Obtained two key fobs for a 2012 Dodge Ram. The programming and cutting of the keys was 10 minutes or less. Great response time regarding my request for a quote. All said and done I will be back if I ever need to do this again.

These guys are the best. My wife used the key to our ‘97 Land Rover Defender to pry open a can and broke it in two. First of all, these guys had a key blank to match the Defender key. Not everyone does. Second, they matched it perfectly. It works in the ignition, and all the doors perfectly. I ended up buying another key blank off of Amazon, because it has the chunky plastic part that says Land Rover (boujee, I know), but these guys cut it without any problems. Any problems with keys or locks, Howard Safe & Lock is my go to.

I love this local shop! So much more efficient and friendly than going to a hardware store. Mike always takes great care of whatever I need and they have plenty of fun, interesting tools for all of your key hiding and locking needs. Highly recommend!

I stopped by Home Depot to get some door keys for my truck (didn't need them to start it, just lock and unlock the doors) and they flat out told me they couldn't help me. I then went to Howard Safe & Lock and within minutes I had two door keys made. Staff is super friendly and helpful! I highly recommend them!

Excellent job. Half the price of the dealer. Everyone said I had to get anew fob programmed by the dealer for my 2010 Jaguar, Howard Safe and Lock was able to do it in less than 20 minutes.

I must share my wonderfully helpful experience with Howard Safe & Lock Company. I needed to access a locked interior compartment of a large very old fireproof bank safe my parents had to make sure it was empty before selling their home. I had no idea what the key looked like or where in the house it could be stored. For 2 years of slowly cleaning out the house, I checked every unusual looking key I could find and nothing fit it. I was told I would need to drill it open, but calling around gave me shocking quotes for someone to do...much less assuming the space was empty. Mor with Howard Safe &

Needed a broken key replaced for my Matco toolbox. Call 3 places and sent pictures of broken key to said places only to be told they do not have them. Got in contact with owner and he looked at picture said to come in and see Mike his shop manager. Mike was very knowledgeable and was about to replace my broken key and make 9 keys total in about 7mins. All keys functioned perfectly. I would recommend these people when others cannot. Life savers.

We’ve heard all the praises about our local locksmith, and so we hired them to rekey our locks and to install keypads. I called him on a Saturday and he came today, on Sunday. No need, since it wasn’t an emergency. However, he was prompt, professional, courteous, and extremely fair with pricing. Mor is just an all around nice man with incredible customer service skills. Eight locks and a couple of keypads done in just a little over an hour. Fantastic job!

I got 2 new replacement keys for my 2011 Chevy Traverse for a reasonable price. Whenever I may need keys I know where to come. 100% recommended.

This place is amazing. I reached out to them and they got back to me right away. They were extremely friendly. I've had several issues with other locksmiths, but not with these guys! This is the place to go for any of your needs. They are also very reasonably priced.

I needed a new key fob. I contacted this company for assistance due to its good reviews. It took three calls to get ahold of someone. When I spoke to someone they were rude and dismissive. I was desperate and proceeded with using their services. I was given a replacement fob even paid extra to show my appreciation. The key fob worked twice then no more. I received another from the company for an additional cost and that didn’t work either!! I was unable to get into my vehicle and was forced to miss 4 days of much needed pay at work! Do not recommend.

Last year: After researching Wi-Fi locks and paying $250 at L*we's for a high-rated one, my thought?
How do I install this thing?
Tried...too complicated for me.
Nope. Not doing it.

Read reviews for several locksmiths and chose Howard Safe & Lock to come out to do the work for me.
Service: took less than 10 minutes
Cost: $129.90
I am not complaining because this was a "want" purchase, not a need.
For me, it was worth every penny.
The locksmith came out--maybe not on time, but he did show on the day scheduled.
He didn't talk much, but that didn't bother me

Brought in a lock and they re-keyed it while I waited and made extra keys. Quick service and reliable. Keys work very well.

Omg I am so happy!!!

Mor came within two hours of me contacting him. I called around 2 and was told that someone would be here between 4-6. This is a pleasant surprise with him coming right around 4. I actually called someone before Howard Safe and Lock because the price was slightly cheaper, but the guy stopped responding to me after the timeframe he gave me.

I lost my key fob days ago and hadn't been able to go anywhere because I have no spare. Mor came and programmed my new key fob in less than 10 minutes. This guy rocks! He is fast, friendly, and punctual!!!
