Tony's was always my "go to" local locksmith over the past 30 years. Recently, I encountered very good customer service and a reasonable quote upon calling. But when the locksmith showed up and quoted a breakdown of all services at a higher cost, he became impatient and irritated, acting like his time spent was more precious than sorting the discrepancy between what he was quoting us verses our quote on the phone. He indicated that in order for him to even show up would be more than the entire service and what we thought we were quoted had to be wrong. I was stuck as this had to happen that day! So after confirming our initial quote was accurate with customer service, we got exactly what we needed at the initial price quoted - but could have done without the drama. read more

They were amazing in helping me out of a tough situation! The locksmith was communicative with his timeline, arrived as planned, fixed my problem quickly and helped me with questions on other projects. Recommended for any lock issue. read more

The nicest young guy showed up from Tony's Locksmith today. I had a pretty messed up lock and Kieran kept working it until he got it perfect. Polite, professional and honest. Thanks Tony's ... another great asset to your amazing service in San Clemente. We are a 40+ year customer of Tony's and will never use anyone else. read more

Tony's is seriously the best locksmith around. And great prices! And you get greeted by the shop pups Tony & Charlie!! Stop on by and say hi even just to see those precious fur faces read more

We had Tony's rekey our house. All new locks that had different keys. Our experience was positive from start to finish. Kiernan was our locksmith. He was awesome! He sincerely wanted our job to work out well. There were some issues with our locks, but he worked through them and everything worked out great! He worked a couple of hours on 2 separate days to complete our work. The cost was so reasonable. I expected a fee twice what was charged. This business is great and would recommend and use them again read more

Many thanks to Jordan for helping me out of a literal jam after hours and quickly! You are a blessing!

They dropped everything to help us . On a Saturday, no less they fixed our front door lock that had fallen apart within 1 hour from our original call. Great company! Outstanding service! read more

Great service. They were able to open my wall safe. My safe was a lot of extra work. They provided great service with a fair price.

These guys are nothing short of awesome! I was trying to get some hard-to- produce key copies for a lockset on a boat built in Europe. I could not find a source for the blanks, even from "Hafele America". Eric at Tony's was able to match the blank from the many that they have in stock. They had to do a bit of additional machining to it, but the upshot is that the copies worked perfectly. My client was thrilled. They are super nice to work with too.

My husband and I just moved in from out of state yesterday. It was 6:30 am and we were both in the garage looking for something and the door to the house locked! No hide a key anywhere. We called four 24 hour locksmiths. No one called back. It was now almost 7am. We called our realtor. She suggested TONYS LOCKSMITH. By 7:30 Eric arrived! Within 2 minutes he let us in‼ Tony couldn't have been nicer or more efficient. He discounted a used door handle that he had on the truck. No bate n switch or any other shenaniganz, that most likely would've occurred if any of the other 24 hour locksmith had called us back. We received a call from one out of the four other locksmiths at 8:15! I couldn't recommend Tony's Locksmith enough read more

Very friendly and personable, reasonable price to rekey a mailbox and drill out the old one. Nice long-term business in San clemente.

So happy with the service! I called yesterday afternoon after our garage was broken into. Tony told me, they are happy to install but it will take more time if they sell me the door knob and lock. If I want it tomorrow- they tell me exactly what I need AND that I can buy it at ACE hardware. I was off to ACE as soon as I got off the phone and saw Tony the next morning. Awesome! I pretend to be pretty handy and can replace door handles without screws. I watched 6-7 YouTube videos and was baffled. Tony looked at it for 3 seconds and said it was a little different than normal. He replaced everything in 15 minutes. The cost was so reasonable I wanted to give a tip! read more

I'm not a regular reviewer. As a business owner for many years, I expect great service so even when given, I normally thank and pay the provider and move on. But Tony's service is so exemplary (especially this last time) that I felt I needed to say something :) Today's was the 3rd time I called on these guys over the last 6 years, and all services provided were top notch, fair and honest. Jordan was the locksmith who responded today. I expected that he would have to replace lock with a remote unlocking device that was installed on a gate by a fencing company that was always problematic and the original installer couldn't get it right on several try's. Jordan figured it out, realigned the original lock and has it working perfectly. Price was fair - he actually saved me the expense of a new lock - I can't speak highly enough of Jordan and Tony's Locksmith! Apologies for the long narrative, if I had more time to write I'd have made it shorter :) read more

This is the first time that I've written a Yelp review, but I was so pleased with this business that I felt that I needed to do this. I called this morning and the person who answered correctly diagnosed the problem with my door lock. At his suggestion, I removed the lock from the door, brought it to them and they replaced the broken part. This was my second visit to Tony's and, both times, I was very pleased with the quick service, expert advice, friendly people (and English Bulldog named Tony) working there and, what seemed to me to be reasonable costs. It has the feel of an old-time business, one that isn't trying to get as much money from you as they can, the kind of place that you want to return to, as I did today, and will again. read more

We have lived in San Clemente several years. From day one we were referred to Tony's for any keys or lock work. We have never once been disappointed by them. The staff has always been very professional, informative, and polite. The price was always fair to the work preformed. We recently purchased a safe/install. From start to finish the entire process went very smooth. The safe came in sooner than expected. The install was prompt. Kudos to Mike the Manager and Kevin for his knowledge. Kudos to Jordan and Angel for their very clean and prompt professional install. Gary V. read more

