Yes! We recognize that there may be times when you are faced with a potentially dangerous situation. This is why, whenever you call, we are always ready to go. We also work shifts around the holidays since there are many instances of people being locked out of their homes and other lock-related accidents. We can come down to any location in Los Angeles, even in the middle of the night, to assist you with any ley and lock-related issue as long as you are okay with it.

A new lock is installed on the door after the old one is removed. This is done by simply cutting off the current lock and replacing it with another one, so that the current key will no longer function. This will allow a new key to be inserted to open the door after the lock is removed. If you wish to alter your locks, you’ll want to rekey them.

If you are renting an apartment, this is the best course of action. When the locks were last changed or rekeyed, however, you should contact the property management or landlord to find out what happened. The owners may not know the solution; therefore, you should let them know that you plan to rekey it. If you are renting an apartment, you must first get permission from the landlord before we may rekey the lock.

No problem. Our locksmiths can rekey your or any automobile door lock, which will save you a lot of money because it is far less expensive than replacing the locksets. Changing the pins in your lock cylinder so that your old key will no longer work is known as rekeying.

The specialists that work with us are well-versed in the art of subtlety.  When the damaged key has been removed, we can guarantee that you will be able to use that lock. There are ways to remove the other elements of the lock if the key becomes stuck. When a bent or broken key becomes caught in your ignition or door lock, we have techniques to remove it carefully.

This is dependent on where you are on the property and what you are doing. Owners and managers of rental properties will find master rekeying helpful. Master rekeying refers to the usage of a single master key for all units. If there are 25 rooms on one level of your hotel and 7 floors in the building, you can have one key that opens every door on the first, another key that opens every door on the second, and so on. All of those keys might be cumbersome to talk about. It’s ideal, though, to have only five keys to access the different components.
