Very responsive. Professional.
I had an excellent experience and cannot recommend Alex highly enough! I needed my sliding door lock repaired urgently, and he came out on very short notice to help. Instead of rushing through or suggesting an unnecessary replacement, he took the time to properly diagnose the issue, helped me order the parts needed,…
Alex was a great communicator, on-time, and did exactly what we asked quickly and at a competitive price. I’ll be happy to call him for our next locksmith needs.
Alex was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and quick. We hired him to rekey our new home and install a smart lock. We will use him again if we ever need locksmith services. We highly recommend him!
Alex is an angel angel angel We have domestic family issue and Alex from nova locksmith came to the rescue and also installed a keypad lock as I always wanted I feel so bad because he’s next appointment got impacted since this entire drama happen to take way longer then expected he was patient and such a gentleman
Did an amazing job rekeying and factory-resetting two older Schlage locks. Would definitely recommend!
We open another location for a Pilates and we needed to change and add security to our door. It is a commercial Adam’s rite lock and they helped us rekey, the gentleman who helped us. His name was Alex very affordable and they helped us beef up the unit with a security plate and they will also come back to install…
He re keyed our doors. Was great!
My tenant lost his keys, unfortunately because he had a car breaking, and we called feed locksmiths to check for prices. Nova locksmiths were the most attractive pricewise I always shop around. It’s important. Some of the other locksmiths were also identical price, but Alex was the most knowledgeable guy and he was…
I’ve worked with Alex and Nova Locksmith a few times now, and every time he’s been a pleasure to work with! He’s been responsive, available quickly, and available to answer my questions. Nova is my go-to locksmith for the Bay!
Alex was fantastic and very nice and professional. And he saw a chance to improve the security of my entry lock too, by adding notches to the key with a rekey. I wouldn’t have known to do that and he spotted it instantly just by looking at my key. And he was very fast and effective with the copies of my keys I requested. Highly recommend
Had a great experience! Alex and his team are wonderful, responsive, professional, and got the work done quickly with care.
Replaced our front door lock. Very responsive and professional service - and was available in the evening. Provided as many keys as we needed for the lock we had updated. Great work. I strongly recommend Nova Locksmith!
Alex did an amazing job he was very knowledgeable about the different locks I needed replaced. I would definitely recommend him to others!
Alex did an incredible job at our Blue Bottle coffee in Berkeley California. We have a handicap push button that he repaired and also changed the keys at our commercial push panic device. Also, we were missing a screw. He was able to get that.
Great locksmith. He expertly replaced the malfunctioning lock and was very helpful throughout. Very knowledgeable too.
Alex responded quickly and arrived when he estimated. He works quickly explaining keys and locks as I've never been told before. It was fascinating. He solved my problem but more interestingly he solved a long standing mystery of why one door in my house would "lock itself". Even the local locksmith who installed it…
Alex from Nova Locksmith is incredible! He professionally and expediently made a repair for me in very short notice. And he is so friendly and helpful. You are awesome Alex!
Great service will use again. Very responsive and good prices. Thank you!
Alex was the only person who responded to my initial inquiry quickly and courteously. I had reached out via Yelp's project tool, and none of the other locksmith companies responded as quickly or as clearly as Alex. (In fact, I believe Alex was the only one to actually read through the details I had left.) He asked…
