BERKELEY LOCKSMITH
Ever had one of those days where everything goes wrong at once?

Or maybe you're late for work, hop into your car, and... your key won't turn.

And for over 20 years, we've been Berkeley's go-to locksmith Berkeley whenever someone finds themselves on the wrong side of a locked door.
Call us when you need help. Or, if you're reading this before disaster strikes, save our number - you'll thank yourself later.
We once had a customer, Rachel, who called us from inside her own bathroom. Sounds weird, right? Turns out, the doorknob lock broke while she was getting ready for work. She had no way out. She managed to grab her phone (thankfully) and called us. We sent a locksmith right away, and she was free in under 20 minutes - just in time for her morning meeting.
Lockouts are unpredictable, but they don't have to ruin your day. Whether you're locked out of your house, apartment, office, or car, we'll get you back inside.
You wouldn't believe how many people lose their car keys at the beach. Sand, water, distractions - it's the perfect storm. We once had a guy, Mark, who came back from surfing only to realize his Hyundai key fob had been washed away with the tide. Not ideal. He called the dealership, and they told him it would take a week and cost hundreds of dollars.
We had him a brand-new key within hours, for way less.
We do car key replacements for all makes and models, including:
Let's say you just moved into a new house (congrats, by the way!). The previous owner gave you the keys, but here's the thing: you have no idea how many copies exist. Maybe the old owner gave one to a dog sitter. Or a friend. Or the neighbor. Or maybe they lost one in a parking lot a year ago.
Solution? Rekey your locks.
Rekeying means we change the internal pins so old keys won't work, but you keep the same lock hardware. It's cheaper than replacing locks and just as secure.
But if your locks are worn out, outdated, or just not working as smoothly as they should, upgrading to a better lock can save you stress down the road.
One local café owner in Berkeley called us after they got broken into - twice in one month. The thief found a weak lock on the side door, and just like that, they were inside. Twice.
We installed a high-security commercial door lock, set up keyless entry, and added an access control system so only authorized employees could get in. No more break-ins.

It's one of the first things people ask. How much does a locksmith cost?
The truth? It depends on what you need. Lockouts are usually quick and affordable, but car key replacement, commercial security upgrades, and high-tech smart locks cost more.
But here's what makes us different: we tell you the price upfront. No hidden fees, no surprises.
