After a recent fire where the fire department had to break through our door we were left with a semi functioning lock. We tried to get quotes to get the door and lock fixed for a long time but were largely ignored by general contractors since its such a small project. Yesterday everything escalated because our lock…
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…
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.
I got into a jam trying to install a new smart deadbolt, and I reached out to Nova Locksmith. To my surprise, they were able to squeeze me in late in the evening. He gave me an accurate ETA and stayed in touch, and he let me how much it would cost upfront. he finished the job perfectly! what a save!! couldn’t have had a better experience.
We had locked ourselves out of the house on a Friday afternoon. We called Alex, he answered, and fit us into his cramped schedule. Incredibly responsive and friendly.
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…
Alex is super reliable and gives the best customer service! Super efficient and fast, no gimmicks and scams and I appreciate his honest work. Highly recommend for all your locksmith needs.
Alex was super helpful and replaced our door nob in 10 minutes. Thanks Alex.
I had 7 door handles and locks that were not functioning when I bought my old house. Alex came and fixed all of them with best price I could find in the Bat Area. This is the 2nd time I used his service and it never disappoints. I highly recommend.
Had an incredibly positive experience with Alex of Nova Locksmith. He was absolutely fabulous! He came when he agreed to and even called me as his earlier customer job was running a little over. I really appreciated that courtesy. He is super professional, attentive, proactive and his craftsmanship is superior. I…
On time, great communication, exactly as expected, great service. Definitely recommend!!
Our building was broken into and the lock was damaged. The part was from decades ago and hard to find but Alex pulled some strings and got it the same day for us, and installed it that very evening. Also a very friendly and super interesting guy! Highly recommend.
Great job, very friendly and knowledgeable.
Alex is a very experienced locksmith. I thought it was impossible to open the lock for my client's door, but he was able to find a creative way to open it. Totally impressed.
Wonderful communication and super easy to deal with. Really fast turnaround. Will definitely use in the future and highly recommend :-)

Highly recommend Alex. Called him in the morning, got an appointment for the afternoon to re-key some house keys, and he found an opening even earlier than that and completed the job within 3-4 hours of my call. Was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, brought all of his supplies with him in his truck. Also gave great…
