The Baseline: For a locksmith the service must be friendly, they must be able to repair/change/key the lock, and the rate must match the service. Service Requested: There were two things I have come to Lupe's for which was rekeying several locks so i was only operating off two keys (down from 5) and then I went to the shop to get copies made in mass for employees. For the rekeying service, Lupe came with his mobile van and was able to change all my locks without any issue. Lupe is a master at his craft and is friendly, accommodating, and efficient in preforming it. For the copies I went to the store and Tony made them extremely fast and precise. It was much faster and better than the auto-kiosks you will see in home improvement stores. Quality: My rekeyed locks work great and the copies were flawless. Great quality. Value: You are paying for skill and quality coming to Lupe's and you are paying for that skill. For the multiple services I received I dealt the price was fair. read more

Horrible service, was very rude and they seem to hate women. The old man claim he doesn't speak English and laughs while trying to get service from their mess up. The older guy said do I speak English and walked away after saying he couldn't replace a battery for a faulty car fob I purchased from them three months ago. They are scammers beware do not go here for any service. Horrible and hopefully they close soon with all that's going on in the world now. Only reputable businesses should be operating. Update, after I called my husband to come handle this situation, the older guy did replace the battery as he said 50x for free. The old racist man just laughed,. I just needed service after the initial issue. Still wouldn't recommend these womanizer and sexist men at this location. The fact that you keep replying with lies show the fact that you are a scammer. The car was not a 2012, it was a 2016 and so what we purchased a new key from you and it stop working. Sorry we don't use fake documents and get new vehicles. We work hard for the things we have and wanted you to fix the issue by getting the key to work but you lied and offended the battery after my husband got on the phone. Karma will get you and you will reap what you sow........... now go figure out another scam. Also we went to the locksmith on 118th and Hawthorne by AutoZone and the guy was very nice and gave us an original key for $200 not a fake factory key. So again who is the scammer. The best 200 we ever spent and I bet we have no issues. I have the recording and can hopefully post it here as well. Now let it go viral on TikTok... read more

If I can give 0 stars I would. Worst locksmith ever. They are nice when your spending your money after that they talk to you crazy like you don't understand English. Bought a car key and 4 months later it doesnt work. They said they couldnt help me its a 30 day warranty. Dont buy from these SCAMMERS they sell off brand factory keys for over $200 that wont work on your car in a month. Never again​ Update : I recorded the whole interaction and will post it on TikTok so all the lies your telling will be seen. The key is still broken and does not work like i stated before we left. So the "$10" battery replacement for my key when I spent $160 still didn't resolve the issue. As stated noone was expecting anything for FREE. I wanted my key to work considering i bought it less than 6 months ago. I definitely wasnt gonna buy a new key from you when the key i just purchased was trash. I will be purchasing a new key else where. And before leaving the piece of the key was broke off and I showed the "manager" it wouldn't stay together and was still BROKE. it took this man hearing my dad on the phone to do anything after yelling and being hostile and combative with women. They are incompetent and shouldn't be working let alone working customer service. read more

Affordable price. The guy was quick and efficient and made sure the key worked in my car! Def coming back

BUYER BEWARE!! Requested for my door to be unlocked. I explained on the phone it was a mechanical door lock. He mentioned it would be $125 and I agreed. Upon arrival he didn't know how to unlock the mechanical door and asked if I had another entry. We went to the back which has a doorknob lock and deadbolt. He proceeded to unlock both with no problem. He then asked to see the front door which I thought was great and amazing service UNTIL... he "completed" the work (without fixing the door)and then told me, "It's $125 for 1 lock, your back door has 2 locks so that's an extra $25 and because I opened the front door it's another $25, so your total is $175. This was never explained or disclosed while unlocking the back door when he discovered 2 locks. I paid him but will NEVER call nor recommend Lupe for locksmith services. read more

