Lock and key work in South Los Angeles (east of the 110)
The housing here is varied, so one day we are rekeying a Craftsman bungalow and the next fitting a keypad on a duplex or opening a small shop. That variety is normal for a mobile locksmith in this part of town. Tell us the type of property when you call so we bring the right hardware.
Typical jobs here include:
- Car door and trunk lockouts
- Key copies for family, tenants and staff
- Broken key removal
- Fixing ignitions that stick or will not turn
- Opening locked doors at homes and apartments
- Safe and file cabinet opening
Services in focus
Safes and file cabinets
A locked file cabinet or a safe that will not open can hold up a whole day. Our technicians use manipulation and bypass methods before anything destructive. We also supply replacement cabinet and safe locks. More about safes and file cabinets.
Lock changes
Sticking keys, loose cylinders and bolts that miss the strike are signs a lock is due for replacement. We bring common residential and light-commercial hardware in the van. Customer-supplied locks can be fitted too if the door is prepared for them. More about lock changes.
Just moved in?
New homeowners often rekey everything to one key on day one. It is quick, usually costs less than new locks, and removes any doubt about who has access.
After a break-in
Call the police first and photograph the damage before anything is repaired. Then have damaged locks replaced and the rest rekeyed if keys may have been taken.
How a visit works
First we listen, then we quote, then we work. The technician will ask for ID or proof of access, look at the lock and talk you through the fix. You only pay for work you agreed to, and you see the lock working before we go.
