Alex from Nova Locksmith is super responsive and gave me the most competitive quote out of all the other locksmiths I've contacted. This business lives up to the 5-Star reviews it got on Yelp. I will refer him to all my friends and definitely contact him for all my locksmith needs in the future. read more

Alex saved me from a few hours in the cold drizzle. I had just returned from a business trip and didn't take a house key with me. Alex responded immediately and came all the way from the city to Berkeley. While helping me with the lock, he gave me some great recommendations for lock options. In short, he knows his stuff, is pleasant, and speedy! read more

Alex answered the phone right away the first and second time I called, and he arrived in the window of time he projected. He worked quickly and skillfully and had a solid understanding of products. He listens well and likes to share information. For example, now I know to be careful using a key on a Fleetwood door because it has a plastic part that breaks easily and there are no replacement locks on the market. His rates are very reasonable. Even with conversation, he rekeyed 2 barrels-- on a Fleetwood door and a Schlage wifi keypad lock-- and changed a door handle on a gate that had a riveted-on part in about an hour. read more

Alex was really great. Our deadbolt was broken and he replaced it with a new one, Weill matching it to the original key so that we didn't have to make new keys. He took a lot of time to make sure that the deadbolt was secure and that the keys fit smoothly. read more

Quick and great service for a mail box replacement! Alex was very kind and professional

Prompt response to my request to change out some interior door knobs. ALex arrived on time for the appointment. When the decorative doorknobs which I had purchased did not work, he installed a standard setup. Told me what the problem was. And, recommended me to other knob manufacturers in the event I still wanted to go more antique looking. Great service. Nice guy. Fair price. read more

Alex was very prompt in responding to my request for a bid and he provided the best price. He was flexible with scheduling when I had to cancel the first time. Then we resolved our issue so I didn't need his services, but he will be the first person I call next time I need a mobile locksmith. read more

Alex was a total lifesaver. I had booked him to come out and install a Google/Yale smart lock I had purchased from Amazon, but when he went to install it, the lock was jammed--he explained that it was a known product issue with this particular model (get your shit together, Google/Yale!). This was no fault of his own, of course (he tried for 15-20 minutes to get it to work, to no avail). He recommended a Schlage smart lock instead, and said he might have one in his truck that he could install on the spot, and luckily, he did! He installed it perfectly and helped me through setting everything up on the Schlage app. He really saved me from the sub-par quality of the Yale lock. He was very fast in all of his communication, showed up on time, and was considerate and kind during the install. Would definitely recommend. Thanks, Alex! read more

Very positive customer experience with Alex at Nova. I had to get my existing lock replaced by a deadbolt, which he did very efficiently and called me ahead of time with his ETA. I also asked about extra security measures we can take which he talked through with me in a very honest manner. Didn't try to sell me anything extra. Price was very reasonable too. read more

Alex did a great job with a challenging task to install new locks in an old apartment mailbox. The existing locks are discontinued so he had to make modifications on the 6 unit mailbox to install updated locks. The two repaired boxes work perfectly now. I'm very satisfied with his workmanship and professionalism. He is quick to respond to my request for an initial quote from the photos I sent to him. If you are in need for a locksmith, please contact Alex. You won't be disappointed. Good dude and very friendly. read more

I lost my mailbox keys and my landlord quoted me $300 to call a locksmith. I made my own calls and everyone's prices were either too high or they were unable to do mailboxes. Alex had the best price in the area, I paid about $130 to change my mailbox lock. He responded quickly, came exactly when he said he would and fixed it in 10 minutes. Works and looks as good as new, I highly recommend! read more

Nova Locksmith - My mailbox that needed a new lock, looks good as new! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Francisco, California

After a really dumb move on my part, locked my keys in my car and my spare is 300 miles away. I tried some ideas but basically gave up and looked up for a locksmith. Nova responded within 15 minutes of me using the Yelp feature, text me a price (which was the best among 4 others in the area) and showed up within an hour of my request going out! Opened my car up within minutes (maybe even less, it was that fast!) and problem solved! Really happy with the service Alex provided, though I hope to not have to need him again assuming I don't get locked out! If I need lock work in the future, I know exactly who to call now! read more

5 - Fast, responsive, reliable, and up-front about costs. Alex at Nova Locksmith responded to my project request on Yelp in under 30 seconds. Got on a call where he asked some questions about my lock and needs. He used that info to diagnose how to rekey my lock and was very upfront about costs -- no surprises here. I was also assured that he'd arrive within the timeframe agreed -- worst thing is waiting forever and then getting a cancellation 2 hours after the appointment time. That didn't happen, Alex was super communicative, responsive, and timely. Finally, he knows his stuff. When he arrived, my building said the postman needed to be here to rekey my condo mailbox. I thought I was going to have to coordinate another appointment with the postman, but Alex assured my building that he could do it, and 15 min later, I gained access to my overflowing mail box with 3 new keys and 2 weeks to fill out and mail back my 2024 ballot Hopefully I'll be more responsible with my keys moving forward, but if I need locksmith services again, I'll go directly to Alex at Nova Locksmith. read more

I'd been struggling with finding a way to get a reliable keypad for my condo's unit door. The existing mortise lock was in a non-standard size/style that I found impossible to get a replacement for. I reached out to Alex, who let me know what my options were and helped to educate me on what he thought would work best. There was no pressure and he super friendly and patient in answering all my questions. I ended up buying a new lock on Amazon that Alex recommended. When it came in, Alex was able to show up the next day and get it installed quickly with no hassle. Great communication, super professional, great quality service at a good value. I've used Nova Locksmith on multiple occasions now and highly recommend them to anyone else looking for a locksmith. read more
