Words cannot say enough about Kobi and his service. I arrived at my home to find that somebody had broken the gate lock and got into The stairwell. We walked up the stairs and then noticed the front door was damaged and they attempted to break in as well. Kobi drilled out the lock but still could not get in. We went around the back he jumped from one patio over a fence into my yard and was able to get in through the back. When I first contacted him he was at my house within 20 minutes. He had to go downtown to get parts then he arrive back at my house. We changed all the locks on the house. He was extremely nice and courteous and spent a lot of time at my house. I highly recommend Kobi if you are looking for a locksmith Todd read more

Please hire him for your every locksmith need...I know I will!! read more

Kobi is a true professional. We had him over to rekey and replace 6 locks in our home. From start to finish, everything about his job was fantastic: He did everything quickly, and with no issues. In addition, he oiled hinges and re-adjusted the strike plates in each door so that they close properly. He gave us additional "do not duplicate" keys and masters, and explained how each should work. Kobi knew every single lock and doorknob we had in this 100-year home, explaining the possible problems and security issues with each. He gave us additional advice about home security. It was clear that Kobi enjoys his work, and is somewhat of an expert in his field. Lastly, he stood by his price quote, and that quote was better than any other provider we called. I cannot recommend Kobi enough! Simply a great guy, and a professional. read more

i have used Kobi twice to re-key the locks on our house and adjust a door that was making the lock ineffective. he is quick to respond, explains things thoroughly and makes sensible suggestions. would definitely use him again for any lock-related needs. read more

Kobi was about an hour late to our appointment. Why then would I give him five stars? When I texted him, he apologized and let me know that his previous appointment had run a little longer and that he had mentioned he would text me 20 minutes before he arrived at my apartment. I should have confirmed with him instead of assuming he would arrive exactly on the dot. Aside from his tardiness, he did everything that would make me want to hire him again. He apologized for the delay, offered a discount on his travel fee, promptly changed the locks and made us an extra set of keys at no additional cost, explaining that it would be better than making extra keys at the hardware store. Couldn't recommend him more! (Also he accepts Venmo!) read more

Kobi did the job efficiently and answered all my questions and got the job done. He is very informative and knowledgeable about keys and locks. He did the job fast and was on time, which is hard to get nowadays. Everything worked out and highly recommended. read more

Great service !!! Coby is the best !! Thank you for Quick service, he works on all my cars and always provide the same quality service.

I never write reviews but this time I had share my experience on yelp. Last night I lost my key to my motorcycle and had to find a locksmith FAST. Went on yelp, called around and found that most do not specialize in motorcycles. Got ahold of a locksmith and THEY recommended me PICKBUSTER. I got on the phone with KOBI, explained what had happened, gave me an amazing price and said he would be at my work in 30mins (this is at 8:30PM) to help me. I found KOBI to be very professional and was even more impressed with his equipment. Having 10+ years experience in locks this guy had a new van, LED lighting, wifi, a clean work place and he was very fast. He had a replacement for me in less then 30mins and the whole time he was teaching me how other locksmiths may have an incorrect way that can damage your locks and his way how it's 100% safe to the locks. He cut my two keys, thanked me for calling him and I was on my way.. definitely a guy I'd have a beer with.. lol thanks again KOBI! read more

To duplicate my BMW key, BMW SF wanted more than $400, plus leaving the car downtown overnight. Kobi came TO MY HOUSE within 3 hours of my call, replaced the key for less than half what the dealer wanted, and created a 2nd fob for less than half OF THAT. Just amazing. read more

Kobi was extremely professional and solved my issue in a timely manner. Made me a key for my Mercedes when many others would not and even fixed my broken fob. Thanks for the great service ! read more

