Blaine and his dad were incredibly kind and accommodating. They helped me open a safe I’d bought on Amazon after I lost the keys. And gave me a great deal on top of it. Forget paying $500 or more elsewhere. Bring your safe to them and save a bundle. We need more small businesses like this. Highly recommended!

Blaine from Santa Monica Lock & Safe is a magician . This is the first time I’ve felt compelled to immediately write a review for a business . I consider myself a handy person but I could not have picked a better service when deciding to call these guys . I had a key break in my ignition . 80 % of the key was lodged nearly 1.5 inches into the ignition barrel . I had several mechanics look at it and everyone told me I would need to replaced the ignition housing and quoted me a price 5x the price it cost for Blaine to show up and resolve it in 30 minutes .

This is a multi generational family owned locksmith. They have years of experience. I brought in my very old worn car key. I had purchased a blank copy online. It was not going to be able to be copied by the standard method. Michael, who was helping me, said he could try and decode it and he would try it on a test key. In about 5 minutes he had a key cut that worked!

This is an art. Regular online key stores and kiosks would not have been able to do this. It would have been a waste of money. But with the talent at this location, they masterfully made me a new car key. And copied my house key in about 2 seconds.

The pricing is beyond Fair of what you would experience at a kiosk, online locksmith. They were far more economical and have years of talent to ensure you get what you need.

Parking is cheap on the street 0.25 for 12 minutes. Plenty of street parking available.

They have a huge key collection. Whatever you like they have a key for it. They also have key hiders, key lock boxes, safes of all sizes and door handles and key sets. Very nice good selection. They know about locks and carry the best.

I highly recommend that you support this business, not only because it's a homegrown business run by a family. But because it's a lost art that they have a masterful understanding of. This is rare.

Frequently Asked Questions

For many issues—like key duplication, decoding, or small safe assistance—bringing the item to the shop helps resolve it faster and more affordably. Call ahead to confirm whether your situation can be handled in-store or if other arrangements are recommended.

Reviews indicate the shop frequently decodes worn keys and cuts accurate replacements. In many cases, staff can test-cut and verify function before finalizing, which improves reliability compared to kiosk copies.

Customers report help with opening small consumer safes brought into the shop when keys are lost. For larger or specialty safes, call with details so the team can advise on options and any limitations.

Simple key copies are usually quick, while decoding worn keys or troubleshooting may take longer. Timing depends on key type and condition; staff can give an estimate after seeing the key.
