Downtown buildings come with their own lock headaches: lobby doors, loft entries, freight elevators and storefronts that open at odd hours. Captain Locksmith Shop sends mobile technicians to Bunker Hill & Financial District (90071) for lockouts, rekeying and commercial hardware.
Locksmith services in Bunker Hill & Financial District
- 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.
- File cabinet and desk locks: opened, repaired or replaced, with new keys cut on site.
- Car keys: we cut regular and laser keys and program many transponder keys and remote fobs on site.
- Mailbox locks: lost mailbox key? We open and replace mailbox locks for houses and private apartment boxes.
- Master keys: landlords and businesses can have one key that opens every door while tenants or staff carry keys for their own.

Homes and buildings in Downtown LA
High-rise apartments and converted lofts often have heavy commercial doors with mortise locks. We rekey and repair these without replacing the whole lock body.
What happens when you call
For car work, the year, make and model let us check that we carry the right key blank or fob before we set off.
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.
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
- Don't leave the house key on the same ring as your car key when using valet parking.
- 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.
- 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.
Questions from customers in Bunker Hill & Financial District
Can renters call you?
Yes, for lockouts. Changing or rekeying a rental lock usually needs the landlord's consent.
Do you rekey for new homeowners?
Yes. It's one of our most common jobs and usually done in a single visit.
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.
Do you work with landlords?
Yes. We rekey between tenants, set up master key systems and change locks after a lawful eviction.
