Locked Out in Lafayette? The Locksmith Comes to You
Lafayette homes sit up in the hills and down along Mount Diablo Boulevard, and a lost key feels far from help in either place. Patriot Lock And Key drives out with a van set up for lockouts, rekeys and car keys, seven days a week.

Start with what happened
Lockouts in the Lafayette Hills
House, side door or car, we start with non-destructive methods. If a lock has to be drilled, you hear why first, and nothing happens without your yes.
See the serviceCar Keys After a Day on BART
Lost your key somewhere between the train and the parking lot? We cut and program a new one at the car, including most smart keys and push-to-start fobs. Proof of ownership required.
See the serviceRekeys for Newly Bought Homes
You never know who still has a key to the house you just bought. A rekey retires every old key, and the technician confirms the final price before starting.
See the serviceSmart Locks and Keypads
Dead batteries, lost codes, or an app that refuses to pair. We troubleshoot smart locks on Lafayette homes, and if you are locked out by one, we get you inside first.

Hills, Trails and the Lafayette BART Station
In Lafayette we work on houses off Happy Valley Road and Reliez Valley Road, and on shops in the downtown core along Mount Diablo Boulevard. Plenty of people leave a car at the Lafayette BART station or go for a walk at Lafayette Reservoir Park and come back to find the key gone. At homes, it is usually a lockout or a rekey after buying. We come to the address, look first, and give you the price before touching anything.
The Lafayette Library stands on the site of the old Veterans Memorial Building, built in 1938 and 1939 as a Works Progress Administration project. When the veterans moved out, the old hall came down and the library went up in its place. Some doors close so others can open, and our job is making sure the right ones 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 left my car at the Lafayette BART station and lost the key. Can you help there?
Yes. We meet you at the car, cut a new key and program it right there. Most smart keys and push-to-start fobs are covered. Bring your ID and proof of ownership, like the registration. Tell us the year, make and model on the phone and we will give you a ballpark before we head out.
Our house is up on a hillside off Reliez Valley Road. Does that change anything?
Not for the lock itself. Give us the exact address, any gate code, and which door you need opened, since hillside driveways can be hard to spot at night. The technician checks the lock on arrival and gives you the final price before any tool touches it. You decide whether we go ahead.
Can you rekey all the locks on our house so one key opens every door?
In most cases, yes, as long as the locks are compatible with each other. If one of them is not, we tell you and give you options with prices, such as replacing that lock. You decide what gets done, and when we finish you get an itemized receipt with our license number on it.
