Locks and homes in Atwater Village
Atwater Village is a narrow strip of Los Angeles squeezed between the 5, the river and Glendale. It is mostly small Spanish and Tudor style bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s on tidy blocks, with Glendale Boulevard as the commercial spine and a Sunday farmers market. Many owners here are restoring their houses rather than replacing things.
That restoring instinct shapes the job. People want the arched front door kept, the original escutcheons kept, the glass knob on the bedroom kept, and yet a deadbolt that actually holds. So the work is fitting modern security into period doors carefully: a deadbolt in a finish that matches, a rekeyed cylinder in an old mortise body where it is sound, or a smart lock placed on a side door instead of the historic front. Small houses here often have a detached garage off the alley, and its side door and roll-up lock tend to be the weakest locks on the lot.
Getting to Atwater Village
Twenty-three miles, give or take. Straight down the 5 to the Los Feliz Boulevard or Glendale Boulevard exits, which lands us here in 35 to 55 minutes. Traffic near the 2 interchange decides which end of that range it is.
Where we work in Atwater Village
Glendale Boulevard, Los Feliz Boulevard, Chevy Chase Drive, the blocks along the river path, and the streets near the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge. Across the water is Los Feliz, and Eagle Rock and Glendale are close by; all three have their own GoKey pages.
Atwater Village locksmith questions
Can you add a deadbolt without ruining my original 1920s door?
Yes. We place it where the wood is solid, choose a finish close to the old hardware and keep the original knob and plate where you want them. Text us a photo of both sides of the door first.
My detached garage is off the alley. Can that door match the house key?
Usually. The side door can be rekeyed or fitted with a matching cylinder, and a roll-up door can take a keyed-alike padlock or lock. We put the house, garage and gate on one key.
Is a smart lock a bad idea on an old house?
Not at all, but it fits better on a side or back door than on a historic front door. That way you get codes for guests and workers without changing the look of the street side.
