Exceptional service, 24/7. I had an emergency with a lock. Owner graciously walked me thru handling the issue myself so that everything was fixed immediately. I could not have asked for more. Almost 9 pm and the business answered and assisted with servicing the security needs of my home. Thank you for the professionalism. Very much appreciated.

I have had no problems in the past but today I had the man come out to my house to make me a new key for my car and he had to pull off the vent to get to the emergency light and he cracked it in two places and I was standing right there I heard it very loudly and he went on about how the crack was already there and just a bunch of bs...for me spending 300$ id expect a proper job I'm just like so what's up with the cracks at the end and he went on telling me to buy a new one after me showing him and proving I had pictures because I have sold the car I had pictures of the dash and everything

Absolute scam artist. They pose to be part of the BBB on their work vehicles but they are not. I paid 275 for a key that isnt fully functional. Its a family business and they are all crooks. If you want to throw money down the toilet, just ask them to cut you a key! I still have to take my car to the dealer and pay for another key.

I had called another local locksmith and was told that replacing the key to my Volvo could only be done by the dealer. Unfortunately, there's no local dealer. I decided to get a second opinion and called A1 and I'm so glad I did! They were able to replace my key the same day! This particular key for the year of my car is rare and wasn't used in very many models but they had the blank in stock! They got the code from my vin# and cut the key. I had several other questions about locks in my other vehicles and they took the time to answer every one without making me feel rushed or

This afternoon the deadbolt lock failed (it was old and worn out) and so I was locked out of my home, even though I had my key! I called A1 and though I was on the other side of the lake, Rick responded quickly and arrived pretty much when he said he would. He was personable and efficient, and the work was done well and for a reasonable cost. I am very happy with the experience and the transaction! Will definitely call again when I need to replace other locks.

Our new renter got licked out on her first day, called me at 7pm and I figured some locksmith would take 8 hours (with bad attitude) and charge me $300 to do a 10 minute job.
Instead, he was polite and drove from a Lakeport to Glenhaven in a half hour and did the whole job and more for a fraction of that price.
After he remedied the problem, he called me for my credit card info.
Wow! Someone honest and quick and trusting.
Our renter called with rave reviews, too! I was so pleasantly surprised.
Hope we don't need these services again, but would recommend them to anyone!!
Thanks

Came in to get an extra house key made for a new rental I had recently moved into with a friend. I saw on Yelp that they had a deal where is was $20 for $10 so I thought why not give it a shot - bought the coupon and went in to get the key copied. The store itself is pretty small, but organized with everything you could think of when it comes to alarms, locks, and keys. Since I had $20 to burn, I ended up getting a duplicate key, two mini stick-on flashlights for the keys (I live in a pretty dark area so it's helpful to have the flashlight on the key when fumbling to find the door lock), and

Clint came to ukiah the same day I called and did an excellent job re-keying the locks on my rental as my tenant had just moved out. Customer service was top notch and the work done was outstanding. Clint rekeyed 7 locks in less than an hour and gave me a very reasonable price. I would use these guys again and I highly recommend them.

Complete waste of time. He said he would order us a lock for my fiancé's car and install it and we came in when he told us to but they didn't have it ready. They took it apart and couldn't figure out how to put it back together. They told us to come back in on Monday which we did but they still weren't ready.
They said it would take two hours and that they would call us. After three and a half hours of nothing we called them, one was on a call and had no clue how the lock was. He said he'd call us right back and let us know.
After 2 more hours we called again, he repeated

Clint was so helpful and professional. He was able to go in a days notice to our home (rental) and change the locks after the tenant had left. He was very accommodating and worked with us on getting the locks rekeyed and duplicate keys made on the spot. We live 4 hours away from the house so having him take care of securing our property gave us peace of mind. You can count on these guys to get the job done.

This past weekend while up at a friend's vacation home in Clear Lake, I idiotically lost the keys to my truck (they probably fell into the lake, but that's a whole other story).
Long story short, I called A1 that night and Clint came out first thing in the morning. He was professional, friendly, and just awesome overall. He was able to (eventually) get into my truck, and made duplicate keys on the spot. This was great considering that their shop is about an hour drive from where I was. Even better, their prices seemed very reasonable.
Based on my experience, if you're in the area
