Residential Locksmith in Los Angeles

Home locksmith work, done at your door

Most home lock problems fall into a handful of jobs: getting you back inside, making sure old keys stop working, fixing hardware that has worn out, or fitting something stronger. A mobile residential locksmith carries the cylinders, pins, deadbolts and key machines to handle these at your address rather than sending you to a shop.

Tell us what is happening when you call — the type of door, the kind of lock and whether anything is damaged — and we’ll give you a price range before a technician sets out.

Rekey or replace?

Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing cylinder so it works with a new key. It is the usual choice after moving in, losing a key or ending a tenancy, as long as the lock itself is in good shape. Replacing makes more sense when the lock is worn, damaged, low quality or when you want an upgrade such as a heavier deadbolt or a keypad lock. We’ll tell you which applies once we see the hardware.

Brands we work with

We carry and service common residential and high-security brands including Yale, Mul-T-Lock, Falcon, ASSA and Schlage, and we can work on most standard locks already on your doors.

Landlords and property managers

We rekey units between tenants, replace mailbox locks, set up master key systems and change locks after a lawful eviction once the sheriff has returned possession of the unit. Let us know how many doors and units are involved and we’ll schedule the work in one visit where possible.
