Bay 02 · The call

How a call goes

Oakland's housing is a patchwork. Craftsman bungalows in Dimond, Victorians in West Oakland, 1960s apartment blocks around the lake, hillside houses in Montclair with three levels of doors. Each takes different hardware, so the description you give on the phone matters.

Call 510-731-0612. Dispatch asks for the address and cross street, the type of lock and what went wrong. You get an approximate estimate from that. The locksmith who takes the job checks the real lock and confirms the price before starting anything.

Prices, coupons and the terms of service are all published on this site. Read them first if you like. No pressure.

Bay 05 · Be ready

Have these four things ready

  1. Street and cross street

    Oakland has repeating street names across districts. A cross street avoids a wrong turn in the hills.

  2. Type of lock

    Deadbolt, knob, mortise, smart lock, padlock, gate lock, or a car's make and year.

  3. Proof you live there

    ID with the address, a lease or a vehicle registration. Expect to be asked.

  4. What went wrong

    Lost keys, a snapped key, a stuck bolt, or a break-in. It changes the tools and the estimate.
