Come to us for home safes, security safes, electronic safes, combination safes, and fireproof safe sales and installation. Only licensed contractors deserve your trust when it comes to installing a security or fireproof safe in your home or business. California law requires all safe installers to have a C-28 state contractor's license, but the truth is, many people who sell, move, or install safes lack this legal licensing. To be certain that you are protected by the State Contractors' License Law, make the smart choice of working only with licensed safe installers.
When you call upon Grah Safe and Lock to install video surveillance equipment at your San Diego home or business, we can help you complete your security picture. Even with the best access control systems, there are instances in which only video surveillance gives you the total control you may need by letting you view what is happening or has happened in the past at a specific site.

Grah installed a new gate closer at our townhouse complex. It works great. The service we have received since the installation has been very good. The whole HOA agrees that the customer service is excellent. And getting an HOA to agree on anything is tough! :

Had a gate key with no markings/numbers that Ace (and everywhere else) said they couldn't copy- took it over to Grah, they said "it might be possible, let's try it", had it copied in 5 minutes. I took it home and it works! I can open my gate with it! These guys are professionals! Thank you. I will definitely return to Grah for any future key needs.

Key would t turn lock in front door. They tried it and found debris in tumbler. Cleaned it out and made a couple copies of keys. Quick, effective and happy to help me. Thanks!

This seemingly drab hole in the wall had covered much of what you would need in locks and security. Their etiquette was on point and not too prying yet filled in a lot of what I needed for my bike lock. When we needed keys made, they were quick yet precise, their machines were top notch, and the operators were done in under four minutes. They even made it clear we would have money back guarantee for a month! The people here are experts in home and business security as long as it applies to locks of course.

Go to for all my key needs for my house, food truck, office, and restaurant. They have everything I need all in one place and weird keys that nobody else can make, and can even make keys that are a little bent and copy the key to have it function properly Customer service is always on point, always friendly and attentive Love this local shop I definitely would consider coming here before a big box location

I'm head of security at a High School here in San Diego. We have had 3 rather large and somewhat complicated projects in the last couple years (one was particularly tricky and just wrapped). These projects involved getting cameras up and running and set up for viewing. These guys were amazing. Had the pleasure of working with Zach and Noe and they bent over backwards to help us out.

What's great about them is that they also "teach" you things that they're working on, which helps immensely.

Outstanding work and tech help by these these 2 guys. Thanks GRAH.

I come here because I make copies of a very particular lock that has a very particular key that isn't carried by Lowes or home depot or Ace hardware. I'm always greeted with a very friendly smile and everyone is more than willing to help me out, even as far as trying out different keys to see which will fit and with the best.

These guys and gals are pros. The last 3 times I've gone into the shop, I have gotten 5star incredible service. The locksmiths are all patient and willing to answer any and all your questions. This is my go-to for anything lock or key related.

Extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and cheerful staff! I had a gate lock that *had* to be installed, and another locksmith fell through. They couldn't come out and install it that day, they could prep the lock for installation in their shop, no charge. Which they did. I'd never installed a simplex (push-button) gate lock before, but with their help and preparation, my self-installation was a snap!

My thanks to Sean who found a hard-to-find latch change, and especially Aaron and Zach (between those two, help from A to Z ) who set the lock up for me. Also, special thanks to the boss lady for her accommodating and cheerful authorization. I would always consider using this shop!

The most professional company I've worked with in a long time. My fire safe wouldn't open and they dispatched Nathan within the day who clearly had a wealth of knowledge and quickly assessed the problem. The part came within a few days and they were immediately there to install it. He had to drill the safe to undo the mechanism which I thought would ruin the safe but no! Not even a scratch and it is back to perfect order. A real locksmith is a true craftsman and I was so impressed with him as well the the communicative office staff.

Nathan is the ultimate in professionalism. He showed up on time with all the equipment he needed to open our safe and repair it with new parts. He knows what he is doing, works fast, takes care of the surrounding items, leaves the work area clean and in the same condition he found it. We HIGHLY recommend him to do the best job for your locksmith needs. They are the best. Thank you!

Grah Safe & Lock is by far the best choice for building security systems and home/business locks. All our business building locks are custom made from Grah and can not be duplicated. We feel safe and valued as a customer. Our experience has always been fantastic with this company and we highly recommend them for anything from high tech electronic key card access updated equipment install, to simple high quality locks and safe's. Thank you for keeping our business secure and "safe".

I have seen this place for years. I finally came in and what an amazing experience I had. One of the technician got my car key fob to work. and did so without a cost. I just had to provide a battery. He was so informative, he went on YouTube to verify information and then took care of making my fob work. I am a new fan of GRAH. I really liked knowing the history of this locksmith family in San Diego. Great staff and very friendly. Thanks for your great service. jm

Nathan and Sean were simply amazing! They were able to put a small 1000lb safe onto a pallet safely for me to transport. These gentlemen were timely, professional, and used their wealth of experience to make a logistically complex job look easy. They constantly reassessed the game plan with each move to ensure the job was done safely to reach the end goal.

I simply cannot say enough about these guys, and the excellent customer service I received on my initial call to Yaneth. Grah Safe & Lock went above and beyond my expectations and relieved me of a problem I had to deal with. If you are looking for true professionals, excellent customer service, and the skills to back it all up, I highly suggest you contact Grah if you have any safe moving needs! Thank you so much for your help!

