Great service in under an hour. Replaced fob keys for two of my cars. Reasonable price. No nonsense. Friendly.

You don't feel welcome when you walk in. Purposely turn people away. No clear sign where the line is.

We use Lock World for all our locks at work. Ok service. Ok prices. The ordering seems to get confused sometimes.

A bit expensive than I anticipated but I needed the locks to be replaced. Nestor was REALLY helpful and professional.

The service was so good, I had to write a review. I was in dire need of a new car ignition, seemingly hopeless because the dealer discountined replacement parts for my make and model. Lock World took the time to contact multiple junkyards across the Bay Area until they found every replacement part. The result - my car is better than new.
I also appreciate the constant updates and clear communication from the team, and for their endless patience for all my questions.
These guys are kind, empathetic, honest, and transparent. Cannot recommend enough!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 2, 2023Updated review
I am updating my reviews systematically. I recommend Lock World. I have had them work on a vintage motorcycle, a 1990 Honda Hawk GT. They were competent, efficient, not expensive, and pleasant to deal with. I also want to mention something I think they have fixed. Google was listing them as out of business. I actually called the shop to bring that to their attention (this is a few years back, pre-pandemic). So don't pay attention if it indicates they are not there; they are, and they are doing fine.
To offer details: I had them work on the bike long ago, when it was new. The bike was stolen on Halloween 1993, trashed by the joyriders, and it had to rebuilt. The miscreants had hotwired it, which damaged the ignition. Everything had to be rekeyed. The insurance covered that, but they would not pay to have the gas tank or helmet lock, both which were intact, redone to match. (If you are not a motorcyclist, a single key should start the engine, open the gas tank lid, and also slot into the helmet lock, which is hidden underneath and to the side of the seat.) The result was the keychain had two keys on it. That is not a big deal. But when I had the bike restored, I figured I should address this minor issue, not noticeable to anyone except me, in the interests of doing a good job, rather than my usual "half assed" approach as my wife describes it.
So I went there, dropped off the bike, went to lunch at the Burmese place down the street, came back, and we were all set.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 1Aug 27, 2022Previous reviewI have had Lock World work on my vintage motorcycle. I actually had them do work decades ago, when the bike was not old; I then needed to have a repair done that I never got around to back in the day. (The bike had two keys instead of one, because it was stolen, trashed, and rebuilt, and in the course of that the ignition key had to be replaced due to the damage from hotwiring; it then didn't match the gas tank key.)
The price seemed reasonable. The efficiency was commendable -- dropped off, I went to have lunch, then I came back, and we were all set. - Stuart O.Amsterdam, The Netherlands1173Jul 10, 2023
Brought my own blanks which were standard keys, not special keys requiring a laser cut or a complex machine, it was a simple cut and took about 2 minutes to complete. The person who helped me charged $10 to cut a basic key which is more than double what a basic key cut cost. They didn't care I brought my own blanks, the price was the same to cut with mine or their blanks. If you have complex key to copy, they may be good for that but I simply cannot recommend this business for basic key cutting based on their (over) pricing. They don't post their prices anywhere either so just want other potential customers to be aware.

They are the best in town in terms of quantity of keys they can replicate. They have saved me $1k once cause no one else could make a copy of my mailroom key that was so old.

Fast, same day professional service. Lost my transponder car key and Nestor made a replacement for me in minutes on the same day I made contact with him. Highly recommend!
Service was also a better price than going to the car dealership.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
