What's on the truck
Common questions
Do you handle emergency home lockouts?
Yes. B&B Locksmith handles same-day emergency lockouts Monday–Saturday, 7am–6pm, with an average ETA under 30 minutes across our Bay Area service area. Call 415-423-0182 during business hours and dispatch will give you a real ETA for your address. Have photo ID or proof of residence ready — our technicians verify you live there before opening the door, which protects you as much as it protects the property.
Can you open my door without damaging the lock?
In most cases, yes. B&B Locksmith uses non-destructive entry techniques first — picking, bypassing, or decoding the lock so it keeps working after the door is open. Drilling is the last resort, used only when a lock has failed internally or is a high-security cylinder designed to resist everything else, and we'll tell you before it comes to that.
Should I get a smart lock or stick with a deadbolt?
Both, usually. A quality Grade-1 deadbolt is still the backbone of home security; a smart lock adds convenience — codes for guests, remote unlocking, activity logs. B&B Locksmith installs and services August, Yale, Schlage, and Kwikset smart locks and will tell you honestly whether your door, frame, and Wi-Fi setup will support the model you're considering before you buy it.
How much does a residential locksmith visit cost?
It depends on the work — a lockout, a rekey, and a full hardware upgrade are very different jobs. B&B Locksmith quotes the price with you at the door before any work begins, so there are no surprises when the job is done. Rekeying several locks in one visit costs less per lock than separate trips, so it's worth handling everything at once.
