We'll get you back in

Getting locked out never happens at a good time. Whether your keys are on the kitchen counter, the lock won't turn, or your keys are gone for good, we come to you anywhere in our East Bay service area, 24 hours a day.

We use professional entry tools to open most doors without damaging the lock or the door. If a lock has to be drilled, we can replace or rekey it on the spot, so you're never left with a door that won't lock.

Home and apartment lockouts

Front doors, back doors, deadbolts, sliding doors, garages and gates. If your keys are lost, we can also rekey your locks while we're there so the lost keys stop working.

Car lockouts

Keys locked in the car, in the trunk, or lost altogether. We open most makes and models without damage, and we can make a new car key on site if yours is gone. We don't currently service German cars (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche) or motorcycles.

Business lockouts

Locked out of your office, store or storage room before opening or after closing? We'll get you in and can rekey or repair the lock if needed.

It depends on where you are and the time of day. When you call, we'll give you an honest arrival time and let you know if anything changes.

Will you damage my door or lock?

We use non-destructive methods first and open most locks without damage. If a lock has to be drilled, we can replace or rekey it right away.

Do I need to show ID?

Yes. To protect you, we confirm that you live at the address or own the car or business before we open it.
