A-Calimex

I may not have used his service yet! Regrettably I should have. I called getting a quote cuz I locked my keys inside my car. He was reasonable but I wanted to check else where, Big mistake there. I decided to go with another locksmith who initially gave me a lower quote but then tried to charge me $ 120 when they got to me. Those guys made me call this locksmith put him on speaker so they can hear that their competitor charges $ 50 flat rate and not $ 120. This guy saved me from getting ripped off unknowingly. I will be using this lock Smith for the future.

This review is as short as the service. Called, left a message and then called me back. Told him I needed a Hyundai Key and he said «I cant do that.»
Called Benjamin at Benjamin’s Car Key Replacement and he knew what he was doing. Cut a simple, non-​remote key for me to get in and drive my car back home.

If it’s not an emergency, you’re not a priority. Called yesterday, made an appt. At the appointed time guy called and said «got an emergency» and rescheduled. Didn’t show or call for the rescheduled time. Next…

I called them at 6, someone was here in 20 minutes, he changed 4 locks in 20 minutes. Highly professional and efficient. Family-​owned, and the guy (either Rafael or Joseph) was very nice. I don’t use locksmiths much, but if I need one again, I’ll definitely be calling them.

I lost a set of house keys near my home. I called A-​Calimex at 11:45am. By 2pm they came re-​keyed my two entrance doors and opened the lock to my storage room lock. I was impressed at the courtesy and price. When I first moved into my place in 2009, I had the house doors re-​keyed and it cost more in 2009 than it did on March 31, 2015.
I’d gladly recommend this company to friends and family.

Locked myself out of my apartment. Got here in less than 15 min and had the door open in 2 minutes.

We locked ourselves out of the house and called Joseph. He arrived on time and open the door in about 60 seconds. Polite and professional. I will definitely use them again.

I called based on the Unilocal reviews. I talked to Joseph who clearly gave me a price based on what I needed and explained that he could work around my schedule. He came out the same day and called me before he showed up to give me his estimated time he’d be arriving.
I needed my home re-​keyed to all be the same key for all the doors. There was a $ 35 flat service fee and each bolt that he worked on and re-​keyed was $ 15. I almost spent $ 450 at home depot to re-​do all my locks and these guys did it for half that saving me cash.
Took about an hour and some change to get the job done. Was professional and efficient and I’m glad I used them.

My experience here was horrible. I came to have a new lock changed to match my key. The guy ripped open the box, took it apart, fiddled around for a few minutes, and told me that he didn’t have the right tool, that I should drive down the street to Ace Hardware to have it changed.
So I went to Ace and the helpful employee changed the lock no problem. While trying to put it back together he realized that the lock was missing a crucial piece. So I had to drive back to this place and ask the guy where the piece was. He spent five minutes looking around and said he couldn’t find it. He told me to check back the next day. The packaged was unopened so I know it was complete when I purchased it!
Unorganized, unprofessional, apathetic!

I called A-​CALIMEX to open some commercial file cabinets who had lost their keys during a move. Joseph arrived 10 minutes early and worked quickly, efficiently and did some extra, out-​of-​the-​box work on one broken file cabinet.
I highly recommend A-​CALIMEX and Joseph for your locksmith needs

So I had another «LOCK ISSUE» !! LOL!
I had to call A-​Calimex again to open my car trunk before I donated it! It had been a great old car but it was time to let it go. It needed some repairs and I just didn’t want to keep worrying about two cars. The trunk lock was stuck and I knew there wasn’t anything too valuable in there, but just wanted to be careful to remove all my personal stuff! My guy was over in 10 minutes! FAST!
He was able to get the trunk open and only charged me $ 65.00!
NOW! This is the crazy part !!! Since I was out there for a few minutes –I guy who was working on the cement near by started talking to me and decided her wanted to give me a 900.00 cash for my car! LOL I told him of all the issues but he really wanted it!
The whole thing was a LUCKY ACCIDENT! LOL
THANKS A-​CALIMEX!

