Residential locksmith in Venice, CA

Home locksmith services

Your front door lock gets used thousands of times a year, often in salty coastal air, so it is no surprise that keys stick, cylinders wear and latches stop catching. We repair what can be repaired and replace what can't, and we tell you which is which before any work starts.

Rekeying when you move or lose a key

Rekeying swaps the pin set inside your existing lock so it works with a new key and every old copy stops working. It is the quickest way to take back control after you move in, end a tenancy or lose a key ring. Read why rekeying matters when you move for more detail.

Apartment lock changes

Landlords and property managers call us between tenants to rekey or change unit locks, mailbox locks and common-area doors. We can key several doors alike or build a simple master key system so management keeps one key that opens every unit.

Deadbolts and stronger front doors

A good deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate and longer screws makes a door far harder to force. We fit single- and double-cylinder deadbolts and can suggest a lock grade that suits your door, your budget and your insurance requirements.

Lock changes after a lawful eviction

Property owners sometimes need locks changed after an eviction. We change locks once the owner or the sheriff confirms the property may be secured, and we document what was changed.
