My spouse and I lost the keys to my custom 1977 Westfalia VW microbus while moving. After looking for a couple of days decided to call Premier Locksmith. A little less than two hours later, the ignition and all the doors were rekeyed and I had a second set of keys as backup. The price was very reasonable. Premier took a bad situation and made it better in no time. read more

Matt and Premier locksmith are great! Matt was professional, friendly and awesome to work with. Would highly recommend and wi def work with them in the future! read more

Elliott has been the best locksmith I have ever had by far. Right from the initial phone call I knew that he had all the hallmarks of a 5-star business: knowledgeable, up front about costs, timing, etc., and very responsive (to emails too! How rare is that?). My needs were not complex but it was a bit of a spaghetti-logic situation and Elliott took the time to fully understand what they were so he was fully prepared. After sending him a few snapshots of what he was working with he quickly presented my options and he managed to fit me for same-day service (it was not an urgent lock-out). The moment he showed up he went right to work and was done before I had time to order lunch online. Seriously...I've never seen anyone re-key a lock in the time he did it. After he finished I knew with all certainty that I found my lock guy because he not only reinforced all my earlier impressions but also sealed the deal with the quality of his work. You can tell that he is experienced and truly values quality. I complained that a few key copies that I had made at the nearby Lowes were very finicky since they needed some jiggly love before agreeing to turn in the lock so I asked him to make some better copies. In the span of a few minutes he was back from his truck with *proper* copies that worked perfectly (note that it takes at least a few minutes just to get out of my building so color me impressed). While installing a deadbolt Eddie asked me in passing who installed my previous lock and I noncommittally answered "some local locksmith" (I honestly couldn't remember). After finishing he told me the reason he asked was because he rarely sees a door drilled correctly with the configuration I have on my door, expressing appreciation for a job done correctly. It's the little things I guess. read more

I called around to get quotes for some locksmithing working I needed done. Elliot gave me the best quote, he showed up on time to do the work, and charged exactly what he had quoted. It was all super easy. I will definitely use him again if I need more work done and I've recommended him to friends. Can't get much better than that! read more

We've used Premiere for a couple of different jobs now and they rocked it. If you use another locksmith you'll be disappointed because Premiere's standard for customer service and doing amazing work is so high. Use them, they're awesome. You'll be happy. The end. read more

Everything about the experience exceeded my expectations. The only challenge we faced was due to technical issues with a lock that I provided to the locksmith, but Matt (the locksmith) took care of that too. Matt, thank you very much. You're a great person and you are excellent at what you do. Thank you very much. read more

We needed a car key replacement and got the very high estimates from car dealers and other locksmith storefronts who make keys were charging almost as much, but Premier is honest and reasonably priced with excellent service! If you're in need to key replacements these are your guys! read more

Amazing customer service. Matt Batmale not only installed the two deadbolt locks I requested, he also helped remove stripped screws from an outside garden light. He also showed up with two less expensive options for the locks which I ended up using. This saved me money and was easily something the business did not have to do. I cannot say enough good things about Matt and the company. read more

Excellent, quick, competent service. No creepy vibes with this guy. The only reason I didn't give him 5 stars is because, while he was very competitively priced, he wasn't cheap. That said, I called the guy at 7:15am because my key would not turn in the ignition to start my truck. At 10am I had a working truck and two new keys, plus a lot of practical advice I hadn't been given before. I will call Premier again in a heartbeat. read more

I lost the keys to my bike and needed another copy asap. I called him and schedule an appointment right before closing time which is 5pm. I ran into some problems and got there late and he still took me in with a smile. While I was waiting I was offered different type of sodas and water. He made 2 copies of the lost key and 2 other keys I needed for my other bikes in about 20 mins. He only charged me 80$ for 4 motorcycle keys while other places I called were at least 100$ and KEY KRAFT said they would do it for 75$ but thats for only one key and they will not accept any other bikes pass 4pm sharp. He'll be the only locksmith number saved in my phone from now on read more

Great service, on time, professional & reasonable. My car was stolen with my house keys and identification. The guy showed up when promised and was finished in 15 minutes. I would recommend them highly! read more

fast response, informative, no pressure selling, no talking down. just a good company that is there to help you and it completely upfront about your options. refreshing from the "oh maybe this, or that, or we have to see" responses. thank you for getting us back on the road. read more

Great company. From the time I called them until the time our building's front door lock was fixed was a little over an hour. We have 21 apartments in the building, and many of the keys worked with much difficulty. Now they all work fine! read more

Quick service. Replaced a lock for us.

