Reviews are the only marketing we can’t write ourselves.

We don’t offer discounts for reviews. We don’t filter out the critical ones. What you read here is what happened.
Recent Reviews
We bought a place in Willow Glen with four different keys for four different doors, and the back deadbolt was installed so the thumb turn was on the outside. Daniel pointed it out, rekeyed everything to one key, and fixed the backwards install. Written price was $28 per cylinder, total came to exactly what he quoted. Photo record showed before and after.

Our office in North San Jose needed access control on three doors after a key holder left. Novak quoted a flat per-door price for the readers and the programming, showed up with background-checked techs in uniform, and left us a written scope plus the photo record. Haven Standard Clause 1 held up: phone price matched invoice exactly.
- Tim M., North San Jose
Locked out of our house in Almaden Valley at 11 PM on a Saturday. Called (669) 201-7095, got a human voice immediately, no callback window. Dispatcher quoted $145 for the emergency unlock, technician arrived in 22 minutes, price on the invoice was $145. He even checked the strike plate while he was there and noted it was loose.

We had a Schlage deadbolt that was sticking in the Rose Garden area. Another company quoted $189 to replace it. Novak’s free second opinion found the bolt was misaligned with the strike, fixed it in ten minutes, charged $45. They showed me the photo record afterward. I switched our property management account to them that week.
- Hector V., Rose Garden, San Jose
Needed all locks rekeyed in our new Berryessa condo after a roommate moved out. Six cylinders total, quoted $28 each over the phone. Technician arrived, confirmed the count, did the work in 45 minutes. Gave me the written warranty and the photo record on the spot. No upsell, no “while I’m here” pitch. Just the work, documented.

Our commercial building in Japantown had a master key system that nobody could figure out, three different locksmiths had looked at it. Daniel’s tech spent twenty minutes tracing the bitting, found the master was pinned to a discontinued keyway, and rebuilt the core set with a written scope for each door. Factory-authorized work on the Mul-T-Lock cylinders, priced in writing before he touched the first one.
