This is the best lock smith I have ever dealt with. Very polite and professional. Dax was very helpful and quick. The prices were great, I definitely didn't feel over charged. I have used Redfield's on multiple occasions and will continue to use them. read more

They went above & beyond to help me out, & charged me very fairly for their time.

I had a very unusual key which I needed to have copied and every other locksmith whom I called, which was at least 20, just flat-out refused to even try to help me solve my issue. Sure, I could have spent a lot more and pulled out the cylinder or remove the entire locking mechanism from the piece of heavy equipment but luckily I recalled Redfield's. Well in all honesty, I didn't recall them, until after I was reminded, but another locksmith about 15 miles away said hey if you get into downtown at all you should check out redfield's. Now I had worked with Redfield before with some apartment buildings that I owned, namely they helped me to develop a master key system with individual keys for my tenants and on my beautiful Coastal home they installed virtually pick proof locks and secondary security measures to make my home fairly impenetrable to all but the most determined humans who might want to gain entrance, probably using heavy equipment. Anyhow, they found a key that had a similar slot and sizing and they did some custom modifications and made me a key which, although it did not look the same, it worked the same. Now I have more than one key for this piece of heavy equipment that I just had shipped in from out of the country and I feel a lot better about things in general. All of this for under $10. I would say not only are these guys some of the best in the business, these gentlemen are THE best in the business when it comes to skill set and service. I believe that if you have anything from the most simple matter involving locksmithing to some epically difficult problem, call Redfield! read more

Super responsive, fast affordable service.. great communication and they showed up on time. Very detailed oriented. They came got my door rekeyed excellent service. I highly recommend them. I will be using RedFields again. Thank you for your hard work ! read more

Needed a key copied, got a key copied. Took 30 seconds , $3, and opened the intended door. Man behind the counter was pleasant and helpful. Thanks! read more

The best locksmith, hands down! The nicest, friendliest experience I've ever had with a locksmith! I am a customer for life!

Company that made our lock and key went out of business and no one else could make the key i needed. I was suggested Redfield's by other places and i got the key i needed made and two spares within 15 mins of entering the shop. Good responsive customer service and was willing to do corrections if it wasn't perfect for the lock. Thank you for your help! read more

We stopped by for a Schlage deadbolt activator - brought in the broken part from our front door lock. The helpful man immediately dug through well-organized drawers of unused surplus parts and presto! He gave me not one, not two, but four extras. He wouldn't take any money! We have a new go-to locksmith! read more

1000 stars if I could! Called for same day service at 11:45 and they told me it would be between 1 and 1:30. No problem I say. Well, it's 12:35 and they've been here, done the work and been gone for 15 minutes. These guys have been the sunshine in my extremely grey day. Thank you! read more

I really like this place! Don't go to Home Depot - Go here instead! They have really cool keys to pick from and I think that they are around $3.50. The guys there are super friendly. FYI - metered parking so bring change and also bring cash. If your total is not $10 or more you cant pay with card. read more

Place is always locked up. Closed. I've been by a dozen times with no luck. Guessing only one employee who is always out on jobs. So, if you need a quick key made this is not the place. read more

Fit me into the service rotation day of request. They couldn't have been more accommodating! I really appreciated that!

I'm an idiot. The keys were correct. What happened was he duplicated both and paired them together. Assuming the keys were paired separately, I thought I got the same keys. My bad! Thank you! read more

Great fast and reliable service, we use them personally and for all our corporate jobs too. Highly recommended!

AWESOME Customer Service & GREAT Price!! I came home from vacation and realized I had LEFT MY KEYS at my relatives house!! You know after a long vacation all you want is to be home! I googled locksmith and Redfields came up. I like to support local business' so I gave them a try. Their price seemed right and Dax, the owner was such a nice guy. He got to my house in about an hour and got me into my home within minutes!! He also re-keyed my house in about 45 minutes. I would use them again! THANKS DAX!! read more

I had to come to this lock and key as they were the only choice provided by my landlord. They last minute canceled their first appointment. I spoke to Dax on three separate occasions for a quote, appointment and detail of services needed. He took it upon himself to key an extra door not quoted or asked for. He apologized and said he would put the old lock back on. But oops ten minutes later he forgot he threw away all the pins. His response I'm only charging you 21.50 for his mistake. Thank you Dax if the your mistake was only 21.50 why couldn't you eat those costs. After he realized his mistake he called my landlord, what is she supposed to do for him? I am the one paying? I tried calling to talk to a manager, no one answered. Dax even said thank you to me when I pointed out this was his mistake, um your welcome? read more

I ran in with one set of keys. Five minutes later, I ran out with two sets. The lady working there was sweet and made the 3 keys right in front of me (no having to return, yay!). It turned out to be $8 total with an extra coiled key ring I bought. She didn't have cash so she let me pay with a credit card. It's a good mom-and-pop store. Does what you need them to do, so you can deal with the rest of your busy life. read more

Fast. Friendly. Knowledgeable. What more can you ask for? The two gentlemen here are amazing. I live in Mission Valley but drives here just to get my keys cut. Prices are extremely affordable. Never had any issues with my keys not working. They were the only one who were able to look up the code/model for a particular key that I needed to be cut. Highly recommend this place. read more

The reviews are right this place is the best in the neighborhood. Super fast and really affordable work. Lost my mail key and they came and replaced it in less than 10 minutes with two spare keys. Would recommend to anybody in the area. read more

