Residential locksmith in Los Angeles: what we handle
A home lock problem rarely waits for a convenient moment. Our residential locksmiths work from stocked vans, so we can open a locked door, rekey every lock in the house or fit a new deadbolt on the same visit in most cases.
Before anything is touched, we explain what we recommend and what it will cost. If a repair makes more sense than a replacement, we'll say so.

Rekey or replace?
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so old keys stop working. It's quick and usually the most affordable option when the hardware is in good shape.
Replacement makes sense when a lock is worn, has been forced, or you want a higher-security or smart model. We carry several grades of hardware so you can choose what suits the door and your budget. Read more in why to rekey when you move.

Residential locksmith FAQ
Can you rekey all my locks to one key?
Usually, yes, if the locks share a compatible keyway. If they don't, we can swap one or two cylinders so the whole house runs on a single key.
Do you install smart locks?
Yes. We fit keypad and app-controlled smart locks and check the door is aligned so the bolt throws fully.
Will you need proof that I live there?
Yes. For lockouts and lock changes we ask for ID showing the address, a lease, or another document. It protects you as much as us.
Can you help a landlord after an eviction?
We change or rekey locks once the lawful eviction process is complete and the property has been returned to you.
