Pricing
Every price we charge in Fremont, published.

OverviewWhat moves the number
Why a range and not one price
Two things decide where your job lands inside its range: the hardware on your door or car, and the time of day. Both are settled on the call, before anything moves.
Hardware grade
A builder-grade knob lock opens faster than a high-security cylinder, and a basic deadbolt costs less than a smart lock. You are told which one you have before the price is named.
Time of day
Evening and overnight calls carry a flat surcharge that is listed above and already included in the number you hear. Weekends and holidays are standard rate.
Scope
One door or the whole house, one key or a fleet of fobs. The call fixes the scope so the tech arrives with the parts and the price does not move.
FAQ
What people ask about the bill
Is the price on the call really the final number?+
Yes. The figure confirmed on the call, including the $89 service call and any evening or overnight surcharge, is what appears on the card receipt. The only way it changes is if you ask for extra work at the door, like a rekey after a lockout, and you approve that as its own line before it starts.
Do you drill locks?+
Only as a last resort and only with your approval. Residential and most commercial locks open with picks, decoders or bypass tools, which leave the hardware working. If a lock is too damaged or too secure to pick, the tech explains the drilling option and the replacement price before touching it, and you decide.
Is there a surcharge for nights and weekends?+
Weekends and holidays cost the same as weekdays. Arrivals between 8pm and midnight add $35, and arrivals between midnight and 7am add $65. Both are stated on the call as part of the total, so a $109 daytime house lockout is $144 in the evening and $174 overnight, with nothing added later.
Do you cover Newark and Union City, or only Fremont?+
All three Tri-City cities, at the same prices. Newark averages about 22 minutes and Union City about 25. Milpitas, Hayward and North San Jose are reachable in 30 to 35 minutes and are covered too, though for those addresses the arrival estimate on the call is the number to trust rather than the citywide average.
