“One in the morning, my daughter asleep the other side of the door, and the mortise key on the kitchen table. The figure I heard on the phone was $193 with the overnight rate already in it, and $193 is what the card was charged. Nineteen minutes, no drill, and the old lock still turns the way it always did.”
“New condo, and no idea who still had a key to it. Four cylinders repinned onto one: $89 for the visit plus $31 a cylinder, $213 in total, counted out on the phone before anyone drove over. Forty minutes, and the old pins came back to me in a little bag.”
“Lost the only key to my Civic in a lot off North First. They cut and programmed a new one at the car for a third of the dealer quote — no tow, no week of waiting.”
“After a break-in they came the same evening, secured the door, replaced the deadbolt and rekeyed the back one. Every charge explained before starting. Felt safe again that night.”
“Schlage Encode installed and paired with my phone in under an hour. Clean work, zero upsell, price matched the phone quote to the dollar.”
“My daughter shut the door with the keys still inside. I called, they arrived in 25 minutes and opened it without a scratch. Price matched the quote exactly.”
Every review above is from a completed job in San Jose & South Bay — quoted on the phone, invoiced at the same number.

What happened?
Straight talk
How to not get scammed by a locksmith
The classic scam: a $19 quote on the phone becomes $300 at your door, a drilled lock you didn't need, and a cash-only demand. Here's what to check before you let anyone touch your lock — us included.
- Get the total price on the phone, in writing if possible. Refuse 'starting at' pricing.
- Ask the company name — call-center brokers won't give a straight answer.
- Expect ID verification. A real locksmith checks you own the place.
- Drilling should be rare and explained. Most locks open with picks.
- Pay by card. Cash-only demands are the #1 scam flag.
FAQ
Asked at 2am, answered here
How fast can you actually get to me?+
Our average arrival across San Jose is about 20 minutes, and you get a realistic ETA for your exact neighborhood before the van moves. If we can't make a time you're happy with, you pay nothing.
Is the price you quote on the phone really final?+
Yes — that's the Fair-Price Pledge. The service call and the labor for your exact job are named before dispatch, and the invoice matches it. The only thing that can change the price is you changing the job.
Will you have to drill my lock?+
Almost never. We open the vast majority of doors with picks and decoders. Drilling is a last resort for some high-security cylinders, and it only happens with your explicit OK and a replacement plan agreed first.
Do you ask for ID?+
Yes, always — we verify you live or work at the property before opening anything. A locksmith who doesn't ask is a locksmith you shouldn't let near your door.
How do I know your tech is legit when they arrive?+
Before arrival you get a text with your technician's name and photo. They arrive in branded workwear, and payment is by card with an itemized digital invoice — never cash-only.
Do you serve my area at night?+
We cover San Jose and the surrounding South Bay — Santa Clara, Campbell, Milpitas, Cupertino, Los Gatos and Saratoga — 24/7 including holidays. Overnight jobs carry a flat +$50 listed right on our pricing table.
