What the locksmith handles
Father & Son Locksmith is a Brea locksmith service for homes, shops, offices and vehicles. One phone call connects you with a locksmith who handles lockouts, rekeying, lock changes, car keys and the small hardware fixes that keep a door honest.
Brea is compact, but its housing is not uniform. Ranch homes from the 1950s and 60s sit a short drive from gated tracts built in the last twenty years, and the hardware differs just as much. Tell the dispatcher what you have, a worn knob lock on a side door, a smart deadbolt on a new build, a fob for a late-model SUV, and the quote reflects that.
Hours are listed as Monday through Sunday, All day. Availability still varies with traffic and workload, so call to check when a locksmith can reach you.

From your call to a working lock
Call and describe it
Say what is locked, what kind of lock it is if you know, and where you are. A photo by text helps with unusual hardware.
Hear a rough estimate
The dispatcher gives an approximate cost based on your description, plus the service call fee shown on the price list.
Confirm on site
The locksmith inspects the lock, confirms the price and explains the options, such as rekeying instead of replacing.
Work, test, invoice
The job is done, every key is tested in the lock, and you receive an invoice from the contractor who did the work.

Plain dealing, start to finish
A price before the tools come out

Brea runs along the 57 and Imperial Highway, with Carbon Canyon Road out east. Dispatchers know which side of town you are on before they ask twice.

Questions worth asking any locksmith
- Ask for the locksmith's California BSIS licence number before work starts.
- Ask what warranty applies to the labour and to any parts installed.
- Ask for the total estimate, including the service call fee, before you agree.
- Ask whether the lock can be rekeyed rather than replaced, which usually costs less.
- Ask how the locksmith will confirm you live at the address or own the car.
- Ask for an itemised invoice that names the business that did the work.
- Ask how payment works; cards are accepted, but confirm when you call.

Questions callers ask
Which parts of Brea do you cover?
Calls come from all over Brea, including the 92821 and 92823 areas and businesses using 92822 P.O. boxes. Call with your address to check current availability.
Can you rekey my locks instead of replacing them?
Usually, yes. Rekeying changes the pins inside the existing cylinder so old keys stop working. It is a good fit after a move or a lost key, as long as the hardware is in decent shape.
Do I need to prove I live there?
Yes. Expect to show ID with the address, a lease, or a utility bill once the door is open. For vehicles, the registration or title is checked.
How is the price worked out?
There is a service call fee plus labour, and parts if you buy new hardware. The dispatcher's figure is an estimate; the locksmith confirms the price after seeing the lock.
Is the business name a legal company name?
No. As the Terms and Conditions explain, the name is used for advertising and calls are referred to independent locksmith contractors, who invoice you directly.
