What a pleasant surprise! Eric and his assistant showed up when expected and were so nice!!! Eric is a magician with locks and adjustments and so many other things that we needed. He obviously has the knowledge and experience. He miraculously had everything that we needed right there in his truck. That was amazing. All of the different things we wanted to be done were completed on the same afternoon. I really appreciate Eric's attention to detail. He and his assistant even cleaned up everything, including vacuuming the area to get all the dust, etc. Five stars aren't enough. I highly recommend Eric and Locksmithology. read more

Erik Itelman came on a short notice after we spoke over the phone. He's replaced both front door and patio locks. Great experience and we do recommend to use his services. read more

Eric is the nicest, honest, and a professional guy. I locked my family out of my house and he was available to come right away and get me in my house in about 3 minutes! He's quick, efficient, and honest. I highly recommend him! I would definitely use him to install a keypad for my door! Thank you Eric! read more

Called Eric and he arrived less than 2 hours later, same day. He rekeyed our newly bought house with Mul-T-Lock keys. One of the deadbolts wasn't working right and he was able to rebuild instead of me having to buy a new one which saved some money. Nice guy and seemed to know his stuff read more

Eric came the same day I called to look at a broken lock. My house was built in the 1970's and still had the original, easy-to-pick locks. It was resumed past time to upgrade! Within 2 hours, Eric and his assistant had replaced all four locks with high quality, matching key locks. He advised us to only put a deadbolt between the garage and kitchen, as we had locked ourselves out more than once. He chose colors that matched the rooms, bored larger holes when necessary, and cleaned up entirely. Most importantly, he explained the value of these locks to my husband and me. read more

GREAT LOCKSMITH. Verry detailed and organized. Also is very fast responding. I would recommend him at the highest profession.

The review left by a tenant Michael T. was completely erroneous and spiteful. I have used Eric on my personal residence and two of my commercial buildings. He has been invaluable for me regarding keys and security. He was contracted for one of my condominiums. After changing all locks and keys to high security (several thousands) you bet I dispersed them with each tenant signing for possession of the key and stating that any broken or lost key would cost tenant $100 to replace. These are special keys that cannot be duplicated. No web site can reproduce the key. This tenant was simply disgruntled because somehow jamming the key he broke it in the lock. Eric has been and continues to be a valuable vendor for me personally and the various commercial properties. I was quite annoyed to see someone bad mouth him for no good reason Ge service and products are epic. So sorry Eric someone spoke so out of line . read more

He came to my house and changed 3 locks. I had to change the locks because I took out a restraining order against my ex boyfriend. He is very proffesional and nice. I highly recommend his services. read more

Showed up on time and cracked open a floor safe with speed and precision, great to to talk to and will definitely be using him in the future for anything locksmith related read more

I have used Eric twice now and he is great at what he does. I have never had any issues with his work or products. Lovely and very helpful. I highly recommend. BD read more

Very much appreciate the responsive and professional service. Needed deadbolts installed for our business and Eric was able to come and install on the same afternoon that we called. Beautifully done installation and could not be happier. So happy to know that this level of service is still available! read more

What a great experience !!! I lost the code to my safe which had valuable items inside, and needed to get it open ASAP. I called a few places but none were experts in dealing with safes. I finally called Eric at Locksmithology which assured me over the phone he can handle the job. Eric was able to open the safe in a short time , the best part was he did it in a way I would not lose and have to buy a new safe which was very important to me. Eric was very professional and on time. I would use him again if needed. read more

Wonderful service and people. Moved into a home about a year ago that had 2 safes that needed to be worked on. One we couldn't open. Eric was wonderful and very efficient. Highly recommended read more

I locked myself out of my house right before leaving for a long trip. Eric was quick to arrive, he was friendly, professional, and was gentle in making sure not to damage my lock. In little time, he was able to get me back into my house. Thank you!! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I was so impressed with Daniel and his boss, Eric. They were very quick, competent and easy to work with. The price was very competitive and the work focused on details, professionalism and attentiveness. read more

I'm a big fan. In the times I've called them, emergency or otherwise, they've been very responsive. Friendly, fast and thorough. They installed my initial locks and did a great job; and when I called them for additional keys, they actually identified that something had gotten stuck in my lock that was inhibiting the new keys and fixed it on the spot at no additional charge. I would recommend them highly for their service and professionalism. read more

Eric is super coooool, efficient, and resonable. Never had this issue come up where my front door was stuck closed for 6 days now! Im kind of handy, but this one was beyond my skills. He managed to get the job done quickly. Pleasant to speak with. Highly recommend! Good deal for the money! read more

Clear, fast, efficient, professional, and has all the FBI and state certifications required. Very happy, will definitely work with them again read more

Had a great experience they installed high-security locks at my house and I bought a very good safe from them. Awesome job locksmithology Thanks read more

