High Security Locksmith

I had initially called another company first but they were charging $ 80 just to come out. Then I called High Security Locksmith and they quoted me $ 40, so of course I cancelled my initial call. Tal came pretty quick, maybe 20 minutes after my call and discovered my lock was broken. He was quick to replace it and conveniently made me 3 copies of my key. Total including tip put me over $ 200 which is a bit pricey but I’m still very grateful for the quick help!
Bonus — he was very nice to my dog and was able to drill and do the job even with my dog sniffing him all over :)

Yesterday Me and my girlfriend wee been at the city in a restaurant when we just finish our dinner at the place its was really good and everything was perfect until we get to our car whoops we forget the key at the front seat, I checking out on Unilocal to get any help to open our car I sow high-​security locksmith, I called to the number on the ad and the person was very pleasant and kind and he came like he said 10 – 15 min (also it’s was in late time) the price was reasonable and the service was great i’m definitely recommend that company to anyone that lockout

I got locked outside of my house last night I called high security locksmith
Tal came immediately (10 – 15 min) open my door in another two minutes (without any damage!!)
very professional and highly recommended!!!

I work in a condo and a resident gets locked out.
Called a couple of locksmiths that were supposed to be open ²⁴⁄₇? Tal answered on the 3^rd ring. Took the guys cc# and was on site in less than 30min. And Osh who arrived, left as quick. It’s nice to know when you really need help, even @ 3:30 am :)

Locked myself out of my apartment grabbing groceries. Showed up in 15 minutes and was able to pick my lock without any damage and without having to drill it. Extremely reasonable price and excellent customer service. Thank you for saving me!

Its sunday afternoon in Berkeley. Im picking up food for my job when i remember I’ve locked my keys in the car. I give two places a call and the first quotes me $ 80 flat. This place tells me it’s $ 25 to drive out plus labor to open the door. I own a 2002 chevy prizm, so it shouldn’t have been too expensive, or so i Thought.
5 stars because he showed up in about 20minutes, i was out of the area in 25 – 30. So A+ for speed and efficiency.
Minus 2 stars for 2 reasons:
1. When i called, i was quoted $ 25 for the drive out plus labor. After he got it open he says its $ 45 for the drive out «because its sunday» and $ 80 for labor. Coming to $ 125!
2.When i paid with a credit card, he says its 6% more. Came to a total of $ 132.50. Almost $ 40 more than the other place.
3. Had i known he was going to charge $ 80 for labor alone, i would have called the other company.
I really just don’t like the whole bait and switch routine. Please don’t quote me one thing on the phone and charge nearly double when you arrive. Its bad business.

Most awesome locksmith experience I have had (out of probably 3 – 4 lifetime). Locked myself out with nobody around to let me in. Tal came over quick, picked the lock without damaging it, and the price seemed reasonable (tho I don’t know what to compare it to). Would call again.

Tal just left. It’s 11:53 pm. I came home and found my deadbolt on my front gate no longer worked. Small chance getting to sleep with that situation. I phone a number of locksmiths before I found him. He answered the phone himself… in person. He arrive here within 30 minutes and fixed the gate in less then that time. It did cost me 125.00 but: it’s raining, it’s almost 12:00 and he was prompt and efficient. A lot of money but as far as I’m concerned, well worth it to have peace of mind to go to sleep after a hellish day. Recommended highly.

Super quick, professional, and reasonably priced. Will definitely use again next time I lock myself out.

Incredible service! I locked myself out with my elderly dog of all nights on Halloween, and the locksmith was here within 10 minutes to help out. Very friendly and affordable, given the circumstances. Will definitely recommend.

I got locked out of my apartment last night and called few locksmiths but was told I had to wait at least 30min to 1 hr for a technician to come or call me back. I called High Security Locksmith and they said they would be at my apartment within 15min. The technician was at my place even a little sooner! He was super friendly, professional and was able to open my door within a few minutes! Great service — fast, friendly, knowledgable and affordable!

Um yeah you did. You guys even tried to call me 3 times after, but didn’t want to talk. Bad service is bad service, just learn from it and move on.

