Homes and buildings in East LA & Boyle Heights
Homes with front security doors, side gates and garages often have a mix of lock brands. We can standardize them so one key opens most entries.
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.
If you're calling for a lockout, tell us whether a child, pet or running vehicle is involved so we can prioritise where possible.
Landlords and managers can book ahead; we'll meet you or your agent at the property at the agreed time.
Security tips
- Save a vetted locksmith's number in your phone before you ever need it.
- Replace a cheap knob lock on an exterior door with a deadbolt; knob locks alone are easy to bypass.
- A sticking lock usually needs dry lubricant like graphite, not oil, which collects grit.
- Keep a spare car key at home; replacing a lost only-key costs more than making a duplicate.
