I took my apartment key fob to Walmart, ACE, Loews, Home Depot, and then 7 different small-business locksmiths to try to get a copy made. None of them were able to make copies. Finally, I decided to mail my fob to SumoKey as a final hail-mary. SumoKey not only copied the key, but they overnight shipped it back to me by the next day. They stayed in communication with me the whole time, and it was a BINGO. Great work! read more

I got Jay's contact from a friend and sent him a quick text to confirm he could copy my fobs. We met up the next day, and the whole process was super easy--he took the fobs, and 10 minutes later, he was done. Quick, simple, affordable, and no issues with the copies. Highly recommend! read more

Jay's communication is nothing short of exceptional. I originally had a request in for Thursday but he had availability earlier in the week. Gave him my key fob, 20 minutes later he came back with my copies. I checked at my apartment and it didn't function. Sent jay another text and he had it solved within 30 minutes. I would recommend this service to anyone looking to get key copies. read more

I found this business sort of accidentally while googling RFID/NFC Arduino shields (my nerdy hobby), and decided to browse their website since they were located near me. I was glad that the site provided multiple modern options for communication (text, email, agent chat) that I strongly favor over the antiquated phone call. I reached out via text on a Saturday afternoon with a question about duplicating a key fob, and received a response from Jay within 20 minutes. I was quickly able to book a same day appointment through a Calendly link he sent via text. The instructions and location included in the meeting confirmation were clear and concise, and I appreciated the professionalism in the details. The appointment was quick and easy, and the duplicate fob worked perfectly. Jay flawlessly delivered a product that most locksmiths won't even attempt because the complexity of the technology goes way beyond traditional mortise/deadbolt/backset hardware knowledge. A big thanks to Jay for helping me, and I'm nerding out hoping I can one day rise to his level of expertise. read more

The gentleman came over exactly at the time we agreed on. Looked very professional and not like someone who's I'm gonna see on my security cameras later stealing outta my apartment. That being said he waited patiently for me to use the new fob on my secured entrance, elevator, and door to my apartment which worked perfectly no hiccups. Thanks again read more

Sumokey is very professional, communicative, and respectful to his clients. I was also skeptical of the key fob not working once received, as I would need to drive back to Irvine to get the key adjusted if there were any faulty errors, but surprisingly, I was wrong. The key fob worked perfectly in every access door to my complex. I ordered 2 and he also provided a lower rate for them due to the quantity. I'm grateful he was able to connect with me and made the process seamless. I dropped the key off and picked it up a couple hours later. He also takes Venmo and online payments which was great, as it can be a headache to stop by an ATM, etc. Thank you Sumokey for your assistance. I will recommend your services to others in the near future and if I ever move again :) read more

I was a little skeptical, but J does an awesome job. He meets you and grabs the fob to be duplicated and has it back and ready to go in 20 minutes. Super easy, great service. I highly recommend Sumokey. read more

I was hesitant at first because I truly couldn't believe someone else besides my apartment management could copy my fobs but the reviews so were so great that I had to give it a try! Jay is super responsive & flexible with scheduling an appointment within a week. It took him only 15-20 minutes to give my 2 copies of my fob and they all work. My fobs have dual frequency (gives you access to both common amenities & also my own apartment) so I was worried that it wouldn't be able to be copied but Jay did! I even went to Lowe's a while ago to try to get the fob copied and it didn't work there. Overall, I would highly recommend to all friends/family. Having these extra set of fobs is SO convenient and I wish I had found out about Jay earlier. 10 out of freaking 10. read more

Quick response. Quick turnaround. No hassle. Professional. Affordable. Now my residents and I can all access the community's amenities.

I ordered a key fob on the website. The delivery was timely and the key fob worked. Thank you! read more

Jay is awseome. Needed to copy my apartment key here a while ago and was happy to find someone local who was willing to do it. He was accomodating and happy to provide such great service. Will definitely come back when I need more keys! read more

After many unsuccessful attempts this is the only place that could successfully duplicate my high frequency fob. Thank you so much . You guys came thru for me and appreciate it. read more

You're a true magician, I finally found someone to make me a working fab.. you saved me $60

Jay has been nothing but helpful and responsive for my orders and key copies. I have ordered from Sumokey numerous times and it has been nothing but a smooth transaction. I highly recommend their service to anyone. read more

Jay is super responsive and handles all my key fobs. Perfect for airbnb and rental properties. Some key copiers have issues copying dual frequency fobs but we had no issues! Way cheaper than getting key fob replacements from the hoa and faster too. :D Win win service. read more

Gotta say.... kinda low key skeptical at first... but f*ck it! This service is absolutely worth every penny spent. Now my wife and I don't have to share a single key fob. We live in Irvine and our building charges us an arm & a leg... well screw them! $40 bucks later (we bought two) and we're good to go. Thank you for creating this service. Seriously. Thank you. read more

sumokey - New key fob! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Irvine, California

Jay was super responsive and the whole process took less than 15 minutes. The fob copies worked perfectly! Highly recommend Jay's services to those who need extra copies of their fobs. read more

