I wanted to install a smart lock & rekey my old lock. Mario provides fast service with reasonable cost. He also cleans the site after the job is complete. I'm happy with his service & would recommend him to friends and family. read more

Outstanding in every way! Excellent at what they do, punctual, easy to book, great value, and Mario and his team are efficient and super nice too. They took care to leave everything clean after they were done. They rekeyed 3 locks and made keys in under 30 min. Mario even oiled my door hinges for me! This is the 2nd time we've hired them and we will always call them first when we need a locksmith. read more

I highly recommend Mario's Locksmith for their quick and efficient service, kindness, and skill. I locked myself out of my place for the first time and had no one to help me get back in. As the wind picked up and the temperature dropped, I frantically searched for a locksmith. I decided to go with the closest one. I called them and Mario said he could be there in 20 minutes. Those were the longest 20 minutes as the rain began to fall, but once Mario and his wife Ita arrived, they got my door open within a minute. I will definitely call Mario and Ita again for any lock-related issues! read more

We called Mario's Locks along with several other locksmiths. They were the first to respond and called the same day to set up an appointment. We thought we needed an entire new lock, but when the technician looked at it he said we just needed to adjust the old one - we were relieved that the cost was $175 when we anticipated much more. The service was friendly, efficient, and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend Mario's to anyone in need of locksmith service. read more

I locked myself out. Mario and his wife were here in 10 minutes and quickly and efficiently opened the gate. They were reassuring and professional. I hope I don't need a locksmith again, but if I do, I will call Mario! read more

Mario's Locksmith are the best! We are a local business in North Beach and they have helped us several times with a variety of lock related issues. It's a family run business and they are super responsive, friendly, easy to work with and affordable. They are always our first choice when we have any locksmith issues. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Mario helped us with repairing and re-keying after an eviction. He and his family provided what we needed at a difficult time.

My friend accidentally locked the key in a rental truck in front of my house. The truck was parked in the turning lane, idling, so of course we were pretty anxious. Mario's team showed up in about 20 mins and opened the cab without any damage at all. Fast, efficient, calm, professional. I'd work with them any time. read more

Excellent and fast service for a duplicate key fob! Highly recommend using Mario for any car key needs

Mario was prompt with the rekeying service and very easy to work with. Thank you very much!

This husband and wife team saved our front door on Christmas! We came back from vacation and discovered our French front door was not working properly. After desperately contacting a bunch of folks, Mario's came through and showed up to fix the door! At the same time they also fixed a couple of issues in our house (bathroom doors that were stuck, lock broken) as well as install a new lock. Price was reasonable and comparable to other quotes we received. We were so appreciative they could come on Christmas on short notice. The best! Will keep their number on speed dial =) read more

Mario just left after reprogramming my truck. I lost the only key so it needed to be coded to a new key. He cut me 2 brand new keys, reprogrammed the ignition lock and was done in a half hour. He was overly flexible, answered every time I called and did the whole thing for up to 1/3 the highest other quote. Can't recommend any higher. read more

Mario's locksmith services are top notch! He responded quickly to my messages! Was able to come out quickly to help with a lock replacement! Great family business! I loved that his daughter was learning the trade! Thank you again read more

I cannot thank you enough! I requested a quote and they were there in less than 30 min. Quick, responsive, reasonably priced and friendly. What more can someone ask for? Thank you so much for helping my Mom out! read more

Marios Locksmith should change their name to SUPER MARIOS LOCKSMITH. We made an appointment and 3-person team showed up. They had to deal with 3 nasty locks not one. In 20 minutes done, he installed a temporary lock. They give you prices and welcome advise no charge on the spot. ( I shopped around before I called them). Is Family operated, don't waste your time or your money just call SUPER MARIOS TEAM. read more

Today I locked myself out of my house! I went into a local lock shop and they recommended Mario's, which I called and immediately got Mario on the phone. He said someone would be there to help me in 15 to 20 minutes. As promised, his son arrived in 15 minutes and immediately got my door open! I give Mario's my highest recommendation and will definitely call them again!! read more

