How it works
What happens when you call
- Describe the problem. Your address, the lock or vehicle, and anything urgent.
- Get a quote. We give you the price and a realistic arrival estimate.
- We verify and fix. The technician checks ID, then opens, repairs, rekeys or installs.
- Pay and keep your receipt. Major credit cards accepted.
Lock grades
Choosing a lock that fits the door
Locks are graded by ANSI/BHMA. Grade 1 is the most durable and resists force best, so it is our recommendation for exterior doors. Grades 2 and 3 suit interior doors that see less wear. We also install electronic and keypad locks.
Not sure where to start? Book a free, no-obligation consultation and we will look at your doors, explain the options and leave the decision to you.
Questions to ask any locksmith
Whoever you call, these questions protect you:
- Is your company licensed with the California BSIS?
- Are you bonded and insured?
- Is there a warranty on parts and labour?
- Where do you dispatch from?