Why, you might ask, does a locksmith get a zillion five-star reviews? Well, you'll just have to call Kobi to find out, as I did earlier after discovering that some asshole had forced my garage door and stolen a lot of gear. He was here promptly, but still apologized that he had to finish a previous call and so couldn't be here absolutely immediately. And then he walked me through the options for securing the door, explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Next, he have me a quote on the spot that I thought was incredibly reasonable. Finally, he walked me through what he'd done after finishing the job quickly and professionally. I can't think of anything that could have been better about this experience. He was even very sincerely sympathetic about all the stuff that had been boosted. All around excellent experience. read more

Kobi is IT. I called him with a door lock issue, not an emergency. He was available within a few hours. He texted 30 minutes before he arrived to inform me he was on his way. He was thorough, so honest, fixed the problem right away, andddddd he didn't even want to charge me for it. Yes, I get that it was a minor repair, but he didn't want to charge me for it. Who does that? Kobi does. read more

Kobi is amazing. Very knowledgeable about vehicles with anti-theft devices! He is very kind and professional. Of course I hope I never need a locksmith, again, but if I do I will call Kobi! My particular lock out was especially whack because of trying to get help thru other parties and so my insurance company handled the situation because Kobi took the time to talk to them and confirm what happened! read more

PickBuster Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

I've hired Kobi at least three times now! He's very kind, knowledgeable, and always does a thoughtful job. He advised on a digital lock for a new gate, replacement locks for an old house, installed them all beautifully, and any rekey job is always very efficient. Favorite locksmith read more

We had a problem in mid-January; we misplaced the key to our old Mercedes. The dealer told us it would take several days and be very expensive to get a new key, since it is electronic and needs factory codes to activate. We found Kobi online. He came out to our garage within a few hours, and after another couple of hours, was able to make a totally functional key for us. He even had a Mercedes electronic key fob, so we couldn't even tell the difference between the original and the new one he made. He was highly professional, friendly, and reasonably priced. IMHO he's nearly a miracle worker. read more

Kobi was a lifesaver. We had lost our VW Tiguan fob and had him reprogram a new fob that we ordered from the dealer. When the new fob didn't work as planned, and the job got way more complicated, Kobi worked efficiently and patiently to resolve the issue as soon as he could. read more

Kobi came out and replaced my Mercedes key much faster than the dealerships in South San Francisco and Belmont offered to--they demanded I have my car towed to them and then wait up to a week for a new key. Kobi is very smart and helpful. read more

If I could give him 10 stars I would! Someone tried to break into our building so our lock was bent and the buzzer no longer worked. I called PickBuster in the morning and he came a few hours later. He stayed in contact with me the whole time so I knew when he was going to come. He replaced the whole works and also fixed the closing mechanism to the gate. Had me test it with the buzzer and the key. Paying him was easy with a credit card and I got the invoice right away. Incredible bargain for excellent same day service. read more

PROFESSIONAL No chit chat straight to business and quick. FRIENDLY Tone and facial expressions extremely kind and professional. Very approachable and trustworthy. ORGANIZED customer service experience was streamlined and effortless - you call for the inquiry, text him your address, he makes the key, demo it, and then pay! His mobile van is stocked and organized with various keys. EFFICIENT No towing service needed! He is mobile and comes to you! It took 45 minutes from the time of the call I placed to getting my new set of Prius electronic key and safety key in my hand plus demo to test it out on my car! COST-SAVING 40% cheaper than dealership I'm going to get a second set made! Thank you, Kobi! read more

Kobi is wonderful - he's responsive, thorough, and was able to comprehensively take care of everything at my house. This includes rekeying, adding a deadbolt, fixing doors, etc. He was very communicative and we were so happy to work with him! We highly recommend PickBuster read more

Kobi is very friendly and accommodating. He's professional and price is reasonable! Highly recommended.

