About the Business

Specialties

We specialize in helping people through our transparent and honest business practice. Text or email us an image of your lock with a brief description of the service you need, and we promptly reply with a guaranteed price quote. Yes, it's that simple. This is not a complicated service and smart phone technology makes our lives easier for estimates through video and clear images. Do you have an old, malfunctioning lock that was never maintained? Or a lock installed by someone who should have never been allowed to touch tools? We're happy to help with repairing or upgrading any lock disaster you may have. Other services we provide are home and business safe maintenance by appointment

History

Established in 2008.

Jay Sofer established Lockbusters to offer an alternative to the typical locksmith service experience. People have come to expect extremely high rates (for even simple services). Lockbusters mission is simple, save you money and help the community. Jay is currently a volunteer at Hope Food Pantry in Austin and has been active in animal rescue charities for 10+ years. From Lockbusters earliest days starting in Jay's Mom's garage in Jackson Heights Queens, Yelp has helped him connect with great people. Thanks to Yelpers amazing feedback, he's quickly become one of the most trusted locksmith in the country. Jay looks forward to helping more than ever in the coming years -- especially if they have cute dogs and cats!

Business Owner

Hi, I'm Jay. I started Lockbusters after losing everything in the 2008 recession. I had originally intended this to only be a temporary side gig until I was able to go back to school. But as luck would have it, the positive Yelp reviews I received changed the course of my life. I'm happy to write that for the past 12+ yrs I have helped folks save tons of money through my transparent service, and have donated thousands of dollars to my favorite animal rescue charities. Now, in Austin, I am a proud volunteer at Hope Food Pantry.It's always a great pleasure to provide great customer service to anyone who trusts me to enter their home or office, especially if they've had the misfortune of a bad service experience in the past. My business model is simple, I want to help you save money and donate to my favorite charities.Thank you to all the amazing Yelpers that wrote the most positive things about me and my business practice.
