"Our Warm Springs office needed access control for 45 employees across three floors. The locksmith did the full site survey, explained every cost upfront, and completed install over two days. $1,800 total - in line with what this guide said for a mid-sized commercial job."
"Locked out of my car at the Fremont BART station. I was skeptical of the first company I called - price quote was $29 which this guide says is a red flag. Called a BSIS-verified one instead, $95, opened it without damage in under 5 minutes. Worth every dollar."
"Rekeyed 4 cylinders in our new Irvington home. $145 total, done in under an hour. Tech was professional, verified his BSIS license when asked, and left us with new keys within 45 minutes of arriving. Exactly what the guide described."
