Lock and key work in Lincoln Heights and Montecito Heights
Most calls here come from single-family homes: front doors, side gates, garage entries and back doors that all need keys. Owners often ask us to key every exterior door alike so one key does the job. Older houses frequently have original hardware that sticks or no longer latches cleanly, which is worth fixing before it fails.
Typical jobs here include:
- Opening cars and trunks with proper tools
- Rekeying after a move or lost keys
- Replacement car keys, cut and programmed
- Deadbolt installation and upgrades
- Broken key removal
- Keypad and smart lock installation
Services in focus
Safes and file cabinets
Forgotten combinations and lost cabinet keys are common calls. We aim to open safes and cabinets without harming the contents. Combinations can be reset and worn locks replaced. More about safes and file cabinets.
Mailbox locks
Mailbox locks wear out and their keys go missing more often than most. We replace mailbox locks for single homes and apartment banks where you are authorised. New keys come with every replacement. More about mailbox locks.
After a break-in
A break-in often exposes the weakest door. Once it is secure again, consider a higher-grade deadbolt, a reinforced strike and longer screws into the framing.
For landlords and managers
A master key system lets maintenance staff access units with one key while tenants keep their own. We can survey a building and quote the work.
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.
