Service was very good. Arrived even a little early. Things cost a lot more in California now compared to other states. But I got job done that I needed for my sister read more

I've used Jeff for a ton of work over many years (actually over 10 years). Great guy who's very reliable. High quality work where you don't need to call him back for repeat issues. read more

We had the building rekeyed last year. Last week, we discovered the the front doors to our complex were not completely locking. He came in less than 24 hours and discovered that our door was leaking fluid, and that our striker was intalled in 1987. Replaced. It worked for a few hours, and then for some reason did not work again. I texted him, and he was back the next morning asap. Fixed. Jeff is one of the most responsive and accountable persons I have ever worked with. read more

Jeff is communicative promptly. There are so many service people that are not responsive and flaky. Jeff will show up the next day if he can and keep you updated as to when he will show up. He has an entire shop in his van where he makes keys in less than 10 seconds, and everything he could possibly need. He takes pride in his work and you can actually tell he is knowledgeable because he will take the time to discuss all parts ie closers, latch guards, emergency exits etc We have used him twice now and will continue. Thanks Jeff! By the way, he services our complex of many many doors and entrances! read more

He is so fabulous. I called him every time I have an issue! So kind and helpful and gives the best pricing! Whether I'm locked out or changing a lock or there's something wrong with my key he is there to help every time! Don't go to anyone else, Jeff is the best!! read more

Jeff is the best! Extremely trustworthy, knowledgeable, and fair. He is very clearly an expert in the field that he works in, and will be my go-to moving forward! read more

He arrived within minutes of my call. Very nice, clean, & polite. Knew just how to fix the broken latch on my front door, fast & efficient. On my list for any future repairs. So easy! He has been doing business in the Valley for over 40 years. I was very impressed. read more

There was a very last minute need to replace a few locks at our property. Looking for someone available and fair is definitely not the easiest find. After looking at the reviews I decided to take a chance on Jeff and I am so glad we did. Not only did he make the time, he was very fast and efficient. Highly recommended for all your lock / door needs. read more

First, let me say that I live in an apartment building in Sherman Oaks, California. As a result, I have had my door locks changed multiple times over the years. I've not had any complaints over the work done. However, my door has never "fully" closed easily. By this, I mean that the while the door would shut, it required pulling until you could feel a "click" to latch it. If you didn't concentrate on this, you would think your door was closed, when in actuality it could be pushed open. Recently, the locks in my building were again replaced and Jeff Bond, the owner of Van Nuys Lock & Key, showed up to do the job. He was on time, wore a mask, was courteous and did excellent work. He even made a 3rd key for me as a courtesy at my request. When Jeff left, I closed the door behind him and immediately noticed a clear, quick "click" to indicate that the door was shut completely. I know it sounds stupid, but I was ELATED by this. You have no idea how many times I previously ran back to my apartment to push on the door, just to make sure it was closed all the way. The quality and care of Jeff's work has taken that burden and worry away from me (I'm ever concerned about safety). Thank you, Jeff, for doing excellent work and making my home a little safer. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a locksmith! read more

Jeff was on time, efficient, and reasonable. I highly recommend him. He worked quickly and did a great job.

Arrived as promised. Rekeyed our locks and replaced one doorknob with all locks keyed alike . Fast and efficient

So glad I found Jeff on yelp. He's been my go to on 3 separate occasions now with fixing and changing locks. He is easy to schedule with and knows exactly how to get the job done and at a fair price. His son is working with him as well, so it's great to seem him pass along his knowledge. Highly recommend! read more

Jeff is the BEST! He's reliable, on time always, trustworthy, and efficient! I've used him for years and wouldn't use anyone else! I refer him to all of my family and friends and am so grateful I know him!!! He's also reasonably priced compared to every other locksmith! read more

Jeff and his son Brandon are fantastic! They're not the cheapest -- but you get what you pay for, and they do great work -- fast and to accommodate your schedule. They're also cool about giving discounts to loyal customers. Really nice guys, too! read more

Always available when you need him, professional and reliable, provides excellent service all the time

AT LAST! a super craftsman in the Valley! Jeff knew exactly how to repiar my security gates. He not only replaced the cheap-o door knobs I had but added a wonderful quiet closing hinge so that my gates are sure to close. He also fixed my electronic gates that were on the blink. A high rise apartment building went in next door to my home and the crew damaged my walls and gates...He had to adjust a metal gate that had been bent . Now everything works smoothly. THANK YOU Van Nuys Lock and Key! read more

I've used Van Nuys Lock & Key several times! Jeff Bond, the owner, is awesome! He's prompt, honest, friendly, fair and very experienced! I never worry about him rekeying my condo! He's a super nice and trustworthy guy. My family, as well as referred friends think he's great, as well. Please don't hesitate to call him if you're ever in need of a locksmith! I recommend him 100%! read more

