Bjorn is great!!! He responded to my email super quickly, pricing was very fair (I called around 5-6 different places), came on time and got the work done in a jiffy. Highly recommend! read more

After being completely scammed by a locksmith, I was thrilled with Bjorn the Maple Leaf Locksmith. He's a totally solid guy who did the the job quickly, on time, covid-safe and at very reasonable price. Watch out for the scammer locksmiths who will rip you off (especially during a lock emergency) and hire Maple Leaf Locksmith instead. read more

We lost our mailbox key but happened to have a picture of it. It was a long shot, but we asked Bjørn to "sight read" our key and try to remake it using the picture. Unfortunately, the key didn't work (which we knew would be a likely scenario), but we were really surprised that Bjørn refunded us immediately when we updated him. Thanks Bjørn! read more

Bjørn was SO helpful in figuring out a safe and secure way to rekey a new property for me. I 10/10 recommend and trust him to help make sure my home is extremely secure, he went above and beyond even in Covid to help make sure I was set up for success! read more

Super knowledgeable, quick work, and well priced. Can't beat that trifecta. Had him come out at 10 pm to change the locks on a house we just closed on. Priced as quoted. Had plenty of helpful tips for future work that could be done as well. read more

An expert is his field and passionate about what he does! I have a Baldwin mortise lock where it wouldn't lock properly and eventually the whole cylinder started spinning out. My local locksmith briefly scanned it and recommended a new replacement. These types of locks start in the few hundreds range. Needless to say I was disappointed with that solution and came upon Bjorn's website during a google search. His expertise and love of mortise locks really shine thru. From his website I gained a better understanding of mortise locks and felt empowered to attempt fixing it myself. After opening it up, it took me some time to understand all the parts and their inner workings. I am glad to report it went successfully. Aside from the satisfaction of having a working lock again, I now have a deeper appreciation of mortise locks. A big THANK YOU to you Bjorn!! read more

Maple Leaf Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Arrived home this evening to unlock my door and the middle part of my front door lock fell out onto the ground. Called Maple Leaf Locksmith at around 9:15pm, he responded right away, then asked me to text photos so he could give me a quote. Quote was fair, he was at our home within 30 minutes and fixed the door very quickly. Can't believe the entire process was so easy and smooth--and he's very nice. Thank you Maple Leaf Locksmith for saving the day! read more

Bjorn was quick to reply to texts and charged half of what I was quoted from another company. He changed the lock on my mailbox in about 30 min and was great to work with in every regard. read more

I got locked out of my car and looking at Yelp, I saw Bjorn was at the top of the list in Yelp with a 5.0 ... I can definitely see why. Bjorn promptly answered my phone call and was at the location of my car within 10 minutes. He was respectful, helpful in answering all my questions, and gave some helpful advice on next preventative steps since I don't have a spare key for my car. I 100% recommend Bjorn for all your locksmith needs! read more

Bjorn was quick to respond to our weekend call, and get over to help re-key a new home within a few hours. He was professional, knowledgeable, easy-going and efficient. Being a new place, there were actually a few locks that needed re-keying we hadn't noticed, but Bjorn - with the hawk-eye of a competent locksmith (I've been watching a lot of Marvel movies) - pointed out that which we missed and even made a few suggestions as to the best way to re-key the doors to optimize for our living layout (e.g. if we ever want to rent out certain areas in the future or prevent access for one area from another). Highly recommend Maple Leaf Lock Smith. Glad they're in the area read more

I called Bjorn at 3:30p, he was at my house by 3:45, and I had a working door again by 4:15. And the bill was well under the quote he gave me over the phone. What more can you ask for??? Call Bjorn! read more

Bjorn was able to remove a broken key from our cargo box like it was nothing. Super reasonable price too. Thank you so much! Highly recommend. read more

