Best prices anywhere near Santa Cruz. The key for my cars cargo rack broke in the lock. They fixed it for way less then everyone else. Less than half the price of the nearest lowest quote in the area.

Great service and they had the type of keys I needed which the local hardware store did not.

George and one of his colleagues helped me figure out how to remove an older Emtek locking doorknob. George took the time to work from photos I took and one doorknob to find the correct schematics and coach me through the removal. Then, with all the parts in front of his colleague they sold me the correct replacement part for $13.50 vs. a service call and new doorknob that would have been about $165.00.

This is not the first time these folks have helped me achieve the best solution, even though it turns out to be less revenue for them. I have also made bigger purchases with them and because of all this, I trust them implicitly and will be back. Thanks!

Andrew from Brass Key came and spent a couple of hours working onsite. Our six doors used to all be on different keys - now they're all on the same key! He also adjusted the location of a deadbolt strike plate so that the bolt could be closed and unlocked a piece of furniture that had locked itself during the moving process. Andrew was friendly, professional, wore a mask and was mindful of social distancing as soon as he was asked. Hopefully we won't need their services again, but I would happily use them if needed!

My son stopped by to replace the shell on his Lexus key with remote. They made it secondary key and replaced the shell for a reasonable price

My man Mason showed up in less than TEN MINUTES and got me back on the road in time for my girlfriend's medical appointment. Guy on the phone was super friendly and Mason, the tech who freed me from my self-inflicted hell, was as well. 10/10, thanks guys

The epitome of customer service. Went to great lengths to help find parts for/restore 100+ year old door hardware (such as Sargent lock below). Super reasonable prices, enthusiastic staff, fast turnaround. I almost want to have lock problems so I can do business with them again.

Just after purchasing a home in Bonny Doon, we ask Brass Key Locksmith to come out and rekey our door locks. About an hour later one of their vans showed up and within minutes we had all new keys. Very fast, efficient, and courteous locksmiths. Thank you.

Great experience. Helped me with new transponder keys for my truck. Had to have it towed to them and was able to leave it there over night. Keys were ready by 9:00 the following am.
