Locksmith services in Mid-City
- High-security cylinders: restricted keys that can't be copied at a hardware store, for homes and offices.
- Trunk unlocking: if the trunk is locked with the keys inside, we open it without forcing the lid.
- Safes and file cabinets: we open, repair and change the locks on many safes and cabinets, with proof of ownership.
- Broken keys: a snapped key can be extracted from a door lock or ignition and a new key cut to replace it.
- Car lockouts: our automotive entry tools open car doors and trunks without harming paint or weather seals.

Homes and buildings in Koreatown, Mid-City & Mid-Wilshire
Older apartment doors sometimes have worn cylinders that make keys stick. A new cylinder or rekey fixes most of them.
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.
If a lock has to be drilled, we explain why and give you the replacement cost before going ahead.
Our technicians carry identification and will tell you their name when they arrive.
Security tips
- Keep a spare car key at home; replacing a lost only-key costs more than making a duplicate.
- Peepholes and door viewers let you check visitors without opening the door.
- If a key is starting to bend or crack, have a new one cut from the code or an unworn key before it snaps in the lock.
- Landlords should rekey between every tenancy and keep a record of who holds keys.
