Sunshine Locksmith

I unfortunately wasn’t able to acquire his services because I got into my house before he got there. However, his customer service was very good, and the speed at which he came to my house after calling him was immediate. I would definitely call him if I have another lock-​related problem.

We have the original ancient door lock, so when it goes out it’s a real pain. Avi did everything right — answered the phone right away, showed up early, warned of possible problems, fixed it fast, tried multiple keys, was fair with pricing.
Solutions with a friendly smile! I’ll call him again … Oh! And his specialty is SAFEcracking! :-) 5 stars :-)

Very professional. Fast service. Arrived on time. Will definitely use in the future.

He’s awesome! Came to open a padlock I broke my key off in. Did it in less than 15 minutes! Professional and very good at what he does.

Great service! Fast, reliable and on time!!!
If you need a locksmith ASAP — call Avi!
Thank you Avi!

Excellent customer service, and a quality job installing a new ignition assembly and programming a new key for my Toyota. Matt is a great locksmith and very dependable to get the job done without ripping you off. Highly recommended.

Oops my girlfriend totally just locked us out of our house. Luckily I had my phone and looked up Sunshine Locksmith. Avi was on the phone when I called him and I didn’t leave a message because I was just going to call the next place on the list. He called me back before I could and got my information. He said he would be there in 20 minutes, but got there, found our parking spot in the back, unlocked the door, and processed my payment in less than 20 minutes. Would definitely call him again but hope we won’t have to.

Avi was great. He showed up within an hour and a half pretty late at night (8:30). Got right to work and had my door fixed in no time. Thanks Avi!

Sunshine locksmith was great! Avi told us what we needed to buy at Home Depot to save in the cost of our lock changes. He came by on short notice and got the job done quickly.

Sunshine Locksmith was amazing! He got there within 10 minutes of my call. My mom had been locked out of her apartment, and her landlady was traveling in a foreign country, so being able to find someone who could come over on short notice was amazing.
He was courteous, professional, and very patient all the way through the process, providing a calming presence for a stressful lock-​out situation. He explained his process as he worked, and gave reasons for why he was doing what he was doing. I always felt reassured that he was trying the most minimally invasive attempt to unlock before moving on to a more complicated attempt.
Thank you so much! I would definitely call this service again — even though I hope it never comes to that.

Avi has helped me twice in the last 2 weeks.
First time was when I locked the keys inside my car. I called him up and he was out at my car within just 15 minutes! It took him all of 2 minutes to open the car and hand me my keys.
After such a great experience with him I decided to have him install new locks in the new house. He came out and gave great suggestions about how to secure my home and also had a referral for a great alarm system guy. After we decided what to do, he came back after a couple days when the parts arrived and installed 4 new locks and 4 new knobs.
Each time he was punctual, professional, polite, and extremely friendly. Also at the end of the day his prices are very reasonable for such a stellar job.

Avi came to rescue, I have a safe that we couldn’t open. We called around to few locksmiths and all of them told us that it will be damaged. Then we called Avi he ask few questions about the safe we understand that we deal with pro. He told us he can open without making any damage and we send him our address. He arrived within 20 minutes. Open the safe in 30 minutes no damage. Then we ask Avi how he did it and all the other locksmiths told us only with damage. He is master safe cracker certified by national group of safe crackers. Avi is the kind of guy you want to call for any locksmith needs. Specially safe issues.

Avi was great! He came out last minute, was so kind and had great pricing! In my industry I need reliable people. I highly recommend him!

5 stars and 500 more for Avi! Our school’s main door jammed and Avi was in deep East Oakland within one hour. He was responsive, kind, fast and got the job done. He’s my preferred locksmith from now on!
Thank you,

Today, Avi saved my toddler and I from a very unfortunate (and sleepless) evening.
Those of you with kids might understand what it’s like when your 2 year old skips their nap. I pulled into my garage about 20mins before the ETD (estimated time of meltdown) only to discover that my keys were with my husband. I only had 1 hour to make dinner, feed my daughter, help her wash up, and put her to sleep.
I called Avi in a state of desperation after making frantic phone calls to figure out if there would be any way for my husband to leave work (1.5 hours away in rush hour traffic) early (nope) on my way to picking up dinner (which my daughter was asking for every 30 seconds at this point), and Avi arrived at my place 15mins later… 5 minutes before I even returned from picking up dinner.
He was friendly, warm, and even offered to help carry my grocery bags when he noticed I was over-​encumbered. Most importantly, he helped us back into the comfort of our home in record time… And my 2 year old was asleep less than 30mins later.
Thanks, Avi!

Called a couple locksmiths, most didn’t answer their phones, the rest wanted a lot more money for the job than Avi. I called him late on a Sunday night and he answered (even though I expect he was with his family).
We just bought a house and had 10 knobs with mostly different keys. Avi worked around my work schedule and set an appointment late Monday night. He did all 10 knobs in about 30 minutes and handed me one key for every door in my house. He was professional, courteous, and the Unilocal deal helped us save money on the already reasonable prices.

Avi helped me out and everything was hassle-​free!
I lost my keys during a trip and had to leave my car in the airport parking lot when I returned. We found Sunshine Locksmith through Unilocal and reached out for help. I gave Avi my VIN number, coordinated a meet up time, and he showed up with a key ready. All he had to do was program it and I was off. The whole thing took about 10 minutes. Thank you for the help, Avi!

Avi saved our day. He was able to arrive within an hour of calling him to pick our lock. Our dog didn’t even bark at Avi (must be Akins soul)! Extremely reasonably priced, very friendly, and super professional.

Great service! very professional. Called the morning of and Avi came within 15 minutes! He got the work done quickly at a very reasonable price.
Highly recommend if you need any locksmith service or rekeying your new home!

I was ripped off from a previous locksmith, Sunshine Locksmith is my 2^nd locksmith for fixing my door lock, the previous locksmith charged me almost $ 300.00 (cash plus credit card) and ask me to change my lock.
I contact several locksmith today, and Avi is the first one answer and give me a quote, I was happy he told me it’s only $ 75.00 to solve my problem and I don’t even need to change my lock like the previous locksmith said.
Thanks for Unilocal service help me find Sunshine Locksmith, it’s fast and honest, friendly and punctual.
I just send him photos and he could already have an idea what to do.
Perfect!
Going to recommend him to all my neighbors in Oakland.
