Frequently asked questions
How much does a lockout cost in Newark?
Lockout service starts at $19.00 plus the $29.00 service call fee. The final price depends on the lock and the security level, and the technician confirms it on site before starting.
Can you rekey instead of replacing my locks?
Usually, yes. Rekeying changes the pins so old keys stop working, and it keeps your existing hardware. Rekeying starts at $19.00 per lock plus the call fee.
Do you make car keys with chips?
Transponder key programming starts at $100.00. Bring the year, make and model to the call so the dispatcher can tell you what your key needs.
Which areas do you cover?
Newark, CA 94560 is the service area. If you are near the Newark border, call and ask; the dispatcher can tell you whether a technician can reach you.
