Emergencies we roll for
Home Lockouts
Locked out of your house or apartment. Non-destructive entry first — we open the door without wrecking the lock whenever the hardware allows it.
Business Lockouts
Storefronts, offices, and back-of-house doors. We get your team in and your doors secured so the day keeps moving.
Car Lockouts
Keys locked in the car, lost keys, dead fobs. Non-destructive vehicle entry plus transponder and fob programming on the truck.
Broken Key Extraction
Key snapped off in the cylinder. We extract the fragment and cut a fresh key on-site — rekeying the lock if the break damaged it.
Post-Break-In Rekeying
After a burglary or attempted entry, we rekey or replace compromised locks and secure damaged doors and frames the same visit.
Safe Lockouts
Locked-out safes and vaults opened by a licensed technician — and put back into service, not left as scrap.

Emergency questions, straight answers
How fast can an emergency locksmith reach me in the Bay Area?
B&B Locksmith dispatches from Walnut Creek 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with an average ETA under 30 minutes across our Bay Area service area. We serve San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Berkeley, Concord, San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, and Richmond. Exact timing depends on where you are and traffic, so call 415-423-0182 and dispatch will give you a real ETA for your location before the truck rolls.
How much does an emergency locksmith cost?
It depends on the lock type, the time of day, and whether hardware needs to be replaced — which is why B&B Locksmith quotes the price with you on-site before any work begins. You approve the number first; the work starts second. Be wary of any locksmith advertising a too-good-to-be-true flat rate over the phone — bait-and-switch pricing is the most common complaint in this industry.
Can you open my car without damaging it?
Yes. B&B Locksmith uses non-destructive entry tools for vehicle lockouts, so your door, window, and weather stripping stay intact. If your keys are lost rather than locked inside, we cut and program replacement keys and fobs on the truck, including transponder keys for most makes and models — no tow to the dealership required.
Should I rekey or replace my locks after a break-in?
In most cases rekeying is enough: the lock body stays, the pins change, and every old key stops working. B&B Locksmith replaces hardware only when the break-in physically damaged the lock, the door, or the strike — or when an upgrade to higher-security hardware makes sense for how the property is used. Your technician will show you the damage and walk you through both options on-site.
Are your emergency technicians licensed?
Yes. B&B Locksmith & Security Inc. is a licensed C-28 contractor, bonded and insured, serving the Bay Area since 2009. Our technicians verify ownership before opening any home, business, or vehicle — bring photo ID or proof of residence. That protects you: a locksmith who will open any door for anyone is a locksmith you don't want to hire.
