Plot 01 / Locked out
First steps
If a child or pet is locked in a car or anyone is in danger, call 911. Otherwise check other doors, a roommate or a property manager for a spare, then call the dispatch line with the address and a callback number.
Plot 02 / Costs
What it costs
The published sheet lists a $29.00 service call fee and lockout service starting at $19.00. Evening and weekend calls use the same sheet; confirm on the call. The technician confirms the total before starting.
Have ID with the address ready.

Plot 05 / FAQ
Questions people ask
How soon can someone come?
It depends on traffic and bookings. Ask for an honest estimate on the call.
Will the lock be drilled?
Most lockouts open without drilling. If drilling is needed, a replacement is quoted first.
What proof do I need?
Photo ID with the address, a lease or a utility bill.
Plot 06 / Callback
Request a callback
Leave a number and a short note. A dispatcher calls back to confirm the job, the address and the starting price before anyone is sent. For a lockout in progress, calling 510-731-0605 is quicker.
