“I had a great experience at Sherman Oaks Lock & Smith. I needed to duplicate my house keys and the process was smooth from start to finish. Andrew helped me out and was quick, efficient, and professional. No issues at all the keys worked perfectly. It’s always nice finding a place that gets the job done right without wasting your time. Highly recommend if you need key copies or locksmith services.”

“Andrew is the actual best. We were in a rush and he was able to make several copies of keys for us so quickly. I went to a different place before this and they messed up our keys. They have a wide range of fun keys to pick from too! So grateful and will be coming back!”

“Needed a duplicate key fob for a Lexus and replacement house keys. Andrew helped me and was able to get me set up in under 30 minutes. $275 for the fob felt reasonable after Lexus quoted higher. Definitely would come back.”

“Andrew is super helpful & kind. I purchased & had a security lock installed a couple of years ago. I lost the key and had copy made using the card… recently our condo installed new doors so I am going through the process again. I saved the keys and card and that is saving me money. Honestly this business is awesome and everyone i have encountered is always kind & knowledgeable. I would honestly use them every time and will also purchase a home safe. They are never pushy just informative. Sometimes it is expensive to be cheap and they may cost more than a run of a mill lock but very reasonably priced for the quality”

“Let me tell you about my experience with LEO and Sherman Oaks Lock And Safe and how Leo came to the rescue. I am a caregiver and i went to help a 95 year old patient. That day i ended up losing my key fob to my car somewhere in his house and it has been a nightmare up until today. I had to use my backup key and it worked sluggishly. It worked so sluggishly that i would just leave my car open to not have to deal with the hassle of is it going to unlock the door OR NOT. I also checked the Mercedes Dealership Encino and they told me the key would be $650 and if they needed to program it , it might be more. Also as if it couldn’t get any worse, while I was parked at another patients house someone saw my car was unlocked and politely went in and took my dash cam and also my car amp, at least they didn’t tear my car up. So all this happened to me while i was trying to help someone else. Anyway today was the day that i was tired of this being an issue so i called Leo. Leo came to me and in under 30 minutes I had a brand new key. He is so fast, and his customer service was awesome. I would highly recommend Leo and Sherman Oaks Lock And Safe because of how he treated me. It had been over two months of me stressing , calling people and getting quotes, and Leo solved my problem immediately. People if you need a key call him directly and he will take care of you. No upsell, no BS, no stress. Leo gets the job done Wow i feel much better now. I highly highly recommend. Wow Wow Wow.”
