Locksmith services in South Los Angeles
- Deadbolts: we install single cylinder, double cylinder, keypad and high-security deadbolts, with reinforced strikes.
- 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.
- Keyed-alike locks: we can rekey your front, back and garage doors so a single key opens them all.
- File cabinet and desk locks: opened, repaired or replaced, with new keys cut on site.
- High-security cylinders: restricted keys that can't be copied at a hardware store, for homes and offices.

Homes and buildings in South Los Angeles
Many duplexes and fourplexes share locks across units. Landlords often ask us to rekey between tenants or set up keyed-alike systems.
What happens when you call
Our technicians carry identification and will tell you their name when they arrive.
Landlords and managers can book ahead; we'll meet you or your agent at the property at the agreed time.
If a lock has to be drilled, we explain why and give you the replacement cost before going ahead.
Security tips
- Change smart lock batteries on a schedule rather than waiting for the low-battery warning.
- Photograph the key code stamped on new locks and store it somewhere safe.
- Rekey whenever a key goes missing, not just when you move.
- Don't hide a spare under the mat or in a planter; leave it with a trusted neighbor instead.

Yes. It's one of our most common jobs and usually done in a single visit.
Can you open a safe?
Many safes, yes. We'll need proof the safe belongs to you.
