Every job is done cleanly and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Residential locksmith service from Chida Locksmith covers everything that keeps a San Rafael home secure: rekeying, lock replacement and installation, deadbolts, smart locks, broken-key extraction, and complete home security assessments.

Why San Rafael Chooses Chida Locksmith
What sets Chida Locksmith apart in San Rafael is a rare combination: the response time of an emergency service and the skill of a career locksmith. Every technician is licensed, background-checked, and insured, and every van is a rolling workshop stocked with the hardware and programming gear that most jobs require. That means fewer return trips, faster resolutions, and a fair price you hear before we touch a lock.
Reliability is everything in this trade, and Chida Locksmith has built its San Rafael 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.