Lupe's Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Went to get two sets of extra keys for my plane, one small key and one round key. After the keys were cut I compared the round keys to the original key and the back of the key didn't match almost at all. I told them politely that I don't think the keys would work because the topside of the key was nowhere near shaped like the original key. Now I've had bad replacement keys made before and they don't work well. These keys were objectively worse than the bad keys I already have. The guy in charge (owner, manager, idk) immediately says "if he doesn't want the keys then take the keys. I asked if they could try again because I don't think they'll work. The guy got super defensive and started yelling at me about how long he's been in the industry. I tried calming the situation because he became unnecessarily aggressive but he kept insisting the keys would work, I know they wouldn't. Absolutely horrible customer service and it's never okay to start yelling at customers. read more

I had my car key hole vandalized. They took good care of me. Good prices & good service. I recommend Lupe's Locksmith.

Quick service!! Within minutes of arriving, lupe (felt like he was my dad helping out his daughter haha) was very friendly and knew exactly what to do. We've had so many issues with our lock but he knew how everything worked. Definitely has a background of knowing a lot about locks no matter how difficult ours was. Service: Outside heavy iron garage gate that had a double bolted lock. Key hole broke off and was very difficult to lock. Result: smooth key lock and zero issues and all within 15 mins. Highly recommended. read more

A great business and a true Hawthorne gem. I needed a replacement key FOB for my Leaf. Two different Nissan dealerships quoted me about $475 but I'd heard and read great things about Lupe's so off to Hawthorne Boulevard I went. I was quoted $255 with no funny business and completely transparent pricing. Within 15 minutes I had my second FOB. The service here is straight outta the good old days: friendly, professional, and honest. I would go back to Lupe's for all my locksmithing needs without any hesitation. Another outstanding reason to shop local! read more

In Nov. 2024 i went to Lupe's locksmith to purchase an extra remote for my 2013 Toyota Venza. The older gentlemen there helped me with purchasing and setting up the remote to the car ($165.00).Very happy. Had to go back in Jan. because the battery died, new battery $10.00. This is my wife's car, I rarely drive it only to put gas and take her to doctor's appt. Today is July 21st. over the weekend the remote stopped working. I bought a new battery (2 in a pack $8.00). Still not working, NOT happy. I went back to Lupe's today, the younger gentlemen checked the remote. He said it's not the battery, it's the circuit board. He said they cannot fix it and I would have to buy a new remote for $150.00. I asked about the warranty He said it's 30 days. I guess it not a problem for him when a remote fails in 8 months time to sell the CUSTOMER another one. It is a problem for me because I will not be buying from this place. VERY VERY UNHAPPY! read more

OMG! the customer service rocks! I went to Home Depo for a mailbox key which failed, so I remembered Lupe's from a previous visit. The older gentleman made two keys and offered to modifying them if needed. At the home the lock would not cooperate so I returned to them store. The gentleman drove over and tweaked the keys & lock and voila! and did not charge me extra. Lupe's has my business for life. Thanks, Lup read more

Got a new key fob for my explorer! Half the price and half the time of the dealership. Fantastic customer service

I had the pleasure of working with Tony on my lost keys situation. I lost them on Friday right before heading on a cruise and didn't realize it till Monday, once I returned. I immediately turned to yelp and came across Lupe's Locksmith. I called and it didn't long for Tony to answer and assist me. Due to having a new class Mercdes (CLA45 2014), Tony had to assure that he could make my key. Within 15 minutes, he went straight to my house to begin the work. Unfortunately, the company's server was down so he couldn't finish the same day but I didn't have anything to do that same so it wasn't a big deal. He came first thing Tuesday morning before 9am and finished the job all at a reasonable cost for the type of car I have, which was just awesome and convenient. Tony was very helpful, nice, and top of his work. I'm thankful to have come across him and his company. I would trust them for any of your locksmith needs. read more

