Fremont is an East Bay city in southern Alameda County bordering Newark, Union City and Milpitas; it formed in 1956 from five towns that remain its districts: Centerville, Niles, Irvington, Mission San José and Warm Springs. Fremont Boulevard, Mowry Avenue, Mission Boulevard (CA-238), Paseo Padre Parkway and Auto Mall Parkway are the main corridors; landmarks include Mission San José, the Niles district, Lake Elizabeth, Ardenwood Historic Farm and Mission Peak Regional Preserve. Housing is largely 1950s and 1960s subdivisions such as Glenmoor Gardens, with hillside terrain in Mission San José; the Tesla factory in Warm Springs is the largest employer. I-880, I-680, CA-84 and CA-238 cross the city.

Technicians are dispatched to addresses across Fremont from the line at (888) 492-0666, which is answered around the clock; the dispatcher gives you an ETA before anyone is sent.

• Lockouts and entry: Home Lockout and Apartment Lockout Service. Non-destructive entry first, after the technician confirms you live there.
• Rekeying and key control: Lock Rekeying and Tenant Move-Out Rekey. Existing locks kept, old keys stop working, doors keyed alike or arranged under a master key.
• New locks and upgrades: Lock Installation, High-Security Locks, Smart Lock Installation, Keyless Entry / Electronic Locks and Door Reinforcement & Strike Plate Upgrade. Deadbolts, keypad and connected locks, restricted keyways, and the strike and frame work that makes a lock worth having.
• Repairs: Lock Repair, Door Knob & Handle Repair, Patio & Sliding Door Lock Repair, Garage Door Lock Repair and Gate Lock Installation & Repair. Sticking cylinders, loose handles, misaligned strikes, sliding-door hooks and gate latches.
• Mailboxes, cabinets and safes: Mailbox Lock Replacement, Cabinet & Drawer Lock Installation and Home Safe Service. Small locks that still need the right cam, key and fit.

Each of these has its own Fremont page with what is included, what to have ready and the questions people ask about that job.

1. Call (888) 492-0666 and describe the door. Front door deadbolt, side gate, sliding patio door: the brand stamped on the lock face helps the technician bring matching parts.
2. The dispatcher confirms the address and gives you an ETA. You hear now if an after-hours charge applies to your address.
3. The technician verifies that you are authorized. Photo ID with the address, a lease or closing documents, or confirmation from the owner or property manager for a rental.
4. You get a written quote before any work starts. Lockouts are opened non-destructively first; drilling is a last resort and only with your approval.
5. The work is done and every key is tested in every door. Rekeyed doors are checked with the new keys and the old ones, so you know the old keys no longer work.
6. You receive a receipt listing what was changed. Useful for landlords, HOA records and insurance.

Most houses and condos use a short list of lock types. Knowing which one is on your door helps the dispatcher send the right parts.

• Deadbolts: the primary lock on an exterior door. ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 is the strongest residential grade; Grade 3 is builder grade.
• Knob and lever sets: the latch you turn; on their own they are not a security lock.
• Mortise locks: common in older houses and some condo buildings. The lock body sits in a pocket in the door, and parts are not interchangeable with cylindrical locks.
• Keypad and smart deadbolts: battery powered, usually with a mechanical key override. Connected models add remote locking, temporary codes and logs.
• High-security cylinders: restricted keyways that cannot be copied at a kiosk, with drill and pick resistance.
• Strike plates and reinforcement: the part most break-ins defeat. Long screws into the framing and a reinforced strike matter as much as the lock.
• Brands commonly found on homes in this area include Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, Yale, Emtek, Medeco and Mul-T-Lock.
