Security for Children

  • ​The Internet is not the place to find a service company, just because they have ads with Google, Yahoo, Bing, YP, or have a website; does not mean they are a legitimate company; for example there are several "Daly City Locksmiths" listed but there is only one real company with that name.
  • When you call the company, if they answer the phone "Locksmith" ask them for the name of the company. If they can't give you a name or its not the company you were calling hang up.
  • Take time and meet the person that can access your home; go down to their place of business and talk to them.
  • Check with your state licensing agency; most states have a website.
  • Put our number 650 992-2451 and two other trusted locksmiths in your cell phone BEFORE YOU NEED THEM !!!! DON'T CALL 411! You will probably not get who you want.
  • Watch out for SCAMS and low ball quotes $30.00 is not what it costs for a locksmith. 
  • Ask for an estimate before they come out and make sure to check that it does not change after they arrive. Sometimes because we can not see what is there or someone else has worked on it, the price can change, but normally the locksmith will know upon arrival.
  • Ask for ID once they arrive. Drivers license and state permit. (In CA. the permit should start with LOC or LCO.)

Here are some links to help you find reputable locksmiths and contractors.
