Locksmith in Montara

Locksmith service in Montara

Montara is a few hundred houses on the hillside between the ocean and the mountain, north of Half Moon Bay on Highway 1. It is small, it is often in fog, and street numbers are hard to pick out at night, so we take a description of the house along with the address.

Every technician on the Dawn & The Lock team works directly for us, carries ID, and arrives in a stocked van. We're licensed by the State of California (LCO #6970), bonded and insured.

What we see most in Montara

Most Montara calls are somebody standing at their own front door in the cold. Older cottages, doors that have swollen with the damp, locks that have taken years of salt air and finally stuck. We open them, and then we are honest about what we find, because out here a lock that is already failing will do it again on the worst night of the year.

After lockouts, it is lock changes and rekeys. People buy a place out here, or finish a rental season, and want everything on one key. Because of the weather we fit hardware that can take the conditions rather than the cheapest thing that fits the hole.

We also cover Moss Beach and the Point Montara side, and the storage and outbuilding locks that go with properties on this stretch.

Montara locksmith questions

Do you really come out to Montara?

Yes. It is a longer drive than our Peninsula cities and we tell you exactly how long on the call, before you commit to waiting. We would rather you knew than be left guessing.

My door swells and sticks in the damp. Is that the lock?

Often it is the door and the frame rather than the lock, and that changes what needs doing. We work out which one it is before quoting you for hardware you may not need.

Can you rekey a holiday rental between guests?

Yes. We can rekey between lets, or fit a keypad so you change a code instead of chasing keys up and down the coast.

Do I pay a service-call fee if I cancel?

Any service-call fee is told to you on the phone before we drive out, and the exact price is confirmed on site before any work starts. There are no surprises at the door.
