Fremont's mobile locksmith,
priced before the van moves

“Lost the only key to my Bonneville well after nine at night. He cut a new one on the van and had the bike running!”

“Keys locked in the truck at Union Landing, 10pm. The locksmith texted his photo, rolled up in twenty-five minutes and didn't leave a mark!”

“Had a Schlage Encode installed on the front door of our place up off Paseo Padre. $190 all in, including keying the backup cylinder to our old house key so we didn't need a new one. The technician paired the app on my phone and set codes for the kids before leaving. Took under an hour.”

“The aluminum front door on our shop wouldn't latch unless you shouldered it, and I wasn't about to leave a building full of stock behind a door like that. The locksmith came the same afternoon, replaced the deadlatch and cylinder and reset the closer tension. $265, and the storefront outfit our landlord uses wanted $390 with a week of waiting. It has latched on its own every day since.”

“Fire inspector flagged our back exit at the warehouse off Central Ave. The commercial door outfit we usually use wanted $690 for the same rim device. Tri-City quoted $410 with outside trim and installed it two days later when the part came in. I'd have liked same-day, but they said up front it had to be ordered.”

“Manage a four-suite office building near Fremont Hub, and the storefront lock seized at 6am with two tenants standing outside who couldn't get in to open up. Called it in, the locksmith was there in about twenty minutes, opened it without drilling and rekeyed the cylinder on the spot. $119 for the opening, $65 for the overnight hour, $30 for the rekey, $214 total, itemized receipt in my email before he pulled away.”

“Lost the only key to my Highlander somewhere on the Dumbarton commute. The dealer wanted $480 plus a tow and three days of waiting. Tri-City had a locksmith in my driveway by 7:15 the next morning, cut and programmed a new key in under an hour for $215 including the service call. Car started first try!”

“Bought a fixer on a side street off Fremont Blvd and had no idea how many keys were floating around out there. Five cylinders rekeyed at $28 each plus the $89 call, $229 total, all on one key. The first shop I called wanted $345 for the same five doors. Forty minutes of work and four fresh keys in my hand!”

“Locked out at 9:40pm with the baby asleep inside. He was at the door in half an hour and had the deadbolt open in five!”

“Both remotes for my wife's CR-V died in one week. The guy programmed two fresh ones in the driveway and wiped the dead pair out.”

“Moved our office entries and the server room over to fobs. Issuing a badge takes two minutes now instead of cutting a key!”

“My father left a floor safe in the house and nobody had written the combination anywhere. The tech worked the dial for a little over an hour instead of drilling, so the safe still closes and locks like it should. $340. A safe company over in Hayward wanted $525 and made no secret of planning to drill it. He reset the combination afterward and wrote it on a card for me.”