I wish I could give a zero star review. Be ware of these scammers that try to up-sell you and waste your time. Called early in the morning 10:00 AM, for a quote on a Car FOB for my 2015 Kia. The lady asked me to hold, which I did, while they checked if they had the FOB in stock and the price of said FOB. Finally I get a quote for $250 plus tax for the Key and Programming. Lady says she'll call me later on the day so I can take my car and get the key programmed. They finally call at 3:30 and right of the bat try to tell me to just go tomorrow. I was like, "well you said you could do it later today so I was waiting for you, and I told you I needed it today" She says to hold on that she was going to "check", she comes back and says can you come right now, so I said sure. On my way there I get the "technician" on the phone who informs me there was a "misunderstanding". that the FOB was not $250 but $300 and that they did not have it. I this point I just hung up on these scammers and turned back. I don't appreciate businesses that waste both my time and that try to up-sell you just because you say you need something on that day. I clearly communicated what I needed and the lady clearly communicated the price and that it was in stock. I lost all day waiting for these scammers and they just waited til the end of the day to force me to pay the price they wanted to up-sell me. I will be filing a complaint with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, scammers like these need to be held accountable. read more

Amazing work from this guy! My key fob had died on my car and I was delaying getting it replaced because if the price quotes I received from various locksmith. So this meant I had to use the key manually and of course I locked myself out of my car once and another locksmith charged me $150 to get me in my car. It took him seconds to open the door. I was desperate so I paid. 3 weeks later my wife has my car and locks herself out... I get upset because I'm sure I'll be paying another $150 but this time I search Google and Lupe is the first locksmith I tried. I ask them how much it would be to replace my fob. I expected to hear $300 but I was surprised to hear them say it would be $150 and that would include going to my wife and unlocking my car for her. I couldn't believe it! So they went to my wife quickly and got her in and created the fine and 2 spare keys for my wife on the spot! What amazing service! The fob is even legit with a Dodge emblem on it with all features working including remote start. So amazing! Thank you so much for being awesome! If you need a locksmith Lupe's you're go to! read more

Amazing! Lost my car keys and no spare. I rang and spoke to a gentleman who was clear, polite and concise. I told him what car I had and where it was. He gave me a price and approx time he could come out and true enough like the other reviews they were great. I got a new key cut and programmed, a new remote alarm and everything done next to my car. Also they were cheaper than my AAA membership callout which didn't include the car remote. Total price $250. I would happily recommend them. Thankyou Lupe! read more

Tony is the man ! Not one to write reviews but their service was so good and fast and straight to he point I didn't mind paying what I had to pay. Got my keys stolen from my workplace. Found him on offer-up and called him right away and before I know it I had a new key in my hands. Asked other shops and they all lagged; gave me minimal information. They should learn from Lupe's Locksmith you can tell they love their work. Appreciate the service thank you guys so much read more

They are the worst ever, I called to ask about the price they told me $100 to reprogram the key. I said ok, and drove all the way in traffic when I got there they told me if it didn't work you gonna pay $50!!! I was explaining to them that no one told me about paying $50 if didn't work, they guy told me you didn't ask and he start shouting and screaming at me, that's the bald guy in the shop and the one I talked to him on the phone, he was so rude to me, I waited till he finished shouting and then I started talking he left me. It's the worst experience ever, don't even think to go there. I normally don't write reviews but the way the bald guy treated me was indescribable. And they don't accept cards too only cash in 2023. I don't wanna stop writing about how bad they treated me and how bad this the bald guy was mean to me but anyway you guys got the idea. It's the worst idea ever to do business with them!!! read more

Tony was fantastic. My key broke off of my 2004 Audi A4 transponder thing and wouldn't work when I inserted it attached to pliers and tried to turn the ignition. Now that the car was in "Safe" mode, I had to call someone... They can do any new car (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc.) and Tony was great, efficient, and knew what he was talking about. Didn't take that long to take care of it all either. I thought pricing was extremely reasonable. I had to get a new key cut, and had him make an extra as well, just in case. Would call them again in a pinch! read more
