I needed two Ford Ingnition/door keys cut and programed. With my last working key and remote available, the required services were expertly met. I am very impressed by this experience. R. Taylor January 5, 2026. read more

Drove all the way from natomas to get couple of keys made. Went home and the keys did not work! I expected more from a locksmith that has been in business for over 40 years. I stoped by Bode & Bode locksmith on 21st in downtown and got it done right the first time. read more

The most trustworthy locksmith you'll ever find they do the job right and they do it right the first time

Several emails and calls to get Eric to schedule a time to come out and service my safe resulted in him completely ghosting me after I agreed to pay $225. I ended up going with Bode and Bode, who were professional and didn't waste time. read more

As a former employee of 30+ years of working at this company, I can tell you is they are the best company to use and work for they treat you right. They are fair on prices and always make sure that they look out for the customer and their employees. It was a blessing to be with that company, because I know it was a company that is honest and fair and the owner likes to fish it was the biggest mistake I've ever made to leave that company. Eric and his staff are the most knowledgeable and polite people you'll ever meet if you don't use them then you're not getting your money worth and you'll probably be taking advantage of. From other companies. Don't waste your time calling other people call Swanson first and know that you'll get the most trusted, and best locksmith in all of Sacramento area and beyond. And congrats to your new shop Eric you deserve it. fish on lol read more

Great guys, brought in three touch pad dead bolts, the rekeyed them and made 3 keys with same cut. Quick, and professional

A while back, I went to Home Depot to get copies of keys made for my mailbox, house, car, etc., but they told me I had to go to a Honda Dealership to get a copy of my car key. Today I went to Future Honda and they couldn't just help me over the counter, because their equipment could not read the chip for my 2004 Honda Accord and they said I've have to see one of their mechanic technicians and the cost would be a minimum of $100. I didn't want to wait to see a tech, so they told me to try a locksmith. I went online and didn't want to use a mobile locksmith and saw that Swanson & Sons has been in business for 43 years with great ratings, so I called them, and I went on down. Not only is the staff amazing, they also have a little lock and safe museum, which fascinated my impatient Public Historian daughter while I was getting my key made. Their equipment was able to read the chip in my key, unlike the Honda dealership. These people were awesome and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of their services. The only downside is that they're only open 8 AM - 5 PM Monday through Friday, which is not good for most working folks. I just happened to have the day off otherwise I would have missed out on the WONDERFUL service, atmosphere, kindness, professionalism, and more. They are so excellent that if indeed, I ever needed a locksmith or another key made for my Honda, I will take a day off JUST to go to them! read more

I fount this place thanks to yelp, and have gone back whenever one of my sub contractors tell me they can't find a specific key, they have it ! And if you are into antique locks and safes they have a very cool collection. Great place fantastic owner, I highly recommend Swansons read more

Eric Swanson was great! Came out and helped me with my lock issue and was extremely nice and answered all of my questions on top of it. Also is clearly very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend. read more

Eric called me and saved the day on our code change needs for our safe! Very kind, professional and didn't even charge me for the over the phone troubleshoot! Will be using them for every safe need in the area at all our properties carrying forward. read more

Very pleased with service today. Needed to re-key a rental property and locksmith showed up on time and re-keyed all my locks. Friendly, efficient service. Will use the again! read more

I gotta tell you about the experience I had today with Swanson and sons lock and safe I had an emergency and they were the only one who picked up in a timely fashion gave me incredible help and service I mean they were so fast it had to be about 30 minutes after I called them to they came out and helped me get my keys out of my car in the rain I can't think of them enough thank you Swanson this sounds like it safe I'll be back to do business with you again read more

Needed a spare house key. Went inside, handed over key and was done in less than five minutes. Tested key and works great.

After contacting multiple locksmiths, Swanson was the only competent live and local person that understood me and told me to come on down, Thank you for the great service I will always recommend your shop. read more

Daniel at Swanson and Sons was awesome. My dad has dementia, and has started to wander in the middle of the night. I didn't know what kind of solution I wanted, and Daniel patiently researched all the options for what I thought I wanted. In the end I went with a simple solution, and Daniel installed double deadbolts on four doors, and locks on three sliding doors. He did a great job and I can sleep at night again! read more

This is the great company. Dan and Eric both came by to install my mag lock on my laundromat. They got it up and running and help me troubleshoot my IT issue which was over and beyond the scope of their service. Dan has been absolutely fantastic, answered all my calls and questions, and when he didn't know the answer he reached out to the manufacturer on my behalf and got it done.I wouldn't second-guess picking Swanson to do your locks. They are extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with where theyAccommodated my schedule very well. Hire Swanson and Dan should get a great bonus or pay increase. read more