I stripped a key in my bike lock and called Premier to help. Matt came by my office and corrected the issue quickly, professionally and with a smile. Price was reasonable. I'd definitely utilize their services again. read more

Needed a locksmith today. Showed up almost immediately to our business since they were in the area. Kind, considerate and amazing service. Gave us everything we asked for and both the office and the actual locksmith were extremely easy to deal with. Would use again and recommend to everyone we know. read more

Premier is a real top notch establishment. I called in for an emergency lockout and the owner (because their locksmiths were all on jobs) came out to help me within 15 minutes. I have called locksmiths before and had to wait hours on end for someone to show up. Just the fact that the owner will come help you in an emergency deserves 5 stars from me!!!! Keep up the good work and Karma! read more

I am so grateful I found Elliot here. Prompt quote for all the options. He gave me heads up for the arrival notice, arrived on time, quickly installed the bar lock and plates, offered some extra insights and material for the other issues we had with old doors! Thanks so much. read more

Full disclosure: I haven't actually used Premier Locksmith but Matt was so helpful over the phone that I think they still deserve a great Yelp review... I called on a Saturday to see if they could help fix a problem I was having with the ignition switch in my Toyota. Matt said that they didn't work on ignition switches but referred me to another local business and said they could probably help. I really appreciate the help and referral. I was able get my ignition switch fixed with minimal cost and headaches; thanks, Matt!! read more

Unbelievably quick and professional. Elliott responded to my call and texts to clone a car key and when I got there, he made the key in a minute! Would definitely call them again read more

Matt was great! We got locked out of the house and despite many refusals from other locksmiths due to the difficulty of our lock, Matt was quick to respond and arrived in 20min. Great service! I'd definitely recommend and call again if in this situation again! (hopefully we won't need to!) read more

I can't say enough good things about the service our business received from Elliott. Our door handle had suffered abuse for years and needed replacing. We were leaning towards a more expensive lock and handle but Elliott advised us that we would be fine with a cheaper option. The installation was quick and when they were finished they brought a shop vacuum in to vacuum up the water and debris ( it happened to be raining that day). As we were closing we realized that our new door handle was in the way of our being able to put our security gates up (our oversight, not Premier's). We managed that night, but the following morning Elliott came back to alter our door handle (free of charge) so we wouldn't face that problem again. I wish these good people were my dry cleaner so I could take advantage of their service more often. read more

I was so impressed with this locksmith. I found him here on Yelp thanks to the other positive reviews and I called him when our front door knob came out of the door. Elliott answered the phone and was over at my house within an hour and a half. He took a look at the door and the lock and I learned that the lock was broken in two places. He had a part back at his place that would fit it and when he came back, he had it installed within 15 minutes. Fast, courteous and an all over nice guy. I would definitely recommend him to any of my neighbors. read more

Work Fast & Arrived Prompt... these guys showed up quickly on Saturday afternoon & within less than an half an hour of me calling after finding my lock jammed, they had arrived. Within 30 minute they were onsite and within in an hour they had me in my place of business, and with a fresh new lock that worked perfectly. They told me right up front that the service call fee for Saturday was $125...and the whole visit with replacement lock & installation including a new key came in at approx $225. read more

for the first time ever, I lost my car key. It was my only key, as the backup I had been given by the dealership years ago proved to not work, nor fit! I got my car towed in to the nearest ford dealership (serramonte ford), thinking that this was the thing to do, only to be made to wait 3 hours before being told that they would need to completely replace all lock cylinders in my car, for $950.00. They wanted to replace lock cylinders I dont even have, like the glove compartment!, Then after I alerted them to this they told me they could call a locksmith, but would still charge me $300 for two hours labor that it took them to pop my hood and open my door! They said that their locksmith guy would need an additional $400!! So what I did was immediately stop talking to them, stood by my car Called AAA immediately and asked for a tow to my trusted mechanic who could do the job. The gentleman who towed my car reccomended me to Premier Locksmith, and luckily I took his advice. The pro at Premier Locksmith was able to grind out 2 new keys for me and encode them both for under $200!! All other locksmiths had quoted me 300-400 for the job, and he did it right quick, (under 20 minutes), and charged me less than half of the lowest quote I was able to get over the phone. Moral of the story, NEVER go to a car dealership for ANYTHING, and also use premier locksmith in SF every time. read more

