Signs You Need Change Locks

  • You've had a break-in or attempted entry
  • You want a security or style upgrade
  • Rekeying isn't possible on your hardware

  • Brand-new hardware, not just a rekey
  • Great after break-ins or for upgrades
  • Grade-rated and smart lock options
  • Matching finishes across your doors
  • Keyed alike to one convenient key

Good locksmithing is about doing the small things right — clean cuts, correct components, proper alignment and a final test before we leave. We take that care on every change locks job in San Rafael, because the details are what separate a lasting fix from a temporary patch.

We believe part of good service in San Rafael is helping you avoid the next problem. Depending on your situation, that might mean recommending a backup key, a sturdier deadbolt, a smart lock for convenience, or routine maintenance to keep hardware working.
