Business Description
Specialties: Servicing the bay area for over 80 years. Service sales and repairs in our shop or in the field. Locks and keys from antique to electronic, safes and more. Established in 1927. San Mateo Lock Works' long tradition of craftsmanship began with Fred Strebel Sr, a machinist and tool and die maker from Switzerland. Strebel Sr. established the business in 1946 on Baldwin Avenue at the site of a former lock shop operated by Van Velan since 1927. Fred Strebel Jr. took over in 1956, laying the foundation for the business to evolve from a small shop to the multi faceted lock, safe, and security company it is today. In 1978 Fred Strebel Jr, along with his two "key" employees, Gary and Steve DeSantis, moved the business to it's present location at 321 Second Avenue in Downtown San Mateo. At that time San Mateo Safe Center was inaugurated and became an integral part of the business. San Mateo Lock Works now has five service vehicles, including a safe delivery truck, serving the Peninsula and San Francisco Bay Area.
