Yes. Tim's Locksmith Service holds California BSIS License LCO #7134. General liability insurance runs through State Farm, BBB rating sits at A+, and the business has years of service across the region. License numbers and insurance certificates can be verified before any work starts. Ask the tech on site and he will show you the paperwork.

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, cash, and Zelle are all accepted. Every job gets a flat rate quote over the phone before the van rolls, and the number on the invoice matches the number you heard on the call. No trip fees tacked on at the end. No upsell pressure once the tech is in your driveway. If the scope changes after we arrive, we stop and requote before continuing.

Standard hours run 7 AM to 9:30 PM, seven days a week. Outside those hours an after hours emergency dispatch covers lockouts and urgent calls. If the line rings through, leave a message and the on call tech returns it quickly. Scheduled work books inside standard hours. Emergencies get handled whenever they land.

Yes, every time. There is no way to know how many copies the previous owner handed out over the years. Contractors, cleaners, neighbors, adult kids. We rekey every exterior cylinder to one new key in about 45 minutes and hand you matching copies before the van leaves. Most buyers in this city book us the same week escrow closes.

Yes. Break in calls get priority dispatch. Damaged cylinders get replaced, bent strike plates swapped, jambs reinforced where the frame split, and the whole door upgraded to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt on the spot. If the door itself is compromised we board it secure until a carpenter can handle the replacement. Insurance friendly invoices on request.

Yes, and the van carries the mainstream brands: Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, August, and Kwikset Halo. For homes near the water we recommend housings rated for wet exposure because the marine layer damages builder grade electronics fast. Install, pair to your hub or phone, and a walkthrough of the app before we head out.

Dispatch out of Hillcrest puts typical arrival into downtown Oceanside at 40 to 60 minutes. Call the line, give us the address, and the closest van rolls. Non destructive entry on the door, then a fresh cylinder or a rekey on the spot if you want a new key made the same visit.

You do not need new locks. You need a rekey. That swaps the internal pins so the old key no longer turns the cylinder, without replacing the hardware itself. Takes about 20 minutes per door, costs a fraction of a full replacement, and leaves you with one key that works every exterior door. Standard turnover job.
