Why Marin chooses us

Three reasons people never call anyone else.

15min

Real arrival windows.

We track every van in real time. Dispatch confirms an exact ETA before you hang up — 15 minutes for most of Marin, slightly longer for the coast. Either way, no call-center estimate.

LCO8487

Licensed & bonded.

California-licensed locksmith, fully insured, every tech background-checked and badge-identified. We hand you the credentials before we touch a lock.

$29

Upfront, not surprise.

Your $29 base fee covers dispatch and the service call. You see the full price in writing before we start. No "actually that'll be $400."

Everything we handle in Marin, on one visit.

Every service below is a flat-rate, on-site fix. No two-visit games, no parts markups, no "we'll have to come back tomorrow."

24/7 house lockout

Locked out of your house? We get you back inside without damage.

Keys locked inside on the counter, a door that slammed shut with the deadbolt engaged, or a lost house key at the worst possible time - a house lockout always seems to happen after dark or right as you're headed out the door. The wrong move is prying at the door or forcing the lock with a screwdriver, which can crack the frame, bend the strike plate, or ruin a lock that was otherwise fine.

Marin Locksmith uses professional lock-picking and non-destructive bypass tools built for residential deadbolts, knob locks and smart locks - not automotive tools, and not a drill unless you ask us to. We're stationed across the county, so the average house-lockout arrival is 15 minutes, and we get you back inside without a mark on your door.

Common house lockout situations

  • Locked out with keys inside
  • Lost your house keys
  • Lock won't turn / door won't open
  • Renter or landlord lockout

What it costs in Marin

Every house lockout starts with our $29 dispatch fee, and we always quote the full price in writing before any work begins - no guessing, no surprise number after you're already committed. You don't pay until you're back inside and satisfied. License #LCO8487.

How a house lockout call works

  1. Call and confirm the addressTell dispatch your address and whether you're the resident, a renter or the property owner. Locked out of an apartment or condo? Mention that too so we bring the right expectations.
  2. A tech is dispatched in secondsThe nearest mobile van heads your way; dispatch gives you a real ETA, usually around 15 minutes across Marin.
  3. Non-destructive entryWe open the door with lock-picking and bypass tools made for residential locks - no drilling, no damaged frame, no forced entry unless you specifically ask for it.
  4. Back inside & secureYou're inside in minutes. If you'd rather not rely on the same key again, we can rekey or replace the lock on the same visit.

About house lockouts in Marin

We handle lockouts on standard deadbolts, knob and lever locks, smart locks and multi-point entry systems on houses, apartments, condos and HOA units throughout Marin County. Whether it's your front door, a back entry or a garage side door, our techs carry picks and bypass tools sized for residential hardware - not automotive lockout gear.

"Showed up in 12 min at 1am."

Locked my keys in the car at a gas station at 1am. Called. They said 15 minutes, arrived in 12. Fair price and super professional. No upsell, no surprise charges.

"Saved me $300 vs the dealer."

Lost the only key to my Tacoma. Toyota wanted $450 plus a tow. Marin Locksmith cut and programmed a new transponder in my driveway in 25 minutes for $150. The bridge logo on the van made me trust them instantly — very local-feeling.

"Smart lock install with no upselling."

Moved into a new house and wanted the deadbolts replaced plus a smart lock on the front door. They quoted on the phone, the price didn't change, and they were done in under an hour. Cleanup was perfect.

"Office rekey in one trip."

Fired an employee on a Friday. Called Marin Locksmith. They had every cylinder rekeyed by Saturday morning so we could open Monday with new keys. Saved us a full week of stress.

"Re-keyed to office doors same day."

Had to re-key six office doors because I lost the master. Everything was finished and tested in two hours. Honest, professional, fair price. Will call them again.

"Trapped in the car at midnight in Mill Valley."

Rented a car at SFO and somehow locked the keys inside near the Mill Valley exit. Tech was there in 18 minutes, no damage, no drama. Just polite and fast.

Common questions

About house lockout in Marin.

Will you have to drill or damage my door to get in?
No. For a house lockout we use lock-picking and non-destructive bypass tools made for residential deadbolts and knob locks - not automotive tools. Drilling is a last resort we'd only use with your permission if the lock itself is broken.
Will opening my door damage the lock or the frame?
In almost every case, no. Professional lock-picking and bypass leave the lock and door completely intact, so you keep locking up the same way you always have.
Can you make me a new house key on the spot?
Yes. If you've lost your keys entirely, or just want a spare, we can cut a new key on site once we've verified you're the resident.
I'm locked out of an apartment or condo - can you still help?
Yes, we handle apartment, condo and HOA units regularly. We'll ask for proof you live there (ID matching the address, a lease, etc.) before opening any unit, and we're glad to work with property managers or landlords when needed.
I'm a renter or a landlord locked out - who can request entry?
We can open the door for the resident of record or the property owner/landlord. Tenants may be asked to confirm a lease or ID; landlords should be prepared to show proof of ownership or management.
How fast can you get to my house?
Average arrival across Marin is about 15 minutes, and once a tech is on scene most house lockouts are resolved in just a few minutes.
Do I pay before or after?
After. You only pay once you're back inside and satisfied. We take cash, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Zelle.
