Love this place. Old school customer service & old school knowledge for their trade. Highly recommended.

Fast, very knowledgeable - the best. Been using them for years. Very dependable . An expert on Medico locks

This has been my go to place for keys made. Not many brick and mortar shops around. I moved to AZ and couldn't get a particular key duplicated after going to 4 different places and finding nothing but mobile locksmiths near me. I was going to be in CA, so I took the key with me and made a trip to Monrovia to visit my tried and true. Of course they were able to cut a duplicate for me! I had them make 3 copies since I came all the way from Arizona. read more

Monrovia Lock Shop - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Monrovia, California

Did a great job copying my keys for my classic car. Price was reasonable and great customer service

Darrell is always quick to respond and comes out pretty quickly when I have issues or need rekeyed for one of my clients homes. He was recently able to quickly repair a front door lock on the first visit. It's hard to find a good locksmith these days, but Monrovia Lock and Key is the one read more

The owner was pretty awesome. He was not in the shop but was close by and drove in just to help me make 2 keys. Who does that? Someone who values customers. I had so many extra blanks of my keys, I just gave it to him to thank him for going out of his way. Also, he has a never ending wall of blanks so there is a good chance he will have what you need. read more

Went to get some keys done. It is fast and very customer friendly. This is a shop just for locks related thing. So the owner is super knowledgeable. It's really pretty hard to hard a lock only shops now. Btw, they are located in the downtown Monrovia. So there are plenty of free parking lot and street parking available. read more

Many thanks to Darrell, the proprietor. He was able to come immediately to extract a key and fix the lock. He spent time meticulously making sure that the entire lock and handle were working properly. read more

The hours are harsh, 11-12 each day, the main hours are mobile. I just wanted some keys made and I managed to time my visit serendipitously to the open hour. The transaction was quick and the keys were great. It's the hours that lose a star read more

When I first called about a lock not working on my back door, he gave me two good pieces of advice. Only after trying these did I call him back and ask for an appointment. He said "Will you be available at 10 tomorrow morning?" and of course I said "Yes!" So even though it was the 4th of July he came and replaced my defective lock and lined up both locks so it was easy to use both of them! He made 2 extra keys and charged me just $5 more than the cost of a visit. He was quick, efficient, polite and everything continues to work perfectly. I was thrilled and won't look anywhere else for locksmith services! read more

Love this place! I first used them this week to change the lock on my business. He was very quick with his service, arrived early and is just a nice person to work with. I will use this business again when needed. Thank you! read more

Our front door was jamming. Called this shop and someone was sent right away. Fixed in minutes. 6 months later and the fix is still good. Would recommend without hesitation. read more

I bought a new place and the front door lock was difficult to open. I called Monrovia Lock Shop and he arranged to meet me at the house a few days later. He was right on time and wearing his mask when we met. We discussed what to do about the front door and all of the other external doors as there were different keys for different locks. We agreed that the best course of action was to change the pins in all the locks so that I only needed one key to unlock all the doors and so that any keys that the previous owner still might have had wouldn't work. He completed all of the work on site and in short order I had new keys. He had me check out the keys and locks before he left. This was a great experience and I would highly recommend using his services, I know I will if I have the need. read more

Great service! Fast response, great work and affordable prices. We've gone here for years and have had nothing but a first rate experience! Go no further for locksmith services. read more

I called to ask for a duplicate/replacement for my classic Range Rover, and they were able to help me out within 5-10 minutes. The service was professional and quick. I truly recommend this place. He even waited for me to come by and stayed open. Thank you very much! read more

The service was perfect! We called and got on schedule the next day. We needed to have new locks installed for our office space. The service went so smooth I was shocked! We will use Monrovia Lock Shop every time from now one. Way to earn our business. read more

Oh my goodness! Darrell and Louis made it so easy to get my office rekeyed. I sent them a photograph of the doorknob so that they could see what kind of lock mechanism it was, then 1/2 an hour later they were at my door and rekeyed my office. Also, this honest business let me know that my doorlock was about $250 for a replacement, but they could simply rekey it for less than half the price. I really appreciate that because in business, every penny counts! I highly recommend this company to all. read more

All my experiences with this locksmith have been good. He really knows what he is doing, and he knows Monrovia's old houses and ordinances. Having a local, knowledgable locksmith right in town is one of the great things about life in Monrovia. read more

Have used Monrovia lock shop for the last 20 years for multiple units he is usually on time does the work right so there's no return trips I've had no issues and I highly recommend Daryl's work read more

Needed to get new locks re-keyed so they would all match. Came in and they did it promptly for a reasonable price. Will come back for future key/lock services. Thanks! read more

Never thought something as simple as getting keys copied would result in such poor customer service. The keys that were copied were not working and were not aligned with the original copy. I returned them, but Louie gave me a very defensive and condescending attitude like it was my fault the keys weren't fitting. I asked him to take a look at the keys in order to see that the keys were not copied accurately, instead he just threw them away without even looking. When asked how I can get another copy, his wonderful answer was to go look somewhere else and did not even offer to remedy the situation. Seeing all the 5 star reviews here, he must not have been having a good day, but this was one of the very few times in my life that I have experienced such poor and unprofessional customer service. I've had keys copied here one other time with no problems, but I will not be coming back. read more

Always fast, honest service. Used them when the owner bought the place in the late 1990's. Great, fast, fair service.

