Need a locksmith in LA County?

Locked out, lost the only car key, or moved into a place where you don't know who has copies? SoCal 24/7 Locksmith handles the opening, the new key and the lock work that follows, for houses, apartments, vehicles and small businesses.

The first question is always what you actually need. A lock that works fine usually only needs rekeying. A worn or broken one gets replaced. A car key may need cutting, programming, or both. The locksmith explains which before starting.

How a visit works

From your call to a working lock.

  1. 01

    Call and describe the job

    Say what's locked or lost, the address, and anything you know about the lock or key: car year and model, deadbolt brand, number of doors. That decides which tools and blanks come with the locksmith.

  2. 02

    ID check and a confirmed price

    On arrival the locksmith checks ID and proof that you live there or own the vehicle, looks at the lock, and confirms the work and the price with you. Nothing starts until you agree.

  3. 03

    The work, then a test

    The door is opened, the lock rekeyed or replaced, or the key cut and programmed. Every key is tried in its lock, and every fob is tested on the car, before the locksmith leaves.

Residential locks

Rekey, replace & install locks for your home

Not every lock problem means new hardware. A sticky cylinder can be cleaned and adjusted, a sound lock can be rekeyed, and only worn or damaged locks really need replacing.

When you do want something new, the options run from a sturdier deadbolt and a reinforced strike plate to a keypad or smart lock that lets you stop handing out copies. The locksmith fits it to your door and checks that the bolt throws fully.

Keep your locks working the way they should

Most lockouts start with small warning signs: a key that has to be jiggled, a deadbolt that only turns when you pull the door, a worn copy of a copy. Those are cheap to fix before the key snaps or the bolt jams.

A quick check covers the cylinder, the key cut, how the bolt lines up with the strike, and whether the door has dropped on its hinges. Cutting a fresh key from the code beats copying a worn one.

  • Cylinder turns without force
  • Bolt lines up with the strike
  • Keys cut from code, not worn copies
  • Door hardware tight

Talk to a technicianOpen 24/7Mon–Sun, Open 24 hours(562) 534-1992See all questions →
What do I need to show before you open my house or car?

A photo ID and something tying you to the property or vehicle: a utility bill, lease or mail with the address for a home, or the registration or title for a car. The check protects you as much as anyone. See <a href="/residential-locksmith/">home lockouts</a> and <a href="/car-locksmith/">car lockouts</a>.

Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving in?

If the locks work well and you like them, <a href="/lock-rekey/">rekeying</a> changes the pins inside so old keys stop working, and you keep the hardware. A <a href="/lock-change/">lock change</a> makes sense when a lock is worn, damaged or lower security than you want.

Can you make a car key if I lost every copy?

Often, yes. Many keys can be cut from the vehicle's lock or key code and then programmed to the car. Some models need dealer-only steps. Call with the year, make and model and the locksmith will tell you before coming out. More on <a href="/car-key-replacement/">car key replacement</a>.

Do you answer the phone at night?

Yes. Calls to (562) 534-1992 are answered 24 hours a day, every day. Say what's locked and where you are, and you'll hear what the visit involves before anyone heads out. Any current savings are listed on the <a href="/coupons/">coupons page</a>.

Do you work on business locks?

Yes: rekeying after staff changes, master key systems, exit devices, storefront cylinders and office doors. See <a href="/commercial-locksmith/">commercial locksmith service</a>.

Where are you located?

The shop is at 5150 Candlewood St, Suite 17B, Lakewood, CA 90712. Most work happens at your door, so call first rather than walking in.
