Emergency detailsWhat we see in Hillcrest
Hillcrest is one of San Diego's most walkable neighborhoods, which means a lot of people living close together in apartments and condos, many in buildings from the 1920s through the 1970s with hardware that's been rekeyed a dozen times. Lockouts, roommate rekeys, mailbox locks and sliding door locks are the daily calls. Property managers call us for turnover rekeys and building entry hardware, and homeowners on the quieter streets toward Mission Hills call for deadbolts and smart locks.
University Avenue and Fifth Avenue are lined with restaurants, bars, salons, boutiques and the Sunday Hillcrest Farmers Market, and the medical district around Scripps Mercy Hospital and UC San Diego Medical Center is packed with physician, dental and therapy offices. Medical offices have their own needs: locking file cabinets and medication drawers, lever handles that meet accessibility rules, restricted keys so patient records stay controlled. We handle all of it, scheduled around patient hours.
With Balboa Park next door, car lockouts happen in the park's lots and along Sixth Avenue all day long, and after dark along the University Avenue strip.

Do you handle locks for medical and dental offices in Hillcrest?
Yes. Cabinet and drawer locks, restricted-key systems for records rooms, lever conversions and rekeys after staff changes, scheduled around patient hours.
My apartment building's front entry door doesn't latch. Who fixes that?
We do, and it's usually a closer or strike alignment problem rather than the lock. Have your property manager call us; we service building entry hardware across Hillcrest.
How fast can you get to a lockout in Hillcrest?
We're based in Ocean Beach and Hillcrest is a short run up I-8 and the 163. We'll give you a realistic window when you call.
