A California-licensed locksmith team serving all San Jose neighborhoods. We answer the phone, quote the job before we start, and do the work without surprise charges.
Who We Are
San Jose Locksmith is a California-licensed locksmith operation serving all San Jose neighborhoods and the broader Silicon Valley area. License LCO 6739, issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). We are not a national franchise or a dispatch center - when you call (408) 614-7772, a real locksmith answers.
Our technicians carry pin tumbler sets for every major residential brand found in San Jose homes - Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Baldwin, Kwikset SmartKey, Schlage Encode. We also carry OBD-II transponder programming equipment for automotive key work and commercial-grade access control hardware for North San Jose office buildings.
We operate across San Jose's diverse range of era and construction styles - from the Eichler flats of Willow Glen and Fairgrounds to 1970s ranch construction in Cambrian and Almaden Valley, to the high-rise condos and condo-conversions in Downtown and North San Jose, to the new mixed-use construction in Berryessa and Evergreen. Local knowledge matters.

Credentials & Standards
California requires all practicing locksmiths to hold a license issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). Ask for it before anyone works on your door or vehicle.
Issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). You can verify this license number directly at BSIS.ca.gov at any time. The license is the legally required credential for any locksmith operating in California - not a badge or a certificate.
We carry general liability insurance covering property damage during service. If something goes wrong during a lockout - which is rare when using proper technique - you are covered. Ask any locksmith to show proof of insurance before starting work.
We provide the total price before we start work. This is not a standard across the industry. Many unlicensed or out-of-area locksmiths quote a low dispatch fee and then add charges at the door. We do not do that - ever.
After every job you get an invoice - service performed, parts used, final price. Useful for property managers who track maintenance, for insurance documentation after a break-in, and for your records as a homeowner.
Why Call Us
We live and work here. We know which streets go through, which blocks have parking, which buildings have keypad entry. Local knowledge cuts minutes off every dispatch.
The price we quote on the phone is the final price. We do not add a "service fee", a "weekend rate", or a "difficulty surcharge" after we arrive. Price is agreed before work starts.
We pick and bypass before we ever drill. Most residential lockouts do not require any damage to the lock. We carry the tools and have the training to handle most situations without destruction.
Open Sunday through Friday, 9 AM to 9 PM. If you are locked out on a Sunday evening in Cambrian or a Monday morning in North San Jose - we pick up.
California Locksmith License LCO 6739 - publicly verifiable. Many locksmith directories list unlicensed operators. We are not one of them. License number works in BSIS search.
We do not pick and choose profitable zip codes. Willow Glen, Cambrian, Almaden, Berryessa, Alviso, Japantown, Communications Hill, and North San Jose all get the same response time and same rate.
