The door knob broke and my daughter was locked out of her bedroom the very day she arrived home from her first year away at college. In our panic we found Nadav on Yelp. He asked for us to send a photo in which he calmly and quickly diagnosed the issue and quoted us $200 to fix it which included installing a new door knob. We wanted to select our own knob so he offered support by communicating via text and phone to help my daughter pick out a new one at Home Depot. He arrived on time, was friendly, efficient and got my daughter into her bedroom with a working door knob and lock. We highly recommend! read more

Nadav from Pioneer Locksmith was absolutely fantastic. My son had locked his bike with a Kryptonite lock, and we had completely lost the key. Nadav responded quickly and was so accommodating that he actually arrived and coordinated with the recreation center office before I could even get there. As luck would have it, the rec center ended up finding the missing key, so the lock didn't need to be cut after all. Even though Nadav had taken the time to come out and was ready to help, he refused to charge me for the visit. It's rare to find someone so honest, professional, and customer-focused. He turned what was shaping up to be a stressful situation into an easy one. I would not hesitate to call him again and highly recommend Pioneer Locksmith to anyone in need of help. read more

He CAME. He SAW. He CONQUERED my lock problem! Look no further, Marin. Nadav is on the job. I cold-called the shop and Nadav picked up the phone, diagnosed my issue generally and asked for a few pics of the door knob. In LESS THAN an HOUR he was at my front door, fixing the problem then whisking away to Novato and G-d knows how many other locksmithing emergencies? I'm being a bit glib, but the bottom line: this guys knows his stuff. Works fast. Fixes your problem(s). What more *is* there in life? Call Pioneer! read more

Nadev lived up to his prior stellar Yelp reviews. I had a broken front door handle/latch to replace. Nadev scheduled quickly, showed up on time (a little before, actually), worked very quickly while delivering expert craftsmanship. And he kept me informed of what was needed and what he was doing as he progressed. Plus - he is a very personable guy. Enjoyed his being on the job. He cleaned up afterwards, having had to drill new holes and cut a bit more space to fit the new latch mechanism. Couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

Last Night, I thought I lost my keys and called Pioneer Locksmith to come and change my locks.
