What the locksmith handles

Most lock trouble is really door trouble. A bolt that drags usually means the door has dropped on its hinges, and a latch that misses the strike is often a frame that has shifted with the seasons. That is why this service looks at the whole opening: the lock, the strike plate, the hinges and the closer, not just the cylinder.

Calls come in from every corner of the city, from Victorian flats in West Oakland to hillside homes in Montclair and warehouse units near the Coliseum. Tell the dispatcher what you see, and a locksmith with the right parts is sent to you. You get an estimate on the phone and a firm price on site, before anything is drilled, cut or replaced.

Hours are listed as Monday through Sunday, All day. Availability changes with the day's call volume, so the simplest thing is to call 510-731-0614 and ask.

03 / How a call works

From your call to a working lock

  1. Call and describe the door

    Say what is wrong and what kind of lock you have, if you know. A photo can help later.

  2. Hear an estimate

    The dispatcher gives an approximate price based on your description, plus the service call fee.

  3. Confirm on site

    The locksmith inspects the lock and door, then confirms the price before starting.

  4. Test and pay

    Every key and latch is tested with you at the door. You pay the technician by card or as agreed.

Dispatch facts

04 / Why callers choose us

Plain dealing, start to finish

The door gets checked, not just the lock

Sagging hinges, a loose strike or a worn closer cause many 'broken lock' calls. The locksmith looks at these first, because fixing the door often saves you a new lock.

Prices before work

You get an estimate when you call and a confirmed price on site. If the job turns out to be different, you hear about it before work continues.

Homes, shops and cars

Deadbolts and smart locks, storefront hardware and panic bars, car keys and transponders: one number covers all three.

Local streets, local timing

Dispatch is from 94607 near Jack London Square, and the service area runs from the flatlands to the hills. Bridge traffic and hill roads are part of every arrival estimate.

09 / FAQ

Questions callers ask

Can you fix a door that will not latch?

Often, yes. The usual causes are a shifted strike plate, loose hinge screws or a closer that needs adjusting. The locksmith checks those before suggesting a new lock.

Do I need to prove I live there during a lockout?

Yes. Expect to show ID with the address, a lease or a utility bill once the door is open. It protects you as much as anyone.

Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?

Usually. Rekeying swaps the pins inside your existing cylinder so old keys stop working. If the lock itself is worn or low grade, replacing it may make more sense.

What payment do you take?

All major credit cards are accepted. Confirm the payment method when you call.

Which parts of Oakland do you cover?

All of Oakland, from West Oakland and downtown to the hills and East Oakland. See the area pages for each neighborhood.
