Paramount, around the clock
Looking for a locksmith in Paramount?
Census data puts the average Paramount household at 3.64 people (ACS 2019–2023). More people under one roof means more copies of the house key, more chances one goes missing, and more reasons to rekey. Fewer than half of homes here are owner-occupied, so landlord rekeys between tenants come up often too.
Paramount also has a working business side. Zamboni, the ice-resurfacing machine company, started here and is still headquartered in the city. We help shops, offices and light-industrial buildings with lock changes, rekeys, master key systems and lockouts. For any opening, we'll need to see ID and proof you live there, own the car or run the business.

How a visit works
From your call to a working lock.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Copy, rekey or replace Paramount locks and keys
Need keys for everyone in the house? <a href="/key-duplication/">Key duplication</a> covers standard house keys. If you've lost track of who has one, a <a href="/lock-rekey/">rekey</a> resets every exterior lock to a new key and makes the old copies worthless.
Locks that are damaged, loose in the door or failing get <a href="/lock-change/">replaced</a>. For businesses, we fit commercial-grade hardware and can build a <a href="/commercial-locksmith/">master key system</a> so managers carry one key and staff carry only what they need.

Keep Paramount locks in good shape
Every generation of copied key drifts a little from the original. After a few rounds the key binds in the cylinder and wears the pins down. When household keys stop feeling alike, have fresh ones cut from an original or from the lock's code.
Keep at least one spare somewhere safer than under the mat, such as with a relative you can rely on. And when a key starts to bend or crack, retire it before it breaks off in the cylinder.
- Cylinder turns without force
- Bolt lines up with the strike
- Keys cut from code, not worn copies
- Door hardware tight

FAQs
Paramount locksmith questions
Not sure what you need? Call and describe it; the locksmith will tell you.
We have a big household in Paramount. How many keys should we have cut?
One per adult who comes and goes, plus one spare kept outside the house with someone you trust. Paramount households average 3.64 people (Census ACS 2019–2023), so that's often five or more copies. If you've already lost count, it's cheaper to <a href="/lock-rekey/">rekey</a> and start fresh than to wonder where the old ones went. Then get your copies through <a href="/key-duplication/">key duplication</a>.
Which parts of Paramount do you cover?
Yes. We work across Paramount, including the downtown stretch of Paramount Boulevard where the Hay Tree, a camphor tree that's California Historical Landmark No. 1038, stands. Coverage includes the north side near the Century Freeway (I-105), the west side along the Long Beach Freeway (I-710), and the neighborhoods down toward Long Beach and Bellflower.
I rent in Paramount. Who pays for a rekey?
That depends on your lease, so check with your landlord first. The locks usually belong to the owner, who will want a working key. Fewer than half of Paramount homes are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2019–2023), so many rekeys here are ordered by owners between tenants. Locked out? Call anyway; you'll be asked for ID and proof that you live there.
What business lock work do you do in Paramount?
Our <a href="/commercial-locksmith/">commercial locksmith</a> service covers storefronts, offices, warehouses and shop doors. Typical jobs are lockouts, rekeying after staff changes, replacing worn commercial locksets and setting up master key systems. Expect to show ID and something proving you own or manage the business before we open or rekey anything.
My car's key fob is gone. Can it be replaced in Paramount?
In most cases. A replacement fob has to be programmed to your vehicle, and many cars also need a transponder chip in the key itself. Have your make, model, year, VIN, ID and registration ready when you call. Details are on the <a href="/car-key-replacement/">car key replacement</a> page.
