Lock and key work in Civic Center, Chinatown and Little Tokyo
Loft conversions and high-rise residences mean many residents have both a unit lock and a building fob. We handle the unit lock and work alongside building management on anything shared. Businesses here often book after-hours work so trading is not disrupted.
Typical jobs here include:
- Panic bars and exit devices
- Storefront and office lock service
- Safe and file cabinet opening
- Transponder keys and remotes for many vehicles
- Securing doors after a break-in
- Key copies for family, tenants and staff
Services in focus
Home lockouts
Locked out of a house or apartment? We use non-destructive entry first, picking or bypassing the lock. If a lock must be drilled, we explain why and quote the replacement before going ahead. More about home lockouts.
Repairs after a break-in
A forced door often needs a new strike, a new lock and sometimes frame reinforcement. Photograph the damage for insurance before repairs start. We can make the door lockable the same day. More about repairs after a break-in.
Keeping a spare key
Give a spare to someone you trust nearby rather than hiding it outside. Key safes with a code are an option for rentals and carers.
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.
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.