Got a next-day appointment to re-key front entry locks. Kobi showed up on time. He is courteous, efficient, and professional. I hope I don't need a locksmith again any time soon, but if I do: PickBuster!!! JM read more

I wish I could give Kobi 10 stars - he is that good. I've worked with him 3 times and each time he was punctual, efficient, and cost-effective. Before you call anyone else, call him. He did so many things in the time he was at our house it was incredible (e.g. he fixed our August system so it stopped jamming, he aligned our garden door so it opened easily, etc.) Wish I could find other people like him to work with. read more

I do not normally write yelp review at all but Kobi is such a nice and responsible guy! I lost my car key and need a key replacement. Kobi drove to me right on time and completed the entire service in 20mins which is super impressive! He has all you need in his van and really professional. Also the price is reasonable and much cheaper than the dealership or other company quoted to me. No hidden fee at all! I would highly recommended Kobi to you guys who need locksmith services. read more

PickBuster Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Super friendly, great communication, fast, professional job. Not sure what else you could ask for... Thank you Kobi!

Kobi was awesome. Not many locksmiths can program key fobs for Mercedes vehicles. Kobi showed up right on time and was able to program and cut a key in 30 minutes. Cheaper, faster and better service than the dealer. Showed me a bunch of tips about my vehicle and explained the key programming process. Definitely recommend Pickbusters - thanks Kobi. read more

I never give reviews on Yelp, but I just had to this time. KOBI is absolutely amazing! He helped rekey my place and installed my August Lock! It look absolutely flawless, the cut was sleek and it looks perfect now. Super clean, efficient, and service was fantastic. Wish I could give him hundreds of stars! That's how awesome he is! He even helped tighten up some bolts that I didn't pay attention to at all, and also helped made my door close more efficiently instead of never closing all the way without me slamming the door! He definitely loves what he's doing, and he'll always provide the best quality work. When I sent him pictures of my lock, he immediately knew what make/model they were and told me they weren't compatible with the August Lock. I had called and emailed other locksmiths, but they weren't familiar with the August Lock nor the deadbolt I presented them with. So it was definitely impressive when Kobi stated what would work and what wouldn't. Highly recommended! He's simply too awesome. read more

We (ok I) lost our last key to our car. I called an extremely reputable locksmith who asked what kind of car we had (a Lexus) and he said that those were complicated to program and that we should call PickBuster as they could handle something like this. They arrived in 45 minutes and had two keys made within 20 minutes. Kobi Shriki is engaging and a super nice guy. I have his card and will use him going forward! read more

Kobi is the "MAN"! Very professional! Thorough about his work, on time and informative! Recommend him to anyone!!! read more

PickBuster Locksmith - Ford F-150 - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Kobe is a great man. Good man with integrity and entrepreneurial skills. I have a BMW SUV and unfortunately I needed to get my key system "re-keyed." While we could not accomplish everything we had hoped for he came up with a soln so no one can get into my vehicle , even me without the remote key. He gave me a fair quote and completely the job. I saved about 2g going with Kobe. read more

Found Kobi on Yelp - very deserving of his overall 5 star rating. Yelp needs to make a new "6 star" rating for the "best of all the 5 stars" --- Kobi would be my #1 choice to get that 6 star rating. We needed him to re key locks, align multiple deadbolts, smooth out the locking mechanism for multiple locks, and on and on - this was not your easy "hire anyone competent, 5 minutes" type of job. Kobi called me a few hours before to confirm the appointment. He arrived 10 minutes early with his super loaded van. Talk about being professional and valuing the time of your customers! He got the job done with great precision (and transparency - told us exactly what he was doing). He even vacuumed after finishing his work (some of the wall cutting he needed to do left a mess on the floor underneath as expected - he cleaned it to be spotless afterwards). All while having a smile on his face and just being an overall cheerful, good, happy guy. Literally made me happy to be around him, while making me feel confident given his skillset. His prices were fair and broken down, so we knew exactly what we were paying and why. Will 100% be calling him for any lock needs and will be recommending him and only him to everyone I know. Thanks, Kobi! (and no I was not given a discount or anything to write this review! It's so glowing because he deserves it) UPDATED REVIEW I wrote the above and then hired Kobi for another job. He went above and beyond - did work I did not even know I need, but he showed me that I needed it and I agreed - and didn't even charge for the extra work. It's like he took pride in making my house more secure, like I was family. He is so talented at what he does, but is also the NICEST GUY - literally cheered me up after a long day to talk to him and have him around. Great positive energy about him, along with great talent. The best of the best - you would be crazy to hire anyone else for any house related key project. read more

