Locksmith in Van Nuys, CA 91410

91410 is part of the Van Nuys postal area. We cover the nearby offices, workshops and homes from our dispatch location a short drive away.

Business owners here ask us about panic bars and exit devices, and landlords call us to change locks between tenants.

Panic bars and exit hardware

Exit doors in shops, offices and warehouses need hardware that opens with a single push from inside. Panic bars that stick, rattle or fail to latch should be repaired before they become a safety problem.

We supply and install push bars suited to the door width, the amount of foot traffic and the layout of the building, and we can add exterior trim so staff can still enter with a key.

Exit hardware must still meet fire and building codes, so tell us how the door is used and whether it is a required exit. We fit hardware that keeps the door easy to open from inside.

Rental properties and lock changes

Property managers and landlords call us to change or rekey locks between tenants, set up master keys for buildings with several units, and secure a unit after an eviction.

We can work to a schedule you set, key common areas such as gates and laundry rooms to the right tenants, and keep the work consistent across every unit you manage.

Keeping a simple record of which key opens which unit, and when each lock was last changed, makes turnovers smoother and helps you answer tenants' questions about security.

Rekeying when people move in or out

Moving into a new place means you rarely know how many copies of the old key exist. Former owners, tenants, agents, cleaners and contractors may all have had one. Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock so only your new keys work, and you keep the hardware you already have.

Several doors can usually be set to one key, which means fewer keys on your ring. Landlords often rekey between tenants for the same reason.

Rekeying is also worth considering after a roommate moves out, a relationship ends or a set of keys goes missing. It is a quick way to take back control without changing the look of your doors.
