View details →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 most house-lockout arrivals are within 30 minutes, and we get you back inside without a mark on your door.
Every house lockout starts with our $79 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.
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.

Sapir answered immediately (unlike every other service I called which seemed to be a calling center) and quoted me an excellent price to get my BMW X3 car keys replicated without having a master key. Arrived 10 mins after our conversation ended and was very informative about the process. Was done in about 15 mins and relieved so much stress.
I had a nightmare situation with my 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 involving a corrupted immobilizer chip that had been improperly removed, and I truly thought the car was done for. He was able to recover the data from the damaged chip and get the car running again. His expertise, patience, and professionalism were outstanding throughout the process.
Called Marin Locksmith to install new door handle and electronic keypad locks on my front door. Sabir was polite and efficient. He replaced both locks and even rekeyed the locks so I only need 1 key to enter. I would highly recommend him for locksmith work.
Sapir provided an effortless experience today. He promptly called me to let me know an ETA, with a follow up text halfway through. He quickly unlocked my work van with ease, opting to pick the lock to protect the integrity of my door. It took less than 45 minutes from the time I called, to the time he was leaving my driveway.
The mini key I rely on for my 05 Prius doors stopped working. I stopped by a locksmith shop and they said they would need the car dropped off for half a day. Then I found Sapir, the wizard of locks. Within about 20 minutes he re-keyed the lock with both a full size and mini key, and gave my sad looking fob a total facelift.
As a house sitter, I panicked when I could not open the front door which had accidentally slammed closed. Marin Locksmith came to my rescue within the hour, and for a reasonable charge corrected a misalignment in the door and adjusted the lock which had also been giving me grief. All is well that ends well!
