Always incredible service and he's been working with my parents for over 40 years! I highly recommend Point Loma luck and you won't be disappointed. read more

Horrible experience with Point Loma Locks today! Over the last 7 years, every so often when one of my clients needs a locksmith, I've recommended Point Loma Lock, mostly because they are local. Never again. Today, one of my client's guests locked themselves out of the house. My client is out of town so she called me to handle. I was unable to find a way in. I called Point Loma Lock, who I had not personally met previously. The man who answered said they had to talk to the owner of the house first. No problem. I had her call him. She called me back and said he was rude and refused to come out. I thought maybe there was a misunderstanding. I called him back and he said he was too busy. When I started to ask him why he would treat my customer so rudely, he literally hung up on my mid-sentence. I ended up calling Key Korner which I've used to duplicate keys and they agreed to come right out. Point Loma Locks will not be getting any recommendations from me in the future. read more

Yody is always on time and he is very professional - get the job done right in record time - we have been calling him for several years now. read more

Very good service and fair price. I called to make an appointment and someone was at my house within 15 minutes.

Yody came out yesterday to change out my gate keys. He was on time, very pleasant and professional! Got the job done in record time...Thank you so much! I will be using him again! read more

After going somewhere else on sports Arena and getting two cheap keys made that didn't work, I remembered this little local spot and walked down, and the nicest man ever helped me make two great quality keys for a very fair price and greeted our dogs with enthusiasm as a bonus! read more

Quality and convenient location. Owner knows his stuff and gets it right every time. No excuses offered & none taken.

I've known yodi the owner for decades. That's why I gave the 5 stars. He's a nice guy but he's getting old. Don't take his word as gospel he gets confused but if it's a simple job and he can do it then it's ok read more

Thank you for not ripping me off. You were kind and professional. You were very prompt and could have sold me new dead bolts but you solves the problem without any BS and you only charged me the service fee of showing up. Much appreciated. read more

I had a great experience with them. The owner came very promptly, quickly understood what needed to be done (rekey all my locks) and worked quickly leaving no mess behind. The price was very reasonable and the owner is a friendly and interesting person. I highly recommend this business. read more

Went above and beyond. Repaired the lock to my 1965 Ford Falcon at no charge. Very nice guy. I will go back.

We bought a house and were advised that it's always a good idea to get the locks/keys changed. We kept putting it off because we thought it'd be a pain. I bookmarked this place a while ago and finally got around to calling yesterday, and to my surprise, the owner offered to come out immediately. He gave me a clear quote over the phone and was over in 5 minutes as promised. We had three door locks and one gate rekeyed and got 7 keys including 3 Baldwin keys. Total with tax was just under $70, which we thought was fair. And the best part - it only took him about 30 minutes. Oh - and he recycles old keys so we gave him our old keys as well as a few others we don't know what they open anymore. I love supporting a local business. The owner said that he's been in Point Loma over 20 years! Quote (confirm with owner when you call just in case it changes): $20 service call to come to your place $7.50 to rekey one lock (keep in mind a lot of deadbolts have two locks) $1.50 for each key ($4 for Baldwin key) Fast, efficient and cheap = clear 5 stars! read more

Twice now we have needed these services, both last minute emergencies. Our calls were answered right away and were serviced extremely quickly, with a high quality of knowledge and work. We are very grateful to have this company in our neighborhood! read more

I've used this guy 3 times now to fix different lock issues around my house. First time he re-keyed my sliding glass door so it matched my front door. Next time he completed installation of a new front door handle that a painter had installed improperly. The last time he was here he replaced a part in an old garage door lock so that it would open and close again. A few years back I paid a handy man to install new door handles in my home, it took him a ridiculous amount of time to do it, I should have called Point Loma lock. Seriously, door handles and locks are hard for people, but not for this guy. If you need something done with a lock this guy will do it. Each time he has shown up super fast and gets the job done. He's awesome. He's a professional at what he does. His phone demeanor may not be the best ever, but in person he is great. read more

