Our History
Foothill Locksmiths Inc. was founded in Hayward way back in 1956. Shirley "Sy" Lucas moved to California from the midwest in search of a new lifestyle. He was intrigued by locksmithing and was eager to learn the trade, though he would soon learn it was difficult to find someone available as a mentor. Sy opened our first location on Foothill Boulevard & began offering locals an array of services, while in the process of teaching himself how to be a locksmith.