Tal was great! He was at my place within 10 – 15 minutes and only took about 5 minutes to get my door unlocked. There was a little miscommunication with pricing, but he made sure that I was refunded the difference in price. Very easy to work with!

Tal came within 10 min of my call and got my apt door open within 15 min. No damage to the lock, no damage to the door. I have him on speed-​dial now. Thank you!

I got locked out of my car so I called High Security Locksmith and it literally took them 5 mins to show up. Very fast! Thumbs up to them for that. Tal was the one who helped me. Very kind and it took him about 10 to 15 mins to open my door.

Of course Locksmiths are a bit shiesty by nature, so I don’t know what else to expect from any of them. If I could, I would go back and not call them and try someone else, though I suspect the results would be similar.
Pros: Answered my call immediately. No message service or voicemail; this was 11:30pm at night, so that was appreciated. He also arrived in 10 minutes; this was also very much appreciated, no one likes hanging outside of their home waiting.
Cons: Con is such a perfect word. I inquired about the fee for him to unlock the door as soon as I called. He told me a $ 35 fee to come out and then a fee depending on the type of lock (I assumed this to be effort and tools.) Knowing that all it took was a hook under the door to pull down the lever from inside, I incorrectly assumed this was «easy». When he arrived, he looked at the lock cylinder and said «type A» high security, it will be $ 250, but I’ll give you $ 30 off, so $ 255 in total (or something in that ballpark). BS. The lock doesn’t matter, all he will be doing is putting a hook under the door and pulling the handle. After some heated negotiations, we agreed on $ 155 in cash. Less than a minute later, and not even touching the lock, it was open. He then had the gall to ask if we wanted him to recore the lock. Sure, I want to give you more of my business.
Lesson — negotiate ahead of time with him and let him know you’ll pay $ 75 and not a dollar more. If he says no move on to the next company.

When I called High Security Locksmith, they told me they have a $ 35 service fee and the unlocking charge depends on the lock. I asked, «so what’s the range for everything?» and they said, «between $ 55 and $ 120.» I said OK. BIG MISTAKE. They came out promptly (appreciated), were able to unlock the door in about 10 seconds without damaging it (also appreciated), but in between those two things charged me $ 155.00 because «the service fee is not included in the price I quoted you.» What??? We protested and this guy said, «Oh, if you want me to leave, pay me $ 35 and I will.»
Basically this guy comes out and then completely screws you so you have to pick between (1) him charging you more than he quotes, or (2) paying him just to leave, which he knows you won’t do. If there’s a problem, I guarantee you it will be «your misunderstanding,» not his. Never mind the fact that they are in the locksmith business, so just may be in a better position to prevent locksmith price «misunderstandings» than customers.
I may seem frustrated at this experience. It’s because we had another locksmith scheduled to come out who said he would charge $ 120 for everything, and after I spoke with High Security Locksmith I actually called that other company and canceled them. But of course High Security Locksmith had the lowest quote — they didn’t honor it (as they made very clear, ‘I misunderstood them’). I guess I misunderstood that they charge $ 35 more than their competitors for the exact same job, or that I would have to pay them just to leave if I didn’t want to be up-​sold. I made a mistake picking this company.

Tal from High Security Locksmith is a complete life saver! I’ve used his service twice and was very happy both times. I called during rush hour and he was still able to arrive within 10 minutes. Most importantly, he was able to get through my high-​security lock in a couple minutes.
He made the lockout experience as painless as possible. Highly recommended for expertise & great customer service!

I made the classic mistake of leaving keys behind in the apt… note to self do not attempt to leave house when talking on the phone.
Tal was very prompt and was able to get through my high-​security lock in less than 5 minutes. a total lifesaver!

A great night ended with complete bad luck. I didn’t lock myself out, but instead my doorknob was stuck. Total bummer.
Called one company around midnight, and an hour and a half later the still didn’t arrive and ignored my calls. My dog was crying inside as he needed to be walked and he’s a puppy, and I was ready for bed and cranky. I was bordering tears when I called high security. They said they’d be here in fifteen, but Tal came in ten! He had me back in in five minute after his arrival, and offered to help fix my door.
It was really expensive, and more than I had ever paid in the past, but I’ve never had someone come so fast. Thank you!
