Locksmith replacing an original knob lock on a mid-century ranch home in Clairemont, San Diego
Original 1960s knob locks are common in Clairemont. A deadbolt and a rekey make the house actually secure.

What we see in Clairemont

Clairemont is a postwar neighborhood of single-story ranch homes on the mesas above Mission Bay, from Bay Park and Bay Ho on the west to Clairemont Mesa and the streets named after mountains on the east. Many of those houses have never had a deadbolt, still rely on the original keyed knob, and have a sliding glass patio door with a latch that stopped working years ago. The standard Clairemont visit is a rekey of every exterior door to one key, a Grade 1 deadbolt on the front and garage side doors, and a proper lock on the slider. It's an afternoon's work and it changes how secure the house actually is.

Families here also call about garage service doors, side gates and mailbox locks, and about keypad locks so the kids can get in after school without a key. Landlords along Clairemont Drive and Balboa Avenue call for turnover rekeys on the apartment buildings that line the main roads.

Commercial work in Clairemont centers on the shopping centers along Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, Balboa Avenue and Genesee Avenue, including Clairemont Town Square, plus the auto shops and small offices along Morena Boulevard in Bay Park and the businesses around San Diego Mesa College. Car lockouts happen at those centers, at Tecolote Canyon and on the residential streets.

Clairemont locksmith questions

My Clairemont house only has a knob lock on the front door. Is that enough?

No. A keyed knob is easy to defeat. Add a Grade 1 deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate. We install it in under an hour and can key it to your existing key.

Can you fix the lock on my sliding glass door?

Yes. We repair or replace the latch and can add a secondary lock or security bar so the slider can't be lifted off its track.

Do you key all my doors to one key?

Yes. Keying alike is the most common residential job we do in Clairemont, and most houses can be done in one visit.
