Here's exactly what happens when you call us for service in East Palo Alto.

1. You call (888) 492-0666. A live dispatcher picks up. They confirm the address, the issue, and any specifics ("front door deadbolt, Schlage, brushed nickel"). You'll get a clear ETA and a price range.

2. The nearest van rolls. We dispatch the closest fully-stocked technician to your East Palo Alto location. You'll get a text or call when they're a few minutes out.

3. ID and authority verified. For lockouts and rekeys, we verify ownership or authority before opening anything. This protects you and us.

4. On-site assessment. Your tech inspects the lock, door, frame, hardware, and any related issues. We'll explain what we recommend and why.

5. Written, signed quote. Before any work begins, you get a clear written quote. If you don't want to proceed, you don't owe a dime.

6. Clean work. Hardware is installed straight, square, and to manufacturer spec. Strikes are reinforced into the king stud where appropriate. Old hardware is removed and disposed of.

7. Test and tour. We test the lock or system top to bottom, walk you through any new keys/codes/fobs, and answer questions.

8. Receipt and warranty. Itemized receipt by email, plus our workmanship warranty on every install.

9. Key Fob Programming-specific testing. Document key count for vehicle records.

Transparency is more useful than a fake "starting at" number.

Standard key fob programming calls in East Palo Alto are quoted by our dispatcher when you call. The number depends on a few real variables: the lock or system involved, time of day, distance from the nearest van, and any parts required. Once our technician is on site and has eyes on the job, you get a written quote — and you don't pay anything until you sign off.

What we won't do: quote a $19 "service call" on the phone, show up with a $400 number, and pressure you. That's the playbook of pop-up "lowest price" listings, not a real local locksmith.

Payment: Cash, Credit Card, Debit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. We email an itemized receipt the same day, useful for insurance claims, expense reports, or property management records.
