A front door lock that sticks, a set of keys that left with the old tenant, a deadbolt you are standing on the wrong side of. Patriot Lock And Key handles all three across Pleasant Hill from a fully equipped van, early morning to late evening.

Lock Changes and Rekeys in Pleasant Hill
Rekey so the old keys stop working, or swap worn locks for new ones. The technician checks the lock, gives the final price, and you decide before work begins.
See the serviceHome and Apartment Lockouts
Locked out on a Pleasant Hill street after dark? We are open until 11:30 PM daily and try non-destructive entry first. Drilling only happens after we explain why and you agree.
See the serviceCar Keys Cut in Your Driveway
The van carries a key cutting machine and programming tools, so a new key or push-to-start fob for most makes gets made right at the car. Proof of ownership required.
See the serviceSmart Locks That Stopped Cooperating
Dead batteries, a lost code, or an app that will not pair. We sort out smart locks on Pleasant Hill homes and rentals and get the door working again.

Pleasant Hill, Door to Door
Pleasant Hill runs from quiet streets of older ranch homes to apartments near Diablo Valley College and the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART station. Older doors often need only a rekey or a fresh deadbolt. A landlord near campus can rekey between tenants so the last set of keys stops working. Shops in Downtown Pleasant Hill and along Contra Costa Boulevard call us for door closers, keypads and storefront locks that will not latch.
Diablo Valley College began in 1949 as East Contra Costa Junior College, holding classes in high schools, banks, churches and even an old army camp. In 1952 it moved to its present site, into ten steel buildings acquired from the government. A school that started out in borrowed rooms knows what it means to finally have keys of its own.
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 rent near Diablo Valley College. Should the locks be rekeyed when I move in?
It is worth asking your landlord, because nobody can say how many old keys are still out there. A rekey changes the pins inside the lock so every previous key stops working, and the lock itself stays on the door. With the owner's approval we can rekey the front door and any side doors in one visit and hand you fresh keys.
Can you fix a smart lock that lost its connection to the app?
Often, yes. Dead batteries, a forgotten code and an app that will not pair are problems we handle on smart locks all the time. If the lock itself has failed, we explain the options and give you the price before replacing anything. Nothing gets swapped out unless you say so, and you get an itemized receipt.
How do I know what a lock change in Pleasant Hill will cost?
We give you a ballpark on the phone based on what you describe. When the technician arrives and sees the lock, you get the final price before any tool touches it. If you say no, no work happens. When the job is done you get an itemized receipt that shows our license number, LCO 8138.
