Roy and the rest of the team are flawless in their lock installation job! Got our two flipped homes ready for the sale with fancy new main door locks and barn style door inside. Very professional, everything was priced reasonably, and their work ethic is top notch. Excellent job from Kardo Locksmith, well worth recommending!

I am never disappointed with the service that Kardo Locksmith provides. They're always on time, their workmanship is top-notch, and has provided me with key replacement services for various projects over many years! I recommend Kardo Locksmith without hesitation because you can't go wrong when it comes to fast reliable quality of course at an affordable price too!

Needed to upgrade my main door's cylinder lock, it's gotten too old and had been jamming a lot lately. Kardo Locksmith did the replacement, they recommended some wonderful options. I decided to go for mortise style to get more bang for the buck. Their locksmith did the work seamlessly, in fact got it done right within the lunch hour. He also furnished a duplicate for my room. Overall, Im satisfied with their work, and would love to hire them again if I have any more lock changes around the house.

I've called Kardo Locksmith twice in this past year, one when I locked myself out the apartment, and today for a fob reprogramming. Great work on both occasions, their staff's sincerity and expertise are what keep me coming back to them. Best locksmiths around!

The technician from Kardo Locksmith showed up on time and spent extra effort to make sure the door operated smoothly with my new lock. He also went above by grinding down our strike plate so it would be a 100% perfect fit! A+ to your service!

Kardo Locksmith was able to come out and give me a quick response when my car keys were lost. The serviceman arrived on time, which really impressed me because it's not always easy finding someone close by that can serve such an urgent need! He made one extra key for me too so I would have enough room in case anything happens again. This company definitely knows what customer service means!

Go with someone else. Quoted a different price and charged a much higher price for like what 1 minute of work.

I was in need of a locksmith who could help me with copybuilding 5 rentals and I found the perfect one! Kardo Locksmith walked me through the process and set expectations for each step. Their key copies are of high quality and looks like they will last. This was by far the best experience I've had with any locksmith company. They had great prices and did quality work. Thanks, you deserve 5 stars!

I lost the keys to our truck. We searched everywhere and couldn't find them. I reached out and these guys were very responsive. If you want someone to just come and get the job done and no customer service skills or personality then call this guy. The estimated price versus what he told me when he said he could do the job varied greatly. I gave him very precise and exact details of type of car and everything and the quote didn't come close to what I paid. I used them anyway but I don't know if I would call again unless I was really in a jam. Thank you though for the quick and prompt service.

The crew at Kardo Locksmith made my day when they offered the most cost-effective repair on car keys. They were able to get it done in no time, with their auto locksmith working smoothly from start until finish! Highly satisfied and thankful for the results!

I learned that I forgot my key inside the minivan, only realized it as I got off work to drive home. So I had to call Kardo Lockmsith but wasn't sure if they're still available because that was close to 11pm. Fortunately for me, they were able to send a mobile locksmith. Within 10 minutes they were done, did not charge me more than necessary, and did not damage the car door or anything. They are a solid, reliable locksmith company worth calling for emergencies. 5 stars all around!

I had a couple things that needed to be fixed and In my request I specified exactly what work I needed done. they said they would be able to fix it for me. They said a technician would be sent and no one came. I messaged again a week later and they said a technician would come and no one came again. I should have seen this as a huge red flag but this was not a pressing issue so I gave them one more chance and they finally sent someone out.

The technician came and they said they could not fix what I needed done even though they said they could. So basically he just sprayed some WD40 on one of our old locks for a temporary fix on the easiest job I requested and then tried to charge me $70. I eventually ended up paying $40 for the tech to come out and spray WD40 on my lock and them saying they couldn't fix the other more important issues. They should have told me from the beginning they could not do what I requested.

Fast and efficient. Only down-side to report: service person who came out was an overflow contractor, not the regular guy.

Our store needed rekeying last weekend. The locksmiths did a thorough job to fit the new keys - we feel secure now that our doors are updated. They also gave great advice on security after doing the work. Such a helpful and hardworking team!

The voice mail box was full when I called so I couldn't leave a message, but Noel called me back promptly anyway. It was around 7am on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I told him the problem (laundry room door was locked, with no available key) and gave him my address. He said he could send a technician out, with an ETA of 9am. I asked the price and he quoted me $95.

The technician arrived around 9:30am, a bit later than expected but no problem. However, after seeing the job, he said he needed to call the office for the price, and then told me it would be $134! I told him about the price of $95 that I was quoted, and he told me that didn't include the travel! That wasn't okay with me but I decided to go ahead since I needed to move along with my day. I won't ever use this company again since they didn't stand by the quote that they gave me.