Mario and his wife took care of my door knob problem in 10 minutes. Fast , friendly, quality work and a reasonable price is what I experienced with them. I lost a key for my storage room and could not access because of the locked door knob. I called Mario and set a time to fix the problem. He came on time and communicated everything from arrival time and to the job to be done. He opened the door by drilling on the old door knob and replaced it with a new door knob and keys. All done in 10 minutes. I used my credit card to pay touch less. Highly recommended. read more

Mario’s Locksmith - Mario with new lock installed in 10 minutes - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

I recently needed to get copies of keys, ones that are stamped "Do Not Duplicate". After trying a few other locations that did not sell these, I was lucky to find Mario's still open after 5:00 p.m. I rushed down there and got my keys cut quickly. It was an easy process and I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Seemed like a very nice family business and I was pleased with the work they did, so I will not hesitate in choosing them first the next time. read more

Our front door handle broke and I called around. The two locksmiths I usually use were both closed on Saturday. Fortunately for me, Yelp came to the rescue I called Mario's Locksmith and he was out and handled my problem, and he was there in an hour and a half. Excellent work, a fair price. Also, he told me he's open 7 days a week! Need a locksmith look no further. read more

Can't say enough good things about Marios Locksmith services. I managed to lock myself out of my apartment and could not get a hold of my landlord. After a stressful search on google I found Marios. Not only were they helpful, they managed to come help me quickly. Walter the technician came by to save the day. He was sweet, helpful, and made me laugh during a stressful situation. Needless to say Walter left with the key to my heart. 10/10 would recommend Marios Locksmith. Thank you! read more

We called Mario's Locksmith this afternoon because we lost our keys near the house and worried someone would let themselves in. Mario said he'd be over in an hour. He and his assistant arrived a few minutes early, rekeyed 7 locks in an hour, and even fixed a sticky hinge on one of the doors without our asking about it! The price felt fair, especially given the urgency, and they were lovely people to boot. I'd recommend them for sure. read more

I came across Mario here on Yelp and could not agree more with the other reviews here. He was professional, responsive, organized, and reliable - I was able to set up an appointment with him within 24 hours of obtaining an estimate via text. Upon arrival, he and his wife were very friendly and walked me through the rekeying process while maintaining COVID safety precautions, which I appreciated. All said and done, the service took less than 45 minutes. I will definitely plan to contact Mario for future inquires. In addition to Spanish and English, he speaks Cantonese. At the time of me writing this, he currently is using Venmo, cash, or credit card as forms of payment. read more

I love this company! I called during a very difficult time needing my home locks changed. The owners - husband and wife came out changed my locks with a reasonable price. I then used again for getting back gate locks taken care of. The 2nd technician was super nice, very friendly and we all were super happy with the work!!! I just happened to leave a review now because we will be using him for a customer at my job!!! Use this business - clean, good prices and trustworthy!!! read more

I just had the deadbolt on my front door replaced, and the regular lock also fixed, by Mario's Locksmith and they were amazing. And "amazing" is not a word I thought I'd ever reach for when describing a locksmith service! After one locksmith pushing me off until Tuesday and another saying they would show up in 20 minutes only to never show up, I went searching again and came across Mario. He made an appointment for a few hours later and came early. He showed up with his partner, who is also his wife, and they set up a little wooden folding table to hold their tools and lock parts. You know that feeling you get, when you realize you've stumbled on an old-school professional who takes pride in his work and keeps his word? That's Mario. I could not recommend Mario and his wife more highly! read more

These constant rains have rusted out my gate lock so I had them come out and he took care of everything within mins.

Mario's is no longer at the original store front. We called the number and was able to get a hold of Mario and met him at another location. He was able to provide us with a second key for our car and programmed it to work. Decent price compared to going to the dealer to get another key for your car. read more

Absolutely amazing service in a pinch. Mario came out to help us right on time with his employee (or daughter?) to unlock bathroom door for us - we lost the key and accidentally locked ourselves out. POC owned business and very professional. They even asked whether they should take their shoes off before entering our home! You are on my speed dial list for any future lockout issues, Mario and Team! read more

We had Mario come change our lock when our keys began to stick in the lock about 2 months ago. Then, a couple of days ago, we noticed that the lock had rusted considerably and we had a very difficult time getting our key to engage fully to unlock the gate. So, we called Mario back thinking that as any good business person, he would guarantee his work. He told us that the lock had rusted because of the rain and charged us $80 to fix it. Locks in all parts of the world stand up to rain and snow and don't rust in a matter of two months. We will never use this locksmith again. read more

