Gary did a great job replacing our front door handle and deadbolt. Would use him again. Support veterans!

There's quite a few choices for locksmiths in the area. And I'm very glad I ended up choosing Garry. He was super professional and knowledgeable about locks, fast, very good price and did a great job. Also, communicating with him was extremely easy--very quick to respond. And overall great experience. Will def. call him again if I need any lock work in the future. read more

They fixed my wall safe super quickly and were super friendly! Gary very thoroughly explained the locking/unlocking procedure (I haven't been able to open it for decades I had long forgotten), which was a struggle initially so full credit to him for his patience! He even gave me some tips of the maintenance of my other safe! I highly recommend Locksmith Doctor! Definitely using them again! read more

We had called Gary as we needed the locks changed on a couple doors and he was able to accommodate a last minute request. He was prompt and on time and was very professional. He came out to the house and changed the locks and door hardware on the front door and just had to re-key the lock on the garage door which helped save some money. Gary gave us a good deal to do both doors and overall did a great job. I'd highly recommend his services. Thanks for all your help Gary! read more

I called the Locksmith doctor and he went out the very next day. Quick service. Replaced my door handle and looks great. Very happy with it

Garry did a great job, showed up on time, and went above and beyond to point out how I could maximize security of the locks. Very reasonably priced. This is my new locksmith - I will use him anytime I need this kind of work done. read more

Gary answered my yelp request promptly with a good rate compared to others that responded. He arrived very quickly, handled the job well and was nice throughout the service. I'd call again, if somehow I find myself in need of lock services. read more

Gary was prompt and able to quickly get me back Into my house! 10/10 would recommend in an emergency. read more

Gary was there right away. He did a nice job re-keyi Ing my 2 locks and removing my broken key from my other lock. He got there quickly and finished quickly with good service and he also cleaned my locks to make them easier to open. Thank you Gary !!! read more

Excellent service. I had accidentally locked my bedroom door & did not have my key with me. Fortunately I had my phone with me & I was able to call. The gentleman Michael was busy that night & I HAD to wait. (Which I expected) After almost two hours, Michael showed up) He then proceeded to unlock my bedroom door. That's all he had to do. He even took $25 off my total price. Very nice service, thanks Michael. read more

I don't get locked out often and this was the second time I've called a locksmith in my life so I didn't know too much of what to expect. Sunday afternoon, a lot of locksmiths are closed or not answering their phones for whatever reason. The Locksmith Doctor was the first one to finally answer the phone and he was able to give me a quote of $90 to unlock the one lock on my door. He would have charged me $85 but there's a $5 surcharge if using Venmo. Anyway, called him and he said he'd be here in about 20 minutes and he was right on time! Gary was friendly and he informed me that picking a lock is a 50/50 chance of working. He was picking my lock for about 25 minutes and we still couldn't get in. This was the 50% of not working I guess. Next resort, was drilling and changing the lock completely. This was where we started having negative feelings towards Gary and his work. He became extremely rude to my property manager who was asking questions for clarification. Gary gave starky comments such as "I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to her!" or "you don't know what you're talking about!" (which we received twice) followed by a "I have a bachelors degree in human physiology and I went back to school for locksmith." Just unnecessary comments when my manager was just asking questions like "isn't there a universal key?" Or "how much will this cost" It was obvious my manager wasn't a native English speaker and was not a locksmith himself so he doesn't understand much of the unlocking a key process. None of his questions were to question Gary's integrity or expertise but purely just questions any customer may ask. Gary then drilled and changed the whole lock. He said the extra cost would be what costed him to buy the lock ($20). He had a spare lock in his car so it was not like he went out to buy a new one. The $20 was fair. However, what did make me question Gary's integrity was what I paid for at the end. The total should have been the 90+20=$110. I'm not sure how I miscalculated this but I asked him "it's $120 right?" To which he replied "mhm." Okay so I paid him $120. I should have paid $110 instead. This is partially my fault for miscalculating, though as a business owner, he should have had more integrity. I could care less about the $10 but the situation really showed his lack of integrity and professionalism. I will give 2 stars since he eventually got me in my home. But wouldn't recommend. read more

We needed a locksmith to help us gain access to our rental property that the tenant vacated & didn't return the keys. I was able to coordinate a time with Gary to meet, he confirmed and made it really easy. He was great at what he does, very prepared, respectful & efficient! read more

Responded quick and got the job done very efficiently on an upcoming listing! Thank you so much!

