Permits, licenses and your utility
California licenses locksmiths through the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Be ready to show proof you live at the address, such as ID or a lease, before a lockout is opened. For a lockout, tell them whether a car, a home or a storage unit is involved so the right tools come along.

Questions from Chula Vista residents
Do locksmiths handle mailbox locks?
Many do. If your mailbox is in a cluster box, the post office or property manager may need to approve the change.
What should I ask a locksmith on the phone?
Ask for the company name, an estimate including any trip fee and an arrival window. If the price on the phone is vague, ask what could change it once they arrive. A clear answer up front avoids surprises at the door.
Which parts of Chula Vista can you help with?
We look for independent pros across Chula Vista, including Rolling Hills Ranch, Northwest Chula Vista, Otay Town and Otay Ranch, and ZIP codes 91910, 91911, 91913, 91914, 91915. Coverage depends on which pros are available that day, so we will tell you right away if we cannot find someone.
What should I do after a break-in?
Call the police first. Once it is safe, a locksmith can repair damaged doors or frames and rekey or replace locks.
Whatever the job, the more detail you share up front, the smoother the first visit tends to go.
