More of our work happens in 94110 than anywhere else in the city, and most of it is somebody standing outside their own front door. That is not a marketing line. It is the reason the van is usually five minutes away rather than forty.
What the buildings here are like
The Mission is mostly flats carved out of Victorians and Edwardians, which means two doors before you ever reach your own. A street gate, then a stair, then your flat. Half those street gates have hardware from the eighties that nobody has serviced since, and the other half have a deadbolt somebody added without lining up the strike, so the door never really latches and one day it will not open either.
Newer buildings along the corridor have buzzer entry and fobs, which fail differently. Those are an access control problem, not a lock problem, and they need somebody who knows the difference before they start taking a door apart.
What we get called for here
- Flat lockouts, by a wide margin the most common call in this zip code
- Lock changes after a move, which in a neighborhood that turns over this fast is a steady part of every week
- Street gate locks that stopped turning, which is the classic Mission call
- Car keys and car lockouts on 24th, Valencia, Guerrero and South Van Ness
- Storefront hardware along Mission Street itself
Spanish
Gadi speaks Spanish. Not phrasebook Spanish, actual Spanish, which in this neighborhood is not a feature, it is the minimum. The phone is answered in Spanish too, at any hour. Esta página también está en español.
About that address
2431 Mission is our licensed business address and it is where the paperwork lives. It is not a walk in shop and there is no counter behind that gate, so please do not make the trip expecting one. Everything we do, we do at your door, your curb or your storefront. If you want a key copied, we come to you and cut it in the van.
