Why should I use a locksmith instead of a hardware store?

My key broke off in the lock, what should I do?
If your key broke off in the door we can send out a technician to remove it. If the door is open and you are able to remove the lock, please bring the lock to our store and we can remove the broken key for you. If the broken key is for an automobile, please call us.

Can you get me back into my car if the keys are locked inside?
Yes, we can open virtually all vehicle models. We do trunks on cars too.  Call us for more information.
Be cautious with higher end cars.  Many locksmiths and most auto club tow truck operators should not be working on these cars.
 
Is it important to have a licensed locksmith? Yes, absolutely! All locksmiths must have a license in the state of California. In order to get a license, an applicant goes through a mandatory criminal history check through the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Do I really need such expensive locks? Home centers have their locks priced so much cheaper.
Not all locks are created equal. A lock that cost you $18 may hold your door closed, but it will not have the reliability of the lock that cost $100, and that lock will not have the security features of the lock that cost $200. 

Why should I choose you over all the other locksmiths in the area? Combined, our staff has well over 100 years of experience and know the area as well as we know locking hardware and safes.

We are properly licensed, bonded, insured and have a large shop with 1000's of locks and other hardware.
Thousands upon thousands of fine customers have used us for their security needs....You should too!
