10 years in business

Ten years is long enough to have worked through a lot of Sacramento summers, winter storms, and holiday weekends. It also means our name and reputation are tied to this area. A locksmith who plans to be here next year has every reason to do honest work this year.

California BSIS License No. LCO7811

In California, locksmith companies are licensed by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, usually shortened to BSIS. Our license number is LCO7811, and we are insured. You can look the number up through the state’s public license search. We encourage it. Checking a license is simple, and it is one of the easiest ways to avoid handing your keys to someone who shouldn’t have them.

A 4.8-star rating on Google

Our 4.8-star Google rating comes from customers who wrote about their own experience, in public, where anyone can read it. We point people there because a rating you can check means more than any claim we could make on this page.

Open around the clock

Our hours don’t have a daytime version and a nighttime version. The line is open every hour of every day, weekends and holidays included, and a call at 2 p.m. is handled exactly the way a call at 2 a.m. is: someone answers, you tell us what happened, and we come to you.

How a Call Works at Any Hour

Plenty of people put off calling a locksmith at night and wait until morning, hoping for the best. There is no need to wait. Here is how a call goes at any hour:

  1. You call and describe the problem.
  2. A licensed locksmith comes out to you. There is a $29 trip fee.
  3. Once we have seen the work, we give you the price for the job before we start. For vehicles, the year, make, and model factor in.

A call at 11 p.m. on a holiday goes the same way as one on a Tuesday afternoon.

Who Calls a Locksmith After Hours

The people who call us late at night or early in the morning usually aren’t doing anything unusual. Their day just didn’t end on schedule.

Late shifts and late nights

Nurses, restaurant staff, warehouse crews, and anyone else who finishes work after dark know the feeling of reaching into a pocket and finding nothing. So does anyone walking back to a car after an event at Golden 1 Center, or getting home after midnight to a front door that won’t open. Our car lockout service handles the vehicle side of those nights without breaking a window.

Early mornings

Some of the most stressful calls come before sunrise. The kids need to get to school, the commute on I-80 or US-50 is about to back up, and the house key or car key is nowhere to be found. Waiting until a shop opens could mean missing half the day. Because we are a mobile locksmith, there is no shop to wait for in the first place. You can call at 5 a.m. and have a locksmith on the way to your door or your car.

Weekends and holidays

Holidays bring extra keys into the picture: guests coming and going, bags packed and unpacked, spare keys handed to relatives. A door that locks behind you on Thanksgiving morning is still a door that needs to open. Our house lockout service covers how we get you back into your home without damage, any day of the year.

Someone Answers, Every Time

Being open all night only helps if the phone actually gets picked up. When you call us at any hour, someone answers. You explain what happened, answer a few questions about the lock or the vehicle, and we send a locksmith to you.

Some people apologize for calling so late. There is no need. Night, weekend, and holiday calls are the work we signed up for when we chose to stay open around the clock, and a caller at 3 a.m. gets the same patience, and the same straight answers as a caller at midday.

If you are dealing with an urgent situation right now, such as a lockout in an unsafe spot or a lock that just failed, our emergency locksmith page walks through what to do safely while you wait for us.

Checking Out a Locksmith at 2 a.m.

Late at night, most people call the first number they find. That’s understandable, but a few simple questions on the phone can save you from a bad experience with any locksmith, including us.

  • Ask for the license number. A California locksmith company should be able to give you its BSIS number without hesitation. Ours is LCO7811.
  • Ask for the price before any work starts. A vague range, or “we’ll see when we’re done,” leaves room for the number to grow once your lock is already in pieces.
  • Ask whether there is a trip fee. With us, it is $29.
  • Expect to be asked for proof of residence or ownership. A locksmith who opens a home or car without checking is a locksmith who would open yours for someone else. We ask every time.
  • Read the reviews. Our 4.8-star rating is on Google, and the reviews are there for anyone to read.

None of those checks take long, and every one of them matters more at night, when you are tired and have fewer choices.

What Our Google Reviews Say

One recent review speaks to what matters most when someone you care about is stuck:

“My granddaughter was stranded and stressed, and Allan got her out of it quickly and kindly. He did exactly what he promised. Changed the course of her day. Very grateful.”

Becki P., Google review

“He did exactly what he promised” is the part we care about. Allan tells you what the job involves up front, then sticks to it.

Where We Work Around the Clock

Sacramento is where we are based and where the majority of our night calls start. Day or night, our Sacramento locksmith service reaches neighborhoods from Downtown and Midtown to Natomas, Oak Park, and the Pocket. North of the city, we take night and weekend calls from North Highlands. Closer to Arden Fair and the busy corridors around it, we cover homes, cars, and businesses in Arden-Arcade.

For everywhere else we go, including communities along I-80 and US-50, see our full list of service areas. Wherever you are and whatever time it is, the process is the same: call, tell us what happened, and have a licensed locksmith on the way.
