Homes and buildings across Los Angeles
Wherever you are in Los Angeles, the most common calls we get are lockouts, rekeys after a move and car key replacements.
What happens when you call
Our technician confirms the price on site before starting. If something unexpected turns up once the lock is opened, we explain it and ask before continuing.
If you're calling for a lockout, tell us whether a child, pet or running vehicle is involved so we can prioritise where possible.
We test every lock and key with you before we leave and explain any options for improving security.
Security tips
- A door closer on a shared building entry stops it being left ajar.
- Replace a cheap knob lock on an exterior door with a deadbolt; knob locks alone are easy to bypass.
- Write down your car's key code or VIN and keep it somewhere safe; it makes a replacement key easier.
- Keep spare keys labelled with a code, not your address.
Questions from customers in ZIP 90081
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 install smart locks?
Yes. We install and set up many keypad and app-controlled locks.
Can you change mailbox locks?
Yes, for private mailboxes. USPS-owned cluster boxes are handled by the post office.
Do you sell high-security locks?
Yes. We install high-security cylinders with restricted keys that can't be copied at a hardware store.
What if I'm not sure what lock I have?
Send a photo or describe it on the phone and we'll help identify it.
