Locksmith in Van Nuys, CA 91499

91499 is one of the Van Nuys postal ZIP codes. We cover the surrounding homes, rentals and offices from our nearby dispatch location.

Landlords here call us between tenancies, and residents call after break-ins to repair and secure their doors.

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.

Home lockouts, start to finish

When you call about a home lockout, we ask which door you are locked out of, what type of lock it is and whether anyone is inside. That tells the technician which tools to bring. On arrival they confirm you live at the address, then work the lock open, usually without drilling. Before leaving they check that the lock still turns smoothly and the door latches properly.

If keys are lost rather than locked inside, it is worth rekeying the same day so the missing keys no longer work.

If you rent, have your lease or a recent bill with the address to hand, and let your building manager know a locksmith is coming so there are no surprises at the gate.

Smart locks and keyless entry

Keypad and smart locks let you share codes instead of copying keys, and remove a code when it is no longer needed. They suit rentals, busy households and businesses where staff change.

We install locks you have bought or help you choose one that fits your door. We check door thickness, backset and bore first, and make sure there is still a key override if batteries run out.

Choose a lock with a good battery warning and replace batteries on a schedule. Change default codes straight away and give each person their own code so access is easy to review.
