Stopped by a couple of hardware stores asking them to replicate a key I had. Turns out, it was a high security key and apparently they did not have the key blanks and the tools needed to carve it. I desperately needed a key copy, and was contemplating changing the lock if I didn’t find someone to get the job done. But it didn’t come to that – because I found After I sent them a snap of my key, Gateway Lock & Key Shop confirmed that they could make the copy. That’s what I call a true professional locksmith!

After being tricked by the hardware store into getting cheap copy keys made, one week later one of the copy keys broke within the lock! It aggravated me beyond words! It was 9 pm then and I was worried there would be no one around for help, but clearly, I was worrying for nothing! I spoke to Jones from Gateway Lock & Key Shop who assured me of prompt assistance. Sure enough, he got there within minutes and removed the pieces still lodged within the lock, careful not to damage anything in the process. He explained how the cheap materials used to make the key couldnt withstand usage (Usage??? Id barely used it for a week! ) Thatll teach me never to fall for cheap stuff again!

Gateway Lock & Key Shop is an example of how good customer service, in any industry, can make someone's day.

Fast, friendly, and professional. I chose Gateway Lock & Key Shop because of their great reviews. Now I understand that these raves are well-deserved! When I called Friday to schedule an appointment for my lock to be switched out (not an emergency), the guy on the phone was absurdly nice--like, apologized-for-putting-me-on-hold nice. He offered me an appointment slot for 9:30-10 on Saturday, and then apologized that he couldn't be more specific than that! Have these guys heard of Time Warner and their four-hour windows? Scott arrived right on time at 9:45 and got to work. He explained how the lock worked, told us everything we needed to know about ordering new keys, and even tightened the doorknob (free of charge) since it was loose. From buzzing our door to swiping the credit card on his Square reader, he was here less than 30 minutes. Working with Gateway Lock & Key Shop was absolutely painless. I highly recommend Gateway Lock & Key Shop and would definitely call them again.

When I first saw the millions of 5-star reviews I thought "no way". But..WAY. John was friendly and funny on the phone making the appointment, showed up exactly when he said he would, did an awesome job in no time at all, and it cost exactly what he quoted me over the phone. John is a really cool guy, explained what he was doing, and put me totally at ease. Whether you are changing the locks on a new apartment (as I was) or are drunkenly locked out at 2am (he made it clear he handles those situations too!)

Since moving to this city nine months ago, I've been locked out of my apartment no fewer than four times, so I think you'll trust my expertise when I say that these guys are the absolute best. They were on time, friendly, swift about getting me back into my place, and courteous enough not to comment on the state of it. Best of all, unlike the string of smarmy Eastern-Bloc types (sorry, Russia!) whom I've dealt with before, they were upfront about the price, and didn't gouge me for a Saturday rate. Gateway Lock & Key Shop is the company to call: 510-964-3272

Is it weird I almost want to get locked out again so I can call Lockbusters? Yeah, my experience was that great. After coming home at 2am beers may or may not have been involved, I soon realized that a lock on my door that I didn't have a key for had decided it didn't like being taped down, and chose to unlock itself at that very inopportune moment. That next morning, kicking the door in with my boots, attacking it with pink screwdrivers and attempting to scale the fire escape all failed. Defeated, I looked up a lock smith online to come rescue me. I called Gateway Lock & Key Shop and reqwest a service the tech called me right back, told me he would be there in 20 minutes. He was at my apartment right on the dot and busted my door open in literally less than 2 min. I was sorta embarrassed at how easily he did it though he assured me the lock had definitely flipped. For a little extra he sorted me out with a new lock and keys in less than 3 minutes and also fixed my sticky door knob.

The tech was a total professional and actually SHOWED UP ON TIME! He quickly installed the replacement piece to my Baldwin entry system and explained to me why it had failed. Outstanding customer service and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a Locksmith Company in El Sobrante, CA ! I'd almost lock myself out just to experience good service that is so rare these days!

I had my house rekeyed by Gateway Lock & Key Shop - their customer service was great from answering my call to scheduling John to complete the job. He was very knowledgable, reliable and got the job done. They were also able to be at my house within a short period of time when I locked myself out. I highly recommend them.
