What happens when you call
If a lock has to be drilled, we explain why and give you the replacement cost before going ahead.

Our technicians carry identification and will tell you their name when they arrive.
Security tips
- 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.
- Keep a spare car key at home; replacing a lost only-key costs more than making a duplicate.
- Ask for an invoice after any lock work; it helps with insurance claims.
- Rekey whenever a key goes missing, not just when you move.
Questions from customers in Pacoima & Arleta
How much does a locksmith charge?
It depends on the job, the hardware and the time of day. Call with the details and we'll quote before any work begins.
Can you change mailbox locks?
Yes, for private mailboxes. USPS-owned cluster boxes are handled by the post office.
Can you fix a lock that sticks?
Usually. Cleaning, lubrication or adjusting the strike often solves it without replacement.
Do you open locks without damage?
Wherever possible, yes. Drilling is a last resort and we'll explain and quote first.
Can you program a fob I bought online?
Sometimes. Share the part number and we'll tell you before coming out.
