Where we are straight with you
New hardware does not cure a tired door. Where the jamb, hinges, or frame are the underlying problem, we are honest that a lock change alone will not hold, and we point you to what else the door needs. Here in Encino, we say so before we start, not after.
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.
Before we open a door, start a car or make a key, we confirm you have the right to be there — photo ID plus proof of residence, ownership, or authorization. It protects you as much as it protects us.
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.
Our arrival estimate is tied to our actual location and the roads that day. If something changes it, we tell you instead of leaving you guessing.

Questions people ask
Can you match new locks to my existing key?
Usually, yes. We can key new hardware to a key you already carry so you do not add another key to the ring.
Should I rekey or change the lock?
If the hardware is sound, rekeying is cheaper. If it is worn, damaged, or outdated, a change is the better value. We assess yours in Encino and give you both prices.