Garry aka Locksmith Doctor came though in a pinch for us, friendly, professional guy with a good sense of humor, his jokes helped to lighten the mood considering the circumstances; it really helped us to calm our nerves as we've never had to call someone to pick a lock for us before. On the phone LD said he could arrive in 15-20 mins, and was punctual with his arrival time. After showing Garry which door, it didn't take him long to get the door open. LD honored his quoted price over the phone. I would highly recommend his services and Garry if you are reading this we appreciate you! Thank you LD and if we or anyone we know are ever in a similar situation, you would be the first person we call. read more

gave this place a call and got a quite a quite got here within 15 minutes fast and efficient for a fair price would recommend

Very quick with his response time and service and great pricing. Would definitely hiring him again for another locksmith job.

Reached out and went out of his way to work with our schedule. Finished the job and gave great suggestions.

Called Gary, and he picked up call immediately. I explained it was NOT an emergency, but my front door lock was acting up. He showed up within 2 hours. He took the lock apart and repaired it. It works fine now. He's a very pleasant man. I would definitely recommend him. read more

Wonderful service and reasonably priced! Had great communication and very flexible with timing! Highly recommend

Used this locksmith today and was very pleased. Rekeyed 6 locks on 3 doors. He arrived exactly at the time he said and was very professional. read more

Gary's work was impressive and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone looking a good locksmith.

The Locksmith Doctor is exactly what I thought he would be when I read the Yelp reviews and his comments. He is straightforward, honest, forthright, the kind of guy you know you can trust. We needed a deadbolt and keyed lock replaced on our patio door and another deadbolt lock fixed. The patio deadbolt had to be drilled out. Fortunately, he had the special tools and drill needed for that kind of equipment. He came right away, he was efficient, competent, and fairly and reasonably priced. He was also humorous. There is no question that we will call the Locksmith Doctor should we ever need locksmith services again. read more

I did not get 5 star service or even close. Scheduled him for 8:30-10 am, he showed at 12:00 noon. Work was sloppy at best. Left a complete mess, ask for 6 keys and he left two. I thought the price was too high also.....save yourself some grief, use someone else. read more

Overall decent work and could rely on them to be there on time. I did feel a sticker shock when Gary quoted me $1,400 for a new lock hardware set!!! I should have asked for an itemized invoice because I could of went online to see if lock set was much cheaper online but I was in a rush to get it done. I'd advise anyone wanting to work with them to ask for itemized invoice of anything they purchase for you. Their price and transparency could be better. Decent service but definitely felt price gouged. read more

Amazing and quick service! Quick response time and price were reasonable... I will hire him again! Plus he is a veteran! Thank you, Gary, for your service!! read more

Couldn't be happier. Recently bought a condo and wanted to rekey the locks on the doors. Garry was super quick to respond, both for the initial quote and in subsequent days leading up to the job. It turns out our locks were not only old, but also very cheap quality. Garry suggested some nicer quality locks, did a quick Home Depot run, and got them installed same day. He worked on both regular deadbolt and doorknob locks, plus an electric smart lock. I would recommend and work with him again. read more

I will definitely recommend this locksmith to anyone. Job well done. Thanks so much to you Gary. From me who really appreciates GREAT service. read more

Gary was on time. He worked really quick and I got my lock rekeyed in just a few minutes. Fast response as well. And affordable!

