Pesce’s Safe & Lock Service

Jim Pesce came to change some locks and re-​key some others at my new rental. He answers his phone and messages promptly, and showed-​up for the scheduled appointment on time. His customer service is excellent. Two of the locks were special extra heavy duty commercial locks on a residential house. Re-​keying those locks would cost over $ 250 each by the original locksmith only. Jim Pesce recommended a much more appropriate and more affordable lockset. He even told me where to buy locksets for the best price. So, I bought the locksets directly and then, he installed them for me. His fees were very reasonable. Jim Pesce was done in less than an hour and all of the all of the keys and locks worked smooth. Considering that Jim Pesce told me what and where to buy the appropriate locks instead of trying to up-​sell me on something else is certainly a testament to his honesty and customer service. I will definitely hire Jim Pesce again.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience.
I called Pesce’s Safe & Lock Service after having called another area locksmith who was unable to give me a straight answer about their service. Despite my call being on Saturday at 6:20pm; Jim got back to in what I would guess to be approximately 5 minutes — not an underestimate. As is evidenced by my 5 star review; I am grateful to have given Pesce’s Safe & Lock Service a chance. Jim could have easily obliged my request, but was kind enough to actually listen and assess my situation. Jim’s level of honesty, communication, and customer service is a precious rarity.

When we purchased our «new» (100 year old) home recently our Realtor recommended Pesce to rekey our locks. He arrived promptly and did a great job on the locks. He did some additional repair work on one of the doors when needed and even helped with an old safe in the house. We highly recommend Pesce’s!

Super nice gentleman. Not only did he change my lock he fixed it too. The door never did lock right because it didn’t line up correctly. When he was done I didn’t have to wiggle everything to get in my office. I would certainly call on his services again.

A great experience from start to finish!
My first call into Pesce’s was after hours and I left a message on their machine (halfway expecting to not get a call back). An hour later I get a call from Jim asking the details of what I needed done.
I gave him the breakdown of the house that needed to be rekeyed (4 doors) and he said he could do it the next day. I didn’t mention it to him, but I only had 1 hour free before I had to go to my next appointment.
I showed up exactly right at the time of the appointment and he was already there waiting. He was friendly, professional and went to work on the locks right away. He finished rekeying all the locks in 45 minutes and even fixed a couple of the locks so that the doors would open smoother. I also found 2 extra deadbolts inside that needed to be rekeyed and he still finished in under an hour.
An extra star for accepting credit cards on the spot. In this day and age with Square and PayPal and the mobile card readers, it surprises me that there are still vendors that don’t accept credit cards. I’m glad Pesce’s did.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jim’s service to anyone in the area that needs a locksmith. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether a business will live up to their 5 star reviews, but Jim with Pesce’s Safe & Lock Service did for sure!

This is the best locksmith I have ever came across. He was fast, efficient, and very affordable. If you ever need any lock work done I would definitely call Pesce’s.I have used them for many years in the most recent situation Our mail box key broke inside the lock Jim was able to get the key out, remake us two new ones and lube the lock for us so we wouldn’t have a issue any more. Its been working like a charm ever since. Without hesitation I would recommend them to everyone!

Jim was a friendly guy and so helpful. I called to schedule an appointment to fix my front door lock. It wasn’t an emergency so I was able to wait a few days until it fit my schedule. He arrived on the dot. He spent less than 20 minutes on my lock. On the way out he noticed my doorbell wasn’t working. He took time out to show me what I needed to do to fix it (basically get a new battery; I didn’t know I could take the doorbell apart). Such an asset! I would use this business again if I had other lock problems.

Pesces was quick, efficient and affordable. Less expensive than others. Great longtime businessman. He came out to my house the Day after Thanksgiving to fix my old skeleton key lock to my basement. Fixed it in seconds. Added an interior knob, lubricated and tightened it. $ 60. Another midtown business quoted me 135 minimum to come out and look at it for ½ hour. Cost to go up if longer.

I called Pesce’s based on Unilocal reviews and was not disappointed — Jim came by that same day, changed 3 locks and even tightened up knobs and things. He was quick, friendly, and reasonable. Good recommendation Unilocal

Jim is prompt, professional, friendly, and knows what he is doing! Prices are very reasonable. Call him!

Jim came highly recommended from multiple people (including a major East Sacramento business) as a good locksmith to rekey our locks after we purchased our home. Jim was punctual, friendly and helpful, and got the job done in an efficient manner. I’ve yet to see his store but will definitely check it out the next time there is a need and won’t hesitate to call him the next time we need a locksmith.

Pesce’s is the only locksmith I have ever used over more than 30 years. I grew up in the neighborhood and my parents used Pesce’s, too. I have had him put in, re-​key or fix locks at every home I have lived in – once on an emergency basis, and he was there within an hour. Nice man, great work, can-​do attitude. What more could you ask? Support your locals. Small business is where it’s at.

I had a great experience with Pesce Safe and Lock Service. I needed to have several locks changed, and Pesce was prompt and thorough. He dealt with my tricky locks that hadn’t been installed properly initially, and even adjusted a door hinge that was coming loose. I’ll definitely call again!

A great little neighborhood locksmith!
This is a one-​man operation, so the store is sometimes closed while he’s out on a call. The best thing to do is call before heading over there.
I had some locks re-​keyed here. I called, left a voicemail, and the friendly owner got back to me quickly. His prices were very reasonable, too.
Love it when I can support a small, neighborhood business and get great service and a great deal to boot!
