Residential Locksmith Services You Can Rely On
Your home should be the one place you feel completely secure. Alameda Locksmiths provides residential locksmith service to houses, duplexes, condominiums and apartments across Alameda, from the Victorians near Park Street to the waterfront condos at Marina Village and the newer homes on Bay Farm Island. We come to you, day or night, with the tools and hardware to finish the job in one visit.
The most common residential calls are rekeying after a move, lock changes when hardware is worn or a relationship changes, house lockouts, deadbolt installation on doors that only have a knob lock, and smart lock setup for families and rental owners. We also repair sticking and misaligned locks, replace mailbox locks, secure sliding patio doors and gates, and install and service home safes.
Older Alameda homes often have original mortise locks and doors that have settled over a century. We repair and rekey vintage hardware, fit modern high security cylinders behind the original trim, and adjust strikes so doors close and lock properly. For newer homes we install ANSI Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts, reinforced strike plates and keypad or app controlled locks from the major brands.
Landlords and property managers use us for turnover rekeys, master key systems for multi-unit buildings and standardized hardware across their properties. Every residential job is quoted up front, keys are keyed alike on request so one key opens every door, and we test each lock with you before we leave.