Requested locksmith services because I was locked out. Quoted me 90-150 over the phone. NAOR is the techs name and tried to SCAM me for $400. After I adamantly refused and threatened to refuse service he brought the price back down 150. The door was unlocked in minutes and this service shouldn't have even cost that. If this employee NAOR is any indication about how this business is run then it is a complete SCAM and an incompetently run business.

This "family run" operation is clearly not operating in good faith. Unprofessional, sleazy, and unkempt as I could see half his buttock as he bent down. One of the WORST customer service experiences I've ever had. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Excellent service! Kardo Locksmith came to my rescue in an evening, on a Sunday, in the rain, when no other locksmith would answer their phone! I was 4 hours away from home and had managed to lock my keys in my trunk. The staff worked tirelessly in the cold and rain until the job was done. Highly recommended!

I used their 24h emergency service and was quoted $125 over the phone to break open a safe at 8pm on a weekday. I was comfortable with the price, so I asked for a door lock to be repaired as well. The technician that responded to the service call was rude and abrupt- walking directly into the home without even knocking. When he completed the service he said the total cost was $425. Avoid this company, they do not provide accurate estimates.

So we hired this company to re-key our shop gate locks. The technician that came out and did the job was efficient and competent and I was happy to pay the $500 bill ($405 for three gate locks and $95 for two padlocks.) About 4 days later my key got stuck in one of the shop gate locks. So I called the number and told them the situation and made it clear that I needed someone to come out ASAP because I couldn't secure the shop by taking out the key once the gate was locked.

The person I spoke to said it would be hard for them to make it out immediately (and told me that next day service was likely), but assured me that he'd call me back in in short order to let me know if he could get anybody to come out the same day. I never got that phone call back and no one showed up the next day. Update: The owner of Kardo Locksmith called after I posted my 2- Star review and sent someone out to fix the lock that we were having issues with. So they did make good on the job and I've increased my rating accordingly.

Charged $175 to pick a standard Schlage 5-pin door lock at 10 am on a Tuesday. You can buy seven brand new locks at Home Depot for that price. Makes you wonder what they charge for late-night and weekends! I asked him twice if that was always the price. Leo said yes. I don't have an accent because I was born here, but Leo also didn't realize my parents are Israeli and I speak fluent Hebrew.

I could understand everything he was saying on the phone lol. Go with another company. They'll charge you $80 to come out, maybe $100, and won't be on the phone attempting to speak another language over your head to someone else the entire time. This took him about 30 seconds to complete. I waited almost an hour for him to come out. Cost me $175. Use another company. They all take an hour to come out, some are just more respectful with their costumer service and reasonable with their pricing.

I often do not write bad reviews but in this instance after being disappointed numerous times, I needed to say some thing. Setting false expectations of when either you're going to get called back, or have a technician come see you, he's incredibly misleading. I waited over an hour and a half at 1 AM and never did a technician come. Every time I called apparently somebody was coming or calling but that never was FALSE ADVERTISING here with "24/7" services. Do not rely on this company if you feel you need help in the middle of the night.

I had a few door knobs I wanted to replace and hired Kardo Locksmith to replace them. My locksmith ( Courtney?) came on time, wore protective gear/ mask, laid down floor coverings to protect my floors and cleaned up after all the work was done. Happy and satisfied customer. I've since used them to repair a french door. Thanks guys.

They have a very organized operation. Requesting a locksmith schedule was a breeze, and they informed me about how the repair process works. They rekeyed our front door lock on the same day I contacted them, and they did a great job with it. I'm very pleased with their efficiency and quality work. Service: Lock rekeying

I had a very convenient transaction with them when I asked to have my keys copied. They went to my house and duplicated them here. The locksmith maintained a safe distance from us and got the work done efficiently. Glad to have their superb service at an affordable rate. Service: General repairs

My car key suddenly won't turn my ignition any more, and I was out in the middle of LA with a car I cannot start. Kardo Locksmith responded fast to my service request and was on site within a few minutes. The locksmith replaced the ignition cylinder and got my car to start up right after. Their service is the definition of reliability. Thanks, guys!

I hired them to install a new door lock, and they did an impressive job getting it all sorted. The guy who assisted me during my free consultation was very friendly. I researched about the models he recommended and called them the next day to tell them the lock I chose. Then they sent an installer within a couple of days, and he installed it flawlessly. I love how secure this lock is and how aesthetically pleasing it is. I'm 100% won over and would always recommend this company. Thanks a lot!

They replaced a gate lock for a property I manage. They quoted a good price over the phone. When the tech arrived he said that it was going to be more and that they had mis-quoted over the phone. After trying to guilt me into paying more because he was going to lose money, he finally agreed to do the job for the originally quoted price. Anyway, low ratings because the lock only lasted a few months. Very low traffic area, maybe used one or twice a week. Called Kardo and left a couple voicemails to see if they could fix it, but never got a call back from them.

