Where we are straight with you
Some situations are a locksmith job and some are not. If a door or frame is damaged beyond the lock itself, we can secure the opening but may recommend a carpenter or contractor for the repair, and we will tell you that honestly rather than overstate what a lock swap can fix. Here in Pacoima, we say so before we start, not after.
How we keep it straight
If you are in Pacoima and stuck, call and we will talk through your options before anyone commits to anything.
Expect us to ask for identification and some proof that the property or vehicle is yours or that you are authorized for it. We do this on every job, and we appreciate your patience with it.
We do not post a flat price here because the real number depends on the hardware, the situation, and the time of day. You get a clear quote before any work starts, and the total in writing before we begin.
We built this to be reachable when locks actually fail, which is rarely during business hours. Late calls still include the usual ID and ownership checks.

Questions people ask
Do you handle break-in damage?
We secure the opening and replace failed lock hardware on the spot. If the door or frame itself is damaged beyond the lock, we can stabilize it and point you to a carpenter or contractor for the structural repair.
Do you need to see ID?
Always. Before we open anything we confirm you own the property or vehicle, live there, or are authorized for it. It is how we make sure we are helping the right person.