Gary was amazing. We had an old, very intricate lock that was damaged by a Handiman (my fault for not calling Gary first!) Gary came to the house within an hour and had the lock replaced within a day. 100% recommend for all local services. read more

When you need a locksmith, you want someone with availability and integrity. Can't be Gary for that! He explained everything to me, walked me through my options, and got the job done for a reasonable price. read more

Gary was quick and effiencent in doing the work i asked for. i reccomend him for any of your locksmith needs.

In the middle of the night. I got locked out of my room (i live with others). At first he seems to be polite. I even sent photo by text if he can unlock and he said yes. When he came to my house, and started to try to figure out; He doesnt quiet seem sure what he was doing and keep saying "its 50/50 chance, but I will still charge you". I was like I did send out the picture first to see if he can make, and then when he mentioned that while try to figuring out to unlock. Nop, it is not acceptable. At last, he said "well I am not going to charge you, Im just going to leave". If he doesnt know how to do the job, why would bother to come? Not really suggesting this guy. read more

My dad just passed away and there were some issues so I needed to get the locks changed. I sent out a Yelp request for several quotes on a Sunday night and Gary replied right away and said $80/labor. Others didn't reply or wanted a call or wanted pictures. So, I went to my dad's property the next day to take pictures and sent them to the ones who asked. I also sent it to Gary even though he didn't ask for pictures and he replied right away indicated it was still $80/labor therefore I asked him to call me to see if he could come right away because I live far away. He was in Glendora and came to Baldwin Park and it was raining. I explained my situation and said I just wanted the easiest/quickest/cheapest way to change the lock. He suggested simply changing the actual knob/lock and even went to the local Home Depot to purchase it and came back and changed it. The product was $24 and labor $80, it took under two hours and he rounded it down to $100. He didn't charge any extra fees for mileage or going to the store or anything. I highly recommend Gary, he didn't try to upsell or take advantage, wore a mask, and seems to genuinely care. By the way, for the ones I sent pics to, one replied hours later after Gary left with a quote of $295. Another said they didn't do these kinds of things. and the third didn't reply at all. read more

With so many of our kids' activities, teams, and recreational things closed, we managed to scrape together a small pile of money from the #2020 savings, and purchased a home... nothing fancy, but after nearly a decade of renting, we decided to take the plunge into crippling debt towards eventual equity in a home investment. Once we got the keys, the first thing to do was... change the locks! Good old' Yelp led me to the Locksmith Doctor, aka Gary T. After exchanging a little information is Yelp messages, we arranged to meet at the new house the next morning. Gary arrived early, and took a look around at all the doors and locks. He made a recommendation to purchase smart-locks, which would allow all the locks to be set to a single key, and be pretty darn pick-proof. Hope I never have to find out. After a quick trip to pick up everything he needed, Gary got to work on all the doors: front, back, security door, back gate, and garage door-- door knobs and deadbolts for all. Everything was done in a couple of hours, and goodness knows I needed the time in the new house working on floors while he worked. Gary is a great guy, who does quality work at a fair price. We are very happy with his work and the comfort of knowing our new property is secure. Considering I already have a veritable night-custodian-like ring of 4,521 keys for work, I'm also glad to have a single key for the whole house. Gary wore a mask the whole time, in case you're wondering. Here's to hoping you're reading this at a time when we don't all have to do that anymore! We might be wondering how we're gonna refinish floors, scrape acoustic ceiling off, paint, move all out stuff, and clean up the old place with the hope of getting a few bucks back in our deposit. But I'm happy to check off the box next to "re-key the homestead," and glad that we found Locksmith Doctor to make it happen efficiently and effectively. read more

Garry came to the rescue after a genius gal decides to rush out of the house leaving her keys behind ‍. He not only responded timely but also came with a great quote and service. Along with some funny stories, he provided the needed service in a short and dire situation. Definitely recommend for future services. read more
