South San Francisco is one of our regulars.

South City is where a lot of our commercial work lives. The Genentech corridor along Forbes Boulevard, the East of 101 office and lab buildings, the businesses up on Grand Avenue, and the warehouse and light-industrial blocks south of Oyster Point all keep us busy with access control, master key systems, and high-security cylinder work.

Residentially, we're often up on Sign Hill, in Sunshine Gardens, and around Westborough — older single-family neighborhoods where we do a lot of rekeys, deadbolt upgrades, and the occasional smart-lock install. We also do regular work for the property managers running the multi-tenant buildings along the El Camino Real corridor.

Locked myself out of the office on a Sunday morning at Sierra Point. They picked up, were straightforward about timing, and got me back in without damaging the door. Will keep them on speed dial.

We had them set up a master key system across two floors of our office on the Genentech corridor. Thorough, professional, and the documentation they left us is exactly what facilities asked for.

Brand new house in Daly City. Wanted everything rekeyed and a smart lock installed on the front door. They walked me through options honestly — never pushed me into the most expensive thing.

South San Francisco FAQ

Straight answers for South San Francisco.

Questions we get a lot from South San Francisco callers. If yours isn't here, call — we'd rather have a quick conversation than guess wrong.

What should I do if I'm locked out of my car late at night?
Get to a well-lit area or a building lobby, call us, and stay near your car. Most car lockouts are non-destructive — we won't break a window unless absolutely needed and only after explicit confirmation from you.
What does "non-destructive entry" mean?
It means we open most locks without damaging them. We use picks, bypass tools, and air wedges first. We only drill or break a lock as a last resort — and only with your explicit permission.
Are you available for emergencies outside listed hours?
Our listed hours are when we guarantee response. Outside those hours we still take emergency calls and respond when we can. Call us — we'll be honest about timing the moment you call.
Do you work on the Genentech-area lab and office buildings?
Yes. We do regular commercial work on the office and biotech buildings along Forbes Boulevard, Allerton, DNA Way, and the rest of the East of 101 corridor. Access control, master keying, high-security cylinders — call us to walk a site.
Can you set up master key systems for South City office buildings?
That's one of our core services. We've done multi-floor master key hierarchies for office buildings around Oyster Point and the East of 101 corridor, and we leave documentation your facilities team can use.
What about the older single-family homes on Sign Hill?
We work on a lot of them. Many have original hardware from the '40s and '50s. We'll inspect the door, recommend modern deadbolts that fit, and rekey everything to a single key in one visit.
I'm a property manager along El Camino. Do you do tenant turnover rekeys?
Yes — that's a service we offer to landlords and property managers across the Peninsula. Set up an account with us and we'll keep records of every cylinder we rekey for you.
Do you handle access control with badge readers?
Yes. Card readers, fob systems, keypads, and mobile credentials. We'll match the right system to your building, your tenant mix, and your budget — and we won't oversell you on something you don't need.
I locked myself out at the office near Oyster Point. Can you help?
Yes. Commercial lockouts are routine for us. Call us, tell us where you are, and we'll be honest about our soonest availability.
Do you do car keys in South City?
Yes, for most makes and models. Call with your year, make, and model so we can confirm before heading out.
Are you familiar with the buildings around Centennial Towers?
Yes — we've done work there and across the Oyster Point corridor. Happy to come walk your space.
