Locks and homes in Lake View Terrace
Lake View Terrace sits where the Valley floor meets the San Gabriel foothills, beside the 210 and the open ground of the Hansen Dam Recreation Area. It is a neighborhood of owner-occupied houses, many of them in the same family for decades, with a few horse lots toward the hills.
A lot of homes here have a steel security screen door in front of the wood one, and each has its own lock. Over the years the two end up on different keys, the screen door's cylinder rusts in the sun, and the wood door behind it gets a deadbolt that was never matched. We key both doors to one key, replace a seized security door lock with a weather-rated one, and do the same for the back door and its own screen. Houses that changed hands inside a family are the other regular: nobody knows how many copies of the old key are out there, so the whole house is rekeyed at once.
Getting to Lake View Terrace
About ten miles in a straight line, and 25 to 40 minutes by road: the 5 to the 210 east, off at Osborne Street or Foothill Boulevard.
Where we work in Lake View Terrace
Foothill Boulevard and Osborne Street, the streets below Hansen Dam, and the blocks climbing toward the foothills north of the 210. Pacoima, Sylmar, Shadow Hills and Sun Valley around it each have a page.
Lake View Terrace locksmith questions
Can my security screen door and front door use the same key?
In most cases, yes. If the screen door lock takes a standard cylinder, we rekey it to match the deadbolt behind it. If the brand cannot be matched, we replace that cylinder with one that can. Text a photo of both locks and the key.
The lock on my screen door has rusted and the key will not turn. What now?
Sun and rain wear out the cheap cylinders these doors often come with. We replace it with a better-sealed one and key it to your other doors, so it does not happen again next summer.
I inherited my parents' house. Should I change the locks?
Yes, it is the first thing to do. Relatives, neighbours and former helpers may still hold keys. Rekeying every door to one new key is quick, keeps the locks you already have, and settles the question for good.