Imagine you had had your safe for years which you couldn't open, you didn't know what was in it, because even though you have the combination,the handle was broken. Now imagine you called Jeff at Van Nuys. That's what I did. He came out and opened the safe. Too bad there was nothing inside. Glad for the good service. read more

I ran into Jeff one day actually doing some work for one our Westside neighbors and asked some questions about electronic keyless residential entry lock system I had been looking at. He was very helpful on a follow up call and ran through some options of equipment and installation on two doors. I pulled the trigger on the installs and Jeff was a total pro with a good attitude and a fair price and stayed to help make sure wifi and all the bells and whistles were working. I know he'll be there for any assistance. Highly recommend when you want a down to earth locksmith who knows his craft and who can take care of business and not make you feel like you are standing at the ATM every second he's there. read more

I thought I was going to have a really bad day when I closed my apartment's door and realized I had left my keys inside. I panicked! Then I did what most people do... let's Yelp it and find someone who can help me. I read the reviews on this business ​and really liked them. I decided to give it a try. I was amazed at the quick response I received from Jeff. He was on time, polite, friendly, and professional. His prices were very reasonable. I was completely satisfied with Jeff's work. I highly recommend it. Now, STOP reading this review, and START calling him. You'll be glad you did! read more

Jeff is AMAZING! Prompt, reliable, extremely knowledgeable in his many areas of security expertise. He has also a lovely, warm energy -- someone I would absolutely trust with the security of my home and family. I am so grateful to him for all of his help! And couldn't recommend him more highly! read more

We've hired Jeff Bond of Van Nuys Lock and Key twice, and we recommend him for any locksmithing job you have. The first time the lock on our front door suddenly just came apart, and it's a mortise lock and more complex that a normal lock. Jeff was at our house within an hour and got our home secured in no time. Today I asked Jeff to re-key all the locks in our house and gates because we'd had a lot of work done on the house and the contractors had keys. Out of an abundance of caution I wanted all our locks re-keyed for security. I contacted Jeff and he was just leaving a job not far from our house, so he stopped by on his way home and took care of everything. Excellent work, fair prices, and a pleasant and friendly demeanor. What more could you ask for? Top flight work all the way. Thank you Jeff! read more

We just had Jeff from van nuys lock and key fix our front door cylenders and add a security plate, couldn't be happier with the great service ,price and speed! any one in san fernando valley area needs keys cut or locks serviced, look no further. will be really hard to find someone to beat his service and prices. read more

Jeff is awesome. Great service and fast response. Friendly and must use service. Definitely recommended. read more

I have not used Jeff's service, however, he had just finished working on my neighbor's house when my dog had got loose and I was trying to find him. He heard me yelling my dog's name and asked if he could help. He and the other man with him in the van took the time to drive around my neighborhood to help me. They even went to the next neighborhood over to see if they could find my dog there. Anyone who has that kind of community concern is definitely someone I would go to and trust their service. Long story short my neighbors found my dog and returned him to us. My husband, daughter and I are just so grateful to everyone who helped, especially those who didn't have to, like Jeff. read more

Jeff was amazing. Stayed late and got our home super secure. And figured out how to install a deadbolt in a gate that didn't appear lockable at first. A true honest and experienced expert. I would definitely recommend. read more

After a terrible experience with another locksmith Jeff was excellent. He was installed our keyless entry and it was the easiest experience I've had in a while. It was much needed. He even let us know our door needed to be shaved due to the recent weather we've been having causing the door to expand and shrink. We had no idea why the door was now a pain to close and assumed the door needed to be replaced. He explained how to use the keyless entry and made the payment process very easy. Thank you Jeff! read more