They're very reliable and easy to transact with. My key fob started acting up, and the controls seem to have been messed up. The locksmith reprogrammed it and made it work the right way very quickly. While he was there, I asked him to make me a duplicate key fob, which he perfectly did. This will make it convenient in case my wife needs to take my car whenever she needs to. Excellent job!

The key that a different company made for me broke in half. It was just a week after they gave it to me, so I made sure that I'll have a better company do it for me this time. My colleague recommended Kardo Locksmith, so I called them immediately. They were onsite very quickly, and the technician knew exactly what to do after he saw the broken key. The keys he made are perfect! I'm very satisfied with the service.

We just got back from an out of state visit to my parents when we realized that we forgot our keys there. The kids were so excited to play with the toys they haven't played with for a week. Since we cannot get in, they started throwing tantrums. It was so chaotic, so we immediately looked for local LA locksmiths. We saw that Kardo offers 24/7 locksmith services and called them right away.

They sent someone out within minutes and the tech got us in very quickly. He made sure that the lock is working well and made us a replacement key before he left. I was super relieved someone can help us on such short notice. These guys are amazing!

We just bought a house, and the first thing we did before moving in is to have it rekeyed. Kardo Locksmith responded to our request immediately and sent a locksmith on the same day I called. He did everything flawlessly, with no scratches or nicks on the door. He was also very efficient, as he finished everything pretty quickly. I have nothing more to ask. These guys are fantastic!

Best Locksmith in LA. I called around 11pm and he changed my lock fast, gave me a great deal and was very respectful. He was also presentable with nice shoes and clean clothes and not creepy at all. I would recommend to anyone in the Los Angeles area! Thank you so much!

I had to have a locksmith come out to a rental property I manage on Saturday evening and thankfully I got Nick. He was awesome, did a great job, was fast and efficient and got the lock fixed and working in less than an hour. There was a mixup with the invoice and I thought he was leaving it with one of the tenants, but ended up taking it with him.

I called him back to ask him to mail it to me or drop it off at my house and he double back to drop it off at my house, which I really appreciated. If you need a locksmith, give them a call!

I needed my locked changed on my front door immediately and he handled my questions, concerns and schedule like I was his number 1 customer. I don't write reviews unless it was a solid and noteworthy experience. Thanks quickly Ben resolved it.

When you spend over one hundred dollars on a lock you expect it to last. On the advice of the experts at Kardo Locksmith, I purchased two storeroom locks in March 2017. Last week I found out that one of the two locks stopped working. I gave Kardo a call and explained the situation. He responded that the warranty was only good for 3 months. They charged me 45 to come out to see the problem.

Another 40 to drill the lock they installed. Additionally he wanted to charge another 65 for a new lock and 35 to rekey the lock. No thanks Kardo. I don't need you to rip me off any more.

Earlier today, my car's battery decided to die. I was in the middle of a very busy work day and needed someone to help me out ASAP. I called Kardo Locksmith since they had plenty of good reviews. They came after 20 minutes as promised. And a few minutes later I was back on the road driving to work. Thanks Kardo! very reliable!

Last night around 3am I came home from work and found out I lost my key. I called 2 other locksmith companys and had no answer. Just when I thought I'm going to spend the night in my backyard I found Kardo Locksmith on Google. Leo the technician came after 15 minutes and was so nice and proffesional, he unclocked my door and made me a new key. the price was fair and the service was great. THANK YOU!

These people are the Best Locksmiths! Exceeds expectations in every way and is going to be my go-to locksmith from now on. I sent a note yesterday with a question - just looking to buy a lock and was willing to come to them - but they offered to come look at the door and install it for me instead. Very friendly technician guy and did the job in about 15 minutes. Phenomenal company! Do yourself a favor and contact them for your Locksmithing needs!

Excellent service. True professionalism. They are masters of this profession and more importantly, very sincere and honest. The entire process only took an hour and a half...and that's starting with my phone call and ending with them handing me keys to my new door locks!! When you see the Kardo technician change your locks, you can tell they've been doing this a long time.

Kardo locksmith you saved my life !!! Right before I was leaving for the airport for a business trip I got locked out of my house. It was my worst nightmare. I was so panicked I googled locksmith services and Kardo locksmith popped up. They answered right away and sent someone over. I didn't expect them to come so fast and be so officiant! The service was kind and not pricy but the most important they solved the problem right away and I even made my flight. Highly recommend this company.

Normally, I hate calling locksmiths - as they take forever to get to your location and they take a while to get back into your car or home, and they're super expensive.
