I'm Ben Pearson, owner and operator of GreenKeys Locksmith. I've lived in the Bay Area since 1988 and I love it here. I enjoy a good handshake, can ride a unicycle (but usually settle for my motorcycle), am sorry Seinfeld is off the air, and love to play ice hockey. I invented the TopLoc www.
I can get you back into the comfort & safety of your own home or car 7 days a week, 365 days a year, 11:15AM - 11:15PM. I also specialize in Realtor locksmith services for new homes or owners, foreclosures, tenant improvement, & more. Re-Keying is a process in which GreenKeys changes a lock so that a different key may operate it.
I can't believe I'm giving out a five star review but Ben definitely deserves it. Although he was busy and couldn't help me out he spent 10 minutes on the phone with me. Besides giving me free help, Ben told me to send him pictures of the problem so he could walk me through my problem. Service this good deserves deserves five stars.

Ben to the rescue! He is quick, reliable, knowledgeable, and changed my lock to a much more secure one, knowing I fear break-ins. I wanted a funny key with a unique shape, but instead of letting me purchase and have to call him out again at a later date, he warned me that it would wear quickly and had me choose from different options. You're the best Ben!

I was leaving my home on Christmas Day with my son and wife when we accidentally locked ourselves out of our home. I thought we were doomed as no locksmiths were open except one. I called and within 15 minutes they showed up and after 30-40 minutes I was back inside my home. I highly recommend this company as they provide excellent service and are very professional and friendly.

Had another great experience with Ben from GreenKeys today. I called Ben to ask him about a few locks that were quite old and were having some significant problems. I sent him some photos of the locks and he knew exactly what type of locks they were and was very familiar with their operation. I made an appointment with him for today and out he came. He arrived within the window of time he promised and got right to work. Instead of trying to upsell to another lock, he quickly serviced the locks (2 of them in bad operational shape and checked a third lock) and got them working like new. Ben

I called Ben to ask about replacing 4 of my locks. He called me back same day I texted him. He gave me good advice on where to buy my locks, rekeying and answered all my questions about secure doors, locks etc.
His quote to replace locks also seemed reasonable. I loved that he was honest and didn't try to sell me stuff I didn't need. I recommend his services.

Ben is absolutely amazing! He is so responsive and talented! He came to our place immediately and helped us open our door within 3 mins. Hard to believe! Our door is weird as we couldn't get any duplicate keys to work. He was able to figure out an effective solution! Highly highly recommend! :-)

I'm very happy and impressed with Ben from Greenkeys Locksmith. He is one genuine and professional locksmith! I called him last night around 10:30 pm because I was locked out of my house without a key, with 4 kids. He came quickly and throughly explained which route would be best to take in order to get inside because we have multiple doors he could have opened to get inside. He was quick in making a new key and letting me know that he could come back in the morning to fix an issue with the lock that was installed incorrectly initially. He didn't have to come back in the morning but he

I was impressed with the 5-star reviews so I've chosen GreenKeys. Benjamin was super-responsive while scheduling. He helped me rekey 3 locks. He was patient in explaining how rekeying worked. He was very personable. While he worked, we chatted. It took about 45 minutes to rekey 3 locks and make 9 keys.

It's easier and cheaper than replacing all 3 locks. I like GreenKeys' big keys bc they are easily recognizable amongst a ring full of generic keys.

My key wouldn't get into the front door lock fully. I contacted Greenkeys Locksmith and he fixed the cylinder lock without expecting anything in return for the service provided. I insisted but he didn't let me. I wouldn't use any other locksmiths from now on.

If you want a honest and knowledgeable guy to fix your lock problems, look no further. Highly recommend.

I called GreenKeys because Lowes wouldn't bother to pick up the phone.

Ben answered right away. I explained to him that I had a Kwikset entry lock with a broken cylinder. He had me send him some pictures, then he called me back and suggested that I just buy another doorknob lock at Dale and replace it myself. He said that with the problem I described, that's what he would end up doing if he came to my house, and even his minimum charge would be more than if I did the easy job myself.

Even though I wasn't his client, I was impressed by his business ethics. I will definitely call

When I called, Ben was on another job that would take several hours, but he recommended another locksmith and sent me some guidelines to follow to avoid common scams.

Even though I was not his client, he followed up to make sure that the issue had been resolved.

Appreciate both his professionalism and common human decency!

I got locked out of my home couple of hours back and insurance company messed up sending a car locksmith instead of a home locksmith. After a 3-4 hour dealing with insurance folks, Ben got assigned and He made a call. I explained him the situation and he came in 5 mins as promised. Very reliable and knowledgeable guy.

One example for his honesty and integrity is that he could have charged me extra saying he needs to send in camera etc., but he just did what is required and charged me far lower price. No new locks or key needed. Very honest guy ! You can trust him to do good for you.

Ben picked up my phone call and had me send him pictures of my custom key and lock we were using at my place of business. Since it was not urgent we scheduled an appointment during the 1 hour I had open on my schedule and he was able to fit in the service during that. I would highly recommend Ben for an Locksmith needs!

Ben is an awesome technician that is prompt, professional, and polite. He arrived, observed, and executed. He had all the tools to make sure there were no damages to the vehicle no scratches to the vehicle. If you're going to ask for the price to see if his services are cheap then he's not the person for you. His prices are reasonable and worth it. You know something is wrong when you call for something cheap and the person arrives in his personal car with made up tools, when some one like Ben GreenKeys Locksmith that arrives in his business service vehicle and proper tools and gets right to it

Ben went above and beyond helping me out today. I called 15 different locksmiths on a Saturday about a broken key for a register and no one would even entertain the idea of rekeying or offer any help. Ben called back and said he would give it his best. Super friendly service! He is mobile mostly and his shop is by appointment only. The only downside to this place is it is tucked away in a building that is tucked away too. But once maps found it i was able to fix the lock. If you need a lock or key or both hit this guy up you wont be sorry.

Could not be more pleased with Green Keys service. I needed to install an August lock and make some new keys for my home and they were fast and super helpful and priced better than the competitive quotes I got. They also choose to repair my main door lock rather than replace it which saved me from buying a new one which would have cost $120 and a testament to there quality workmanship. Highly recommend!
