Hi! We're Bill & Kim Stagg, the proprietors of San Diego Lock & Safe™, a local San Diego Locksmith, licensed, bonded, and insured for your security. We're both native San Diegans, tho' Bill cheated a bit, having become a native within a month or so after birth, but we cut him some slack on that. ;)

In this day and age of literally thousands of scammer locksmiths drowning the search engines and phone books, pretending to be local while dispatching from New York or Florida, unlicensed (and often threatening) rip off artists, and general mayhem in the industry, we thought we'd offer a few of our own bona fides:

We both attended Sequoia Elementary, where Bill first asked Kim to "go steady" in 5th grade. Bill attended Hale Junior High, while Kim attended Einstein Junior High, and we both attended Madison Senior High School, Class of 1980. We currently live in the East County, though we grew up in and around Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, where Bill lived for a time as a child, and where Kim's Grandparents lived most of their lives -- A few San Diego moments: Class field trips to Belmont Park, 6th grade camp at Palomar or Cuyamaca, Drive-In movies at the TU-VU, saw a concert or 30 at the San Diego Sports Arena, watched the Chargers play in Jack Murphy Stadium ("The Murph"), and we STILL call the San Diego County Fair the "Del Mar Fair!"

You may wonder what this all bears on. As locksmiths, and as a company, we believe above all things in "Courtesy, Integrity, Timeliness, Ethics™." Every decision we make, every explanation we give a customer, every job we do, is governed by this creed. We truly believe that it is of utter importance to be as transparent as possible in all that we do, to counter what is mentioned in the first paragraph.

The old locksmith credo of "Security through Obscurity" is not only a bad way to do business, but it reflects poorly on the locksmith practicing it. Customers who ask questions on the "how's" and "why's" deserve honest, ethical, answers, in a format they can understand. Most importantly, if they expect a local, licensed (per the law), insured, bonded, locksmith company, they should get one.

Courtesy, Integrity, Timeliness, Ethics™
