We Have the Key to Your Locksmith Needs - 24/7

For more than 20 years, Marc, Cole Hardware’s in-house locksmith, has offered a full range of home, auto and commercial locksmith services in San Francisco. His mobile locksmith service can usually arrive at your door within 30 minutes. He is fast, professional and courteous. He takes pride in his work and his customer service is exemplary.

- Have a Fireman’s Lock Box Installed
Marc also installs the Fireman’s Lockbox, which holds a set of house keys and is master-keyed to the fireman’s code. Each San Francisco firefighter carries a master key to these boxes and in case of emergency can gain access to your home in seconds—which can save lives and minimize property damage.

- Install a Push Button Lock Box
Marc installs push-button lock boxes, too, which are great for times when you have lost your keys, have a trades person such as a gardener, dog walker or house cleaner coming, or just want peace of mind knowing you have an extra set of keys in case of an emergency. To open the box, simply input the number code, which can be changed at any time. These lock boxes are incredibly helpful and we highly recommend them.

- Change Your Locks
Take a few minutes to recall where you got your house keys from, whom you might have lent them to since then and who may have gotten a copy of them without your knowledge. Many people in San Francisco live in shared housing. Locks and keys are rarely changed when a rental changes hands. That means old tenants and their friends, lovers, associates, etc. still have keys to your home.

- Prevent Further Duplications
Cole Hardware carries locks that operate with patented keys — keys that cannot be duplicated unless you bring in an authorization card and sign a form (your signature is matched and verified). The patent on these keys is aggressively protected by the manufacturers.

From simple re-keys and lock outs to high-security master key systems, Marc can do it all! To get in touch with Marc, contact our Home Repair Referral Service at 415/753-2653 ext. 3.
