Born in California and raised in Colorado, Michael Black of Lane Lock and Key is the new face of locksmithing in Eugene, Oregon. After 15 years in Japan and Hollywood as a Sound Mixer at major studios, he changed his course in life and hit the streets of L.A. as a Code Enforcement Officer for the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors.
It was there that he worked, on and off duty, with the Los Angeles County locksmiths on staff. With the encouragement and motivation of those locksmiths, he completed the testing required to obtain his Oregon State Contractors license as well as his Oregon State Locksmith Certification. He had found his path.

Key fobs provide a convenient way to lock and unlock your car doors. Rather than having to open your door with a key, you can use a key fob that offers remote access. Key fobs send a signal to the car's door locking mechanism, allowing you to both unlock and lock the doors even if you are standing some distance away.
If your car was manufactured within the last decade, there is a good chance that it uses a transponder chip key. These keys add an additional layer of security and they need to be programmed professionally. We can program or reprogram a transponder chip key regardless of the make or model of your automobile.
If you are a business owner, no one needs to explain to you the importance of security. Whether you sell merchandise or offer a service, a break-in of any kind could be devastating. It's never a bad idea to conduct a security audit to see if there are certain things that you need to repair or upgrade.

I called to get a quote from Lane Lock and Key for an auto key cut from the VIN and a new proximity key fob. (I recently bought a used car that has a proximity fob. It does not need a key to open the, unless the battery is dead). My key did not turn in the driver's side door. I was asked to send a picture of my existing key and key fob. I sent the pictures. I received a near immediate text back with the advice for me to lubricate my car door lock cylinder to loosen the lock cylinder so my existing key will work. I was also give the quote for the key cut and fob from my car's VIN, as

YELP removed my first post for " Your review was removed because it didn't include enough detail about your experiences as a customer of Lane Lock and Key."
I'm including screenshots of my entire interactions with this business and my original post that was removed.
The owner is either mentally unstable or he just wants to turn business away. I was going to hire him for an automotive key, but after his last text message to me I wouldn't let him get near any of my property.

Honestly Mike was the quickest locksmith I've ever used (and I lock my keys in my car a lot). He showed up within minutes, unlocked my car in literally 20 seconds, and made me a new key in under 4 minutes. I am beyond impressed. Plus, he charged me the most reasonable price I've ever seen! Keeping him on speed dial!

I contacted mike by email thru the website for a price on a duplicate keyless entry for my car. he responded quickly, quoted me a price & available times to come out & make the key & program it. he arrived on time & it only took him a few minutes to accomplish what i could not get from TWO car dealerships i contacted, & TWO other locksmith business in eugene. i'm going to make sure i have his number handy for the future. i wouldn't bother calling anyone else. i'd give lane lock & key more stars than five if i could.

I had a bad feeling from the start of the call. The man who answered was extremely abrupt. I told him I would like a quote for some services (not every business gives phone quotes so I didn't want to explain what I needed until he confirmed he could give a quote). He said 'ok' abruptly again and I was quiet for a second, thinking he may need to grab a pen if he was on the road. Then it was 'what is it that you want'? As if I was some buzzing mosquito and not a potential customer. I began trying to explain what I wanted...as a new home owner all of these services and interactions

I can't say enough good things about Michael at Lane Lock and Key. We have a 1960s house, and the handle on our metal screen door (original to the house) broke off. Two other local businesses told us finding a replacement part was not possible and that we needed a new door. We really didn't want to replace the door, as the original has great details, and our home is a duplex, so we didn't want the two sides to be mismatched. Michael was my third attempt at fixing the door, and I should have called him first. He spent several days looking through catalogs, helped me get the correct

These guys were super quick, easy and cheap. We needed a really early morning locksmith to open our vechicle. They got someone out to us within just minutes, even at that super early time of the morning! No added fees for "after hours" like some of the other companies charge either!! They made it so quick and so easy that my husband was barely even late to work!!

This is top locksmith I ever met. And I met a few.. He showed up punctually. Works very fast. I would compare craftsmanship of his work to a master watchmaker of good old days. He also provided specific advise which saved me some money. He takes pride in how he does his job. Great asset to this city! Thank you from Yev

I locked my keys in my car for the first time 2 hours away from home and was in a state of panic! A lot of the locksmiths were fully booked and/or fighting fires (idk why, but thank you for fighting fires for us!). Michael was the only locksmith able to help me out and was incredibly kind and professional! He was booked until six hours later but he arrived about an hour earlier than I was expecting him! He got my keys our on the first attempt and didn't damage anything or set off any alarms! My insurance didn't cover it but it was cheap! He drove to me from about an hour and a half away

We called Lane Lock and Key recently to have our vehicle re-keyed. Mike gave me a cost and time frame estimate. He was right on time with both. He was professional and polite and you can tell he knows his stuff and did a great job. left everything in good shape.We highly recommend his company for any service he offers. Thank you Mike.
