Locksmith services in Hollywood
- Lock repair: loose handles, sticking cylinders and latches that don't catch can often be repaired rather than replaced.
- Commercial hardware: panic bars, storefront locks and door closers installed and repaired with code requirements in mind.
- Home lockouts: we open house and apartment doors without damage wherever possible, then check that the lock still works properly.
- Car keys: we cut regular and laser keys and program many transponder keys and remote fobs on site.
- Smart locks: we install and set up keypad and app-controlled locks, keeping a key override where the model allows.

Homes and buildings in Hollywood & the Hills
Apartment buildings and short-term rentals benefit from keypad locks that let owners change codes between guests.
What happens when you call
If the job needs a part we don't carry, we'll tell you upfront and schedule a return visit rather than leave you with a half-finished door.
Most jobs are finished in a single visit because our vans carry key blanks, cutting machines, programming tools and common locks.
For car work, the year, make and model let us check that we carry the right key blank or fob before we set off.
Security tips
- 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.
- Keypad locks let you share a code with a dog walker or cleaner and delete it later.
- 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.
Questions from customers in Hollywood
Do you install panic bars?
Yes. We install and repair exit devices for businesses with code requirements in mind.
Do you install mailbox locks?
Yes, on private mailboxes, and we can cut extra keys.
Do you replace car ignitions?
We repair and replace many ignition switches and cylinders.
Can you open a locked bedroom or bathroom door?
Yes. Interior privacy locks are usually quick to open without damage.
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.
