I called Rafael for an estimate. He ended up helping me the same day to change the codes on keypad deadbolt locks that came with the house I bought in addition to rekeying them. He was meticulous, patient, and friendly. Normally, I’d get multiple estimates for a job, but I had such a positive experience with him…

I had a great experience with 1 Hour Locksmith. Matt came out and rekeyed my house quickly and professionally, making sure everything worked smoothly before he left. He also installed and fully set up my Eufy video doorbell, walked me through the app, and made sure notifications and camera angles were dialed in…

I locked myself out of my garage. I no longer have the key. Locksmith opened it for me without harming the lock. Response time very fast and very professional.
