Believe me, I called a few other shops. I forgot to ask the gentleman's name who helped me today, thank you, Transbay Lock!

Old-fashioned in the best sense of the word is how I would describe this locksmith's shop. I just needed some keys duplicated, but they had a choice of key blanks for me, and did the job quickly and professionally while I enjoyed the nostalgic ambience. Great service!

Best place for keys in Marin! When I have keys made for my listings they are always right the first time. I will drive here from anywhere in Marin to get keys made. Great locksmiths. I appreciate the sense of humor in the window signs too!!
