Where we are straight with you
We answer and dispatch at any hour, but we will not pretend a complex job is a quick overnight fix. When something needs a part or a specialist, we tell you plainly and make the opening safe in the meantime. Here in Northridge, we say so before we start, not after.
How we keep it straight
Anywhere in Northridge, pick up the phone and we will walk through it before anything is committed.
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.
Rather than guess at a price online, we look at the lock or vehicle, explain your options, and give you the total up front. You approve it in writing before we start.
We answer around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. The same ID and authorization checks apply at 3 a.m. as at 3 p.m.

Questions people ask
Do overnight calls cost more?
Pricing depends on the job, not a surprise after-hours multiplier we spring on you. Whatever the hour, we quote the total before we start and put it in writing.
What if you can't finish the job overnight?
If a part has to be sourced, we make the opening safe tonight and return to finish once it is in hand. We will not leave you unsecured, and we explain the plan before we start.
