San Mateo County

Daly City is just over the line from where the van lives

Our home turf in San Francisco ends at the county line, and Daly City starts there. Westlake, Serramonte, the hills above Mission Street, the blocks around the BART station: for us it is the same drive as the Excelsior, and we treat it that way.

Car keys in the driveway

Daly City is a car town, and car keys are the thing we do most here. Lost fobs, spares for the second driver in the house, keys that stopped starting the car, and the full all-keys-lost job where we read the car and build a key from nothing. The van carries blanks, smart fobs and the programmers, so the whole thing happens in your driveway or the Serramonte lot and the car never rides on a truck.

Car lockouts are the other side of it: keys on the seat in the Westlake parking lot, or in the trunk with the doors locked. Quick jobs, done with proper tools so the paint and the door seals are untouched.

Houses that change hands

The rows of houses on the hills were built in the fifties and sixties, and they sell and rent steadily. Every change of hands should come with a rekey, and we do many of them: front door, garage side door, back door, all on one key. Bedroom lockouts come up in multi-generation households where several people share one house, and we open those without damage.

We serve all of Daly City, from Top of the Hill down to the ocean side, and we are usually close.

How the price works

Car key prices depend on the make, model and key type, and on whether a working key exists to copy from. Ask on the phone for a range; the final figure is settled once we see the car.

Free on-site estimate on most jobs, and the final price is said before any work starts. You can still say no.

Questions from Daly City

Do you really come to Daly City as fast as to San Francisco?
Yes. Daly City borders our home neighborhoods, so the drive is the same. You get a real arrival time on the phone.
Can you make a fob for a newer car with no key at all?
For most makes, yes, in your driveway. Some newer models take longer; we tell you before we start.
We just bought a house in Westlake. What should we do about the locks?
Put every door on one new key the day you move in. It is quick, and it ends the question of who else has a key.
Do you speak Tagalog or Spanish?
Call the regular number and start in your language. Our line handles Tagalog, Spanish and others.
