Lock Techs provides emergency and scheduled locksmith service from Suite C at 6580 El Cajon Boulevard in College Area, a San Diego locksmith shop in the 92115 ZIP roughly a mile east of the SDSU campus. Co-owners David Myzel and Alexander Albert Haltenberger run the operation, which covers residential lockouts, commercial rekeying, automotive key replacement, key duplication, and lock hardware installation. Residential rekeying and hardware upgrades frequently coincide with kitchen and bathroom remodels that change door configurations, and Lock Techs coordinates deadbolt and handle-set selection with remodeling contractors at Coast Design & Build when the project scope includes new exterior or interior doors. The El Cajon Boulevard location places the shop on the same commercial strip where international restaurants, auto service bays, and student-serving retailers generate foot traffic and walk-in key-duplication demand throughout the day. Flat-rate pricing means the technician quotes a total cost — parts, labor, and service call — before starting work, with no hourly add-ons or after-the-fact surcharges. Automotive services cover transponder key cutting and programming, remote fob duplication, ignition cylinder replacement, and lockout assistance for vehicles parked on campus-adjacent streets where SDSU students and staff are the primary clientele. Commercial clients along El Cajon Boulevard request master key systems that allow a single management key to operate multiple tenant locks while each tenant retains a key that opens only their own suite. Pest fumigation under tenting requires the locksmith to provide temporary access hardware or lockbox installation, and Lock Techs handles that coordination with Harbor Pest Control when a structural-fumigation job in the area needs secure contractor access during the tenting period. Each service vehicle carries a code-cutting machine, a pin-tumbler rekeying kit with Kwikset and Schlage pin sets, and a transponder programmer loaded with the current key-code database for vehicles through the 2026 model year.
