Locksmith services in West Los Angeles & Sawtelle

Home lockouts: we open house and apartment doors without damage wherever possible, then check that the lock still works properly.
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.
Smart locks: we install and set up keypad and app-controlled locks, keeping a key override where the model allows.

Homes and buildings in the Westside

Condo and apartment buildings have shared entries, garage gates and mailbox locks. We work with HOAs and managers on rekeys and replacements.

What happens when you call

Most jobs are finished in a single visit because our vans carry key blanks, cutting machines, programming tools and common locks.

We test every lock and key with you before we leave and explain any options for improving security.

For lockouts we check ID or proof of residence. If your ID is inside, we can usually confirm it once the door is open.

Security tips

A door closer on a shared building entry stops it being left ajar.
Keypad locks let you share a code with a dog walker or cleaner and delete it later.
Check sliding door locks; a bar or pin in the track adds a cheap second layer.
Ask for an invoice after any lock work; it helps with insurance claims.

Questions from customers in West Los Angeles & Sawtelle

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.

Do you sell high-security locks?

Yes. We install high-security cylinders with restricted keys that can't be copied at a hardware store.

Can you fix a door that won't latch?

Usually. The latch, strike or hinges may need adjusting, which is quicker than a new lock.

Can you match my existing door hardware?

Often. We stock common finishes and can order specific hardware if needed.

Can you remove a broken key?

Yes, from door locks and ignitions, and we can cut a replacement.
