Erik responded very rapidly via text to my request for a quote, and was able to schedule my non-emergency appointment for within 48 hours. I had an older Schlage keypad lock that I wanted to put to use; it had been sitting in an open box in my garage for years. Erik installed it, and then we discovered that somewhere along the way, the backup key had disappeared. So he cut new keys for me, at a very low price. He also installed three Charley bars on my sliding glass doors, and was done with everything in less than an hour. He was kind and gracious and professional, very patient with navigating the construction-related mess in my house, and understanding about not letting my cats into a particular room. Very reasonable rates--I'd hire him again in a heartbeat.

It is not easy to get a key made during a pandemic. I had to leave town ASAP because of a death in the family and needed a key for last minute pet care. I went to 3 places. Two had closed signs posted during business hours and the third didn't have the key I needed. I made a Hail Mary call on a weekday evening before giving up for the day and Erik was a block away from my apartment 5 minutes later. He made two keys for me and was very kind and empathetic while I talked about my day of struggling to get a spare key. It look all of 4 minutes. His prices are fair and both keys work beautifully. Thank you so much.

10 Stars!!! Great experience with Eric, owner of Sound Lock & Key. He was very professional, friendly, and did a fantastic job installing a double deadbolt and changing a door knob. He was very responsive when I contacted him and cleaned the floor after installation. I had first contacted Ballard Lock & Key and the owner Bob was impatient on the phone (he said it was very frustrating to speak with me because I didn’t have much knowledge of the technical terms (really??). Btw, Sound Lock & Key price was much better than Ballard Sound Lock & Key. I will only do business with Sound Lock & Key moving forward!

Needed to get my car unlocked and called a different locksmith, but they were too busy so they recommended Sound Lock and Key. I called at around 8:45 and I believe he was here by 9:15 so excellent time wise. Quoted me 98$ over the phone and it was 108$ when I paid but I am assuming I either misheard him or there are some small card fees, either way, a relief when so many other locksmith places will quote you one thing and then charge you double that. I am giving five stars because service was prompt, price was as described, and he was a very normal guy (aka did not creep/weird me out). Overall good!

Contacted Erik with a non urgent issue with our main entry door to the dental office I manage. He was prompt in his response, forthcoming with his estimate and had next day availability. Arrived on time and was courteous and conscious of covid-19 precautions, which is so important, especially in a healthcare facility like us. He completed the job as asked and when we changed our minds, was receptive and changed the service to accommodate our request. Will be keeping his card around for use at the office as well as any emergency needs we might have. Would recommend.

It was late at night, cold and in the middle of Winter and we were locked out at our remote beach cabin on the Olympic Peninsula. Knowing Erik from the Ballard Elks, we gave him a call and he talked us through how to enter our cabin. On another occasion, Erik assisted with adding new door handles and locks for a remodel in Seattle. Both times, Erik was responsive, patient and thorough with his work. I recommend Erik as your go-to professional for getting out of any jam.

Erik is a total lifesaver! I tried and failed to install new doorknobs and deadbolts all throughout my new home and was prepared to pay an arm and a leg for a locksmith. Erik came out less than 2 days after I messaged him and had all of my new hardware installed in less than an hour, and for such an affordable price. He also did some extra work to get one of them installed that another company told me I would have to pay upwards of $500 for. Highly highly recommend!

We called Erik on Friday and he set up an appointment immediately. He was available on the same day. Erik arrived promptly and rekeyed our house within 40 minutes (5 locks). He was fast, professional, and very easy to work with. He even gave us two "fancy keys" (Baldwin) that feel like true homeowner keys, with larger key caps, instead of the usual smaller key cap. He gave us an itemized invoice and was courteous and respectful. Highly recommended.

I called him in a somewhat desperate mood because I had already taken the locks out of my doors to be rekeyed and the place I was intending to go was unexpectedly closed with no notice. He answered right away, offered to meet me after he finished his next job in a public parking lot near my house (he’s mobile!), and did the work much faster than I expected. I 100% recommend him. He was very helpful, friendly, easy to work with, and did a great job.

