Big lots, old oaks, real locks

Atherton is not a town of small apartments with one front door. Many homes sit far back from the street behind gates, side yards and detached garages, and every one of those openings has a lock that someone has to look after. Pool houses. Guest cottages. Wine rooms. A mailbox at the end of the drive.

That spread is why a mobile locksmith makes sense here. The work happens at your property: rekeying a whole house so one key fits the main doors, fitting a deadbolt to a side gate, or cutting a spare for a housekeeper or gardener. Short jobs. Clear prices.

Lock grades, explained plainly

Locks sold in the US are rated by ANSI/BHMA. Grade 1 is the toughest rating and suits exterior doors such as the front entry and the door from the garage into the house. Grade 2 and Grade 3 locks are fine for interior doors, closets and low-risk spaces. Electronic and keypad locks are available too, if you would rather hand out codes than keys.

Popular requests

• Lockouts — home, car and office, opened with care for the lock and door.
• New keys — standard, high-security and laser-cut keys, plus transponder car keys cut and programmed on site.
• Broken key extraction — the snapped piece is removed so the lock keeps working.
• Lock repair and replacement — sticking, loose or worn locks fixed, or swapped when repair no longer makes sense.
• Rekeying — old keys stop working; you get a new set. Common after a move or a staff change.
• Tenant eviction lock changes — handled calmly, then the property is secured.
• Ignition switch repair — a failing ignition can leave you stranded, so it is worth fixing early.

Free security consultation

Building, remodelling or just moved in? You can ask for a free, no-obligation look at your locks. The locksmith walks the property, notes weak spots — an old rim lock on a side door, a garage entry with no deadbolt, too many unaccounted-for keys — and suggests what to change. You decide what, if anything, to do.
