Busy Bees Locks & Keys holds California locksmith license LCO #6440 and contractor license C28 #974438, operating a San Diego storefront at 6160 Fairmount Avenue in Grantville within the 92120 ZIP. Jerry and Jennifer Schaffer founded the company in 2005, building it from a single van into a six-location operation with more than 30 mobile units and a staff of over 50 technicians and support personnel. The Fairmount Avenue shop sits at the intersection of the Grantville commercial corridor and the I-8 on-ramp zone, within a five-minute drive of SDSU and the surrounding College Area rental housing stock that generates steady demand for rekeying between tenants. Garage door entry hardware, including deadbolt-to-keypad conversions and electronic strike plates, is a frequent scope item on properties where contractors at ProperShop Garage Door Services handle the mechanical door installation and Busy Bees handles the locking hardware. Residential services cover house lockouts, lock rekeying, high-security deadbolt installation, mailbox lock replacement, smart lock programming, and key duplication on standard, restricted, and do-not-duplicate blanks. The automotive division cuts and programs transponder keys, proximity fobs, laser-cut sidewinder keys, and motorcycle key blanks on site from a mobile workshop equipped with code-cutting machines covering domestic, European, and Asian platforms. Commercial work includes master key system design, panic bar installation, door closer adjustment, ADA-compliant hardware upgrades, and electronic access control systems with card readers and audit-trail software. GSA-certified safe technicians on staff handle mechanical and electronic safe opening, combination changes, lock-body replacement, and relocker repair for residential gun safes through commercial vault doors. The company holds memberships in ALOA, SAVTA, and NASTF, and remodeling contractors coordinating finish hardware during door and window replacement projects — including Newman Windows and Doors — route lockset specifications through the Busy Bees commercial division for compatibility verification. The women-owned designation reflects Jennifer Schaffer's role as co-founder and principal, and the bilingual staff handles service calls in English and Spanish.
