Have been here a few times to make copies of my keys. Fast and efficient... in and out in less than 10 min!

Very rude, argumentative and annoyed on the phone. must not need my business. I'm going somewhere else.

I was in desperate need of lockout and Re-key service. On a Sunday. When nobody else in town wanted to help. This Company sent a technician who found a way to get into the house and then re-key our home and left us with enough copies of the keys for all family members. He was absolutely polite, professional, experienced, and reassuring - everything you would want in a stressful situation. 100% endorsed by our entire family. read more

called to request some service and the guy sounded too busy and hung up on me twice.. not a good look at all...

I don't appreciate the fact you assume he was an unlicensed locksmith and he did not have the required insurance or other credentials. And btw bond is not needed by law. Don't assume your customers are ignorant for you to lie to them and they won't know it. Even a simple Google search will prove your bluff. But I appreciate you replying and trying yo BS me. read more

I have been going to San Pedro Lock and Key for decades and they are the best. Kevin just fixed/adjusted an old lock on my front door and it now works perfectly. He also made a part for and old lock that I wanted to keep, and not replace. San Pedro Lock and Key responds quickly and charges fair prices. I highly recommend San Pedro Lock and Key. JRA read more

They came to my business same day I called and did a very quick efficient job installing a lock on the office door

I had two doors that needed both doorknob and deadbolt fixing. K arrived right on time, fixed them both, and minted a new key. I was so glad that he could simply make a key right there in his truck, instead of me having to go somewhere. He finished quicky, was super friendly and did a fantastic job! The price was half of what I was expecting. I am super happy. I have used SP Lock and Key in the past, and will always use them in the future! read more

Very professional. Was going to a different location but decided to visit this location instead. Gave many great advices.

Well the 4th time around was a bit upsetting. Man said my lock had a problem which I thought it was part of the service call, he did not mention it would be an added cost to fixing it. My bill went from 106 to 146. Nice man but I believe telling the customers there's going to be an extra cost before doing the extra work. So aggravating. read more

Popped a call over to the office, he put me on hold for a couple of minutes, came back on the line and told me his tech would be right over. Mike showed up within 15 minutes and got the lock all handled. It was a lot simpler than I even thought, wish I could have figured it out on my own, but I learned for next time. They were friendly, SUPER prompt, knowledgable and it didn't cost me my life savings. Thanks San Pedro Lock and Key, it pays to stay local. read more

They were to have been here at 1pm but didnt make it till 4 or so. Kevin, thank you SO MUCH for fixing my door and the locks while it was freezing and super windy out. Recommending this San Pedro based business and thanks!! read more

I've used them successfully a number of times in the past. Today I call about an emergency job and the call dropped as I was explaining the situation. I call back only to be accused of hanging up while the gentleman was speaking, he expressed annoyance that I was calling him while he's in the middle of a job. Maybe don't answer if it's not a good time? So much better then berating a client. read more

I called them at 3:24 PM on a rainy day because I have been locked out of my house on the bottom lock. At the very beginning of the call, they said it would be after 4 o'clock that somebody could show up and then within seconds he found a different locksmith that he could send out and they arrived within 15 minutes of me calling. Which is phenomenal because it's been a cold day and it's raining . Everybody else in the area quoted me $125+ . Tim at (South Bay Lock & Key) San Pedro Lock and Key did it for $95. He had to replace the cylinder in my lock because it's a smart lock so it had to be drilled out. Lucky for me. He had a brand new cylinder on him that went with my smart lock system and replaced the cylinder along with re-keying it to match the key that goes to my top lock and he only charged me an additional $20, so the entire service ended up being only $115 and he cut me two additional keys at no cost. You guys rock. Thank you Tim!!! Oh he's got a great sense of humor too!, read more

San Pedro Lock & Key - Brand new cylinder replacing the one he had to drill out to get my door open! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Pedro, California

Went to this store today to see if they can help repair a car key I spent 300 dollars on for my car. He was like I don't even want to take the screw out it's gonna break apart blah blah and said the key is broken. The key isn't broken just need a new stupid screw because it's strippedand lose and thr key jeep coming un done. He was too busy wanting to go on his phone to even help me. Lazy. You should really wait til all customers leave to go on your phone to text! Crap place. Won't be going back. read more

We called him for a simple job and he basically wanted blood type, first born, etc. Very cauky and rude too!

