Parker Security & Locksmith Service

My experience here wasn’t so bad. The old man made sure which key I had and was somewhat helpful to not mess up on these keys I bought online. The tips of the cut on the keys weren’t perfect, but a little grinder at home fixed the job. New keys just have to be broken in to properly work smoothly.

I lost my only spare car key on Saturday in Downtown Mountain View and let me tell you, trying to get a new one, has been the most annoying process ever. It took me 2 car dealership to get a blank key and went to 6 locksmith only to find out that they were no longer in business. Finally, I came across a family business, Parker Security & Locksmith Service in Fremont. I was welcomed by two sweet little boys who made sure their mom could make me a new key and that they could solve any problem. While I waited for their mom to call for a key code, they taught me about the different types of keys and how they use different methods to approach a customer and amongst other stuff. Finally, I told their mom that her kids were amazing and I wished I had their personality and their communication skills at their age. P. S. The 8 year old boy made sure I left with a business card. Definitely a place I would go back.

I needed to replace lost keys for the side cases on my BMW K1200RS motorcycle and reluctantly decided to try a locksmith. After having seen Parker’s facility on Grimmer on numerous times, I decided to stop in and give them a try.
I found their showroom well lit, well stocked (not just keys but all types of high quality security items; safes, bicycle locks, etc) and well organized.
Gene waited on me and provided an estimate for the price and schedule to complete. He shared risks/​benefits of various options and I agreed to having two new keys done.
Early the next day I picked up the finished keys which fit both BMW side case locks perfectly and the price was very reasonable.
All staff members were personable, professional, and knowledgeable when asked various locksmith questions.
I highly recommend Parker Security.

I was there last week and Gene helped me. I was asking for a car key to be copied to a key I purchased online. It’s the type of key with the remote attached to the key. I had a blank key, with the remote casing empty. I was going to remove the remote’s original guts and install them myself into the new key’s casing. Gene told me that he could do it for a price of $ 10. I said sure because of the trouble that the chip may cause. Gene showed me how the remote buttons (on the inside) worn down due to my daughter’s nails. The plastic cover wore down due to constant pressing of the button. But, Gene was able to manufacture a piece of plastic to correct the button’s defect. Gene then was able to recover the original key code and made my car key. He showed me the original key and how much the key had wore down compared to the key code. Once I got home I tested the remote and the car started immediatly. Great customer service Gene, thanks.

Just got keys done from Parker security 3 minutes ago.
(Update: this was a long time ago that I drafted this email just never got the chance to post it)
I first called centerville locksmiths yesterday because Parker was closed. Centerville seemed like jerks so this morning I called Parker and everyone was friendly. Ed, Harry, and the lady (sorry I forgot your name!) were all very nice. They gave me a great deal and were right around the block so I asked them to do the job.
They came by 15 minutes later and the mailman was there just by luck so they didn’t have to open up the community box on their own (good thing it wasn’t my normal mailman who is a prick and was extremely rude when I told him my situation last week. I didn’t even ask to grab mail from him. Anyways that’s a whole other story). But that basically saved me even more money which was great.
Ed finished the job in about 10 minutes, I got my keys, paid by square, and that was done. Finally got all my mail… And bills.
Thanks guys!

Excellent service, speaks English good prices great selection quick and nice service.

I had a ’62 Dodge truck door lock in need of reconfiguring to accept my key.
After calling many companies only to hear «We don’t do that» or «You’re looking at $ 190 for us to come to you» I was getting discouraged.
Last week as I was working making deliveries, my stop was right next to Parker Security. I decided to give them a try.
Ed Lind, who happened to be at his van listened to my situation and said to bring it in. I brought the lock in with a key the next day. He said he didn’t think it would be too hard to fix. He said it would be done the next day.
The lock fits my key perfect and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I work with commercial properties and I’ve been using Parker Security for close to 7 years now. They’ve always been there. On short notice, 2 days notice or no notice emergency situations. Great folks that are a pleasure to work with.
