Locksmith services in Lincoln Heights

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.
Lock repair: loose handles, sticking cylinders and latches that don't catch can often be repaired rather than replaced.
Eviction lock changes: landlords can book a rekey or lock change for the moment possession is returned.
Safes and file cabinets: we open, repair and change the locks on many safes and cabinets, with proof of ownership.
Lock changes: when a lock is worn, damaged or simply too basic, we replace it with hardware that fits the door and your budget.

Not sure which you need? See our residential, automotive and commercial pages, or just call and describe the problem.

Craftsman and Spanish-style homes often have older door hardware. We match or upgrade it while keeping the door's character.

You'll get an invoice listing the work and parts, which is useful for insurance claims and records.

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

Payment is taken once the work is done and you're happy with it. Ask which methods we accept when you call.

Keep garage-to-house doors locked; they're often overlooked.
After a break-in, check the strike plate and frame, not just the lock; that's usually where doors fail.
A sticking lock usually needs dry lubricant like graphite, not oil, which collects grit.
Ask for an invoice after any lock work; it helps with insurance claims.

Do you open locks without damage?

Wherever possible, yes. Drilling is a last resort and we'll explain and quote first.

Do you install smart locks?

Yes. We install and set up many keypad and app-controlled locks.

Can you secure a door after a break-in?

Yes, by repairing or replacing the lock and strike or securing the door temporarily.

Can you key a business to a master system?

Yes. We plan who needs access to which doors and rekey your locks to match.
