Locksmith services in UCLA campus area
- High-security cylinders: restricted keys that can't be copied at a hardware store, for homes and offices.
- Deadbolts: we install single cylinder, double cylinder, keypad and high-security deadbolts, with reinforced strikes.
- Key cutting: spare house, mailbox and office keys cut from an existing key or, for many locks, from the lock itself.
- Lock changes: when a lock is worn, damaged or simply too basic, we replace it with hardware that fits the door and your budget.
- Ignition repair: a key that won't turn may mean a worn key or cylinder. We diagnose it before quoting repair or replacement.

Homes and buildings in the Westside
Houses here often get smart locks or high-security deadbolts as upgrades. We install them and key them alike with other doors.
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.
Our technicians carry identification and will tell you their name when they arrive.
Security tips
- Use screws at least three inches long in your deadbolt strike plate so they bite into the door frame, not just the trim.
- Replace a cheap knob lock on an exterior door with a deadbolt; knob locks alone are easy to bypass.
- Keypad locks let you share a code with a dog walker or cleaner and delete it later.
- Ask for an invoice after any lock work; it helps with insurance claims.
