Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does a locksmith cost in Los Angeles?
It depends on the job, the lock or vehicle and the time of day. Call 310-765-9487 with the details and we'll give you a quote before any work starts. Our price list page will show standard rates once they're published.
Do you work nights, weekends and holidays?
Our posted hours are Monday through Sunday, all day. Availability can still vary, so call to check when a technician can reach you.
Can you make a key if I've lost all my car keys?
In many cases, yes. We cut and program many standard, transponder and remote keys on site. Tell us the make, model and year so we can confirm before we come out.
Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving?
If the locks are in good shape, rekeying is usually the more economical way to stop old keys from working. Replacement makes sense for worn, damaged or low-security locks.
Will you ask for ID?
Yes. For lockouts and key work we ask for proof that you live at the address or own the vehicle. It protects you as much as it protects us.
