Lynn’s Locksmith Service

Was referred to Lynn’s from Dixieline. The guy at Dixieline took over 20 minutes to just look for the 2 keys I needed made. Lynn’s was able to make me 7 keys in less time!

Walked in with a key broke in half, one half stuck in the lock, Jason had my two brand new keys and the lock unjammed in under 10 minutes. Very friendly! life long customer here.

Great service. My car wouldn’t start but I knew it was key and anit-​theft system issue. I called and they seemed to know exactly what was going on. I made an appointment for the next day. They showed up on time and I was happy of course because they were able to figure out the issue and cut me 2 new keys without having to go anywhere or get my car towed.

Great place! Always helpful! I work for an HOA management company and Lynn’s Locksmith has always made my life easier! They have always helped me over the phone, and for the first time yesterday I went into their store and got the same great service!

I went in today to get a key made for my scooter, for they told me at the dealer the tumblers were broken and only a locksmith could fix that.
They quoted me $ 45 dollars to fix the broken tumblers and said it would take close to 3 hours.
Not 40 minutes later i recieved a call saying it was finished and fixed, upon arrival they told me there was nothing wrong with the tumblers only a small piece of plastic inside the ignition switch. Something that should only take 5 minutes, for there are only 4 bolts securing the assembly. The lady at the desk smirked an said «Well i still had to dissassemble it, and it took me 1 hour» and continued to charge me $ 45.
If the job quoted was not performed, should the price not be lower? Angrily i just took my losses and left, upon inspection i noticed they stripped all of the bolts securing the assembly, making it impossible to ever remove.
I returned to the store and explained the problem only to get verbally assaulted by the same front counter lady. And i quote, she went on to say «the only problem is you are cheap». The money was not the issue, it was the principles of doing the job right, and not overcharging customer.
The manager came out, i explained the issue to her.
She turned and asked the lady «did we already get paid?. Answer was yes. «So there’s no problem».
And continued to say «Those bolts are not meant to be removed». If they are not meant to be removed, why try to do a task you are unable to do only to damage the customers property?.
This store and employees have done personal psychological, emotional, and most importantly as a business financial damage to me. For this reason i felt the need to write this review.

Both our front door locks were malfunctioning and we were able to get Lynn’s locksmith here the next day. We had tried another locksmith who was recommended to us but when we found out the flat rate of $ 254 just for showing up was, we shopped around. Lynn’s price was a less than a 4^th of that.
John was able to explain what the problem was and how he fixed it. Now they turn like butter, and the way a deadbolt should. And all for a very reasonable price.

I have used Lynn’s locksmith Service for over 15 years and they are the very best. I make hundreds of keys each year and they always work. The are great for new locks and re keying .

We have nothing but positive to say about this business. My wife lost the key to our 2013 Ford Edge. the dealer wanted $ 317.00 to make a new one. I found Lynn’s on Annie’s list. I called and was told the cost would be around $ 200.00. My wife showed up without an appointment and was done in less than 20 minutes. they also made duplicate keys for all the door locks that we had to replace. total cost for new car key and 5 duplicates for my house, $ 210.00. And it didn’t take all day. Dealership wanted me to make an appointment as well as leave the car all day. I will For Sure use them again. thank you!

If I could give more stars I would. Jason is the best guy in town. Helped me out so Much. Great place great people. !0 stars for this place. if u need a key or anything come to them.

Bad customer service… They’ll treat you like if you stole the key or trying to make acopy of a bank key… !!!
Tried the place couple times… same attitude…
They don’t deserve even the one star…

The Best! Every time I have needed anything for locks and the like, they have always treated me right. I have recommended them to friends for a few years and they too have very positive things to say about their workmanship, customer service and price. Extremely honest people which is hard to find in any type of businesses today. I travel from AZ now to get things that I need for my home in AZ from them. A++ in my book.

Always perfect service & always have the keys I’m looking for! Thanks for great customer service Jason! See you all soon

This place ACTUALLY HAD the «automatic key» for my 2001 Ford Explorer, and was able to program it, and replace the old one for UNDER $ 45.00 (and to think the «Quick Lane» place that referred me to them wanted to tear the driver door apart for TRIPLE that amount!). I look forward to returning to this place for my car lock needs! I live in San Diego, but WILL RETURN to this place, when I am in the area, AND in need of a car locksmith”!

We are lucky to have a small business with this capability here in El Cajon.
I’ve had many keys made at Lynn’s and have always been satisfied with the service and astounded by the locksmith knowledge.
The cost of having keys made is nothing if you look at the cost of running a small business now days. I’m sure breaking even is tough, and I’m happy to pay a little more for a key that I know will work to keep small businesses like this one open and in our town.

They are AWESOME !!!
The first time I was there (a little while ago)
I needed to make copies of my key for my bike
They were so nice and was in and out in a few minutes !!
THIS time, I need it a lock for my mail box and
I went to Home Depot and Ace hardware store
(I don’t know why !!!)
And not only I Wasted my time there, they gave me the wrong lock. Twice, even though I brought the lock with me !!!
So I remember what a great customer service
I got when I got my bike’s keys so I returned
To Lynn’s locksmith service
And it literally took them seconds to find the EXACT
Lock I was looking for and I didn’t even bring the lock with me !!! Everybody there is friendly and
I will recommend this place to anybody I know !!

Amazing, I will start with why I came in. I needed four keys made for my husband fork lifts, i had already gone 3 places that could not make any of the keys. Came here and all 4 keys made for $ 10 in less that 3 minutes!
Here comes the best part… like the genius I am… I LOCKED MY KEYS IN MY CAR, yup right outside the locksmith. Tossed them on the seat and locked her up.
Luckily for me the customer service here really goes above and beyond, the man helping me was able to make a key just by looking at my key sitting on my seat. Most places would not even attempt this I am sure, let alone actually accomplish it. It took him quite a few tries, but he never quit! It took about 30 minutes and in the end he only charged me a few dollars for the key. I could not possibly be more pleased with the folks here. i drive a fairly new car and nothing about it is every easy, the last time i locked my key in my car it took the Roadside assistance people 3 hours to get me back in.
I would recommend them to anyone, again and again. I hope they get amazing karma points for their wonderful service today.

The service was very fast and friendly. The guy got me out of there with two new (standard generic) keys in less than five minutes for only $ 4, and they both work perfectly.
They didn’t have the specific key I was looking for, but that’s not really their fault since it’s been discontinued. Other than that, the selection was pretty varied. Not as extensive as the photos on here indicate, but still very good.
I would definitely go back there with any other key-​copying needs that may arise.

Fantastic service! J.D. cut me some backup ignition keys for my motorcycle. Quick, courteous service. VERY reasonably priced. I’m glad I was referred to them!

In and out in less than 3 minutes! Fast, friendly service. I didn’t know that you had to go to a locksmith only to get a «do not duplicate» key. After being turned away at Walmart and a local hardware store I was sent to Lynn’s. Got a copy of my house key made on to a «do not duplicate» blank for only $ 2.

I came in the other day to get a copy of a key. The lady got me in and out in about 5 minutes but when I got home, the key didn’t open my door. So I went back to the store and I told the man that was there what happened. He took my original key and made me another key. This time the key worked perfectly.
The lady was very friendly and nice. When I went back the man didn’t seem to happy about having to make me another key though.
For two copies it was $ 3.80. And all of their key chains and accessories are fairly priced.
