More than the name suggests

One company. Four decades of knowing what works.

Don’s started with keys and locks. Today, the same practical knowledge supports homeowners, designers, architects, contractors, developers, and property teams across the Bay Area.

We help choose the right hardware, organize the details, get it ordered, install or service it, and stay available afterward.

Our story
Complete hardware guidance

From the first conversation to years of service.

Don’s is not simply a showroom, supplier, or locksmith. We bring design guidance, technical planning, purchasing, installation, security, and long-term service together under one experienced Bay Area team.

01

Understand the project.

We begin with the design, function, budget, schedule, and people involved. Bring plans, elevations, door information, tile, flooring, cabinet finishes, paint, existing hardware, or inspiration images.

Consultation · Plan review · Finish coordination · Site needs
02

Select and document the hardware.

We help choose the products and build the information needed to move forward: hardware schedules, opening groups, itemized quotations, specifications, cut sheets, templates, drawings, samples, and approvals.

Product selection · Schedules · Specifications · Samples · Approvals
03

Walk the site and verify.

We can visit the project, compare the plans with actual field conditions, confirm openings and existing hardware, and verify the order before installation.

On-site consultation · Field verification · Existing conditions · Order check
04

Order, inspect, and coordinate.

We confirm pricing and lead times, place the approved orders, track manufacturers, manage changes, inspect incoming hardware, and organize the package so the correct pieces reach the correct place.

Procurement · Lead times · Inspection · Delivery
05

Install, secure, and support.

Our involvement can continue through installation, keying, master-key systems, access and security work, field questions, punch, closeout, repairs, replacements, refinishing, and ongoing service after occupancy.

Installation · Locksmith · Security · Refinishing · Ongoing support
Three connected divisions

Design knowledge. Construction experience. Service that lasts.

Choose the right starting point. The same Don’s team can connect the details across the full life of the hardware.

Hardware refinishing is also available. When an original or valuable piece is worth saving, we can evaluate repair and refinishing options. Learn about refinishing →
