What Our Clients Say
Don't just take our word for it — here's what our customers have to say about Buddy Locksmith.
★★★★★
"Locked my keys in the car right outside my house. Buddy Locksmith was around in 20 minutes, friendly the whole time — didn't make me feel silly about it."
★★★★★
"Had every lock in the house changed after we moved in. Felt more like dealing with a mate who happens to be a locksmith than a formal contractor."
★★★★★
"Our shop's access system failed on a Saturday morning. Buddy Locksmith came through and had it working before we opened. Really appreciated the effort."
★★★★★
"Opened a safe I thought was a lost cause without damaging it. Explained what he was doing the whole time, no rush."
★★★★★
"Locked out late at night and honestly expected to feel like a nuisance calling — instead got treated like it was no big deal at all."
★★★★★
"Replaced our locks and gave straightforward advice on what was actually worth upgrading. No pressure to spend more than needed."
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you really as friendly as the name suggests, or is that just branding?
Ask anyone who's called us at an awkward hour — no attitude, no lecture about how you should've called sooner, just help.
Do you charge a call-out fee on top of the job price?
We quote one number that covers getting to you and doing the work. No separate call-out line item to catch you off guard.
Can you cut keys while I wait, or do I need to come back later?
Standard and most security keys are cut on the spot. If something needs a special blank we don't carry, we'll tell you upfront.
Do you only do houses, or businesses too?
Both — homes are most of what we do, but we handle small business lockouts and lock upgrades just as often.
What if I'm not sure whether I need a repair or a full replacement?
That's exactly the kind of thing to just ask us on the call — we'll tell you honestly which one actually solves your problem.