I had gotten a quote from another company for 2,000 before I called Tony's. Eric came out and provided the service that was needed for $150.00. I'm so glad I made the decision to call our local locksmith Tony's who you can trust, they're efficient, and very professional. Thank you Eric for making this experience a good one!! read more

Locked myself out of the house at 7am, the guy came in a timely manner, opened the door quickly because my dog was locked inside and gave me all the information I needed about the lock so that it doesn't happen again. Thank you!!!! 10/10 read more

I've always known Tony's Locksmith was the "go to" Locksmith in town but now I know the personnel is next level. My husband and I got locked out of our house. The battery in our keypad (pictured) died and we couldn't find the back up key. It was after hours, we were cold, sick, hungry (hangry)... A super frustrating time! And, Eric patiently took our calls and texts while we were frantically trying to trouble shoot. WOW!! You don't see customer service like that anymore!!!! Thank you ERIC! Because of your calm, persistent patience and help we were able to get through this irritation with way more presence of mind. Thanks Again!! read more

Best darn locksmith period! Right next to Valero Gas and behind Sonny's sits an old school locksmith house... when I say old school- they've been around forever, but more importantly they have old fashioned values and are genuinely good people... military vets who served the USA and now serve us at home. Just saved my butt today in a major way, as well as having a nice chat about life and society, restoring my faith in both. Just save your time and energy and call these guys out- Im a do it all guy and resist hiring anybody... but today was worth every penny and more; I saved a ton of money and expense by just calling right away. You should do the same. Thanks Tonys!!!!! You are my go to heroes! read more

We needed a digital lock installed. Eric Cuny was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.

Excellent service. Fast and great accurate key making. Not too bad on cost either. I took off the tumbler from my front door Baldwin lock because they could not come out to do a mobile repair for a few days. read more

My go-to locksmith! Never disappointed me for over 30 years of service! Have used for both my business and home to replace hardware or to simply re-key my locks. read more

I would highly recommend Tony's Locksmith. Went to their store ask about my lock replacement and re-keying and they recommended the right solution for me to make sure it was cost-effective and the right thing to do. The same afternoon, they came over and did the job so well. They were on time and also clearly explained what was done and provided options to consider for the long term. Never had such an easy experience with a locksmith. They are the best in San Clemente! read more

My son locked the bathroom door from the inside and I couldn't figure out how to unlock it. I called the shop, emailed them a picture of the lock and they talked me through how to do it. Such great service and very friendly! read more

Jordan from Tony's Lock came out to put in a new lock on my front door (and remove the old one) and did an awesome job. He was punctual, friendly & efficient. I particularly appreciated the time he took to make sure I understood how to use & maintain it. I appreciated that he made sure the lock fit perfectly & left the work area cleaner than it was before he got there. 10/10 would use Tony's Lock again! read more

Jordan provided quick, thoughtful and courteous service with respect to warranty replacement of my gate lock set.

Jordan Duffner came out almost immediately after putting a call into Tony's Locksmith. Was very patient with questions I had and walked me through how to keep my condos locks well maintained to deter future issues. Very kind demeanor and well informed, great value added to the company. read more

I have been a customer of Tony's Locksmith over the years for little incidentals, but today I needed an immediate lock replacement for my commercial business. Eric was my technician and arrived within the projected time period and was able to resolve my issues very quickly. The work was flawless and Eric was super professional. Thanks for the assistance and would recommend to others. read more

Really liked my initial meeting with these guys (Eric). We had a several location need for a commercial quote and they promptly sent out a tech and repaired one of our locations locks, did a site visit at the other locations and promised to provide a quote for the other locations within a few days. Several weeks later and multiple emails, texts and voicemail back and forths with continued apologies and commitment still no response and we had to move on. I would skip these guys for commercial needs. read more

San Clemente had an unexpected power outage that the Internet said would last until 4:30 PM. Unfortunately, we had been on a bicycle ride when the power outage started, and we were not able to use our garage keypad to get back into the house, so we needed someone who specialized in lockouts. We called Tony's, and they sent somebody right out the door the moment I hung up with them. I ended up having to call them back and cancel because the power came back on within minutes after I called. but I was very impressed with their friendly and prompt response. read more

Thank you Jordan for quick and professional job. Will absolutely use the company again

Contacted Tony's for a small home safe (AMSEC) I'd acquired but no combo. Rally answered the phone, listened to my situation and kindly directed me on what to try. After a couple of failed attempts over the phone. He had me removed the safe door, (didn't know you could) and walk into the shop. 24hrs. later at a reasonable price it had a new combo and I had a working safe. He made it easy. Great customer experience. Jon P. read more

They have always been very helpful and reliable. First they were used by our townhouse complex and then family members used them to rekey a home. All work was done very well, some with rather clever solutions. read more

Saw a Tony's Locksmith's van at a commercial building which they were re-keying some cabinet locks. When I called for an estimate, they were happy to explain the cost, time length of the work, and when the locksmith would arrive. They setup a 2-hour window and Eric arrived within the time slot. He efficiently worked on getting us new locks and keys made. There was even a lock that seemed damaged but Eric added some lubricant and it worked like new. Great tip from one of their locksmiths: if you're getting work done on your place (for example: construction), then get re-keying done afterwards since some people will just give their spare key to contractors while doing errands or working. read more
