Great experience here - every favorable comment that precedes mine is true. Great experience here, every one of the half dozen keys he made for me here worked (which has not always been my experience elsewhere), reasonable, quick, professional and personable/ Highly recommend. read more

I needed to make a copy of my car key. $30 cheaper as opposed to going to the dealership. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!

one of my favorite small business owners! he is extremely friendly and prices are great, compared to the dealer. He's like a nerdy locksmith who knows his stuff. he may do mobile service too, but i usually see him sitting at this location. he has rebuilt a car ignition lock, copied a simple house key, and copied a chipped key for us. so far so good! its better to use OEM, (which he usually has) so if you're not too tight for money and want something that'll last you longer, spend the extra money on OEM. Cash only read more

Skilled locksmith, speaks Vietnamese but I did not test his English. Rekeyed a deadbolt for about 6 bucks and made a bunch of copies for me for $1.50 each. He's also skilled with complicated car ignition systems so he gets my recommendation. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning to have an older Lexus key cut because the shell on my key cracked and the blade broke off. I purchased a replacement shell and blank blade from Amazon and asked a Lexus dealer if they could cut it for me. The Lexus dealer actually refused saying that they can only cut keys that you purchase from them and that it would cost almost $100. I politely declined and left the dealer. I then came to Tin and they were able to cut the key with no problems for a fraction of the cost. Never go to the dealer to get keys cut. I guess they don't care about that service since they are taking your money on mechanical repairs and the sales of cars. Good news for Tin then. read more

I broke my key in the passenger door awhile back and decided to just keep it in there since I knew the dealership would charge a lot. I definitely wasn't wrong as the dealership quoted me $450 to make a new key + to remove the broken key (they said they might have to charge more depending on the difficulty). So I decided to turn to Yelp and found this little nifty place. They ended up charging me only $50 for a spare key to be made AND only $10 to remove the old key (no extra costs if it would be more difficult than planned!). They finished the job within 20 minutes which includes the time which they were helping others make house keys. HIghly recommended! read more

Used to do "DO NOT DUPLICATE" key for years without questions. Got religious recently and will not do them anymore (maybe just catch him bad day) - guess won't come back anymore. For other Car key, he is decent but expensive! read more

Pretty good they programmed my spare key and even fixed my missing button for my 08 Camry , cost me the same as getting a new key made by them but ehh they were the cheapest I can find and they came to my house that was an extra 40$ I live a mile away from them but even with that it was still less than other places .. read more

Great service, Honest person.. Did not rip me off. Luckily there was a key made for my truck already. Easily could've easily said I have to make a new one and charge you tons. 1 key for my truck, 2 house keys for less than $10.00. read more

Jon was amazing! He came to our new house and rekeyed all the locks. He was quick, efficient, reasonably priced, neat, and set up everything perfectly. Thank you Jon, so glad we found a reliable locksmith for life. read more

I have caled them twice for new keys. One was for a lost key so they had to come here. The other was when I wanted my front door re-keyed. They are punctual to the minute, fast, reasonable, so competent -- and so sweet. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Near the Nguoi Viet Supermarket, Tin Locksmiths is my family's to-go place to make, replace, and duplicate keys. He is an honest person who charge reasonable prices and personally takes his time to ensure the quality of the keys. We had some keys that needed to be duplicated and the keys were ready in a few minutes. For the pricing & speedy service, my family will definitely continue to use his service. read more

These guys know what they're doing! Lost all my car key fobs and the dealer wanted to charge me $270 for one key. I happened to drive by here and stopped by to ask after other locksmiths wanted 250 and 3 hours time to make a new programmer key. The guys quoted me 80 bucks to program a new key and did it in 15 minutes! Will definitely be back and highly recommend to others. Thanks! read more

Brought my only Toyota key to make an extra before I ended losing the only key and having to spend more money. Saved me a lot of money and it was done in less than minutes. Thanks read more

These guys are fast and accurate. Cut two Lexus keys in minutes. I'll be coming back anytime needing keys cut! Thanks.

