Why local Lexington Hills experience matters
Working as a locksmith in Lexington Hills for 15+ years has taught us a few things about this part of Silicon Valley.
Around Lexington Reservoir and CA-17 corridor, we're often there for routine maintenance: smart-lock battery replacement, sticky deadbolts, and lost mailbox keys.
Quick access to CA-17 means our nearest van can usually clear the freeway and reach you fast — even at peak traffic times.
We dispatch across every Lexington Hills ZIP — 95030, 95033 — and our techs know the residential street grid as well as the commercial corridors.
Cross-border jobs into Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Santa Cruz Mountains are routine, so the same fast response applies if your address technically straddles a city line.
Newer construction in Lexington Hills typically uses Grade 2 builder-grade hardware that we frequently upgrade to Grade 1 on request.
Why Lexington Hills customers choose One & Only Locksmith
Live human dispatcher, 24/7. Call (888) 492-0666 and a real person picks up. No phone trees, no offshore call centers, no callback queues. The dispatcher knows Lexington Hills traffic, knows our nearest van, and gives you a real ETA.
Transparent pricing. You get a quote on the phone and a written quote on site before any work starts. We do not have a "minimum service charge" hidden in fine print, and we do not run the bait-and-switch game some pop-up locksmiths play.
Real reviews, real reputation. Over 1,286 verified reviews and a 4.9-star average. We've built our business one neighbor at a time and we don't gamble that on a single bad job.
Local knowledge of Lexington Hills. Older homes have older mortise locks. Newer high-rises have proprietary cylinders. Cluster mailboxes have specific USPS standards. We know what's typical for the Silicon Valley and bring the right hardware on the first trip.
Bonded and insured. Bonded & Insured. We can provide our certificate of insurance, W-9, and license info on request — useful for HOAs, property managers, insurance claims, and commercial procurement.
Mobile, fully-stocked vans. We don't hand you a quote and then "go get the parts." Our trucks carry deadbolts, strikes, smart locks, panic bars, transponder blanks, programmers, extractors, and more — first-visit completion on the vast majority of jobs.
What to expect when you call us in Lexington Hills
Transparency is the whole point — here's what your call to One & Only Locksmith looks like end to end.
1. You call (888) 492-0666. A live dispatcher picks up. They confirm the address, the issue, and any specifics ("front door deadbolt, Schlage, brushed nickel"). You'll get a clear ETA and a price range.
2. The nearest van rolls. We dispatch the closest fully-stocked technician to your Lexington Hills location. You'll get a text or call when they're a few minutes out.
3. ID and authority verified. For lockouts and rekeys, we verify ownership or authority before opening anything. This protects you and us.
4. On-site assessment. Your tech inspects the lock, door, frame, hardware, and any related issues. We'll explain what we recommend and why.
5. Written, signed quote. Before any work begins, you get a clear written quote. If you don't want to proceed, you don't owe a dime.
6. Clean work. Hardware is installed straight, square, and to manufacturer spec. Strikes are reinforced into the king stud where appropriate. Old hardware is removed and disposed of.
7. Test and tour. We test the lock or system top to bottom, walk you through any new keys/codes/fobs, and answer questions.
8. Receipt and warranty. Itemized receipt by email, plus our workmanship warranty on every install.
9. Magnetic Lock & Electric Strike Installation-specific testing. Train staff on the new entry workflow.
Honest pricing for Lexington Hills customers
We don't dodge pricing questions — here's how we think about it.
Standard magnetic lock & electric strike installation calls in Lexington Hills are quoted by our dispatcher when you call. The number depends on a few real variables: the lock or system involved, time of day, distance from the nearest van, and any parts required. Once our technician is on site and has eyes on the job, you get a written quote — and you don't pay anything until you sign off.
What we won't do: quote a $19 "service call" on the phone, show up with a $400 number, and pressure you. That's the playbook of pop-up "lowest price" listings, not a real local locksmith.
Payment: Cash, Credit Card, Debit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. We email an itemized receipt the same day, useful for insurance claims, expense reports, or property management records.
Common scenarios in Lexington Hills

2. Tenant suite needs front-door release from the receptionist.
3. Apartment or office building entry needs intercom-controlled access.
4. Adding a maglock to a glass entry door.
