Pricing
Every price we charge in Hayward, published.
Every job is priced from the list below. The figure is said while you are still on the phone, and the receipt shows the same figure whatever the technician finds at the door. The ranges below are what these jobs cost across Hayward, San Lorenzo and the unincorporated strip beside them; the call turns a range into one figure.

How a range on this page closes into one figure
Hayward is a city of very different doors, so the page carries ranges. Three questions on the call close a range down to one figure.
Which door
A 1920s mortise set on Upper B Street, an aluminium storefront on Mission with a hook bolt, a builder-grade deadbolt in a Tennyson rental and a buzzer panel on a fourplex are four different openings. What is on the door decides whether it is picked, decoded or, rarely, drilled, and that is the first thing talked through.
Who is on the other side of it
A tenant with a lease, an owner standing in the driveway, a manager holding sixty units, a shop owner at closing time. Half this city rents, so the questions differ: whose authorisation is needed for a rekey, how many cylinders are keyed alike, whether a landlord needs the job described in a line they can file.
The hour
Evenings from 8pm carry $45 inside the figure, and the hours after midnight carry $80. You hear the total, not a surcharge, and weekends and holidays run at daytime rates.
What is never added
No mileage to the Highlands or out to Fairview, no fee for a side gate or a second door, no line for a second attempt, and drilling never costs more than opening it cleanly would have. If the plan changes at the door, it changes with your yes, at the same figure.
FAQ
What people ask about the bill
What is inside the number I hear on the phone, and what could add to it?+
The $89 service call, the labor, whatever part goes on the door, and the night hour if there is one, rolled into a single number. Stairs, a gated lot, a buzzer lobby, a unit at the back of a complex, a long strip driveway on a San Leandro avenue: none of that moves it. The one thing that can add is work you decide on once the technician is there, such as putting new pins in the back door while the front one is standing open. That gets a number of its own out loud, and it starts when you say so and not before.
Is it more at night, on a weekend or on a holiday?+
Saturday, Sunday and holidays cost the same as a Tuesday afternoon. The clock is the only thing that changes it: $45 goes on between 8pm and midnight, $80 between midnight and 7am. Both are folded into the number you hear, so nothing surfaces later. A house lockout that is $115 in daylight is quoted as $160 at eleven at night and $195 at four in the morning, and the receipt matches what you agreed to.
24/7 — nights, weekends & holidays
The van is already in town, and the number comes before it moves
Hayward, San Lorenzo, Cherryland and Ashland, San Leandro, Castro Valley and Union City, 24/7, holidays included. Describe the door, hear one number with the $89 visit inside it, and the lock gets opened without damage wherever it can be. The receipt says what the call said. It runs the same way whether the lease is in your name or the deed is.
