    I used this company for rekeying a small commercial building with approximately 50 keys for 6 executive suites with interior offices. They showed up on time, worked efficiently and rekeyed various locks with no issues. The price was reasonable and service was excellent. I recommend them very much !

    I had a great experience here. Al went above and beyond to help me copy a couple of keys. Some people leaving negative reviews just don't understand how much things like car keys cost these days. Would absolutely go back. As of writing this, they are under renovation, but remain open.

    Constantly breaking lock. He recommended a commercial lock for the iron gate for only a few dollars more and now I'm hopeful it will stop breaking. He had me send a photo of the lock so he could bring all the necessary parts. He was very fast, neat and explained options well. What a relief to find such a good locksmith nearby! Came super quickly to address the issue with our lock. Fixed the problem in less than hour. Grateful that our door is now working correctly.

    Thanks for the help!

    Fast and friendly service. Very professional and reasonable pricing. They offer a variety of services: duplicating keys, "do not duplicate" keys. As well as home services: they come to your house to rekey home locks and make new sets of keys on site in their well equipped trucks. In store: Chris is the best! Highly recommend!

    Need to cut a key with an uncommon blank quickly and at a great price with an appreciative and helpful locksmith?

    Lance is your man!


    I was turned down by Home Depot, KeyMe, and a local independent locksmith, who all said they didn’t have the blank for my key.


    This other locksmith referred me to Bellflower Lock & Safe, where Lance was able to

    identify the blank within seconds without computer assistance, share a couple of details about the company behind it (which explained a LOT about my situation) and cut 5 copies within...was I even there a whole 5 minutes? I’m spending more time writing this review!


    I added some identifier key tags to my purchase — lots from which to choose — and with an exchange of friendly smiles I was on my way.


    I would definitely recommend BLS to others and come again!

    I called yesterday morning to get a broken lock repaired at my industrial building a few blocks away. The locksmith came out on time a couple of hours later. He diagnosed the problem and gave us a quote. The price was very reasonable and we had him do the work. The gentleman was very courteous and professional with obvious experience and got the job done quickly. I will definitely call Irvine Lock and Key for my future needs.

    Motorcycle rider review...Just had two spare keys cut for the Ducati ignition lock (2005 Monster; special groove style cut) but I did have to order the blanks myself. Previously I had keys cut for RC51, Harley, and Kawi Concourse 14 tank cap. All work. This place is my go-to locksmith shop.

    I needed Access Control on my business and several doors re-keyed. I found SCSC through a referral and couldn't be happier. I worked with Geoff and Dave getting the project designed and scheduled for installation. Daniel was one of the installers and was a pleasure to work with also. He was courteous, showed up on time and made sure everything was cleaned up when they were finished. We now have electronic locks installed that help us control the flow of people in and out of our business.  We also have a master key to all of the doors in the building so we're no longer carrying a giant key ring around. We couldn't be happier with the service we received and will definitely recommend SCSC to our friends and associates.

    I showed up to have a duplicate key made for a newer Tacoma. Ended up down to one key and that wasn’t me feel good about prospects of losing the last key.

    I really couldn’t have had better experience -

    Duplicate made on the spot. Anyone can cut the key but not many can or would program it. This place had the machine.

    Prices significantly lower than any place in a zip radius. Trust me, I called around.

    Easy painless experience, no appointments, no waits, no big bill.

    I will keep this place in mind next time I have any key issues.

    This is one of few businesses that cuts keys for vehicles. Came in today (July 24th) at 4:45 PM to get 3 spares made for my motorcycle. Two gentleman greeted me and they got right to work. We talked about cars and motorcycles while they were making my keys, which ultimately made me feel super welcome. These guys deserve a raise. Thank you for helping me out!

    I had Kustom Locksmith Services from Laguna Hills fix my front door hardware, and they were wonderful.


    ​I'd originally used another locksmith with very unsatisfactory results.​ After two attempts by them, I called Kustom Locksmith. Within 40 minutes my door was operating​ perfectly. ​​ And they even made me a couple of keys. They charged me less than the original outfit too.


    I will make a point of using Kustom Locksmith Services in the future.

    My car key broke, I went there with my wife on a late Friday evening and the dude was very patient with us. He cut the key, he wasn't sure if it will work as the blade I had with me was not the correct one, but he managed to make it work and saved my Memorial Day weekend. Thanks.