Outstanding security door repair with hardware installation by a most experienced professional. Jesse, my engineer, assessed and performed the work thoroughly for high security and a clean, finished look. He was very organized and efficient, attentive to my concerns and provided expert suggestions - which I took. I am very satisfied and have new peace of mind regarding the integrity of my doors and locks. I highly recommend Grah Security for anyone needing these services.

We have used Grah Locksmiths for years now, and we keep coming back! We have had to make some changes and Grah came through for us once again :) Zach is fantastic! listened to what we needed and was able to assure us that it can be done. (i.e. coordinating 50 keys) It's defintely a sigh of relief when you know you have the security you need for your business. Oh and we would love to publicly thank you for OUR RED LOCK. We love it :) Thank You. Denise Barrow Salon

Thanks, Grah, and thanks to the young man who quickly and efficiently picked the lock on my glove compartment so I could get at my cars owner's manual, registration and other important stuff. I'd somehow jammed the lock when I had closed the compartment with my fist in impatience. So I just drove to Grah- no appointment- and they took care of me right away. Friendly people, too!

I just got back from having two spare car keys made, & I have to say that the entire team of employees was absolutely amazing. Maybe it's the pandemic. Maybe they were just excited to have someone in the store, but they but they went above & beyond when it came to customer service. The employees working on 08/12/20 all deserve a raise! (Sure, . that's unlikely doable in the current economic climate, but take notes! I give them five out of five stars.) I had no idea having keys made would be so much fun! Thank you for the excellent customer service! Rock on, & stay safe!

We needed to have a very old safe opened. It was not something a regular locksmith could do. They sent out Nathan. He was super cool! He made sure I was the property owner, then invited me to watch what he was doing. He explained the different steps and techniques and answered tons of questions. I thought they were going to be super expensive, but the pricing was reasonable and I had a quality experience. I kinda wish I had more mystery safes to open.

I've been using Grah through my company for over 14 years. The staff is very personable, experienced and quick. I am usually able to go on my lunch and get in and out. The quality of their work and product is so good I don't bother going anywhere else. Easy parking and freeway close.

With the recent changes on our planet and things in general, I felt the need to add more layers of security in my home. I shopped other stores, even out of county. I didn't feel comfortable with the other people in the other businesses I entered- so I couldn't trust them in my home. I need a safe from somebody I can trus When I walked in to GS&L.

I was greeted immediately, and helped by Sean? I want to say his name was Sean or Shane. he showed me the options and I got exactly what I wanted. The big guy with the glasses was cool too! Very kind people. Also, knowing that they have been in business so long- that gave me confidence. and I wanted to spend local. I have yet to receive my safe and have it installed, but feel so comfortable with the experience I'm throwing down the five stars now and will update. UPDATE. Sean and Jesse came to my tiny home. and made my family safer.

The install and delivery were no trouble at all- and very professionally done. They have the right equipment to do the job properly and safely (no pun intended). These guys know their stuff. Management does not skimp on hiring. They hire real people that see you through- not a third party company that rolls it in and leaves it. A company like this is rare- they make your purchase an experience, and instill confidence in your decision.

No buyers remorse here! I also have to mention Zach- even after I purchased the product, he reviewed the item with me and showed me options I did t even know. Grah's is the best - and they will receive my business in the future! Thank you Grah's! Btw- check out some of the epic custom safes. a cool peek into history. Those safes could of held anything!

These guys were awesome. Had a staff member quit and not return her keys. Last thing I wanted going into Thanksgiving weekend was an unprotected office. They came two hours earlier than quoted. The work was done quickly, neatly and no where near as expensive as I expected. Andy was so pleasant and explained everything to me that he was doing. They also came very highly recommended from another locksmith who doesn't work on doors. Will definitely use them for any future locksmithing needs.

Graph safe and lock does not deliver what they promise. I ordered a security system from them that they quoted and put in writing. They charged my Credit Card a large deposit and gave me a written contract. After more than 2 weeks and 5 or more visits from multiple technicians who failed to do anything, the owner of this awful Company had a company. meeting and decided he wanted more money from me to install the system that he quoted and contractually agreed to.

When I refused, they refused to install the system that they quoted in writing and gave me a contract for. I would never trust this Company as its owner has no moral or ethical standards, there word and contract is meaningless. I will stay far away from this Company and never do business with them.

I have never opportunity to work with such non-professional oriented company ever. There technicians have lack of knowledge, but there hourly amount and prices for replacement parts are exceeding 200% from other professional companies. Not to tell you that I ordered 5 locks waited 7 weeks and get back non working locks because they did not re-keyed.

When I called in they and ask for locks they hang on me. Run away and save your time and money. Privies owner was good business man but the new con, just using their name and provides really, really bad services. I'm happy camper with company just across from them. Thank you for help me open my eyes.

Nobody but me making keys when i came into the shop today. Place smelled like bad B.O. and keys. Guy behind the counter was quick and had me out the door before I choked. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in need of their services. Just a side note. I have been using these guys for several years. I have had no issues. Their staff have always been consistently courteous and friendly.

We used Grah Safe & Lock to install a keyless entry door lock to a secure area in our warehouse. They welded the lock housing to the chain-link cage door and aligned the entire door handle up so it opens and closes perfectly. They also rekeyed our entire office with new keys that came with the "do not duplicate stamp" on them for extra security. The installer was incredible polite and walked us through the entire system once completed. I would highly recommend them for any similar needs.
