New place in Walnut Creek? A rekey makes the old keys useless without replacing the hardware. If the locks are worn, we change them, and you approve the price first.
See the serviceLocked Out of a Home or Condo
We start with non-destructive entry. If drilling is the only way in, we explain why and wait for your yes before any tool touches the lock.

Working in Walnut Creek
Walnut Creek mixes downtown condos, office towers and quiet streets of houses, and the calls follow that mix. Near the BART station and the Golden Triangle office buildings, it is often a door closer or a lost office key. Around Broadway Plaza, a car key that went missing between stores. On the streets around Heather Farm Park, a front door that needs a rekey after a move. In Rossmoor, a unit lock that has worn out. The van is the shop, and it comes to you.
Before it was Walnut Creek, the settlement here was known as The Corners. It took its current name in 1862, when a U.S. Post Office opened. A town that started at a crossroads still has people coming and going at all hours, and that is usually when keys get lost. We answer the phone until 11:30 PM, every day.
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
Can you make a car key if I lost every key while shopping at Broadway Plaza?
Yes. We come to the car with the key machine and programming tools, cut a new key and program it on the spot. Smart keys and push-to-start fobs are covered for most makes. You will need proof of ownership, like the registration and your ID. Call with the year, make and model so we can give you a ballpark first.
I live in a Rossmoor unit or a downtown condo. Can you change my lock?
We can rekey or replace the lock on your own unit door. Doors shared by the building, like lobby entries and gates, usually belong to the association, so we need their okay before working on those. Describe what you have on the phone, and the technician confirms the final price at the door before starting.
Do you work on office doors near the Walnut Creek BART station after hours?
Yes, we are open 7 days, 7:30 AM to 11:30 PM. For businesses we handle door closers, panic bars, card and fob readers, keypads, electric strikes, magnetic locks and master key systems. If a door will not lock at closing time, call and describe it. We look at it, give you the price, and you decide.