Locked myself out of my apartment late last evening. Erik quoted me the exact price over the phone (no consulting fees or price ranges, just gave me a flat rate and that was that). He arrive about 15 minutes after I called and got me back inside about 10 minutes after that. On top of it all he made me a spare key before taking off. A-one, 100% highly recommended.

Erik was absolutely fantastic! He was super responsive, came to our home the same day and fixed our dead bolt and door lock within 30 minutes! He wore a mask, vacuumed up the mess and wiped everything down with a Clorox wipe before leaving. PLUS, he charged a very fair price. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know -- in fact I already have!

Eric replaced my boat’s ignition keys same day ! Very prompt, professional, and quick. For what a nightmare it was losing my keys, it was such a delight to work with such great Locksmith professional such as Eric! I’ll definitely be letting everyone I know to use Eric for all their locksmith needs.

Wow, I wish more home repair and contractors were as professional and honest as SLK! They showed up on time, respected social distancing correctly, and were a pleasure to deal with. I had 9 locks re-keyed for my house and it was much cheaper than replacing all 8 door locks and the garage door lock.

I called Erik on Friday afternoon , he came in an hour and fixed and rekeyed the back door problem that had dogged me for more than a year .Efficient , kind . He even made me a free large arthritis key at the end, as well as suggesting his favorite no-fail lock lubricant product .

I got locked out of my house at 9:30 p.m. on a Saturday night during the height of the COVID pandemic. Erik came in 30 minutes, had complete COVID protocols including mask, gloves, and bleach wipes, repaired my lock and wiped everything down. He was excellent. I highly recommend!

Eric was great. Showed up right on time, was super fast and polite, and explained everything he was doing. He helped us reinstall all new locks and troubleshooted an old garage door lock we didn't have the key to anymore. 10/10 would call him for any needs we have in the future.

Erik from Sound Lock & Key was fantastic! He had the lowest quoted prices in the area to get my locks rekeyed, and once he was here he went above and beyond to make sure my locks worked right, without charging any extra. I'll be going to him with any locksmith needs!

Erik is great, responsive, responsible and he cares. He rekeyed 5 locks, installed 4 deadbolts, all schlange encode and did that in less than 1h. On my speed dial for locksmiths... Others quote you different quotes for normal deadbolts vs digital, for no good reason.

Extremely professional, fast, and very reasonable prices! We called him after our car was broken into and suspected a set of keys was taken. He was there within an hour to replace the locks on our house, and finished in 30 minutes. Highly, highly recommend!

Sound Lock & Key is who you hire for your business or home. I've used Erik to install new keyless entry locks on our AirBnB and garage. He's also rekeyed mailbox and auto keys for me There's not a lock he can't pick!

I would HIGHLY recommend this business! Erik was able to fit me in for a same day appt & was so nice, professional, & super quick! Will definitely be going back & recommending friends for any lock or key needs

Erik was a great help! He came out the same day to replace rekey locks when I purchased a new home. He even made fast friends with my dogs! Definitely will be a repeat customer next time I need help!

Erik quickly came to the rescue after my daughter got her car key stuck in the lock. He got the key out and gave us a great rate as the issue was easily solved. I highly recommend his services!

Eric is so nice and professional! Saved my life and soooo helpful,don't use the number 1 in Google. if you are in this area, please call Eric for any door/lock stuff, you won’t be disappointed!

Erik was amazing! Professional, courteous, timely, and reasonably priced. He repaired a mortise lock that had a small screw sheared off internally and rekeyed some locks. Highly recommend!

100% worth the reviews on here! Ive been locked out before and Erik by far has been the best. He was professional, polite, and charged reasonably. Plus he was at my home in 30 mins!

Erik was prompt, personable, and did a great job re-keying our doors. We appreciated his quick communication. He was fairly priced and did an amazing job! I highly recommend him!

There’s a reason this place has 5 stars, Erik is fast, professional, and friendly. If you go to any other locksmith in the area you’re risking wasting your time.

Erik is a great locksmith! Honest, reliable, and does great work. I would highly recommend!

Great service, fair priced. Erik was friendly and got the job done super quick ! 10/10
