Landlords and property managers often need locks changed the moment a unit is returned. Captain Locksmith Shop schedules lock changes and rekeying to meet that timing, for residential units and commercial spaces across Los Angeles.
How it works
Schedule ahead
Call with the address, number of doors and the date and time possession is expected.
Meet at the property
We arrive at the agreed time. Where the sheriff is executing a lockout, we work after possession is handed back.
Rekey or replace
We rekey or replace each lock, cut the keys you need and test every door.
We change locks; we don't give legal advice
In California, removing a tenant generally requires a court process, and lockouts are carried out by law enforcement. Changing locks to remove someone without that process can be illegal. Please confirm your legal position with an attorney before booking. We only change locks for the owner or authorized agent of the property.

Frequently asked questions
Can you change the locks the same day?
Often, depending on availability. Booking ahead is the surest way to have a technician there at the right time.
What do you need from me?
Proof that you own or manage the property and, for evictions, the documents showing possession has been returned to you.