Today is my third time using these guys. The first time, I misplaced my only key for an older Buick. He drove out and remade a key for the doors and replaced the ignition key for a great price.
Second time, my ’99 Infiniti I30 somehow lost all the key programming when I tried jump starting it. He drove out and reprogrammed the key for MUCH less than what a dealer was charging. I would have also have to tow the car there.
Third time was to program 1 key and cut tow for my 2006 Dodge Magnum. Since I only had one working key, I couldn’t program a second unless I brought it to the dealer. He cut my keys and programmed the new key for an awesome price.

I reached Joseph on the first call and he set up a time to stop by and rekey my locks at the house. Called when on his way and showed up onetime. Joseph was really friendly and explained what he was doing and options available to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. He was able to quickly rekey the locks and their rates are great. I highly recommend A-​Calimex which is owned and operated by Joseph’s grandfather.

Called them, someone took down my number and said they would call me back to let me know what time someone would be here and I never heard back from them. I called back 2 hours later and there was no answer, and by that time it was too late to call someone else. Definitely won’t be calling them for business again.

Neighbor got locked out of his apartment and needed a locksmith fast. Locksmith Joseph came by in 15 – 20 minutes and opened it with no problem. Charged $ 85 for the emergency call. Great service.

Fast & fair service. I called them, they offered me a reasonable base price and freed my bike from my U-​Lock. I would recommend these guys to whoever.

Yay for A-​Calimex! I’m a Realtor and yesterday one of my clients whose home is on the market came home to find that his lock was broken and he couldn’t get into his condo Not good! The lockxmiths I’d used in the past weren’t available so I was happy to find A-​Calimex on Unilocal.They were conveniently close and had postive reviews (including one from another client of mine).
I spoke with Joseph, who told me he could be out there in 10 minutes. He arrived promptly, fixed the lock quickly, and only charged $ 65. Both my client and I were very happy with the service and I will definitely have A-​Calimex on my list of go-​to people in the future!

I own a 2007 Nissan Sentra and lost my only set of keys. I called this place and they were able to get to me within 15 minutes. However, they could only provide me with a key and not a remote for my alarm. While the locksmith was making the key I called other local locksmiths to see if anyone could make me a remote for my alarm. I spoke with Armando and Mike at Heloh Locksmith and they said they could program a remote for my alarm.
When the locksmith finished making the key for my car it wouldn’t start, and he couldn’t figure out why. Thankfully the other locksmith with the remote arrived and he was able to get the car started and provide me with a remote for my alarm.
If you own a newer car that has a key with a chip and a remote for your alarm I don’t recommend this place for the simple fact that the locksmith wasn’t able to get the car started. If it hadn’t been for the other local locksmith who knows how long it would have taken to get the car started.

I live in a historic complex and have a vintage Yale lock. I called a few places locally and A-​Calimex offered the best prices and seemed nice on the phone. To save substantially, I was informed that I could even remove my lock and bring it to them. How flexible, huh? The other locksmiths were more profit-​driven on the phone. Ya know how that goes.
Well after awhile, I finally scheduled for the locksmith, Joseph, to come over and he arrived with his toolbox o’ tricks! He was able to repair my vintage lock in a short period of time and now my lock opens/​closes easy-​breezy! Joseph was also friendly and professional!
I LOVE A-​Calimex and will definitely call again if I have any key/​lock related issues.

877-​D-​KEYMAN is open 24 hours and has a few different phone #s listed on the door of the shop. They are located on the corner of 7^th and Alimitos and even though its kinda small and creepy, the guys working here are pros and are seriously helpful.
I needed 2 key copied and the guy told me the master lock keys were totally worthless and I should get a new lock. He fixed the bent key I had for free and made a copy of another key for 2 dollars. You cant beat that. He even had some advice for us about getting the master lock open. Very nice!