ATTENTION FELLOW YELPERS!! By the time you get to this posting, it's likely you will have seen many locksmiths with 5-star ratings. You may have already spoken with a few and booked an appointment. That's what I did. The first call I made, the guy was with a customer and anxious to get off the phone. I offered to have him call me back but he said "no need" then got right back into "too busy to speak on the phone" mode again. For the next call, the guy quoted me a slightly better price than Mister "Too Busy to Talk" and while he didn't rush through the call, he was straight up business with no pleasantries or warmth to his voice, yet I did book him. However, after I few hours, his lack of friendliness got to me and I called back and cancelled. You YELPERS know what I'm talking about. Not a bad feeling as much as just not a good warm vibe - and yes, I realize I'm just looking for an honest, competent locksmith, not a lifetime friendship. However... When I called Van Nuys Lock & Key, the voice and demeanor on the other end was like a friend or relative with whom I have a good rapport. Sometimes when speaking with a service provider for the first time, you can get a sense that they understand exactly what you're looking for and they converse in a clear, logical and friendly manner. That's what I immediately got from Jeff. I am a bit of a cynic by nature, particularly when it comes to contracting service people into my home, however, every once in awhile, someone comes along who breaks the conventional mold of what you expect, versus what they deliver. Not unlike Liam Neeson, Jeff Bond has a particular set of skills that surpasses those of conventional ordinary mere mortal locksmiths. If there's anything less than a five-star Yelp review for Jeff, I couldn't find it. Now I know why. I'd give him 10 stars if it were an option. I called on him to re-key all of my locks. While he was here, I asked for a bid to do two others that I hadn't planned on changing. Clearly, he decided on the spot to give me a great price which was insanely more than fair. I don't know if it was because of the other six locks he was already doing or because that's just how he rolls. He's very smart and very funny and at the end of the day between all of the re-keyed locks and new keys, he delivered way more than I expected or asked for and charged much less than he could have. He even took the time to explain and demonstrate how a lock works when a key is inserted and turned. He really knows his trade. He's had a shop in a few locations in Van Nuys but now he's strictly mobile. Five minutes after meeting him, it felt like I'd known him since high school. Everything I've read here from the other Yelpers is not exaggerated. Seriously people!! Jeff is the man!! Thanks for a great job Jeff - and I don't think I properly thanked you for those extra keys - THANKS!! You Sir, are the best! And yes, as others have stated here, I am a customer for life. read more

I chose Van Nuys Lock & Key based on the Yelp reviews and I was very pleased. Jeff was easy to get hold of, arrived on time and fixed all of my house locks in an hour. He was helpful without trying to oversell or scare me into buying something i didn't need. I highly recommend Jeff and Van Nuys Lock & Key. I gave him some website advice so hopefully that will improve soon. read more

Jeff from Van Nuys Lock & Key is amazing!! Always available, very reliable, great person and does amazing work! Would recommend to anyone that needs a professional locksmith! read more

We are an HOA board and have used Van Nuys Lock & Key several times for our building. Jeff is absolutely the best! His response time is NOW. It's a father-son team and they are always on time, communication is clear and they take the time to address all issues. Their work ethos is high. I would highly recommend them over anyone else. read more

The very best possible. Literally he came within 10 minutes of us requesting his emergency services to change the locks on 3 different doors. The 3rd door request change was done when he was on the premises, and he didn't add additional money on the quote he gave us. Basically IN-N-OUT in 30 minutes, money well spent! I don't see how it can get any better than this! read more

Jeff is the best. Completely reliable. On time. Communicates perfectly. And the best is the work he does. It's the most reliable you can find. It might be cheaper to find a random handyman, but you'll end up paying more in the long run. Get it done right and fast with Van Nuys Lock and Key. read more

Great service. Highly recommend. Responded promptly to my call, did an estimate, made suggestions without trying to upsell and gave me a quote. We agreed on a install date within a day or two so he could order parts. We ended up having to go out of town unexpectedly and he was totally flexible and friendly about it. His van is equipped with everything he needs and took care of my 5 doors including some new deadbolts within a couple hours. By his efficiency and approach you can tell Jeff has decades of experience. Friendly to boot. read more

Jeff was referred to me by someone and I was impressed!!! His smile and friendly attitude is contagious. Jeff's prices were fair and I would definitely refer him to my friends and family. Thanks Van Nuys Lock & Key read more

Just had our New Home and Mailbox Re-Keyed by Jeff. Jeff rekeyed the house and our mailbox very quickly. He's very professional. Will definitely be referring him to our family and friends. Strongly recommended! Will be in touch with you again! Thanks Jeff! read more

Jeff is great. He returned our call promptly and came earlier at our request. We have one door that is not on our master key, so we got locked out of the laundry room. Jeff picked the old lock, and replaced it with a matching lock for our master key. The jeans are in the drier now! read more

Forgot my key back in the office. Called Van Nuys Lock after searching for a locksmith on Yelp. Thank you Yelp. Jeff showed up quickly and got the job done. Efficient and fairly priced. What more can you ask for. Plus Jeff the owner is a good guy. Highly recommend. read more

Our home was recently burglarized and we wanted to add extra deadbolts to our front door. We used Yelp and came across Van Nuys Lock and Key and saw a photo of Jeff who had a trusting face. When you've been victimized like we have, you want to use a locksmith whom you feel you can trust and we were not disappointed! :-) Jeff was prompt, courteous, super-friendly and reasonably priced!! He reassured us that our door was very solid since he's drilled into many a doors being in business for over 30 years serving the San Fernando Valley. Thanks Jeff for making us feel a little more secure!! You now have a customer for life!! :-) read more

Highly recommend! Jeff did a wonderful job for a resonable price. Absolute pleasure to work with him. Will use his service from here on out!