Really quick and honest service i had a car remote that ran out of battery and i went to the dealership they told me its worth $60 to replace. I go here and its only $10. Thank you! read more

Awesome service. Recently bought a dead lock for my front door, needed 8 keys to be made. After I got the keys made, only 2 out of the 8 would work. Brought it back and had them retouch it, same problem. Turns out, it wasn't their fault, but the brand new dead bolt i bought was bad. After i replaced the deadbolt, they made 8 new keys, and it worked flawlessly. Throughout the whole experience they never gave me a hard time or tried to brush me off like a nuisance. True professionals. Great work. read more

3 fine brothers. Great family business for 20+ out of the same kiosk. Save half or more on the price auto dealers would charge you for duplicating keys. Thanks Chris and Jon! read more

Have a scion xa, initially went to the Key Shop on Westminster and Edwards. The American there was nice, trying hard to copy my no-chip master key three times, oiling the trunk lock, twisting the Key hard to make it turn, wiggling it back and forth. The master key always easily unlocked and locked the trunk and all doors, but the Key Shop's 3 copies did not and that guy could only refer to another locksmith on Trask and Beach, who's never in. Got irritated, held off a few months, sought another locksmith. Dropped by Tins today. He didn't even need to look at the 3 bad duplicates, only the keys I wanted duplicated. Gave him the scion xa master key and a Honda civic. In less than three minutes, both were copied, work perfectly like the original, and $4 each. Examining Tins key versus the 3 Key Shop keys, Tins cut is crisp and angular - width and height of the ridges match the original. The other 3 by the other locksmith, rounded, just slightly off. Quotes a Scion tc remote fob for $140. Says no issues copying anything. read more

Honest business. Got my wallet stolen with my keys inside and the owner drove his work van to where I was to make a copy of my key. Took him about 10 minutes which is incredible! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a key replacement ! read more

Got my 2012 Camry key from Amazon cut and programmed here for $65. Works great. Quick and friendly service.

This place deserved 1000 stars for sure. I don't know if the guy came to fix our locks is Tin or not, but he is absolutely so professional, friendly and kind. We got locked out because our entry door's lock was broken. While on his way to our home, he called to assure us that he was coming, so don't worry. He came, replaced the lock, which is the one that very very hard to find (longer than 5 inches). He replaced them, and fix our keys also (to avoid using too many keys for both security door & entry door.) He did everything very very fast, pro, and convenient. He also was very funny and polite. we were absolutely very very pleased with the services he provided. We will definitely save his phone number & recommend him to everybody and anybody. read more

Very very happy with their business today. I went there with a word-of-mouth referral I received from a car dealer who sold me a used 2011 Toyota Sienna with only 1 set of keys. I obviously wanted to get a spare key made just in case. To give you a general idea, the gentleman at Tin Locksmiths made me an extra set of keys (both remote and transponder key cutting & programming) for FIVE times less than the cost that Toyota dealers quoted me. Moreover, he was so proficient in his job (with all the electronic tools required for programming) that he was done in less than 5 minutes! He seemed very honest and down-to-earth person. Overall, he just made me a customer for a lifetime! I will be more than happy to recommend them and send more customers to these guys in the future! Great job and Thank you :) read more

Showed up on time (it was a front door lock) He got the job done quickly and he was friendly too. Highly, Highly recommend read more

Thank you for the backup/emergency "laser-cut" key on my 2010 prius! Took less than 15min!!

It took about 15 minutes to cut two spare key fobs for my BMW. John did an excellent job and he didn't charge me through the nose like most other automotive locksmiths, not to mention the dealer, would have gladly done. I'll definitely return! read more

This guy is awesome I live in riverside worth of driving to get my gs300 copy key done very fast professional done good price friendly services outstanding business read more

John is really great! Needed to re-key our office front door. He came in a day after I called him and did a great job handling our request. Extra keys were made right here from his truck. Plus, he is super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend. read more

Lost my key to an 06 ford escape. They came to my house, cut and programmed a new key for 110. The dealership wanted me to tow my car and charge me around 200. Great service! Highly recommend! read more

Tin is a great person! Needed to copy my 08 camry key with the remote and his pricing was reasonable for me! Called other local locksmiths only to get crazy high numbers, but Tin makes the copy worth it's value! It only took about 10 minutes to make the copy like he told me it would take. Which is great for a busy person like me who has errands to do all day! Some places I've asked for a quote says it'll take about 45 minutes to an hour to get the copy of the key. I recommend this place. read more

Those guys are great, helped me a lot, most important thing is they don't over charge you!

This place was awesome. It's a little shack inside the plaza. The guy was very nice and he was able to program my switchblade flip key for my 2003 Nissan Maxima. I called on the him and he said it would cost $45. I think on the newer cars you have to have your car there so he can hook up his machine to program the transponder key. He walked to my car hooked up his handheld computer and in just 5 minutes it was done. He ended up only charging me $40 in the end. It was quick and much cheaper than the dealership. I will definitely be going back there soon! read more

This place is awesome. Came here to make a duplicate Toyota key. Price was like half what the dealer charges. Got an OEM key and also an aftermarket. They also had to fine tune it because the locks and keys are old. This place gets a lot of traffic. But they are really really fast with getting things done. Very organized. I will come back if I need to get any keys done. read more
