Residential Locksmith in Los Angeles

Home locksmith services we offer

Rekey or replace? How we help you decide

If your locks work smoothly and you only need to cut off old keys, after a move, a lost key or a roommate moving out, rekeying is usually the lower-cost choice. We change the pins inside the cylinder and hand you new keys.

Replacement is the better route when a lock is worn, rusted, forced or simply too basic for the door it guards. We can fit higher-security cylinders, sturdier deadbolts or keypad and smart locks, and we explain the difference in price and protection before you choose.

Common home lock problems we fix

• Key turns but the door will not open
• Key snapped inside the cylinder
• Deadbolt hard to throw or retract
• Lock damaged after an attempted break-in
• Keys lost or stolen
• Sliding door or gate lock not catching
• Smart lock with a dead battery or fault
• Need one key for every door
