"It is so important to find an honest, trustworthy locksmith and Alan is definitely the best in the business. He is a total professional and I trust him to re-key my whole house. I have used him on numerous occasions - basically whenever anything goes wrong with my locks- and have recommended him to colleagues and friends. All have had equally positive experiences with both quality of work and price. I would not believe that other reviewer."

"Eddie responded to my request very quickly! Eddie arrived on time and corrected my door issues. This is an early 1900's home and he knew how to work with old mortise locks with skeleton keys. Excellent job and he cleaned the area afterwards."

"When I called to make appointment, I was told coupon was just to show up, but no work was included. The price quoted for the replacement car door key was higher than I had paid another locksmith in the past for mobile services. I'm not sure of the date, but it was when the coupon ran earlier this year.

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Brea, CA

The cost to hire a locksmith ranges from $50 to $200 but can cost up to $500. Cost factors vary but may include your location, the urgency of the request (emergencies typically cost more), and the complexity and size of the job. With many homes moving from standard mechanical locks to smart and electronic security and locking systems, locksmiths may charge more for the expertise and equipment needed to do the work required by these systems. 

Yes, many locksmiths can usually program a key fob for your car. The cost for car dealerships to replace lost or stolen key fobs can get expensive. Alternatively, check with a local professional locksmith to review your options and prices. 

Typically, it’s cheaper to rekey your existing locks than to install new ones. The cost to rekey ranges from $80 to $160, while the cost to change locks ranges from $50 to $200, depending on the type of locks. The value of rekeying vs. replacing locks depends on the condition of your locks and whether or not you already want to replace them.

Yes, the cost to hire a reliable, professional locksmith is worth it, especially if you have a larger job like replacing all the locks and doorknobs in your house. If you’re locked out of your home or car, a locksmith has the tools and the knowledge to get you back in without risking damaging your property. You can also hire a locksmith to install or replace a doorknob or lock.