BJORN IS A LIFESAVER. The bolt on the lock to my apartment had been sticking for a few weeks when I locked it from the outside, and today the inevitable happened and I couldn't get in. After a few hours of roaming the U District looking for WD-40 and endlessly jiggling the lock, I called several locksmiths. Maple Leaf was the second call I made. When I finally got one guy on the phone, he started giving me a long series of base rates for coming out, looking at the lock, diagnosing the problem, possibly drilling it out, etc. Bjorn called me back at the tail end of the litany. When I took the call and explained the situation, he was able to 1) diagnose the situation 2) get me into my house OVER THE PHONE 3) offer a longterm fix that won't involve damaging my landlord's real estate In literally a 2min phone call. I never write Yelp reviews (which I'm aware makes me a dreadful community member; sorry!), but I am always really impressed when people know their craft and are also as committed to actually solving your problem as they are to turning a profit. 100% recommend, and I'll be back in touch to schedule the permanent fix. read more

Maple Leaf Locksmith answered my text within seconds. He first tried to save me the money and time by teaching me how to possibly finesse the door open with a credit card. Even sent me a YouTube step by step tutorial that he produced. When both my neighbor and I failed despite all of the recommended steps, he arrived within 20 minutes--even earlier than promised. Mission was accomplished within 49 seconds. He patiently stood back and cleared the way to let me dart into the house to let my panicky puppy out since he had been locked in the house first thing in the morning before his usual morning routine begun. (Went out to get something in garage fridge failed to remember I had interior door on auto-lock. Teenage son, used spare/emergency key at one point and forgot to return it . So, barefoot, clad in pajamas, went to the sweetest neighbors in the world who were gracious with coffee, help and assistance in trying to break into my house. All whilst trying to get ready for their child's big birthday party and out of town musical engagment. My 86 year old dad showed up in the meantime to try and help me get in--and Bjorn, personable as he is, struck up a convo with my dad, noticing his German accent. (While processing payment) This is the part where Bjorn showed grace and patience: with my dad and I being the ultimate oversharers, and tag teaming with one another, we gave him more than his fare share of German(y) anecdotes and long, full fledge stories. I didn't know this situation could be handled so easily. I've lived here for 15 years and this happens at least once every year or two. I've scaled my balconies with two-floor ladders, asked out of town family to come over with their spare keys, inconvenienced neighbors to climb into windows...With the quick and economical service of Maple Leaf Locksmith, I'll definitely go this route--100% satisfied. Before I post this, however, I will go and put a spare key into the hidden lock box so that this doesn't have to be a recurrent rescue mission. Here is a link that he produced to unlocking door with a gift card (you might have to cut it so it has a hook shape to it) It could be an easy solution for getting back into your house if done correctly. The dramatic music cracks me up. https://youtu.be/OCROz43xsFU read more

Maple Leaf Locksmith - Puppy (right) who was patiently waiting to be reunited with locked out owner. Bjorn was super patient with his agitation upon entrance. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Bjorn completely saved my day. I was attempting some home repairs on a misaligned door latch and got myself stuck in a situation where I lacked the tools to fix it resulting in me being unable to close my front door! Bjorn responded quickly to my emergency on a Saturday. He had all the right tools & knowledge to fix what I had broke and was able to help me finish the job of realigning the latch even better than I was able to do on my own. I was expecting to pay out the nose for emergency assistance on a Saturday when I started calling other vendors for help (none of which could show up in time) - so I was pleasantly surprised by his prices which are extremely reasonable! I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Maple Leaf Locksmith responded to my Yelp request quickly and was able to schedule me within a couple of days. Bjorn was 10 minutes early and fixed the lock for less than originally quoted because the issue was simpler than I thought. I would definitely recommend Maple Leaf Locksmith. read more

Nice guy and super responsive; from initial contact to door open was 30mins. Being locked out, especially with your dog, no wallet and no phone is a very uncomfortable feeling, but Bjorn's responsiveness put me at ease and evidentially safely back at home. Thank you!! read more

Unfortunately we got back from a trip and was locked out of the house (miscommunication with the parents who were watching the house) Thankfully Bjork was available and got to us within 15-20 min. Our door lock was being very difficult and couldn't be picked after multiple attempts so Bjork recommended drilling through the lock. He was able to get this difficult job done with much patience and efficiency and we are so grateful for his help! He even honored his original quote despite the extra time that was not anticipated. I would absolutely recommend Bjork for any job that you might need done. Thanks again! read more

