Excellent Service and good value. I am grateful they were able to get me right in and take care of this using an actual Infiniti-authorized key replacement. Last year, I had chosen to get a key fob from someone who was prob about $75 less. However, after a few months, the key fobs stopped working, and the person who did the work was nonresponsive. The keys the person used were NOT authorized replacements, along with most likely the equipment they used to program them. Bottom line, cheaper is not nec better. read more

Finally, I found a business that could duplicate my worn key for my 2021 Mazda. Fantastic quality, 4 of the same keys for $70. Worth it, so now I'm not going to worry about losing a key and that's the best value. read more

I had a fantastic experience! The service was friendly and the pricing was incredibly reasonable. I highly recommend this company and will absolutely be a repeat customer. read more

My go to key maker. They are able to remake hard to duplicate keys. Always there to help

Called to ask about getting a key made for my car. The guy who answered the phone was rude and acted as if my call was annoying him.

Best Prices EVER!!....I have a Vehicle where "Supposedly" You can only get a Key from a dealership. Normally,it would cost over $200 for 1 key, no FOB or alarm Chip. However, I didn't need a spare with those features. I paid less than $60 for 3 copies!!! TAKE A CHANCE, it's worth it!! read more

The service was so good, I had to write a review. I was in dire need of a new car ignition, seemingly hopeless because the dealer discountined replacement parts for my make and model. Lock World took the time to contact multiple junkyards across the Bay Area until they found every replacement part. The result - my car is better than new. I also appreciate the constant updates and clear communication from the team, and for their endless patience for all my questions. These guys are kind, empathetic, honest, and transparent. Cannot recommend enough!! read more

Someone tried to break into my Jeep - they didn't get in but they ruined the lock. We were able to scream at him and he ran away. But it was so bad that we felt it would be very easy for aomeone to finish the job. So we wanted it fixed asap. Got a couple of recommendations for Lock World. Called them and they had to check for the part. Called back in 10 minutes said they had it in and if I got there by 2pm they could have it done by 4 or 5pm. we also had just had our drivers side mirror smashed - we had the mirror and were waiting for our mechanic to install it. Asked them when we were there if they might be able to replace that also. said they would try. Called us at 4pm - got there and everything was done ! And the prices are very fair. Nice friendly staff also ! read more

Phenomenal business - speed of work, price of work and quality, Courteous kind staff. I recommend them wholeheartedly and appreciate The Garage referring them to me. I needed a Lexus key reprogrammed and Lexus dealerships said it couldn't be done, buy new ones for big amt but Lock World on Geary Boulevard and Blake St in San Francisco performed the work for way way less. God bless Nestor and team. read more

DROPPED IN: I went to their location to get a spare key for my 2007 INFINITI FX35. Just the key, not the FOB. I came in, then they told me to pull my car in. I backed it in, so that I can easily drive off once everything was complete. They said to be prepared to wait and hour. They finished it all within 30 minutes. They got really busy after I arrived at 3:20pm. Best to come in before the rush. They were all kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend their services and go back to them again. read more

Not the cheapest option but very efficient and reliable service if your ever locked out of (fill in the blank). Would recommend to others easily read more

A bit expensive than I anticipated but I needed the locks to be replaced. Nestor was REALLY helpful and professional.

Great service in under an hour. Replaced fob keys for two of my cars. Reasonable price. No nonsense. Friendly.

We use Lock World for all our locks at work. Ok service. Ok prices. The ordering seems to get confused sometimes.