I just called the number listed on Yelp. A guy answered and rudely said "I'm not open today, call Monday." And hung up. Terrible customer service. read more

Needed a couple keys ... this was cheap, fast, friendly ... way easier than going somewhere like Home Depot. And I'd rather go to a small independent business. As far as I can tell this is owner-operated and a lot of his business comes from mobile locksmithing -- first time I went, he was out and about. No problem (I'm glad he provides mobile service) but just a warning to those of you going out of your way, be sure to call first! read more

Replaced a front door lock and repaired- that no one else could a 1954 front door lock mechanism.

Parking: if no street parking is available you can park in area in front of store. You can drive over small lip of a curb. This space looks like the "front yard" of the shop. Best locksmith in San Diego. Home Depot and others mess up duplication of keys that this guy duplicates perfectly every time. Originally from Korea, this guy knows what he's doing. Will only come here for my locksmith needs. Especially boat keys! I arrived here one time only to find he wasn't in. He was off doing a project. I slipped a note under his door with a key that needed duplicated and he called me when it was done. Bingo! read more

Point Loma Lock - Best lock smith in San Diego - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Diego, California

Our epic and long journey of getting key copies made came to an end today. It all began three fortnights ago amidst The Niño reign of rain. Dark times as the Quieter Homes Program of San Diego's army battled the forces to replace our windows and doors. Once the rain and sawdust settled- we came out victorious. Or so we thought. Two house keys and three roommates. As the shaman of mendo, I offered my key to my fellow brethren. Wherein the true journey began. Our knight, Sir Billy (also known as Paul) and I traveled far and wide in search of the one true locksmith. We had no idea how arduous the journey would become. First we crossed the Loma Portal wherein we came upon Home Depot. Just as Sir Billy unsheathed his key we were sent away as the key guy opened his jaws and politely told us he was out of base keys. Just as we made it out- rush hour hit and we had no choice but to retreat to mendo in order to save our sanity. Empty handed. The second leg in our journey sort of fell in our laps just before we crossed into the Coves of La Jolla. There it was! Ace Hardware! Alas, some luck! We had the shining key copied and were on our way. We completed our mission and returned to the gates of mendo wherein we slid the new key into it's keeper and it did not turn. Another failed attempt. As we built up our strength over a short time, Sir Billy had an epiphany and we quickly journeyed down to the Beaches of Ocean- commonly known as Ocean Beach. "I've never had the guys on Newport fail me!" We waltzed into our old ally's palace, OB Hardware and got double copies! Rejoice! Our haste proved detrimental- no luck yet again.. The key wouldn't turn. A hex perhaps. As we sat in our kingdom, beaten and weathered, we decided to walk to Yee Old 711 for some cold ale. We trekked on foot. Which proved us all the more well. You see, hidden somehow on the beaten path just steps from our own front door is a locksmith. Our own neighbor. Composed and disinterested in our adventurous spirits he excused us to get our six pack and went to work. So our journey ends. This kindred soul dropped the weird shaped keys on the counter and just as soon as he appeared, he vanished into the storeroom shadows. Our keys glistening as they turned the locks. VICTORY!! This lesson will live on for generations to come. This Small Business is fast, inexpensive and reliable. I highly recommend it. Forth place I had to go just to get some house keys copied. Will be my go-to here on out! read more

Whiz Bang. You are outta there. Don't even take the keys of the ring. Beware: The owner may want to involve you in a political discussion. He listens to talk radio on 11. Cheap and easy. read more