My only other Yelp review is for PickBuster, but I have to review again because Kobi pulled through once again in a timely and professional manner to make spare keys for me today. Thank you, Kobi! read more

Helped when no other locksmith could. Sharp , fast , kind service . Highly skilled Fully stocked mobile service. Thank you sir read more

Kobi was polite, on time, and straight forward. I was having issues with another private locksmith who wasn't able to give me a definitive quote, but Kobi was able to give me a quote within the hour. His professionalism was extremely refreshing! 10/10 Recommend! read more

Kobi is just the best. I don't normally write reviews, but I am happy to make an exception here. I can be a little absent-minded from spending too much time thinking about math, and lost the spare keys to my somewhat rare masdaspeed miata. What should have been a ten minute job wound up taking an entire Friday evening and then a Sunday afternoon. Apparently my pretty little toy car is not an American car, and has a Japanese lockout chip. Well, the point is that Kobi worked on this for hours, spent the weekend researching my car, and fixed the keys on a Sunday. He is an extremely diligent and trustworthy person and I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

High quality service all around. Kobi even picked me up and drove me to my car. He was very professional and polite, knew exactly what he was doing, and even showed me step by step so that I could understand the process. He was done within an hour. Great pricing and extremely high speed service. Other places wanted to charge me $200 more than what Kobi offers, and the wait would have been at least a week. I thoroughly enjoyed his service as well as his company. Great business! read more

Talk about taking care of business - Kobi does and fast - both my truck door locks were broken into and not working - I ordered "official Ford locks" from Amazon - Kobi came out tried to install them but they were not the right locks - he immediately ordered the "right ones" from his vendor - the next morning he knew I was worried and so he returned and finished the job ASAP - he is not only hard working but super smart - he has a "can do" attitude which is a relief when dealing with safety and security - he also order an extra set so now if there is a another situation - will call Kobi right away and will probably have my truck safe within hours - "PickBuster is really a StressBuster" ! read more

I called Kobi on a Saturday after my car got broken into and the burglar broke my ignition cylinder. Even though the business didn't open until Monday, Kobi called me back on Sunday, asked me for details about the situation, gave me some recommendations, and we were able to align on a quote (way cheaper than the dealership) and set up an appointment for Monday. Kobi was prompt, polite, and a terrific ally to me during this unfortunate event. Kobi was able to setup a new cylinder, re-key and code my car keys, and he had me up and running in just under an hour. I couldn't recommend him more! He even accepts Venmo. read more

PickBuster is definitely your best choice for car locksmith work! The key in our old Corolla suddenly stopped turning the ignition, and the wheel was locked. Nothing we tried was able to get things going again (including WD-40). It looked like we needed a new ignition lock cylinder. Based on the stellar Yelp reviews, I called PickBuster, and Kobi picked up immediately. He diagnosed the situation, knew all his sources for parts, and quickly and clearly told me how much time it would take and how much it would cost. The replacement ended up being a tough job because it was later in the evening, parts places were closed, and it wasn't possible for anyone to diagnose which part was needed based on the VIN. But Kobi came through! He ended up going to different parts places to find what was necessary, somehow got the old cylinder removed even though the wheel wouldn't turn, replaced it, and made new keys, all within an hour or two. (And that wasn't even the end of his day!) He's someone you can trust to get your car locksmith work done, and awesome to interact with. Can't recommend him higher. I imagine he's really busy since he is so good, but if you are able to get him, you're in good hands! read more
