Captain Locksmith Shop serves Playa Vista (90094) for home and condo lockouts, high-security and smart locks, office hardware and car keys.
Locksmith services in Playa Vista
- Car lockouts: our automotive entry tools open car doors and trunks without harming paint or weather seals.
- Commercial hardware: panic bars, storefront locks and door closers installed and repaired with code requirements in mind.
- Master keys: landlords and businesses can have one key that opens every door while tenants or staff carry keys for their own.
- Lock repair: loose handles, sticking cylinders and latches that don't catch can often be repaired rather than replaced.
- Eviction lock changes: landlords can book a rekey or lock change for the moment possession is returned.

Homes and buildings in the Westside
Condo and apartment buildings have shared entries, garage gates and mailbox locks. We work with HOAs and managers on rekeys and replacements.
What happens when you call
Arrival times depend on traffic and how many calls are ahead of yours. We'll call you if our estimate changes.
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 you're calling for a lockout, tell us whether a child, pet or running vehicle is involved so we can prioritise where possible.
Security tips
- Don't leave the house key on the same ring as your car key when using valet parking.
- Ask for an invoice after any lock work; it helps with insurance claims.
- Check sliding door locks; a bar or pin in the track adds a cheap second layer.
- After a break-in, check the strike plate and frame, not just the lock; that's usually where doors fail.
Questions from customers in Playa Vista
Can you match my existing door hardware?
Often. We stock common finishes and can order specific hardware if needed.
Can you make a copy of a 'do not duplicate' key?
Only for the authorised owner or manager, and some restricted keys can only be ordered from the manufacturer.
Do you need my ID?
Yes, for lockouts and key work we confirm that you live there or own the vehicle.
Do you work with landlords?
Yes. We rekey between tenants, set up master key systems and change locks after a lawful eviction.
Can you secure a door after a break-in?
Yes, by repairing or replacing the lock and strike or securing the door temporarily.