Got the job done by adjusting the door lock opening so the bolt would go in smoothly. The work that was done was pricey and my suggestion would be to reduce the cost of your fee to the lower amount when you quote a range and the job is not that intense. read more

Fair prices- considering other locksmiths quoted me up to $150 to cut the metal on a car key- not make a new key, just cut the metal. There are a lot of crooks out there but I was charged $30 to have the key cut and everyone in the place was super nice. read more

Was referred to Mario's from another honest locksmith who said he'd be too expensive for two car keys. Cost was $20 for 2 keys, compared to the $180 quoted for one from a mobile locksmith. With Covid, they texted the address, I dropped it off outside, and they brought it back to me in 5 minutes. Easy in and out! read more

Marios Locksmith really came through for me when I lost my car keys. I needed a key fob and key with a chip. I had a million questions and he patiently answered them after calling him several times. He also had the best prices - save your time calling around and just call him! read more

Mario and his wife, Etha, were kind enough to come out within 24hrs to help us out. We needed to get through our security gate to our basement storage where the furnace is located. The lock mechanism turned, but the door would not open. Mario presented all the cost scenarios over the phone patiently, and I appreciated that immensely. Previously, I had called several locksmiths who were incredibly rude and took umbrage when I inquired about prices. In the end, Mario worked fast and efficiently. The lock was saved and did not need to be replaced. The price was very reasonable. I would recommend Mario to anyone and everybody who needs the services of a locksmith. He's fantastic: professional, patient, and polite...a pleasure to hire. read more

I am a son of Asian parents whose home in S.F. was ransacked during the daytime while they were out on an short errand. Needless to say, we were gutted to find the home we grew up in and worked so hard for rummaged and infiltrated by thieves. Our home consisted of a front door gate and an upper door entry door. The thieves made short work of the weakest security measure, our front gate. You see, we had a sense of false security because it was a metal gate...but the locking mechanism was at least 60 years old and was one of those electric button latch releases which are common in these old S.F. homes. It takes no work at all to penetrate this gate for anyone with a metal bar, in hindsight. We made many calls to construction, door, gate contractors and NO ONE wanted to help us. We were considered too small a job for them. With much desperation I saw Mario's ad on Yelp and gave them a call. The call was picked up fast and I got to speak to Mario quickly and scheduled an appointment for the same day. Mario was on time. He and his wife worked diligently and respectfully of our situation with the proper COVID protocols to provide not only a solution but for my family- our first respite and relief in a traumatic time. I recommend all Asian households in S.F. to consider if their home front gates and locks are secure enough. And if it is one like ours to seriously consider replacing the electric units with deadbolt locks. read more

Mario’s Locksmith - If your home gate looks like this (electric latch) you need to replace it with a deadbolt lock. These are NOT secure. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Just had him program my 2018 Mazda CX5 key. He was very honest and quick about his service. I was very happy with his service. Also his prices were significantly less than everyone else in SF. read more

I was looking for a locksmith to program a valet key and an additional key fob for my Toyota Tacoma, as Toyota stopped supplying valet keys with new vehicles a while back. I needed additional keys, as many people in the family borrow our truck and there were also instances where we had to move the car in an emergency and there was no key available. It's always better to have a spares for these situations. I used Mario's service before back when he had a physical shop on Mission St, but realized he transitioned to a mobile locksmith service during the pandemic after he provided me with another address. I ordered 2 keys online and provided them to Mario to program. Upon handing it to him to check and inspect, he was able to quickly cut the keys and program the keys within 30 minutes. Mario was also able to communicate with us in Cantonese, which was a plus with my parents were around. Mario is very knowledgeable for the work he does and I would highly recommend his locksmith services. In the past, his wife helped me many times with copying my keys at their shop, as the house keys I previously copied at Lowe's didn't work. I've never had issues with Mario's keys and always worked like the originals. My advice is avoid car dealerships or hardware stores for keys, as they are not in the business to make keys. Overall had good experiences with Mario and his wife over the years and would definitely continue to use him again for my future locksmith needs. read more