Easy parking and quick service. A little more expensive then the box office store but they'll get the job done for making keys

Our 5 yr old son decided it was a good idea to enter all sorts of codes to open the safe himself. We got locked out of our safe. I called the manufacturer and that was an ordeal in of itself. I called Swanson & Sons Lock and Safe and Eric helped me. I texted him pictures and video and he asks, "Did you try changing the battery?" Bingo. That was the issue. Thanks, Eric! You saved us $$$ and stress. read more

It doesn't surprise me that I am the first to review this small business. This shop is small, but mighty. I had to have the tumbler from my car's ignition looked at after the key wouldn't turn. Instead of replacing the all the ignition components and getting new laser-cut transponder keys made, I called these guys up. Eileen didn't shy away from the technical nature of the key or the tumbler. She said "Bring it on by, and we'll getcha fixed up!" This was relieving to hear after several other area locksmiths were tooooo busy to help or not familiar with the laser cut keys. The shop is in an iffy part of Del Paso Blvd next to a Pawn Shop, but it was cozy inside. There is a museum of safes and locks in one corner to look over while you wait. It reminded me of the hardware stores I have seen with all the obscure stuff that lines the walls. The staff was super friendly and VERY knowledgeable. Eileen had my key fixed and the cost was super low compared to the car parts!! read more

This is the second time we have used Swanson & Sons and they give great service! I had an issue that needed immediate attention and Eric walked me through right away! The only mistake I made is that I didn't call sooner! My day would have gone better! They are very professional and they will have our business for life. read more

Unbelievably good service. Scheduled a rekey for several doors, busy during the holidays so they conveniently checked I was still available during my appointment window a few minutes before. Did every rekey perfectly, replaced a damaged deadbolt on a difficult door I wasn't even thinking could be replaced and corrected two locks that had been installed incorrectly by someone else. Great professional service and knew exactly how to help. Very fair price. Thank you read more

Excellent Service at a great price. I needed to replace the key for my 2005 Honda Accord. The owner ordered a new shell, placed the old electronics in the new shell, and cut the new key. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this company. I spoke with Eric Swanson, the owner, who helped me open my home safe and did not charge me anything. Two other companies wanted to come to my home and "fix" the safe for a mere $225.00 or $175.00. It is rare that you find a company as competent and honest as Swanson and Sons. I wouldn't use anyone else. read more

I just went here to see if I could copy a difficult key.The guy behind the counter was really short and just rude.I already under stood that the key was not an easy key to copy but his response could not have been any ruder as he told me he couldn't copy it and not to ask him where we could get a copy read more

The Swanson team took care of our every need and then some. We needed safes they had them , we needed master keys they did it, we needed advice they gave it. Working with Eric and Daniel made us feel like we were protected and taken care of. We found a company we can count on for years to come. Swanson and Lock had us at Hello! Eco Thrift Inc read more

Decades ago I bought a house, the locks were changed, 3 months later a group of adult supervised teens broke in. In desperation, I went to this shop in Del Paso Heights. One of the best businesses I have ever worked with. They discussed strengthening the door frame with a large metal plate, and longer locks. I found the door knobs with extra long lock throws I wanted and had them come back t rekey. They delivered the fireproof house safe (used comercial grade with new locking system. 5 years ago someone spent 10 minutes (Sherrif Dept Estimate) hacking at my door and frame trying to get in. Niet I did have to replace the door and frame. The sheriff's dept spent 15 min trying to get me back into my house. Thanks for the advice from these guys, my home is secure. Pssst and they are cheaper than any of the 1800 places too. read more

I locked my keys in my car when I got gas. They were quick and cheapest place I called. The locksmith that opened my door was nice & personable. read more

This has always been my go to place for any key copying or programming. I've tried other folks, but this place hands down is the best. Folks are nice and very informative. We're others worry about using only the blank keys they have, because it'll mess up they're machine. Swanson's take on any job without fail. Never understood why if you're a good locksmith you shouldn't break your machine from making a key copy. Doh!!! Anyway, keep these folks in business family owned for years... read more

Fantastic service. They have the biggest selection of keys and locks in the area. Unlike Home Depot or WalMart that use a random machine with only a few major key blanks to make a copy of your unusual cabinet key, they look like they've got thousands. Prices are the same as the big box stores. Customer service was fast, and anything related to locks appear like this place could do it. I will be back again in the future. Got a referral from a buddy to use this place and was definitely happy with what I found. read more

This place is great. Had a problem with the lock on my front door not staying locked. It would lock, but came open if you jiggled the doorknob even slightly. Called Swanson and Sons, they dispatched a locksmith, replaced a worn out part and had everything fixed in less than an hour! Highly recommended. read more
