- We test the lock after opening to make sure it still turns smoothly before we go.

Where we are straight with you
Most doors we open and leave exactly as we found them. Where a lock is damaged or too stubborn to open cleanly, we are upfront that the honest path is a replacement, not a forced entry that wrecks the door. Around Encino, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
Encino is well inside the area we cover, so get in touch and we will tell you honestly what it will take.
Identification and proof of ownership or authorization come first. It is not about doubting you; it is about a locksmith only ever opening doors for the people entitled to them.
We would rather quote you straight than bait you with a number that changes on arrival. You hear the price up front and sign off on it in writing before anything begins.
Being genuinely open 24 hours means you reach a locksmith, not a voicemail, whatever the hour — with the usual verification still in place.

Questions people ask
What proof do you need that it is my home?
Photo ID plus something tying you to the address — a license, mail, or a lease, for example. It is a standard check on every lockout, at any hour.
I lost my only key — can you make a new one?
Yes. Once you are back inside we can rekey the lock and cut fresh keys on site, so the lost key no longer opens your door. We quote that before starting.
