      I'm thrilled with First Lock and Security's customer service and quality work. My key broke in my front door, and I was hesitant to call a locksmith due to a bad experience with another company. But First Lock and Security proved to be different. Gary, the owner, promptly sent a locksmith, Anthony, who was friendly, professional, and skilled. He answered my questions and completed the job in 20 minutes, charging much less than the previous locksmith. For locksmith needs, call First Lock and Security. Great service, quality work, exceptional value and friendly professionalism guaranteed!

      + Older house witha deadbolt that just spun around. I'm concerned that the door might need to be replaced.I worked with Gary off and on for several months to fit in time and not inconvenience guests. I wanted to move to a smart lock, but I was uncertain how long implementation would take.
      So much faster and painless than I imagined! Anthony does excellent work and installed both front and back new locks in about an hour! Old door worked fine. Reset deadbolt so same key works on both. Excellent, on-time at site (beat me there!) Highly recommend!

      Fast, friendly service while I waited. The lock on my portable safe had jammed so I couldn't unlock it. It didn't cost me an arm and a leg to get it opened and operational again.

      The guys at First Lock & Security Technologies made keys for my 1951 Dodge Coronet I'm restoring. I'm very happy to not have to replace the original lock. I'm looking forward to years of use with these keys! Besides the skilled work they performed for me, I also recieved great customer service.

      We have been having problems for years with our 12 year old front door Baldwin deadbolt key lock. We decided to check our Diamond Certified book to see if we could find a locksmith. The only one in the latest updated book was First Lock in Los Altos.

      I called last week and spoke to owner, Gary Lekan, explained our problem, and he said he could send one of his techs out to fix the problem. We discussed his charges and scheduled an appointment for first call, 8am, this morning .

      Right on schedule, Anthony arrived. After demonstrating the problem we were experiencing, Anthony took the lock apart and diagnosed that it was a broken cylinder. He went out to his mobile van for a few minutes and returned after replacing the part. He reinstalled the lock and "voila" the key worked smoothly and perfectly. We didn't even have to have new keys made.

      I also received a 10% Senior Discount on the part.

      If you are ever in need of a 5 star locksmith, don't hesitate to call Gary at First Lock and Security Technologies.

      Speedy, same day service. Excellent work, excellent communication. Prompt, painless, high quality. We had 3 doors to realign/rekey on our 100-year old rental cottage, and a bad key from another locksmith. Will was so cheerful and efficient. Thank you Will and Gary!!

      With First Lock we had one of the greatest, smoothest, and most efficient experiences we've ever had with a company. The results were awesome!

      We had a problem with our very old front door knob and when Will of First Lock came to the rescue, he showed us our options.

      We ended up replacing our old front door lock and door handle with a new door handle and lock. We ordered the new front door fixtures and handles and new handles for other doors that very day.

      In addition, Will fixed a side kitchen door lock we were having trouble with.

      Within no time at all the order arrived and everything was installed!

      We were so thrilled with the beautiful new look of our old front door with those brushed brass fixtures!

      It made our old front door look new! We placed the same handles on our entry way closet door, our kitchen door and our double kitchen pantry doors. (See photos.)

      When we decide to get the rest of our our old door knobs replaced in the house or have any kind of issue with our locks or security, we know we will be turning to this fantastic company.
