Called and was told he could be at my house in 20 minutes. And he was! Quick, professional, personable. What more do you want? Will definitely call next time. Just hope I don't lock myself out again!

got locked out of my apartment in Diamond Heights, San Francisco, and needed an emergency lockout service fast. After calling a few places, Ace Locksmith SF was the only locksmith that sounded professional and clearly familiar with the Diamond Heights area.
Alex, the technician, arrived quickly and handled the emergency lockout without damaging the door. The lock was old and not very secure, so I decided to change the locks while he was there. Alex explained the options, installed a new deadbolt, rekeyed everything on the spot, and tested all the keys before leaving.
What I appreciated most was how calm and straightforward Alex was during the whole process. The pricing was clear, there was no pressure, and the work was done carefully and efficiently. It felt like dealing with a local, experienced residential locksmith who actually knows what he’s doing.
If you’re in Diamond Heights and searching for a locksmith in San Francisco for an emergency lockout, lock change, or rekey service I would absolutely recommend Ace Locksmith SF

I called Ace for a lockout and they were there in 25 minutes! Unfortunately, I had a mix up with another lock service that farmed out my info so I had another tech arrive just before who had already started on the job. This tech tried to charge me over TWICE the cost that Ace quote me. Due to Ace's great pricing, I was able to negotiate a better deal with the other locksmith, but still wish I had just used Ace exclusively. Beware that some locksmith "businesses" on Google are just call centers that farm out your info. When you call Ace, you actually talk and deal with the business directly.

I've used Alex's services a few different times now in the Noe Valley area, both for electronic lock installation and replacing a standard lock. He's always been incredibly prompt to arrive and fast to complete his work, and I've been happy with the results. I called another locksmith in town from a larger shop and found out that their minimum charge just for showing up was greater than what Alex charged me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ace Locksmith SF provide overnight service?
No. It states that it operates from 7 AM to 11:30 PM, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays.
Can Ace Locksmith SF rekey a lock without replacing it?
Yes. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working while the existing lock hardware stays in place.
How long does Ace Locksmith SF take to rekey a lock?
A single lock takes about 10 to 15 minutes once the technician is on site; a typical San Francisco home with three or four exterior doors is usually finished within an hour.
Can Ace Locksmith SF install a smart lock without modifying a renter's door?
It offers retrofit installations for renters without door modification, and the landlord's existing key can still work with those models.
When does Ace Locksmith SF provide an exact quote?
It says the exact price is provided by phone before a technician comes out.
