Sixteen jobs we run across Hayward, each with a published range
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.
Emergency Locksmith
Apartment doors on Tennyson Road with the keys still on the kitchen counter. Tract-house front doors in Burbank that latched behind somebody carrying groceries. Deep porches on Prospect Hill, shopfronts on B Street, cars sitting in the Southland lots and at South Hayward BART. The lock is opened without damage wherever the mechanism allows, so it is still the working lock tomorrow morning. If a door has been kicked or pried, the frame, the strike and the cylinder go back together on the same visit, and the job is described on paper for whoever has to file it.
Emergency overviewHouse Lockout
$115–$199Front doors, screen doors and fenced side yards on any street in the city, opened without damage. $115 to $199, the $89 visit sitting inside that.
Car Lockout
$95–$185Keys shut in the car at Southland, in a BART garage or in a carport off Tennyson Road. Nothing left on the paint or the rubber. $95 to $185.

Residential Locksmith
Turnovers in Jackson Triangle and Southgate where a unit needs every old key retired by Saturday. Builder hardware from the 1950s in Burbank and Glen Eden that has never been off the door. Screen and security doors on the flat streets of Mt. Eden. Side gates and detached garages up in the Highlands. Keypads for a fourplex where four households share one entry, and safes standing in bedroom closets. Cylinders are counted and priced one by one, doors are priced one by one, and you hear what part is going on before it goes on.

Commercial Locksmith
Aluminum glass doors along B Street and Mission Boulevard. Exit devices at the back of restaurant kitchens. Stockrooms and small offices near Southland. Buzzer panels and electric strikes on apartment lobbies. Warehouse and yard doors out toward Eden Shores and the airport. One key for the owner or the manager sitting above a key for every unit. Master key systems and access control get walked and counted on site, then quoted as a single itemized number, because a building nobody has looked at cannot be quoted honestly.

Automotive Locksmith
The Southland lots, the Hayward and South Hayward BART parking, the Chabot College and Cal State East Bay lots, a carport behind a building on Tennyson Road, a driveway on a Burbank cul-de-sac. Photo ID and the registration are matched to the plate before a blank goes into the machine. Nothing is packed away until the engine has fired twice from the new key and the doors lock and unlock with it, and an old key can be dropped from the car's memory if you want that done.
