Reliability is everything in this trade, and Chida Locksmith has built its Millbrae reputation on it. We give honest assessments — if a lock can be repaired or rekeyed instead of replaced, we tell you. We stand behind our parts and labor with a workmanship guarantee. And we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because lockouts and break-ins do not keep business hours.
