San Mateo Lock Works

After conclusion and numerous attempts, it worked!!! Words cannot say how cool it was see a locksmith and hear that lock click. Now that's what I call customer service!
There is a reason the lock store has been around for decades. It's because do care!
Eric is awesome!!! Going above and beyond to assist me. I had since the key was stuck onto the interior the zipper lock on my bean bag chair cover to be unlocked. He searched his whole wall of keys attempting to find. To no avail, he chose to tweak one of the keys if he can get it to turn and fit to see.
Thank you Eric! You're the best!

I had to purchase door knobs I wanted to match some knobs. I searched other regional suppliers, the"big box" stores AND online, but could not find fitting knobs. I then moved to a few knobs from Schlage which were more affordable -- SM Lock Works where Eric immediately identified precisely what I wanted and a fit.

Best location in the city. Wife variety of options and can handle any request, even a change for a $20.

Used many times to buy and programs fobs for cars. Price is great and service is phenomenal.

My business was broken up into a Saturday morning. They responded within 4 hours to assess the damage. George was great! He made sure my business was stable for the day. He had been back out on Monday to complete the rest of the repairs. Jesse and Eric were very helpful on the conveyed to make and above the phone everything was done.
Thank you !!

The folks at San Mateo Lock Works are amazingly knowledgeable and experienced at what they're doing.
Thank you guys!
Michael came over to the house and that I explained the problem we had with lock and this key. The key would just turn and not participate to bolt.
Should you ever need a lock smith, try these folks. Should you ever drop in, you will love their people that are friendly.
Michael clarified the matter and fixed the problem.

Came here to find a replica of a secret. Would happen to be super quick but I could not decide. Eric was super funny and set up with me deciding between leopard print or Hello Kitty key.

I was today with contractors installing doors and locks that weren't piled together. I took of the locks and a heap of keys over to these guys last minute. I was not expecting anyone to be pleased about it--but these guys were great. Super convenient friendly, and fast. Severin (probably butchering his name) has been the type of guy that you wish to run into when you require help in a pinch. Great attitude and that he went over and beyond to assist me when he could've understandably it put off until Monday. He showed me how to use the SmartKey technician and mended the one I failed with. Thank you for the help today guys!

Service was great because I had been jumping off the train and asked when they could help me out. My 6 keys were left by them less than 1 minute and while they were shutting store.
Sort of seems bizarre in pricing. I wonder if they overcharged me for 2 keys. I did remember the guy when he rang me up, mentioning 8 - . 'd 4 keys on my series but just got 3 copies. I will return and see what they say! Have two more to make.
The guys that work there are great! Very amazing looking store.

Cost wise for the convenience and speed I think that it's reasonable. 2 locks and 3 keys for $45.
Went house and came back with another lock and again done in under 10mins.
I had been in and out of this shop in under 10minutes with a lock and a fresh set of keys.
My locks minutes TWICE!
The bonus - garage behind and plenty of street parking (if you cone at the right time).
They are nice, educated and quick!

Fantastic communication, clear and fast and prompt with what needs to be carried out. Call those guys, if you'd like a fantastic locksmith!

After trying to find a key and getting no fortune, I ran around to San Mateo Lock Works. In less than half an hour they had my door unlocked and that I could go about my day's rest ! I was thankful and grateful for speedy support, and their friendly, professional.
I inadvertently locked out myself and had a nightmare into the start of my day: put all my possessions in my office. No phone. No car keys. Nothing!

I have all of the resources to my own errands and bore my very own holes so I'm unlikely to need their setup solutions, but having done enough of this sort of work for myself, I have a feeling that a number of the one star reviews complaining about them"destroying" structurally unsound doorways are out of precisely the same kind of folks who complain when the plumber doesn't replace their shingles and tile after knocking holes inside to fix the pipes they're really licensed to. I have not ever found their staff anything but courteous and agreeable to deal with myself. If you require cleaning work, 14, you don't call a locksmith.
While they're definitely not the type of place you want to go bargain hunting, if you need some eccentric part for some eccentric commercial lock and don't want to wait around for UPS after purchasing from the maker, they likely have one in stock and know exactly where it's --today. That is much, much more than can be said of locksmiths.

Fast and accurate service. I moved to get duplicate house keys. I got 3 duplicate keys in 5 minutes.

I have a tendency to be spoiled, expecting people talk to me.
This is the place for you if you do not mind poor customer support.

Great guys, existed 91 years. . Super efficient and fast and we'll priced. Support your biz

Review for keysProceed TO LOWES FIRST! It is much cheaper, and you may find the same great customer support at Lowes by the Tanforan Mall. If it's any household/gate key visit Lowes. If it is a specialization key like ones that say"Don't Duplicate", then go to San Mateo Lock Works. Guys at San Mateo Locks Work will duplicate keys that are complicated, and know their stuff, however they over charge for the ones. A simple visit can cost you $88 and the same set would be $20-$30 at Lowes.
Lowes $1.97~ each crucial

This is the third of fourth time I have called on San Mateo Lock Works. My 20-year older Baldwin lock was loose and needed some love before it got worse. Everette fixed it about 1/2 hours and arrived, fast diagnosed, the problem. I feel like I have a brand new lock.

Michael was fast and professional. Had the lock replaced in a couple of minutes. Would definitely recommend.

Definitely recommend.
I'd called to spend time to enter and was told since mornings tend to be slower that it would be helpful to come in at the time. It was about 10am when I was in/out of there and went there. I would be surprised When it was 10 minutes. Quick and Simple.
Iwas happy with the service also and've been here earlier to buy guards.
Went in to receive my 2010 Prius FOB programmed ($60 for program and $60 for key cut) and has been helped by Gabriel. Had also spoken on the telephone prior to get pricing. Both gentlemen were knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly.