Service was fine even though I was taking to him directly I still had to set an appointment through the website. The website says their is an DTLA meeting location, there isn't, minus one star. Met in Irvine about a hour and a half from my house. Only to watch his computer repeatedly crash and be told he couldn't make the key, minus one star. As a courtesy he gave me a rfid key for free but that's not what I came for. Jay was apologetic and said he'd come out to LA and redo the key at half price in a week. Long story short he never completed the service and refused to come to LA minus two stars. read more

See all

Super great service and fast response from the owner. I thought that it would be impossible to duplicate the fob but the owner made it happened! I ordered a copy through the website and sent a text message to the phone number to check if it's legit. The owner texted me back within hours and give me more information about the key. Thank you for the great service! read more

Made keys for my company. Awesome service! 100% recommended! Sumokey copy pretty all kinds of keys, and that's their advantage! Real pros! read more

Great service, professional, very quick, and walked me through the whole process No hassle. Highly recommend read more

Worth the drive and the time! I live in DTLA, and an extra spare key fob makes life so much easier. Jay was very informative, quick to respond to messages, and was very punctual. My key fob was especially hard to decode (dual-frequency), but Jay was able to decode and encode the right RFID onto new key fobs for me. We had some complications with the first try, but Jay followed-up in a timely manner and we got the fobs to work after the second time. Life is not always perfect, and I appreciate Jay for his patients and resilience. Thanks a Million Jay!!! read more

Wow. I am seriously impressed with their service. Had to get a key fob copy made in 2020, the process took about 10 minutes. I lost the copy so I reached out about a week ago and my information was saved which made the process even faster. Shipping was so fast. Will be ordering again and recommending to everyone I know. read more

Perfect! Done in minutes and I now everyone has their own key fob. No more getting locked out of the fitness center! No more being stuck outside the parking structure gate!! No more getting stuck outside the pool. Wish I went to Sumokey earlier. Will definitely use their services again in the future! read more

I got a quick response when I inquired about using this service. Meeting went seamlessly and it was fast! Thanks a ton! I'll be back

Jay went above and beyond with excellent customer service. I originally sent in my serial number to have a duplicate made but it was not a valid number. Jay texted me right away to let me know and worked with me to get my fob to him and returned super fast since it was the only one I had. He communicated the status of my order and was very efficient. This is the best personalized, long distance customer service I have received in a while and I am so grateful for his service and reliability. I would not hesitate to use Sumokey again. Thank you! read more

Jay was willing to meet me in Los Angeles to get my keyfob duplicated. Very professional and responsive over text. The whole thing only took 10 minutes. My building uses a keyfob for building entry, garage and elevator access. Everything works perfectly! read more

Super quick to respond to my request. We were able to arrange my key fob duplication for the next day. Process was quick and easy. Thanks!

I moved into an apartment complex that uses fob keys to enter the building, but they only provide two keys per unit so I needed an extra. I'm not the most up-to-date person when it comes to technology, so I had no idea where to go to get this made. I came to Yelp hoping I might find something and here it was! I chose to go with sumokey because of the high reviews and was very pleased overall. I requested a quote and was able to get an appointment the same day which was great. We met in the Quail Hill Shopping Center and he was prompt and friendly. Unfortunately, my fob key was WEIRD and he wasn't able to get a scan of it. I'm giving sumokey five stars despite not being able to get a copy made because it was a great experience. He was on time, personable, tried very hard to get it to work, and showed me what was going on with the process. He apologized for not being able to scan the key (I felt bad for his wasted time, too!) and even suggested alternative methods. I know it wasn't his fault because I've been to a few places since then and everyone has had a problem with this key.. ANYWAY.. If you have a normal fob key and need it copied, I highly recommend giving sumokey a try! read more

Jay is great! The service always fast, accurate, I been using their service for couple years now, and never disappointed. Pleasure to do business with. Thank you! read more

Super cool guy! Had my fob made in a short time. Works perfectly. Well worth the $49 for my HF fob. It actually works better than he said it would. I highly recommend read more

Jay was very prompt in responding to my email and was very clear about the services offered. Met me at my preferred location while texting me details on his ETA - great communication. Also he demonstrated that the two cloned fobs I ordered were reading exactly the same as my issued one. Great service, would use again! read more

Sumokey is the only company in Orange County that provides in person service for duplicating key fobs. I met Jay in Irvine. He is very nice and knowledgeable. He created two copies of my key fob in 5 minutes. The key fob copies work perfect. I highly recommend Sumokey. read more

Very helpful and pretty quick. I mailed my fob to be duplicated, and received my original and copies two weeks later. The entire turnover time was due to shipping; as soon as the fob was received, it was replicated and sent right back. You can probably get yours faster by expediting shipping. All my questions were answered quickly. My fobs work perfectly. read more

Great service and key fob works perfectly. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.

Texted Jay through the number on the website, prompt response and he even offered to meet me the same day. Very nice and professional guy, I'd highly recommend this service to anyone who needs it. Pricing is pretty clear on the website as well, and sumokey even offers a mail in service if you're unable to meet in person. Once I got my keys, Jay told me that he would keep my information and be able to mail me one if I ever needed to buy another. Super awesome, thanks Jay! read more
