San Rafael Locksmith for Cars, Mailboxes and Storefronts
A car key gone for good, a car locked with the key on the seat, a mailbox lock that will not turn: small problems that can wreck a San Rafael day. Our van cuts and programs keys at the car, handles mailbox locks, and we speak Spanish.

From Terra Linda to the Canal
By the city's own count, San Rafael has more than thirty neighborhoods. Gerstle Park, the West End, Terra Linda and Peacock Gap all call it home, and so does the Canal along Canal Street and Kerner Boulevard, which the city describes as a majority Latino community with some of the most densely populated blocks in Marin. Two SMART stations, San Rafael and Marin Civic Center, fill up with parked cars on weekdays. We cover all of it, in English or Spanish.
One for trivia night: the smallest structure Frank Lloyd Wright ever designed is on display at the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, his largest existing building. It is a doghouse, drawn for a local boy's Labrador. The county says the dog preferred to sleep in the main house. Fair enough. A home only feels like home when you trust the front door.
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
Do you speak Spanish? My parents live in the Canal.
Yes. Spanish is spoken at Patriot Lock And Key, on the phone and at the door. Tell us what happened in whichever language is easier. You get a ballpark on the phone, the final price before any tool touches the lock, and an itemized receipt with our license number when the job is done.
Can you replace the lock on my mailbox?
Yes. Mailbox locks are among the small locks we handle, along with safes, storage units and cabinets. If your box is part of a shared unit at an apartment building, check with whoever manages it first, since that lock may not be yours to change. For a box that is yours, we can replace the lock on the spot.
My keys are locked in my car downtown. Will you break a window?
No. Car lockouts start with non-destructive entry. The technician looks at the car first and gives you the final price before starting, and you decide. If something unusual comes up, we explain it and wait for your yes. Have proof that the car is yours ready when we arrive.
