Sixteen jobs we run across San Leandro, each with a published range
Every job is priced from the list below. The figure is said on the call with the unit it is counted in — per visit, per cylinder, per door — and the receipt repeats it.
Emergency Locksmith
A front door in Washington Manor that latched behind somebody carrying a laundry basket. A flat above a shop on East 14th with the keys on the kitchen table. A stockroom on Alvarado that seized with a delivery waiting on the ramp. Cars in the Bayfair lots, at the two BART stations and out in the airport long-term rows. The mechanism is opened without damage wherever it allows, so it is still the working lock in the morning. When 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 written up for whoever has to file it.
Emergency overviewHouse Lockout
$119–$205Front doors, screen doors, side gates and garage man-doors anywhere in the city, opened without damage. $119 to $205 per visit, the $89 visit counted inside it.
Car Lockout
$99–$189Keys shut in the car at Bayfair, in a BART garage, in an airport long-term row or in a carport off Bancroft. Nothing marked on the paint or the rubber. $99 to $189.
Business Lockout
$129–$239Shops, stockrooms, offices and yard buildings, opened once a lease, a badge or a manager settles who you are. $129 to $239.

Residential Locksmith
Original mortise and knob sets on the wide streets of Estudillo Estates and Best Manor, some of them never off the door since the thirties. Arched doors and side gates on the Broadmoor curves. Post-war tract hardware in Washington Manor and Floresta Gardens, garages facing the street. Long driveways and detached garages up the slope in Bay-O-Vista. Turnovers in the fourplexes off Bancroft where every old key has to be retired by the weekend. Cylinders are counted one at a time, doors are priced one at a time, and the part going on is named before it goes on.
Residential overviewLock Rekeying
$26–$42 per cylinderThe lock stays on the door and takes new pins, which retires every key already out there. $26 to $42 per cylinder, counted door by door.
Lock Replacement & Installation
$115–$299Deadbolts, knob sets, levers and mortise bodies carried on the van, with the make and grade named beforehand. $115 to $299 per door.

$179–$449A keypad or app lock set into the bore already in the door and coded for the household, the dog walker and the owner. $179 to $449.
Safe Opening
$185–$495A 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. $185 to $495.
Commercial Locksmith
The industrial belt west of the tracks runs on doors nobody thinks about until one stops working. Man-doors beside roll-ups on Davis Street. Exit devices at the back of kitchens on Washington Avenue. Freight and yard doors along Doolittle Drive. Aluminum glass fronts on East 14th with hookbolts that no longer throw. Buzzer panels and electric strikes on the apartment blocks by Halcyon and Foothill. One key for a manager sitting above a key for every unit. Master key systems and access control are walked and counted on site first, then quoted as one itemized figure, because a building nobody has looked at cannot be quoted honestly.
Commercial overviewMaster Key Systems
custom quoteOne key sitting over a key for every door, for a fourplex off Bancroft or sixty doors in a Davis Street building. Walked and counted, then quoted as one figure.
Panic Bars & Exit Devices
$289–$739Push bars and exit devices for kitchens, shops and warehouse doors, fitted, rebuilt or brought back into line. $289 to $739 per door.

Storefront Door Locks
$155–$449Aluminum glass doors on East 14th and Washington Avenue: hookbolts that will not throw, worn deadlatches, tired cylinders, closers that slam. $155 to $449.
Automotive Locksmith
The Bayfair Center lots, the San Leandro and Bay Fair BART garages, the airport long-term rows and rental returns off Doolittle, a carport behind a building on Bancroft, a driveway on a Floresta Gardens cul-de-sac, a trailer in a Davis Street yard. Photo ID and the registration are matched to the plate before a blank goes near the machine. Nothing is packed up until the engine has fired twice from the new key and the doors lock and unlock with it, and a lost key can be dropped from the vehicle memory if you want that done.
