Clients reviews about Houdini Locksmith

I had an outstanding experience with Houdini They were prompt, professional, and extremely skilled. After accidentally locking myself out of my home, I called them, and they arrived within 30 minutes, fully equipped and ready to help. Israel was courteous, explained the process clearly, and managed to unlock my door without causing any damage. I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail and how they ensured my security system was intact after completing the work. On top of their excellent service, their pricing was very reasonable, especially given the high level of expertise and efficiency they provided. I highly recommend Houdini Locksmith for any lock-related issues. They’re reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about their customers’ safety and satisfaction. ~ Ninetta S

I can’t believe how lucky I was to check one more time and found Houdini Locksmith before going to another location and would have paid twice as much. I had called around to many places weeks ago and decided to wait before paying so much money to have one key made. The prices around town were astronomical for my type of key for a ELANTRA Hyundai. I decided against it hoping my lost keys would reappear. They did not so I was forced to go to one of the places I had found. Luckily I tried searching one more time and found Houdini. So cheap compared to others. Israel works from his home and was quick and efficient. Most places were $200 for just the key. He was 120 and I received the fob with it. Fantastic! ~ Jay S

My car key broke this morning. I spent about 3 hours trying to find someone to help. The people I spoke with told me that repair wasn't possible. Just as I was considering calling a tow truck to bring my car home, I saw Israel on the road. I explained the situation to him. While everyone else was saying they couldn’t help, he immediately said, 'Let’s go, we’ll make a new key.' He didn’t hesitate at all. He took care of all the issues and delivered the new key to me in no time. It was an amazing experience. I just wanted to thank him. If you ever face a problem with your car key, don’t waste time like I did, just call Israel. He saved me from such a hassle, and I felt compelled to write this review ~ Serkan G

Israel was on time, replaced my lock in under 10 minutes, had the lowest service call and labour rates among his competitors, and was customer service focused during the installation. He asked me if I was 100% satisfied with the installation and then adjusted and readjusted the angle of the lock until I told him I was completely happy with the installation results. He was able to be onsite the day after I called him because Houdini Locksmith has a 24/7 call centre and he made sure to follow up on the day of the appointment to confirm. Easily five stars and I highly recommend you consider Houdini Locksmith when you shop around for a locksmith. ~ David P

Israel was excellent! I had a complicated alarm system in my car-unfortunately the alarm still worked but the fob was breaking down and they don't make them anymore. It was on it's last legs. I was worried at some point that I would be somewhere and my fob wouldn't work-then I can get in my car-the alarm will go off but it locks the engine and I wouldn't be able to get home. So it was time. He came within hours of me calling, he disabled the alarm (lots of wired-it looked complicated, he was pleasant and he even had a cool interact machine so I could pay with my card. Peace of mind. Now I can get in my car and drive it without worrying. Thanks Israel. ~ Wendy L

Great Service! The service was excellent! It was a challenging job—the knob was completely broken, and the door was impossible to open. The technician arrived, opened the door, and installed a smart WiFi lock efficiently. However, there was an issue with the handle that comes with the smart WiFi lock. It worked well when the door was open and from the inside, but from the outside, you had to pull it hard to open it. I contacted Houdini, and they scheduled a visit for the week after to ensure everything works perfectly. The technician came again as scheduled and now is 100% fixed. Overall, AMAZING experience! ~ Julio Z

I've used Houdini Locksmith twice, and have received great service both times. The first time, I needed a new key/fob for my Honda Pilot. Israel (the owner) answered promptly and arranged to come to my place right away. His fees were more competitive than every other company I called, and the convenience of him coming to me made the process smooth and efficient. Later on, I had an issue with my ignition, a common problem in older Honda vehicles, and Israel was able to come within an hour and fix it on the spot. He's a friendly, honest guy, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a locksmith. Thanks, Israel! ~ Jessica J

I had an excellent experience with this locksmith service! I needed a last-minute key replacement, and they were able to accommodate me on the same day. The locksmith was not only very genuine but also a certified professional with transparent and fair pricing. I initially brought in a broken Honda CR-V car key for replacement, and to my pleasant surprise, I received a much-improved replacement key. It not only has all the functions I needed but also has additional functions that my old key didn't offer. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of service I received, and I highly recommend this place! ~ Christie H

