Locksmith services in Ladera Heights
- Deadbolts: we install single cylinder, double cylinder, keypad and high-security deadbolts, with reinforced strikes.
- Key cutting: spare house, mailbox and office keys cut from an existing key or, for many locks, from the lock itself.
- Eviction lock changes: landlords can book a rekey or lock change for the moment possession is returned.
- Broken keys: a snapped key can be extracted from a door lock or ignition and a new key cut to replace it.
- Trunk unlocking: if the trunk is locked with the keys inside, we open it without forcing the lid.

Homes and buildings in Crenshaw, West Adams & Baldwin Hills
Older homes may have original mortise locks or doors that have shifted over the years. Adjusting the strike and door often fixes a deadbolt that won't throw.
What happens when you call
For lockouts we check ID or proof of residence. If your ID is inside, we can usually confirm it once the door is open.
We test every lock and key with you before we leave and explain any options for improving security.
You'll get an invoice listing the work and parts, which is useful for insurance claims and records.
Security tips
- Businesses should collect keys when staff leave, or switch to codes that can be deleted.
- Keep a spare car key at home; replacing a lost only-key costs more than making a duplicate.
- Change smart lock batteries on a schedule rather than waiting for the low-battery warning.
- 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.
Questions from customers in Ladera Heights
Can renters call you?
Yes, for lockouts. Changing or rekeying a rental lock usually needs the landlord's consent.
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.
Do you need my ID?
Yes, for lockouts and key work we confirm that you live there or own the vehicle.
Do you work with landlords?
Yes. We rekey between tenants, set up master key systems and change locks after a lawful eviction.
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.
