Customer feedback is mixed. Several reviewers praise responsiveness, straightforward problem-solving, and efficient on-site service, often mentioning positive interactions with the technician. Others comment on pricing concerns and occasional front-counter communication issues. Overall themes include quick resolution of lock problems and differing views on value.

I went in the shop and greeted“Hi”! The guy didn’t reply back, how rude! Asked him how much to duplicate a key I have and he said $11! I find it expensive so I left and went to A C Lock Service in Berkeley which they charged me $6!

They will price gouge you, go to one of the other nearby stores for better prices. No complaints on the services but the pricing is straight up abusive.

If pricing is not an issue for you then it should be great!

Eddie was responsive and able to come out on short notice. He assessed the lock's issue and resolved it quickly. He was very honest and took the time to explain how to address similar issues in the future on my own. I like when I can learn from a business owner! He also had the ability to make copies of keys from his truck, a great bonus!
