Which one is you?
Car keys, fobs & ignitions
Lost every key, need a spare, fob stopped working, ignition won't turn. Cut and programmed at the vehicle.
Business & property
Master key systems, restricted keys, keypads and fobs, storefront hardware, safes and vaults.
✓ Car lockout — Keys locked in the car or the trunk, or a fob that's died in a parking lot. I open the door without touching the paint, the seal or the window.
​
✓ House lockout — Door slammed behind you, key snapped, or the deadbolt was thrown from inside. I pick or bypass the lock and leave it working for your key afterwards.
Â
✓ Business lockout — Can't open the shop before the morning rush, or the only staff member with a key is unreachable. Storefront and commercial doors, opened cleanly.
Â
✓ Lost every key — No spare anywhere. I can originate a car key from the VIN, or rekey a house so a brand-new key works and the lost one doesn't.
Broken key in the lock Half a key stuck in the door or the ignition. I extract the broken piece without wrecking the cylinder and cut you a fresh key on the spot.
Â
✓ After a break-in or a breakup — Someone who shouldn't have a key still has one. I rekey or replace the locks the same day so you can actually sleep.
24/7 Emergency & Lockouts
✓ Car lockouts — Keys locked in the car or the trunk, or a fob that's died in a parking lot. I open the door without touching the paint, the seal or the window.
​
✓ Car key replacement — Lost every key? I can originate one from scratch — cut to code and programmed to your vehicle on site. Mechanical, transponder, sidewinder and fob keys.
Â
✓ Ignition repair & replacement — Key won't turn, turns but won't start, or the cylinder is worn to the point that any key wiggles it. I repair or replace the ignition lock and key it to your existing key where possible.
Â
✓ Fobs & remotes — Remote entry fobs, flip keys and proximity fobs supplied, programmed and paired. Dead fob after a battery change, or a spare for the second driver — both are quick jobs.
Â
✓ Broken key extraction — Key snapped in the door, the ignition or the trunk. I extract the broken half without wrecking the cylinder, then cut you a fresh key from the remaining piece or to code.
Â
✓ Trunk & glove box locks — Glove box that won't open or won't stay shut, and trunk locks that have seized or been forced. Latch, cylinder and lock repair or replacement.
Automotive Locksmith
✓ House lockouts — Locked out of the house or an apartment, any hour. I open the door without damaging it and leave the lock working for your key.
Â
✓ Rekeying — Keep your locks, change the key. Every old copy stops working. The right move after buying a house, losing a key, or a tenant or roommate moving out.
✓ Deadbolts & lock installation — Sticking, stiff, spinning, or the key only works if you jiggle it. Most of those are repairs, not replacements — and a repair costs less. I'll tell you which yours is.
Â
✓ Lock repair — No spare anywhere. I can originate a car key from the VIN, or rekey a house so a brand-new key works and the lost one doesn't.
Broken key in the lock Half a key stuck in the door or the ignition. I extract the broken piece without wrecking the cylinder and cut you a fresh key on the spot.
Â
✓ Lock replacement — When the hardware is worn out, damaged, or you want to move up a security grade. Knobs, levers, deadbolts, handlesets, patio and sliding door locks.
Â
✓ Smart locks & keypads — Keypad deadbolts, smart locks, fingerprint and fob locks - supplied, installed and set up. I'll also tell you honestly when a smart lock is a bad fit for a particular door.
Â
✓ Keys & broken key extraction — Spare keys cut properly, keys made for locks with no key at all, and broken halves extracted from the cylinder without wrecking it.
Â
✓ Home safes — Safe won't open, combination forgotten, keypad dead? Opened, repaired, combination changed, or a new safe installed and bolted down.
Â
✓ Landlords & property managers — Rekeys between tenants, keyed-alike sets, master keys for a building of units, and a locksmith who turns up when the tenant's locked out at midnight.
Residential Locksmith
✓ Business lockouts — Can't open before the morning rush, or the only key-holder is unreachable. Storefront, office and back doors opened cleanly, 24 hours a day.
​
✓ Master key systems — One key for the owner, one for each manager, one per staff member that only opens their doors. Designed, cut, installed and documented.
✓ Restricted & high-security keys— Keyways whose blanks aren't sold to the public. Nobody copies your key at a hardware store; every copy comes through me, with your sign-off.
Â
✓ Keypads, fobs & access control — Keypad locks, fob and card readers. Staff leave, you delete a code — no rekey. Supplied, installed and set up on standalone doors.
✓ Storefront & panic hardware — Aluminum storefront locks, panic bars and exit devices, closers, back-door deadbolts. Fitted so the door latches every time, not most of the time.
✓ Rekeying for staff & tenant changes — A manager leaves, a tenant moves out, a key goes missing. Rekeyed the same day, after hours if you prefer, with the new keys handed to the right people.
✓ Lock repair & replacement — Cylinders, levers, mortise locks and deadbolts on commercial doors. Repaired where the hardware is sound, replaced where it isn't.
✓ Safes & vaults — Opened, repaired, combinations changed, electronic locks replaced, new safes installed and bolted down.
✓ Property managers & landlords — Multi-unit buildings, rekeys between tenancies, keyed-alike sets, master keys for maintenance, and a locksmith who answers at midnight.
Commercial Locksmith
Tell me what's happened and where you are. I'll ask a couple of questions and give you a price and an honest arrival time on the phone.
1. Call or text
Three steps, no surprises
How it works
I check that the car or property is yours, then get to work with the tools and parts already in the van.
2. I come to you
3. Done, tested, paid
Every key tested in every lock before I take payment. Card, cash, check, Zelle, Cash App or Venmo — and 10% off if it's your first time.
Three things that speed it up
✓ Where you are — a street address, a business name or a cross-street. Share your location by text if that's easier.
​
✓ What you're locked out of — car (year, make, model), house, apartment or business, and what kind of lock if you know.
​
✓ Proof it's yours — ID, and registration or something with the address. If it's all inside, tell me; we can usually sort that out once we're in.
Before you call
If you're somewhere unsafe, or a child or pet is locked in a hot car, call 911 first. Then call me.
(559)862-5852
That's normal. Just call.
"The key goes in but won't turn." "The fob only works when I'm standing right next to the car." "The landlord says I have to change the locks." Describe the symptom and I'll tell you what it is and what it costs — and if it's something you can fix yourself, I'll tell you that too.