I was referred here by the local True Value hardware store on Pacific. I'm so glad. The shop is conveniently located next to a large parking lot. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they were able to solve my tricky key issue. While I waited, I heard them on the phone with other clients. They seem to be very prompt and professional. So glad to know about this business. read more

Some weeks ago I needed there service, they were very friendly and knowledgeable. They made my keys in about an hour and they made it compadeble to my car. So happy totally recomend them. read more

I reached out to them the day before Thanksgiving and they showed up within two hours. They were very professional and efficient. Their prices were more than fair. I highly recommend them read more

Wish I could give him a zero. I called to ask if they carried a specific tool to repair a door hinge, but was not sure of the name of the tool. Was not even allowed to finish one sentence to describe the tool before he started yelling at me about not understanding what I was talking about and then hung up on me when I was in the middle of speaking. I went in to further speak to him as I needed to know the name of the tool I was searching for to even do a search elsewhere and he proceeded to tell me that he was right to hang up on me because it was a pointless conversation. No apology for speaking down to me rudely or hanging up. Needless to say, I will never do business here again or recommend this place. It's really sad because I have lived in San Pedro my whole life and so has my whole family, so I try to buy from small businesses. Guess it'll be Home Depot for me from now on. read more

They are always helpful. We come here when we need to repair or replace car keys. They are closed on Saturday and Sunday!

San Pedro lock & key is always there when I need them. No matter how big or small my problem. I'm quite please with their service and I highly recommend them. read more

They are great . Experience is what makes them really good. They are in this lock business to do the job right. read more

What a joke of a company. Came out twice in one year to fix the same door as the same issue keeps returning so clearly really not fixing anything. Charging full price each time. The third time it happens less than 3 months since they last fixed it and they want to charge me again, parts, labor and service call. 0 integrity and no standard for their own work. Go elsewhere to someone reliable and decent. read more

Got my Nissan key programmed in no time. Well under dealer cost!! Just don't go and open the passenger door like I did so they have to start again... Super friendly and super efficient. read more

I love this key shop. They have never let me down. Getting keys for old motorcycles and scooters and obscure cars. I've yet to have a key I have gotten from here not work. Truly masters at their trade. If you have a badly worn key or need some work done this is the place to go to. I have always left satisfied the price is always fair price wise A great local businesses that definitely deserves your Attention when looking for lock services read more

Called them to correct work done by Lazimi. Got a real locksmith, Gary, who came out same day and corrected two locks at a fair price. The former company sold us an expensive replacement of Baldwin hardware and incorrectly installed it including a too-short cut of the lever. Baldwin replaces failed parts at no cost except labor so we were cheated of $1,700 for unnecessary hardware and the problem remained. Highly recommend San Pedro Lock & Key for competence and honesty. read more

Horrible rude absolutely zero customer service. Will hang up on you. Not sure how they stay in business. Would never recommend this place to my worst enemy. How do you treat paying customers this way as if you're offering free services or something. read more

Sad that they call you as you sayvhello they ask you to hold. When they come back to take your phone call they hang up on you. When you call them back all you get is "sorry i missed dialed". When you try to set up an appointment under a contract they brush you off and say that the contract is not vailded. How? When your trying to set up a contract. Under new management/owner and since then service is below standards. I give 3 stars just because of the older man that comes out un the van. I wish i had his name but, he is very professional and has a spunky work ethic. read more

I have never felt more disappointed in a company's customer service or lack of respect. We called yesterday with the full situation, explaining that it would be billed to our landlord, they said it would be fine, that they'd come this morning bright and early. Kevin did, and when it came to payment, acted completely shocked when reminded that it would be charged to an account on file. A simple "hey, my manager didn't let me know this was the situation, and there's nothing I can do on my end here, can you please call him to figure out the solution?" Would have been FINE, because the job was done and I understand that things can get lost in translation, but he was extremely rude, standoffish, said "I don't know what to tell you, here's my card, I'm late to go to another job!" When I called Joe(?) I believe his name is, he said that the woman he spoke to yesterday was a "'liar,' and we never would have said we could bill an account, the person you're trying to bill doesn't even have an account," which is interesting because when I've done business here before, they were able to bill an account on file. The person we wanted to be billed most definitely has an account, as it was just used less than a month ago. Overall, I'd stay away, the attitudes were unnecessary. read more