I pulled the boneheaded move of losing the only key I had for my 2005 Ford. It's one of those security keys with a transponder chip. When I put the key into the ignition, it has to send the right code to the car; if the car doesn't get the right code, then it won't start. I called Serramonte Ford, and they referred me to Premier Locksmiths. I called and explained the situation, and they said that they could come out to my location and cut & program a new key for me. I hurried over to my car after work, and Matt showed up within minutes. He had to cut the key, program the key, hook a machine up to my car's computer system, and wipe out the existing key code and then re-program the car with the new key's code. I had him make a second key, and he also gave me the valet key he'd made. Matt was cheerful, friendly, and he really knows his work. Premier Locksmiths got me out of a really difficult situation, and they charged me way less for two keys than another company was going to charge me for one key. Next time I need any locksmith services, you can be sure I'll call Premier Locksmiths. Thanks, Matt! read more

Elliot is a top quality locksmith ! I am very particular with finish work and he continues to exceed my expectation every time i work with him. He replaced all of my broken Victorian doorknobs and im thrilled. A++++++ . Thank you Elliot. read more

Used these guys a few times and they have always been honest, professional and priced very well. Thanks Elliot and Matt!

Friendly, efficient service at a reasonable price. I received a quote quickly, and they had readily available appointments that fit my schedule. They were on time, repaired my lock quickly and efficiently, and explained the repairs so a non-technical person like me could understand it. I paid with Square and was on my way. They made my lock woes a painless process. Definitely recommend. read more

We were locked out of our place for four hours. Got the key from the landlord, and it would not work. Matt came and in rapid speed had the door open. He was extremely knowledgeable as well about knobs and whether we'd need a replacement. All in all I couldn't have been happier! read more

Great service. Matched a new ignition cylinder to my old keys for my ford truck so I didn't have to get new keys. Fast, friendly and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended. read more

Elliot was able to help me open up a sentry safe with a dead battery in a matter of minutes. Quick, friendly, and reasonably priced.

These guys were a total lifesaver. My car had this annoying problem of holding onto my keys after I turned off the ignition and everyone was telling me it was an issue with my "ignition switch lock cylinder" and that it needed to be replaced. I was estimated anywhere from $450-$750. A friend recommended me to Elliott at Premier Locksmith and it paid off: Turns out it wasn't a problem with the ignition at all but some sort of safety mechanism belt connecting the shifter to the ignition that prevents the keys from coming out while the car's still running. Elliott figured it out on the spot and fixed everything in a matter of minutes and refused to take any payment. The guy easily saved me several hundred wasted dollars. These guys are as honest as they come and do free estimates-you've got no reason not to call them when you've got problems. read more

We had Premier Locksmith come out twice this week. Once to replace a car key, and once to fix our electronic gate lock and re-key a house door. The locksmith showed up right on time and was very professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to double check his work, and explain to me why the gate was broken. He even took the time to re-cut my own key so that it would work better and made us a few free copies. I think they are priced competitively, but aren't super cheap. I would highly recommend! They are also a truly locally-owned business. read more

I've been in various situations where Elliott and Lucas and their smiling helpers basically saved my bacon--they're professional and intelligent and HONEST--and in my case, they got the same job done faster and cheaper than AAA--I know, I've tried them both, and Premier takes the prize easily--I'll use them anytime and highly recommend their team. read more

Ok this is why I use Yelp....Everything is true..He is mellow, knows his stuff, and even offers you a beverage while you wait. They answer the phone and he calls you back. I called dealers that never called me back. It was so easy knowing that it could be done, dealers probably would have charged me 3 times what he charged. Oh and Leo his bulldog, he rocks.. Don't waste your time with anyone else.. read more

Some crackhead broke into the van my band uses for gigs. They broke in and shoved a random key into the ignition thus rendering it useless. That's what I get for parking overnight on 6th and Jesse. Elliott showed up on time and replaced the ignition switch in minutes and ended up charging $10 less than he had previously quoted! I mentioned that I saw him on Yelp and he gave me back another $10, sweet! And his pup (Lou, I think) is freaking adorable. Premier Locksmith is now on my phone contacts list for future lock-picking needs! read more

Super solid locksmith. I had to get motorcycle keys made, which a lot of locksmiths shy away from. He did a quick and perfect job. THANK YOU!!! read more

Matt made me a new key for my 2000 Camry and saved the holiday weekend. I scheduled it last night and he even called me 20 min. before he arrived this morning so I knew my day would run smoothly. Thank you! read more

Called them when was locked out of our house--they came in just 15mins! Took them about 10mins. Very professional. Very friendly. I'll use them again. read more
