Start with what happened
Car keys for Kentfield drivers
Lost your key on campus or at home? We cut and program keys at the car, including smart keys and push-to-start fobs for most makes. Bring proof of ownership.
See the serviceLockouts in Kentfield
Locked out of the house or the car, we try non-destructive entry first. The technician tells you the final price before any tool touches the lock.
See the serviceRekeys after a move
New place, or a roommate moved out? Rekeying changes which key works without replacing the lock. Full lock changes too, if you want new hardware.
See the serviceCabinets, mailboxes and safes
Small locks matter too. Filing cabinets, mailboxes, storage units and safes, opened or rekeyed, for Kentfield homes and the small offices around them.

Kentfield, between the campus and the creek
In Kentfield a lost key often means a car sitting in a lot. The College of Marin Kentfield campus on College Avenue brings students and staff who carry one set of keys for everything. Up the hill, Kent Woodlands has homes on winding roads where a clear address helps at night. Down at Kentfield Corners, Corte Madera Creek runs past. We cover all of it from the van, with a key cutting machine and programming tools on board.
College of Marin opened in 1926 as Marin Junior College, on the 13-acre site of the Butler estate, with a first class of 87 students. Our take: a campus runs on keys, from classroom doors to filing cabinets. If a small office or shop nearby needs a rekey or a master key setup, that is work we do.

Straight talk about price
On the phone you tell us what happened, and we give you a ballpark based on that. When the technician arrives, the first thing he does is look at the lock and make sure it matches what you described. A door that sounded simple can turn out to be a different story, and sometimes it is the other way around.
Then you hear the final number, before a single tool touches the lock. You decide, and only then we start. No surprises on the bill, and the receipt carries our license number, LCO 8138.
A name with a reason behind it
Soufiane Gmira named the company in honor of his great-grandfather, who fought in Vietnam. The respect for people who served never left him, and it is the reason every active duty service member and veteran gets a discount from us.
Military and veteran discount. Mention it when you call. That is all it takes.
Asked by neighbors
I lost my car key at College of Marin. Can you make one in the parking lot?
In most cases, yes, as long as the car is there and you can show proof of ownership. The van carries a key cutting machine and programming tools, so the key is cut and programmed at the car. Smart keys and push-to-start fobs work for most makes. Call with the make, model and year for a ballpark.
Kentfield is not a city. Do you still come out here?
Yes. Kentfield is an unincorporated community in Marin County, and we cover it like any town. Patriot Lock And Key is a mobile locksmith based in Concord, with no shop to visit. The van comes to your home or your car, 7 days a week, from 7:30 AM to 11:30 PM. Se habla español.
My house in Kent Woodlands has a long driveway and a gate. What should I tell you when I call?
The street address, a gate code if you can share one, and which lock is the problem. If it is an electronic gate lock or keypad, tell us the brand. That helps us give you a ballpark on the phone. The final price is given on site before any work starts, and you decide.
