Homes and buildings across Los Angeles
Apartment buildings throughout LA need mailbox locks, unit lock changes and master key systems; we handle all three.
What happens when you call
We test every lock and key with you before we leave and explain any options for improving security.
For lockouts we check ID or proof of residence. If your ID is inside, we can usually confirm it once the door is open.
Most jobs are finished in a single visit because our vans carry key blanks, cutting machines, programming tools and common locks.
Security tips
- Photograph the key code stamped on new locks and store it somewhere safe.
- After a break-in, check the strike plate and frame, not just the lock; that's usually where doors fail.
- Change smart lock batteries on a schedule rather than waiting for the low-battery warning.
- 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.
