Residential Locksmith in Livermore

Rekeying is the biggest half of the week here, and the reason is the same on every street. Sunset East and Springtown went up in the fifties and sixties with attached garages and hardware that is still hanging on the doors. The Jensen Tract has 1920s and 40s bungalows with a detached garage off the alley and original knob sets inside. South of Concannon the houses are new, the deadbolts came with builder keypads, and the codes were set by somebody who does not live there. In all three cases a household is carrying three keys for three doors and using none of them, so the work is to pin the front door, the garage service door and the slider onto one key, then put a deadbolt into the garage-to-house slab that never got one. Cylinders get repinned rather than replaced whenever there is life left in them, and the part going on is named before it goes on.

Residential services and their price ranges

Nothing is held back for the call: all sixteen jobs and their ranges are on this page. Say which door stopped you and the range closes to one figure on the call, with the evening or overnight hour already counted inside it.

Lock Rekeying

$25–$42 per cylinder

The lock stays on the door and takes new pins, which retires every key already out there. One key for the front door, the garage service door and the slider. $25 to $42 per cylinder, and the second cylinder costs less than the first because the van is already there.

Details and pricing

Lock Replacement & Installation

$118–$299

Deadbolts, knob sets and levers fitted to the bore already in the door, including a first deadbolt for the hollow-core door between the garage and the house. $118 to $299.

Details and pricing

Smart Lock Installation

$179–$449

A keypad or app lock set into the existing bore and coded for the household, the dog walker and whoever waters in August. Codes you pick, punched in twice and tested in front of you. $179 to $449.

Details and pricing

Safe Opening

$205–$535

A safe worked open by feel where it stands, whether the combination is gone or the bolts have jammed, then set to a number you choose. $205 to $535.

On every job

Opened, Then Keyed

Four things that hold the same way for a 1962 ranch house in Sunset East, a bungalow behind an alley garage in the Jensen Tract, a builder keypad in Windmill Springs and a shop unit off Las Positas Road.

One figure on the call, whichever of the three doors it turns out to be. Say which door stopped you and what it is doing. A single figure comes back that holds the $89 visit, the labor and every part that ends up on the door. It does not matter whether the answer is the service door beside the garage, the slab between the garage and the kitchen, or the front door with the cylinder nobody has turned in four years. You hear the number first, and the evening or overnight hour is counted in before you hear it.
The receipt shows that same figure, whatever the technician finds. A knob set from 1962 that has been painted twice. A deadbolt whose strike is screwed into trim instead of the stud. A keypad flat since the July heat. A slab door so swollen the latch has not met the frame since spring. A cylinder that three owners of keys still fit. None of that moves the price. Your card is charged the number from the call, and an itemized receipt lands in your email.
Opened without damage first, and a drill only after you agree. Picks, decoders, shims and bypass tools come out before anything destructive does, so the lock is still a working lock when the van pulls away. If a cylinder genuinely will not give, you hear what it is doing, what would go on in its place and what that costs, and you make the call. Saying yes to a drill never earns anyone a bigger number.
Nobody leaves without a key or a code that works. Opening the door is half the job. The other half is that tomorrow morning is not a repeat of today: a key cut on the spot, a rekey so one key runs the front door, the garage service door and the slider, or a keypad code you choose yourself and punch in twice while the technician is still on the step. Card or tap at the door, and the itemized receipt goes to your inbox under a business name.

Say which of the three doors stopped you, hear the figure, and get inside

Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville and Sunol, 24/7, holidays included. The garage and its service door, the slab between the garage and the kitchen, the front door you never open, a shop unit, a car or a safe: one figure comes back with the $89 visit and the hour counted inside it. And you do not get left standing in an open doorway, because the visit ends with a key or a code that works.