I first met Yodi and green feathered friend, when he was new in the Point back in the 80's. The first test was to re-key the Point Loma Little League as every Coach, Team Mom, etc..had keys to our little Snack Shack :). Next, we introduced him to our Portuguese Community, and pretty soon, every Public building our Community was involved with was rekeyed at some point or other. Recently, on a last minute call, he rescued my BFF to the tune of only $94.00. That was rekeying 4 security doors, plus 5 keys, and rekeying one lock for another property, plus one key. He is extremely clean, quick, and very honest. His pricing blows everyone else right out of the water! Those of us who have moved out of the Point over the years, Yodi has been right there to help with our new locks and keys. Yodi's loyalty stretches as far as Rancho Santa Fe and as close as Fashion Valley! Always call before you visit his store front as one never knows if he will be out on an emergency lock-out! Rachel Freitas and Bob Caldwell read more

This guy knows what he's doing. Had to have a lock-set re-keyed and he was done in less than twenty minutes, and gave me a fair price. A definite likeable character. One rule: call ten minutes ahead of time or he might not be there. read more

Got another 2 keys duplicated in about a minute for only $3.24 Fantastic! read more

I called Yodi at Point Loma Lock & Key this morning and he fit me into his schedule within a few hours. He not only changed my front and back door dead bolts and locks, he did it quickly and for a great rate. Yodi is so kind and genuinely cares. He heard that I was changing the locks because I recently had a truly crazy, scary roommate. Fortunately, she and her young family member finally moved out (without paying excess back-rent that was due, but she FINALLY left!) Yodi was concerned about my safety AND, after ensuring that the locks and alarm were set, gave me some advice about how to change my garage door opener codes. His work is excellent, and he is compassionate. This is a man I will hire and recommend all day long. read more

I just called Yodi at Point Loma Lock to fix my front door lock. He came out within 15 minutes, took the whole lock apart, fixed the interior parts as they had gotten bent and a portion of the installed parts from the factory had been put in backwards. He was very professional and pleasant and explained the proper way to use the lock. I highly recommend this company. read more

Point Loma Lock came within 10 minutes from a phone and only took 10 minutes to open door. The man knows what he's doing he's magical at his his craft. He takes check or crash thus keeping the cost down. Only $40.00 to open door. That's a good price. I give this man a 10 of being a locksmith. read more

Fast and expensive - arrived within 30 minutes, charged $21 for coming out and $95 to unlock a keyed doorknob.

Fast, skilled and friendly! $35 for being a complete airhead and locking my moms keys in her trunk lol. Ahh, good times.

Should be minus. I told the fellow the lock was to old to rekey. He said I can do it. Now 90days later, the lock is broken they, say you need a new lock $300.00 Hind sight is good, I should never have had it worked on. read more

Quick, easy, painless, and open until 5 pm on a Friday. Price was decent, too. Under $8 for 4 keys and 4 of those rubbery colorful key ID rings. Couldn't ask for more out of a key shop! read more

Literally just called them and so not impressed. I called to come down and he explained to me that he is not available (24 hours? It's only 5pm). I was having a really hard time understanding him when he proceeded to hang up on me. Rude. read more

Just had all of our locks re-keyed. I called and 40 minutes later someone was here. Super fast service and a very reasonable price!

Super cheap quick and efficient! Was a little rude on the phone but for the price and speediness I would say it almost doesn't matter :)

Just called the number listed because it's advertised as 24 hour lock out service and he says no he's not working right now! Don't promote yourself as a 24 hour service of you don't want to make the money! read more

Gave the guy my key, he copied it in under 10 seconds, and charged me less than two bucks. The fastest and most inexpensive key copy place I've ever been to. And the key copy works fine. Points! read more

Nice guy, great job, replaced the locks on my house. He is straigtforward, he could have suggested that I fix other things. Thanks.

This man lacks integrity and customer service. He doesn't stand behind his work and makes it impossible to get ahold of. Maybe you'll get lucky and find him in his shop, but good luck having him follow through on his work. read more

No frills but this guy is fast, cheap and honest. I've used him twice. He's reliable and knows his stuff. Call him and you won't be disappointed! read more

Very quick and cheap! He knew where my key was right away that want available at Home Depot. Will definitely be back here for future key sitches :) read more

I have been waiting around all day for this guy to show up and now he is not answering, terrible customer service.
