Natalie Robinson
Wow, this place is great!!! I got a few key copies and was in and out within a few minutes. They have a bunch of fun colors too which was great since I was looking for a pink key. Excellent customer service. I’ll be sure to be back if I need any extra copies!
Laura Dasher
Richard and Guy from S.O.S Locksmith were incredible. We had a particularly odd situation where our door wouldn’t open, and they spent over two hours (and a lot of energy) getting it open for us. Even though the job ended up being much more complicated than originally expected, they didn’t upcharge us at all and honored the original quote.
That meant a lot, especially since everything we had read online warned that many locksmiths will quote one price and then dramatically increase it once the door is open. Richard and Guy were honest, professional, and incredibly hardworking. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend S.O.S Locksmith to anyone who wants fair pricing and genuinely trustworthy service.

These guys are the real deal. Lock scientists, magicians, pioneers, that’s how I would describe them. I wanted a spare key made and I had taken it everywhere, nobody even tried without the key card or a good match. These guys? It took three tries, but the third time, boom, resounding success. They made it their personal mission to copy this key, and they succeeded.

Guy and Tye are amazing. I came to them with a unique silver key for my locker and it worked!!! I’ll definitely be back in the future!!