Brought my own blanks which were standard keys, not special keys requiring a laser cut or a complex machine, it was a simple cut and took about 2 minutes to complete. The person who helped me charged $10 to cut a basic key which is more than double what a basic key cut cost. They didn't care I brought my own blanks, the price was the same to cut with mine or their blanks. If you have complex key to copy, they may be good for that but I simply cannot recommend this business for basic key cutting based on their (over) pricing. They don't post their prices anywhere either so just want other potential customers to be aware. read more

I am updating my reviews systematically. I recommend Lock World. I have had them work on a vintage motorcycle, a 1990 Honda Hawk GT. They were competent, efficient, not expensive, and pleasant to deal with. I also want to mention something I think they have fixed. Google was listing them as out of business. I actually called the shop to bring that to their attention (this is a few years back, pre-pandemic). So don't pay attention if it indicates they are not there; they are, and they are doing fine. To offer details: I had them work on the bike long ago, when it was new. The bike was stolen on Halloween 1993, trashed by the joyriders, and it had to rebuilt. The miscreants had hotwired it, which damaged the ignition. Everything had to be rekeyed. The insurance covered that, but they would not pay to have the gas tank or helmet lock, both which were intact, redone to match. (If you are not a motorcyclist, a single key should start the engine, open the gas tank lid, and also slot into the helmet lock, which is hidden underneath and to the side of the seat.) The result was the keychain had two keys on it. That is not a big deal. But when I had the bike restored, I figured I should address this minor issue, not noticeable to anyone except me, in the interests of doing a good job, rather than my usual "half assed" approach as my wife describes it. So I went there, dropped off the bike, went to lunch at the Burmese place down the street, came back, and we were all set. read more

Lock World has done a great job replacing the Honda Element key and remote fob that I lost back in 2020 - I've been using a valet key for almost 2 years! The service was prompt and the key and fob work perfectly. The price was also pretty reasonable, although not cheap - consider it an investment. Backstory - I went to Lockworld years ago to get the cylinder for a locking (with key) Honda OEM gas cap re-keyed to my ignition key versus the basic/cheap key that came with the locking OEM gas cap. Now 10 years later, that gas cap is not in great shape in terms of sealing, and the staff there took the time to look up the OEM gas cap again to confirm they can cut a key for a new locking OEM gas cap if I get one. While here I also got extra sets of house keys made at a low price. All keys worked perfectly the first time. read more

Need a car fob duplicated and car key laser cut? This is the place that does it in the City. Other locksmiths in town, like Don's, refer Lock World to customers. So, the locksmith's locksmith! Call before heading over, to make sure they can service your car. They do many car fobs, but not all. Some companies, like Audi, do not license the equipment to locksmiths and can only be done at the dealer (or non-licensed locksmith with grey market software), so you have to go to the dealer to get it coded. But Lock World will laser cut the physical key for half the dealer price. Lock World currently will cut and program fobs you bring to them and their service prices are super reasonable! I ended up having them laser cut my Audi keys then took the fobs to Audi SF for programming. Note: Audi SF charged a one-time program fee ($275), regardless if you bring them one or more multiple key fobs and they will do fobs a customer brings in :) read more

I would have appreciated some eye contact and a bit of a huddle. They know their stuff. It's probably a bit annoying dealing with the public.... that's the breaks folks. read more

This is the place to obtain copies of hard to find keys. These folks have a truly monumental collection of key blanks. From the bright clean premises I suspect they are very competent at locksmith work. read more

They were amazing! I called in and they gave a pretty reasonable quote for the key I wanted made! The person working was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely go back! read more

They are the best in town in terms of quantity of keys they can replicate. They have saved me $1k once cause no one else could make a copy of my mailroom key that was so old. read more

Nestor saved the day. My keys were stolen in San Francisco with my bag. I was told by my Geico, my insurance provider that there was nobody available to make a key for my car. I would have to take care of it myself. I didn't have a spare (learned that lesson). Other lesson, always wear your back across and in front of your body at all times. I called Metro, but they couldn't do it. When I asked for a suggestion, they told me about Lock World. I was offered an appointment between 5-6. The truck arrived around 5:30. The key was done about 6:30 and I was on my way. Nestor told me he's the only one who can my the key for my car in S.F. I was very lucky to have made that call. read more
