Seeking Oakland maintenance referrals

[Carrie K.]

Are any Bay Area / Alameda property owners able to recommend a good maintenance person? The property is in Oakland. We own one property and just need a door lock installed so we won't use up all of your favorite person's time. Many thanks!

If you just need a lock installed, might as well ask a locksmith from yelp or thumbtack. It will be more pricey than a handyman but there wont be any issues with the handy man not having the parts or knowing the complexity. If this is just a basic schlage lock, you can probably do it with youtube :).