I recently just left this shop, a very very happy customer. Louie Salgado, the gentlemen who helped me was very informative and extremely helpful. My front door lock broke and had to be replaced, so I went to Home depot and bought a replacement lock set, along with a Re-Key kit so I can continue to use the same house key. This was the first time I've ever tried to re-key a new lock set so i asked the HD worker how to do it since he seemed pretty knowledgeable in this department. At the end of it all, he wrote them a few numbers of which pins to use (you'll understand if you're familiar with this process) to program my current key. I went home, thinking it was going to take minutes, but it took me more than an hour and I wasn't even close to getting it to work with my current key. Frustrated, I looked on yelp and found this store. As stated, Louie helped me and walked me through the process of where I went wrong. It literally took him less than 5 minutes to complete everything. From now on, this is my go-to lock shop if I ever need help with anything lock-related. Thanks Louie! read more

Friendly service and made my keys right away. I was in and out in 5 minutes. Waaaay better than going to Home Depot to have your keys made and affordable. read more

Called the shop before I came in to make sure they have what I need. The guy on the phone was friendly and provided all the information. I swung by 30 minutes before they closed and got their full attention and great customer service. When it appeared they couldn't help me with my car key (after 2013 it becomes trickier), they referred me out. Actually more like hooked me up and helped me get a really good deal. Thanks! And I'll be back with my older keys : ) read more

It is so hard to find a lock shop these days and Home Depot doesn't always have the kind if keys I need. So glad I found Monrovia lock. Close to home extremely friendly... And they change locks on site:) PS- the keys I had made from Home depot I needed Monrovia lock shop to fix cause they were not cut right... and the only way to figure that out is when you notice you cant lock the door! read more

Excellent and responsive!!! I work from home a lot, and today when I took my dog for a lunch time walk, I locked myself out of the house. I called Monrovia Lock Shop because they were the closest to me (I have never needed a locksmith before). They were friendly on the phone and had a locksmith out to me in 30 minutes! They got me back into my house in about 30 seconds after arrival as well. Completely reasonable pricing, especially given the prompt service. I won't use another locksmith as long as I live here, Monrovia Lock Shop for me! read more

Just moved to area. First tine here and faced attitude and confrontation from rude employee. So many other locksmiths in the area ... avoid this hellhole. read more

Darrell @ Monrovia Lock Shop was quick and to the point. Let me know the truth about my lock and made me an appt to get my bike's locks fixed. Prices are just right and will be coming back. read more

Went over to get our key done and the owner is very informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. The best key master in Monrovia. read more

Best locksmith anywhere. Darryl is very nice and patient, but even better he's a brilliant locksmith. Four years ago he fixed my 80 year old front door lock. I had had three other locksmiths out and they couldn't fix the problem. Darryl searched the web for an elusive part and the repair was done within a week. Still working without a hitch. Price was astonishingly reasonable. He is currently working on another lock. Also prompt and communicates well. I would never call anyone else. read more

Great friendly professional service. Did a great job on my old front door lock. Thanks ML&K.

I have used Monrovia Lock shop a number of times. Darrell is professional and his pricing is very good. I have recommended him to family and friends. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable locksmith. Good and quick service with re-keying my locks. read more

As a Realtor, I have had the opportunity to use Darryl and Monrovia Lock Shop and many occasions, both personally and professionally. He can do what most other locksmiths can't! I specialize in the sale of older homes, and many times it's almost impossible to get locks made for these old doors. Darryl has worked miracles! I highly recommend him and his business with no hesitation whatsoever! read more

I had a small home safe that I lost the key to and the touch combination was not working. Louis was able to get it open very quickly and at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend him for any locksmith services. read more

I have a custom front door that had a latch problem. Daryl came out and explained that he does not have access to the right parts anymore. He steered me in the right direction of where to get the parts and Michelle at Emtek was exceptionally accommodating. She said she would send the parts out next day and and can replace the parts easily myself. That's great service by all involved. read more

Really friendly locksmith, he came on time and helped us change all the locks on our front doors. Unbeknownst to me, one of the doors was a little crooked and he helped fix that too without me asking! He even gave us tips on how to fix the scrapping on the bottom of the door. He was super professional and nice and got the job done in no time. I highly recommend him to everyone! read more

I went to the Monrovia locksmith yesterday. The guy at the counter was extremely rude from the moment I walked in the door. He must be the owner because no business owner would tolerate such a rude employee. I can't imagine how you can stay in business when you disrespect your customers. read more

The service was so quick and so friendly. We had two keys (buy 1 get 1 free house keys) made in less than 5 min! There's convenient parking right behind the building in case you cannot find it on the street. read more
