Let’s be real—deadbolts aren’t exactly the sexiest topic. But if you’ve ever stared at your front door at 2 a.m. wondering if that jiggly lock could be popped with a butter knife, you know security is no joke. Here in Oakland, where neighborhoods range from historic Victorians to modern lofts, picking the right deadbolt isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about peace of mind. And hey, we’re Lockology Locksmith—your friendly Oakland locksmith crew—so we’ve seen it all: from “oops, I lost my keys again” panics to “upgrade my entire security system, stat” requests. Let’s break this down together.

These guys are great! Fast, fair and friendly. This is the second time I've had to use a mobile locksmith for my 2008 Honda Pilot and both times I was very satisfied with their services.

The ignition cylinder and door lock were destroyed when someone tried to steal the car. I called Lockology, and received great customer service.First they had to find the parts, it's an older car, then they gave me options on replacement costs and times. Service was prompt, cordial and reasonable. Hopefully I won't have to use them again, but if I do, they definitely get return business.
Follow up: Door handle and lock also needed replacement. They ordered the parts, and Edgar came out a second time to install them. Edgar was prompt, polite, communicative and provided friendly, professional customer service. Highly recommend this business.

Oh yes, I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Alixx and Edgar. They are both extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I also want to thank them for coming out at a drop of a hat! Much appreciated!

Lockology is fantastic. Nadav and crew not only worked fast to hunt down a discontinued auto key fob for me but did this all over a busy holiday timeline with a positive attitude and clear communication. Thanks!
