South Bay Lock

My review is a bit late, as I used them at the beginning of August. I called for an appointment to have my locks replaced on the house I had just purchased… They were able to accommodate my time and met me at the house as soon as I received the keys! The worker was very professional and courteous and was even able to make specific «gardner keys» for the gates… Would recommend to anyone in the area!!!

Quick, easy, $ 10 cheaper than the shop across the street. Win, win.
Great job!
They fixed a old locking mechanism for my classic car. $ 15, done in 10 mins, saved me a headache.

I found South Bay lock thru a referral from my usual lock smith that did not cut the type of key I needed. I had purchased the aftermarket blank from Amazon only to find South Bay lock stocks the factory blanks for the same price I paid on line.
The owner, James knows the automotive security side of this business like no other lock smith I’ve dealt with before. I am long since retired from the automotive industry and our conversation was stirring up recollections and facts of the progression and generations of factory automotive theft security so I know that he knows his stuff! James also left me with a plethora of knowledge I didn’t have when I walked into his store.
James and his staff will walk you thru your situation and you will come out a knowledgeable and informed customer.
South Bay lock and security is my new lock smith for my automotive needs and emergency’s.

An odd day came across when I lost my single key to my car in shopping center! How can I drop and lose a key 60 ft from my car to Wing’s stop picking up lunch for the office?!? I flipped my car and the street upside down and still can’t find the damn key! I was afraid to leave the car alone to go get my spare key at home (and no one was at home to help me) because what if someone was watching and picked up the key and just waiting for me to leave so they can take off with my car… I mean «What If, right?»
So I called AAA for help and they send George & Joey’s Locksmith to
me. They got to me in 90 long, hot and dreadful minutes, they arrived in a van. Unbelievable that they made a key without «a» «key»! Astonished they removed my door knob and program one w/​their equipment and program a brand new chip in the key on the ignition. (I thought only the car dealership can do this!) Within 20 minutes, the a brand new key was made!!! TA DA!.. Voila! as easy as 1,2,3! Cost me more then 1,2,3 though. $ 250! but Triple A covered $ 60bucks of it! Although it was a break in the piggy bank, but it was all worth it!. Fast and effective service, and most of all didn’t even know that service was available and legal… LOL!