Seriously nice guy! I was just on my way out of my place to enjoy this awesome weather. Decided to take the trash out, turned around and well found out that my bottom lock automatically locks you out. Walked around to ask my landlord to let me in, and she was out(ps she is never out, she's usually building a spaceship right above my head, I call BS). Anyway I'm not the panicking type of person but I realized I had 1)no keys 2)no phone 3)no wallet 4)not one freaking window open in the whole house. Luckily I grew up in a time pre-cell phone and so I knocked on the neighbors house. Thankfully this is Seattle bc she opened the door right away, if I was still living in Brooklyn Fogetaboutit. We first tried the closest locksmith which after 3 calls did not answer. So then she suggested we try Maple Leaf. The nice gentleman answered the phone right away. I told him the situation and he gave me a price which was actually quite fair. But then he did the nicest, honest thing. He told me he could save me the money if I just watched his you tube video using a plastic card to get inside. He even sent the link to my neighbors phone who at this point was just as intrigued as I was. She grabbed an expired card, we pulled up the video and in less than a minute I was inside! YASS!!! I called him back(I never got his name bc I suck as a human being sometimes) and he explained how and why it worked. He could have been an arse and came out and charged me but he didn't. I do know if I need any help with my locks I will be calling him! read more

Bjorn was amazing! Like the other reviewers had stated, he had an online tutorial on how to break into your room using your credit card. Of course, I was in a hurry and locked myself out of my room heading to an event. He sent me the link free of charge, and after my event, I gave it a go, it worked! He saved me $100. I will go back to him for future emergency needs or locksmith. Great attitude. I wish more people were like this guy! read more

Great! Definitely would recommend. Came pretty quickly to help us get back into our house. Gave great advice too!

Made me copies of keys that Lowe's messed up on. Confirmed the keys work and now I'm a happy camper. I won't waste my time going to Lowe's or Home Depot to get a key made when I can get it done quickly and correct the first time with Bjorn! Thanks again you rock!! read more

Absolutely the best! I locked something, and couldn't figure out how to unlock the padlock I locked. He came so quick that I was surprised. I think this guy is genius and honest. I will definitely call him when I am in need of locksmith. Thank you again Bjorn! read more

Called because I was locked out of my apt/condo building. He ended up suggesting a try a credit card trick first. He even text me the youtube video after we hung up.

Bjorn. Thank you for your service! I am a business owner myself and because of that im very pickt when it comes to service n pricing. However, he was very reasonable than the otherS. After the first fix the key wouldnt come out so when i called him he came to fix for free. Then 2 nd time it happened again and he recommend me to get a new ring on the lock. He only charged me for the part and the labor. All the yelp reviews were all true! Thank you! read more

Outstanding locksmith - our cheap deadbolt needed replacing. Bjorn arrived 10 minutes early, very friendly and was an absolute pro! Great communication from booking to payment. Explained everything he did. $150 was what we were quoted and what we paid. We now have a far superior bolt that will last and didn't even have to change our keys! He even adjusted the components several times until our keys worked smoothly. Highly recommend!! read more

My wife's purse was stolen. She was devastated for a variety of reasons. Luckily the police reminded us to rekey our front & back doors. Bjorn was awesome. He came over immediately and had all 3 of our locks rekeyed within 30 minutes. His price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Maple Leaf. read more

I called after 9 pm with a broken lock . They answered and talked me thorough a way to manage my problem . They assured me they could come out and were supporting every step of the way. I would use them again. Customer service top shelf!' read more

I've hired Bjorn twice to help out with our rental townhouse locks. Today, in under ten minutes, he dismantled our old front door lock and installed a new doorknob and deadbolt. Bjorn is fantastic--he shows up when he says he will, he is courteous and honest, and he does the job right the first time. I can't recommend him more highly, which is why his business card is stapled to my secret undercover notebook of excellent service people. read more

Just had all the exterior knobs/deadbolts re-keyed in our rental townhome and I can't say enough nice things about Bjorn! Not only did he efficiently re-key everything, he checked and lubricated all the mechanisms and gave me great advice on maintaining them (they are 40+ years old). He has a passion for locks and vast knowledge, which he graciously shared when I asked him to look at knob/lock issues I was having with a separate part of the building. His rates are reasonable and he obviously cares deeply about his work and his customers. I'll definitely be calling him again! read more
