I cannot say enough wonderful things about the service I received from A-1 Locksmith. I am a petsitter who got locked out of a client's home while they were out of town. I called A-1 Locksmith and Steven showed up IMMEDIATELY. I was genuinely surprised at the response time. Steven was super friendly and understanding. He gained me access. Made me 2 new keys and it didn't cost me as much as I have been told it would from other locksmiths, by at least, if not, more than $100. I highly recommend A-1 Locksmith and will be using them for any future access emergencies.

He is very very experienced in his field! He opened my front door within 5 minutes or less. Its a very very old lock. Not easy to pick. He knew what to do. Steven knows what he is doing. I would not hesitate to use this business! Highly recommend him and will be calling in future.

I absolutely recommend this business that is owned by Steven! I locked myself and was beyond stressed out. Beyond. He arrived within the hour. Very prompt. He was working with a very, very old lock. He has tricks because he has so much experience in the field of business. He knows what he is doing. He literally got the lock to open in less then 5 minutes with a trick he knows. It was amazing to watch! I will use him again in the near future. Thank you Steven for your expertise. Its appreciated.

Replaced and installed one lock for our office and charged us 700+. We asked for how much the lock cost, but couldn't give us the answer as to why the cost for one lock is at $700 which doesn't make any sense.

Steven came within 30 min on a Saturday afternoon and unlocked the car in 5 min. He was wearing a mask and very pleasant to talk to.

Called them on a weekend because I was locked out of the house. Steve, the owner, was upfront about the price and there were no surprises. It took him a while to get here on the coast because of the weekend traffic, but he called a few times to update on his ETA. Upon arriving, he found out that the lock was a new un-pickable type, so he had to drill it. He also installed a new lock. He cleaned up the debris from all the drilling after he was done. He is extremely reliable, and very diligent. Highly recommended.

Steve, the owner is an excellent person. He responded to calls promptly. He is the guy you want to hire to fix your key issue. He is so knowledgeable and know what he is doing. He is very patient, kind and helpful with your needs. His customer service is excellent. He won't just take your money without making sure your issue is solved. It's not easy to find a person like Steve who is so caring to his client's needs. I would recommend to anyone I know for his service. He is not the kind of person who just want to

Total rip-off! Beware. Be sure you ask them to explain their (ridiculous) charges before they start working.

$1,300 to rekey 4 doors. Steve said it took him almost 5 hours, which is impossible. It should take no more than an hour to do this work. Even at that price, he didn't ask what color locks we wanted and installed a hodgepodge of colors. The door in the bedroom ended up with an illegal lock (without a handle). Tried calling him to discuss the pricing and the poor quality, but he went radio silent.

Steve is amazing! I called on a Saturday afternoon needing assistance ASAP. Steve was kind enough to come within 15 minutes even though he had previous plans. He cares about his customers and loves what he does. My lock was a bit unique and Steve was determined to find a solution and did. He is a wealth of knowledge and did the job with an up beat attitude the entire time. If you have lock issues you need Steve!

I think they closed. Called so many times with no answer. A little worry about them. Still give them 5 star just be nice. And Steve was pretty nice on the phone with me during the first few calls. Called last week set a schedule but didn't come. Told me to send email quote never did. Understood holiday season. Went to their location yesterday. No people. It's an old garage and a 40 years old work truck outside. Good luck to Steve. They will have huge opportunity for business because Facebook new building is right in front of them.

Don't call this place & ask Steve to replace your keys. He'll rip you off. I trusted the reputation here & saying all good about him. I called him on Friday & set appointment on Monday 7pm since service hours is till 9pm. He called on Monday 7pm said that he'll charge me overtime if I insist him to do that time. So I rearrange to next day, around 11:30am. But he showed up 2:30pm, without any apologies. He did jobs & had my credit card #. Next day, invoice & charged notice came. He charged $175 for rekeyed x 5, $16 for copies x4, $150 for one hour labor. On

Steve was the best locksmith I have had to call by far, and because of my job I've had to call many. He got to the house I manage quickly and opened 3 closet doors so fast it amazed me! I've had other locksmiths take 45 minutes just to open one door.

Steve was great. He arrived in the allotted time that he said he would and quickly had the lock unlocked. His manner was very calm and professional which I appreciated. Plus, the lock looks and works just like it was never "picked." I have no concerns over the integrity of the lock and feel safe. I would call Steve again should I ever need locksmith service in the future.

Steve has helped me probably too many times to count. A Yelp review is long overdue for him. When I was 18, locked my keys in my car, and had to be in class within an hour, Steve came to my rescue, and he had everything with his since he has a mobile van too. He helped me re-key my house after a break in, and even helped re-mount the doorbell that had been knocked out of the wall. Two thumbs up! Only locksmith in the bay you need to know.

We have an office in Burlingame and one of our doors was accidentally locked by the janitors during the night. Guess what? There was no key available and we couldn't help our customers! I called and spoke with Steve, the owner of A-1 and after explaining our predicament he was kind enough to prioritize us first and come right out.

Steve had the door open in literally less than three minutes. No damage to the door, no need to replace the lock. Of course he used tools that I would have no access to and frankly would not have even known existed! I can't thank him enough for prioritizing

Review is on the following: customer service, speed of service, price of service, overall experience

Customer Service: I called to request pricing, but did not leave a message after a few rings. I received a call back within 2 minutes asking if I had any questions... that has never happened! Furthermore, Steve (owner) drove to me.. I did not know he could do that, but he does, and he was able to waive the fee as it was on his way.. that was extremely generous of him!

Speed of Service: Upon speaking with Steve, he was able to come by the office, check out the keys needing to be copied and provide

Got locked out of my car after class and he came over pretty quickly. We spent the first 5 or so min trying to get into the passenger door when I realized that the only door with an electric lock (was trying to open the window switch) was the drivers side haha... He was pretty chill about it.

I just bought a house and asked Steve with A-1 Locksmith to make a house call to change out all the locks.

Steve was perfectly punctual, arriving at our designated time. We reviewed my needs. He fulfilled them exactly as requested. He also assisted in repairing some damage to one of my doors.

Anytime someone comes out to make a housecall for any service, you expect to pay a premium. The service was not cheap, but it was more than worth it.

Steve decided to take things to the next level. While he was there, without me asking, he helped out by helping reset the dead garage door and also helped