Making the key is one thing but getting it to work properly in your lock is a different story. These guys get it right every time. And perhaps that might be just what we would expect, but with them it is so much more. How can I get so excited about a locksmith you ask? I walked in there having a really crappy day. He was super kind and nice to me. Impossible not to like the guy. And then I told him that I needed to mail the key off to Santa Barbara. He said, "here let me give you an envelope and stamp free." I mean really! How many people would do that? I would drive over half an hour just to have this guy make keys for me. If you're going to give your business to somebody, you might as well give it to a nice guy. They don't make him much better than him. And besides, he gives away multiple types of chocolate candy while you're waiting. He earned my business 10 times over read more

Rarely does someone go out of their way to be helpful to a voice at the other end of the phone. This company came through when I was locked out of my house. They had a full schedule of customers already by the time I called, but still took the time to get to my house and get the lock open. I can't say enough good things about them. read more

My door lock was old and decrepit and I was having a hard time unlocking and locking it. Read about Redfield's and called them out. Their service was prompt, professional and the charge was reasonable, especially considering the amount of work involved! No, they're not cheap, but they charge a fair price. I'll call on them again if necessary. Very pleased with the response and work. read more

Excellent service. Prompt and efficient. I would not consider them pricey, although they are not cheap. However you do get what you pay for and they are worth it whether it comes to copying keys or replacing locks/cylinders. I cannot count the number of times I have had to return keys to be remade, as they did not work, to these corner locksmith places or places such as Lowes or Home Depot (I can say their names, right?) :-) read more

Come here instead of the big name stores that have you waiting around until someone decides to help you! I was in and out in less than five minutes and it was super cheap--I found my new favorite locksmith. read more

I had a break-in at my house and needed the locks changed ASAP, i called these guys and I spoke with a man named Andy, he was so friendly and helpful, he assured me that someone would be out immediately, another man came out not even 20 minutes later (I live in the PB area) he also was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He was in and out in another 15 minutes and was really reasonably priced. My locks work great and I couldn't be happier with the service. I will for sure use these guys again and recommend!!! YIPEE Redfields lock and key!! read more

I needed my locks changed ASAP after I lost my purse with my keys and ID- which had my address on it. I thought I would need to buy 8 deadbolts. He rekeyed my locks in a matter of minutes for a fraction of the cost of new locks. He was done before I thought he even started!!! So sweet and kind!! I don't usually do reviews, but this company deserves 10 stars! I now have piece of mind for my daughter and I, safely locked in our home!!! Thank you!! read more

Had some house locks replaced and was very happy across the board. He was on time, professional, finished in a timely manner, and was reasonably priced. I would definitely use them again. read more

I have been using them for years! Re keyed our office and my home. Fast and reliable.

I have used Redfield's Lock & Key over the past 8 years. Having several commercial buildings, I'm always requiring new locks and fast service. Dax is very knowledgeable about what will pass code and what doesn't. Their prices are very reasonable and they are very reliable. I had an emergency one evening and couldn't leave one of my units and Dax was there within 1/2 hr! Love these guys and won't go anywhere else. Thanks for going above and beyond. It's nice to see that customer service still exists. read more

It took over a week to obtain a quote from Redfield's. Once I finally got it- I called and Larry re-quoted it, but this time at $400 more than the original quote!! He was very rude and unhelpful- laughing at a customer..wow!! Worst customer service!! Don't use this place! read more

EXCEPTIONAL Service and at an amazingly fair price! Dax just left my home. Door Lock re-keyed; new keys made. All within about 30 minutes. I called this morning .... they accommodated my desire to have an ASAP appointment (Securiy Issue). Dax was very pleasant, very experienced and very fair. Price was precisely what was quoted .... and to have this work done for less than $75 was an absolute bargain! And a Great Job as well. Could not be more delighted. My home is safe, i did not have to spend more than the appointment time + 45 minutes, and price was exceptionally fair! read more

I had a terrible experience being locked out of my business. A service man showed up, was unprofessional, broke his drill bit into the dead bolt and said "sorry can't open it, call someone else." I was flabbergasted! I will let everyone know not to use this company. read more

I was visiting Rite Aid on 5th avenue in San Diego when I realized I had locked my keys inside my vehicle. I always carry a spare in my purse but I was in a rented car and didn't have an extra copy. The clerk in Rite Aid walked me over to Redfield's Lock and Key (a half a block away) and I shared my story. I was told the amount I would be charged if this company walked over to Rite Aid parking lot and opened my car door, which I was agreeable to. However, one of the owners spoke up and asked if I had AAA car insurance and I confirmed I did. They suggested I call them because there would be no charge for them to come out and unlock my door. What a generous suggestion. Oh, BTW, I left my phone in the car so I didn't have that either. The owner, Dax Beno gave me his phone to use, then took it back and made the call to AAA himself knowing the exact location of my vehicle, my insurance card info and so much more. They offered me a soda and chair. They were both so nice and generous to me. I wouldn't have anyone else make keys for me, put in new locks in my home or unlock me from a locked vehicle. Don't use anyone else. These guys are the real deal, with prices you can live with. read more

I love this team. They are extremely friendly and very helpful. They have a smile on their face every time and never say they can't do anything. Thank you, Rosie Hueso at U.S. Healthworks. read more

It is too bad you cant give a company 6 stars. Redfield's Lock and Key went above and beyond to make sure my lock request was taken care of efficiently, accurately, and with a smile. Family owned and operated, Patty, Larry, and Dax are the best in San Diego. I really enjoyed my experience with them and would recommend them to family, friends, and colleagues without hesitation. Thanks again Redfield's! -Christopher Hunter (Certified Teacher and Personal Trainer) read more

Dax is awesome. Friendly, professional and caring. The service provided was quick and reasonable priced. He found simple solutions and provided knowledgeable information. I wish every company was this way ... my life would be a lot simpler. read more