I had an amazing experience with Houdini! I accidentally locked my keys in my car late at night, and their team was a lifesaver. They arrived quickly, even though it was after hours, and were extremely professional and efficient. The technician was polite and clearly experienced, unlocking my car without any damage. They also went above and beyond by offering advice on how to prevent this situation in the future. Their service was fast, reliable, and reasonably priced, which I really appreciated during such a stressful moment. I highly recommend Houdini Locksmith for any automotive lock needs—they truly exceeded my expectations! ~ Yosef K

I called Houdini Locksmith after my car key broke off in the ignition and I needed to replace it. Israel responded immediately to my call and made me a new key the same night. I found him professional, friendly, efficient and the whole thing was done in minutes. The fee was also extremely reasonable. I had called the service department at a local dealership before calling Houdini and they were going to make me wait 4 days for an appointment and charge me 3 times as much. I also would have had to leave my car there all day. So glad I called Israel! ~ Barbara L

My daughter had to pack up her belongings from her apartment following the end of her lease for a return home to Ontario. Adding to the stress of the move, most of her belongings were locked in a cabinet, but the key was left behind in our home in Ontario. With little time to waste, I called Houdini, where they quoted a fair price, arrived at my daughter's place promptly, and quickly removed the lock (and our stress). The gentleman from Houdini texted me throughout, keeping this anxious dad posted on arrival and when the job was done. Thanks so much. Great service. ~ Rudy B

My car’s remote stopped working recently, and after trying a new battery (no result) and calling a couple businesses who were able to order and maybe(!) fix the issue “after tomorrow”, “next week”.., I’ve decided to ask Israel for help (I wasn’t sure if he specialized also in fobs and transmitters as he helped us with other issues before). He was able to meet me 30 min later, and the whole process of the fob’s assembling/programming took him just a couple of minutes! I am happy that I contacted Israel. He is simply the best! Would highly recommend. ~ Olga B

Had problems with my key fobs for my jeep wrangler . I was pleasantly surprised with his pricing as dealer was trying to rob me . When I showed up he was so easy to deal with and so professional . He was very quick and explained everything to me. I was so pleased I went and got my dodge ram which I only had one key for . He was extremely professional and pleasant to deal with. Excellent pricing and highly recommended to anyone in need of a key fob or locksmith services . I will definitely save his number for all future work I should need. ~ Ashton O

Best experience! Arrived at my home in less than an hour after calling and fixed my car fobs in minutes. I was charged much less than expected as I had spoken previously to my car dealership and 3 other locksmith companies for estimates - all giving me repair and service prices hundreds of dollars more. I am very happy with the service and how efficiently this job was done. Obviously an honest locksmith and very pleasant to speak to. Absolutely will call again if I need a locksmith and recommend completely. ~ Yvonne J

I called Houdini Locksmith this morning and within an hour Israel was at my home to replace a lever door handle and while he was doing that he noticed that the hinge on the door was very loose and he took the time to fix that for me as well at no charge! He did an adjustment for my balcony door lock too. Israel is polite and knows his business. Quick and efficient. I will definitely call Houdini again if I need and I highly recommend them! Thank you. ~ Lorraine

Houdini Locksmith truly saved the day when my girlfriend lost her keys. They provided top-notch, professional service, quickly creating new keys for our apartment door, car (including the fob), and mailbox.

I accidentally locked myself out of my room getting ready for church this morning. Israel was prompt in picking up my call, getting to my location and opening my door. His rate was very reasonable given this happened on a Sunday morning out of normal business hours. The job was done amazingly well with no delay. I appreciate the job well done, Israel’s friendliness, and reasonable pricing. Thank you Houdini Locksmith! ~ Ebube A

I am so grateful for the service provided. Israel came within 30 minutes, was very pleasant and efficient and made me feel less stupid about the whole situation. He went out of his way to jumpstart my truck after making my new key and did it all with a smile and polite manner. It’s hard to find customer service like this anymore and I am grateful he got me back to work! Thanks Houdini Locksmith!! ~ Tracey D

I’m from Japan, and I came to Vancouver to pick up some things from a storage locker I have. Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate the keys to my two strong boxes and needed to get into them quickly. Israel arrived sooner than he said he would, and he opened my two strong boxes faster than I thought. For $200, it was well worth it. I’m happy to be returning to Japan with the contents of my document safes. Thanks a lot. Peace. ~ Jd C
