Locksmith services in Florence-Firestone
- Car keys: we cut regular and laser keys and program many transponder keys and remote fobs on site.
- Safes and file cabinets: we open, repair and change the locks on many safes and cabinets, with proof of ownership.
- File cabinet and desk locks: opened, repaired or replaced, with new keys cut on site.
- Lock repair: loose handles, sticking cylinders and latches that don't catch can often be repaired rather than replaced.
- Rekeying: if keys have been lost or you've just moved in, we change the pins so old keys stop working, keeping your existing hardware.

Homes and buildings in South Los Angeles
Security doors and gates are common in front of homes here, so a lockout may involve two locks rather than one. We can open and rekey both.
What happens when you call
Landlords and managers can book ahead; we'll meet you or your agent at the property at the agreed time.
Most jobs are finished in a single visit because our vans carry key blanks, cutting machines, programming tools and common locks.
When you call, tell us your address, what's locked or broken and, for cars, the make, model and year. We'll quote a price range and give an honest arrival estimate.
Security tips
- Keypad locks let you share a code with a dog walker or cleaner and delete it later.
- Rekey whenever a key goes missing, not just when you move.
- Keep spare keys labelled with a code, not your address.
- Save a vetted locksmith's number in your phone before you ever need it.
Questions from customers in Florence-Firestone
Do you sell high-security locks?
Yes. We install high-security cylinders with restricted keys that can't be copied at a hardware store.
What if I'm not sure what lock I have?
Send a photo or describe it on the phone and we'll help identify it.
Can you make a copy of a 'do not duplicate' key?
Only for the authorised owner or manager, and some restricted keys can only be ordered from the manufacturer.
Can you rekey instead of replacing?
Usually, if the lock is in good condition. Rekeying makes old keys useless and costs less than new hardware.
Can you secure a door after a break-in?
Yes, by repairing or replacing the lock and strike or securing the door temporarily.
