"Used this guide when we bought our home in North Los Altos. Had all seven locks rekeyed the same week we moved in. The locksmith the guide helped me vet showed his BSIS license before getting out of the van. Exactly what good service looks like."
"Smart lock installation on our front door and the Schlage Encode Plus setup with HomeKit took about 90 minutes. The locksmith adjusted the door alignment, which I had not expected. He walked me through the app and auto-lock settings. Very professional, fair price for Los Altos."
"Locked out of my Audi on El Camino near Loyola Corners. The locksmith arrived in about 35 minutes, used a slim jim, and opened it without any damage. He asked for my registration and license before starting, which I appreciated. Clean, fast, no surprises."
"The pricing guide here was spot on. Medeco deadbolt replacement came in at $280 installed, exactly in the range listed. The locksmith explained why Medeco was appropriate for our street-facing door. This is the kind of honest information that is hard to find elsewhere."
Online reviews are useful but can be manipulated. Here is what to look for when reading locksmith reviews for providers in the Los Altos area.
Red flags: a cluster of reviews posted within a few days, generic phrases ("great service!", "very professional"), or prices far below market rates in the review content.
