Locked out, moving in or replacing a worn lock? Mountain View Locksmith takes calls for homes, cars and businesses across the city, with a starting price on the phone before anyone is sent.
Dispatch line
Prices are quoted on the phone first. The final figure is confirmed before work starts.
What gets fixed
Mountain View mixes 1950s ranch houses, downtown apartments, storefronts on Castro Street and office suites in North Bayshore. Each has its own locks and its own problems. Here is where to start.
Rekeying after a move, deadbolts, lock changes, sliding doors and home lockouts.
Storefront cylinders, master key systems, office lockouts and file cabinet locks.
Car lockouts, new keys, transponder programming, fobs and ignition repair.
Lockouts, snapped keys and break-in damage that can't wait until morning.
Lock grades, plainly
Door locks sold in the US are graded under ANSI/BHMA standards. Grade 1 is the toughest, built for heavy use and attack resistance. Grade 2 suits most interior doors. Grade 3 is basic.
For outside doors, including the door from the garage, ask for Grade 1. For a bedroom or closet, Grade 2 is plenty. Electronic and keypad locks come in grades too, so check before you buy.

Usually. Rekeying keeps the lock and changes the key, so old keys stop working. Replacement makes more sense when a lock is worn or too weak for an exterior door.