If you looking for fast, expert service with no nonsense, call these guys. Our electromagnetic locking mechanism went out over the weekend. We waited on our PREVIOUS locksmith vendor till Tuesday morning when I gave up and started looking elsewhere. Seriously, there are NOT as many qualified locksmith's out there as one might think. I found them around 11am - they were en route w/i one hour and finished by 1pm. Could not dream of a better experience! Thank you very very much Eric! read more

Eric was amazing! He came out at 8pm on a Sunday night, and rescued me from a dark parking lot, when I couldn't get ahold of anyone else in the phone book. My car freakishly locked itself with the key FOB, my purse, and my cell phone inside. He was quick and professional and didn't take long to arrive, either. I would totally recommend using Eric for any locksmith needs. read more

Eric came and superseded my expectations. His work was clean and efficient and very reasonably priced. It is clear thaat he has been doing this for a long time and knows what he is doing. read more

Go elsewhere for push-to-start key fob replacements. I called for a quote and he quoted me HIGHER than the dealership. Either their prices are extremely high or he tried to take advantage of the fact that I had zero keys for my car and was in a bind. $350 for one key! The dealership wasn't even that high for one, and most other locksmiths quoted me $375 to $400 for TWO keys. I'm sure they are great, and get the job done, but no one wants to pay for a missing key, let alone pay more than necessary. read more

Loved that they showed up in a mask as safety is priority right now! They were on-time, professional and HONEST! I will refer them to family and friends for LiFE!!! Thank you Locksmithology!! read more

Very efficient and reasonable pricing, Eric was amazing and I highly recommend him to everyone and I would most definitely use him again if needed. read more

Thank you Eric! The lock on my front door gave up and apparently it was a complex lock (Baldwin). I called a few companies and thay told me $15 on the phone .but when thay showed up thay demand more then $850!!! Eric came over and rebuilt it for under $295. Very good job! Fast , officiant and cost affective. read more

Used them previously to change the locks on my huse and security gate. The lock at my office broke so I called Locksmithology again. Thay came out right away replaced it and rekeyed it to my existing key. I highly recommend this company. Thay are honest and fair in thair prices. read more

Quick efficient & easy. These guys came out at a moments notice after I had my place broken into. They went through the house and installed locks on any possible break in entry points in the same day. Also fortified my sliding glass doors with floor and ceiling locks read more

If you need a locksmith this is the place and the guy. Eric is very knowledgeable. He knows what he is doing and what he is talking about. He put three deadbolts in for me. read more

I called them and they quoted $95.00 for a house call. They came and fixed they lock by jiggling the key that was stuck in they lock. They charged me $150.00, for 2 minutes of "labor". When I have an electrician or plumber and they quote a house call figure, that usually includes the first hour. Not these people. Happy about their work, but unhappy about the way they quote a job. I would give NO stars, but it seems that is impossible. read more

I have hired Eric to fix, update and create new keys for two of my homes within the last two years. He and his team are extremely professional, very responsive and are fair with pricing. It's refreshing to know I can call him and he will take care of business with a great attitude, in a timely manner. I have already referred him to friends and will continue to do so. read more

Eric was in and out in under an hour. He cracked a heavy duty safe for me and was a pleasure to work with the whole time. Not a scammer, but a great guy! Thank you, Eric!! read more

I just got home 45 minutes ago and realized I left my house keys at work...2 HOURS AWAY. I called Locksmithology and within 20 minutes they came and got my door open with no hassle whatsoever.

Eric was awesome and saved me! He was so professional when I called from Orange County in search of someone who could help the next day change all the locks on my relatives house in Sherman Oaks. He didn't hesitate in quoting me a very reasonable price, booking me for my desired time, and showing up right on time the following day. Called me from sight once work done and I paid over phone with credit card. So professional, reasonable, and nice!! I'd not hesitate to use him again and recommend him to all I know! Hillary Costa Mesa read more

Had somewhat of a crisis need for a re-key on Saturday at 5 pm. Eric answered right away and arrived within 20 minutes! In talking about what I needed, Eric suggested a few options and let me know the cost of each. I decided to go for a somewhat pricier but much more secure front door lock. He explained everything he was doing, went over the programming for the lock and cleaned up the bit of sawdust from the job. He had to modify the existing handset so the new lock would fit and it looks great! I would highly recommend Locksmithology for any of your locksmithing needs! read more

Eric was prompt and professional. He took the time to explain all the services, products and upgrades. It was an interesting education in the technological advances of the trade. I am very happy with their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of locksmith service. read more

I locked myself out of my home and decided to check Yelp for a local locksmith to assist in getting in. Contacted Locksmithology based on the excellent reviews. Great choice! He arrived within 25 minutes as stated. Eric was extremely friendly, helpful and imparted a lot of knowledge about security, locks, and safes. read more