I have used San Pedro Lock and Key , for at least 37 years. They are always professional, prompt, courteous and reasonable priced. I called when they opened and they arrived in less than an hour, fixed my door lock, which would not unlock, we can now use our front door! read more

Have been using San Pedro lock & key for 38 yrs and my parents had used them for 21yrs before that. Always honest and fast. This time our front door's mortise lock wouldn't unlock, they came to fix it in less than an hour, got the door open and lock working! We thought we might have to drill out the lock, which would have meant a new lock would have required a new lock $$$, and possibly a new door$$$$. Definitely a bargain for under $200.00 and over an hour of labor! read more

Just went to San Pedro Lock & Key to get duplicates for my son's first vehicle. It turned out that even though the truck was a 2003 Ford with zero frills the key still had a chip in it. This made it far more expensive. However the guys at SP Lock & Key made us a free manual key just to see if it would start the truck, it didn't. Also needed a key for passenger side door as it was a different lock. Again I was told it would be far cheaper if we took the lock out ourselves and brought it to them to re-key (a savings of about 100 bucks). The guys also told us where to get replacement locks for the truck box that had been broken into! All around great honest service! read more

I called them on 11/9 at 7:30pm because I was locked out of my house. The answering machine said to leave my information and I would be receiving a call back. I left all my contact information. I received no call back at all. These guys must be millennials, and will only work when they feel like it. read more

After I posted my one-star review of San Pedro Lock & Key because the man who answered the phone threw a tantrum, a woman called to remedy the matter. I got my problem with my door promptly and courteously taken care of, but it would've been better if that had happened in the 1st place. read more

Great service. Duplicated my car keys for a very fair price and made sure everything worked perfectly before I left.

0 stars would be more appropriate. "I'm the new owner and anything that is left for repairs longer than 30 days after repair will be sold!!" I'm a loyal customer of over 15 years. I took them a safe of a customer in January before the lockdown. I was called once the it was ready for pickup. Only once. I did not get a second call to tell me they would sell my customers property if I didn't pick it up. I assumed due to the circumstances of the pandemic they would be understanding or at least call a second time.. the new owner offered no solution or apology for misunderstanding only barked at me as if I was a nuisance to him. Thanks for your understanding of the extraordinary worldwide circumstances after years of loyal services and referrals given to them. I'm a local general contractor and have given them much business in the past.. "I'm the new owner!!!!" Good luck on your new business jerk. If I dropped off the safe over a year and a half ago. You repaired it within 12 days and you held onto it for almost a year?? Can you do math? Use your fingers to count if you can't do it mentally. read more

We just bought a new home and needed the locks changed so I contacted San Pedro Lock and Key after hours and they called bright and early the next morning. I made an appointment for the next day. Alan arrived a few minutes early and was done super fast (even with 14 locks to change!). He was friendly professional quick and most importantly did not wake up my napping baby! Reasonably priced as well! If we need anything lock wise again will for sure use them and would definitely highly recommend them! read more

Awesome! Fast! Great customer service. A really nice and quite area. Lots of accessories for keys to choose from. I went here because it was an authorized store for my "keyblades" for the Keyport Slide 2.0. I didn't have to pay a thing...and usually stores that have to give time/money away are the happiest. But they treated me like a paying customer. Since they were so nice, I decided to get another key made at the same time. Not an issue! Was very happy to help me. Parking lot is private and you have to pay at a box. There is street parking but metered I believe. This is on a hill with a slight slope so just FYI on that. Other then that...I wouldn't mind driving here from cerritos if I needed a bunch of keys made or for another keyport slide. If you are in the area, get some keys dup'ed here. But if you just need a single key made, you can always go to you local home depot or lowes and flag a person down to help you. read more

This place is awesome! I had called a locksmith prior to this company because google says San Pedro Lock & Key doesn't open until 9AM(which isn't true, they have 24/7 technicians if you leave a message). So I called another company that just so happen to be kinda sketchy. Anyway, that company had me waiting for 90 minutes, when they told me it would be a 25 minutes wait. Then I called San Pedro Lock & Key and he said it might take 15 minutes , but the technician was there in 3-4 minutes! Now that's great service! Thank you so much for being quick and actually caring about people who are in tough situations. Definitely will let friends and family know that if they are ever locked outside of their house , to directly call San Pedro Lock and Key! read more
