Locks and homes in Mar Vista
Mar Vista is mostly postwar: small single-family houses from the 1940s and 1950s, including the Mar Vista Tract, a protected group of modernist houses by Gregory Ain, with apartment buildings along the boulevards.
Postwar houses were built with modest hardware, and seventy years on much of it is either original and worn or replaced with whatever was on the shelf. The typical visit is the whole house to one key, a real deadbolt where there was only a knob, and a side gate lock that matches. In the Mar Vista Tract, where the look of the house matters, we keep changes invisible from the street: a rekey changes nothing you can see.
How booking works in Mar Vista
Mar Vista is about 28 miles from our base in Canyon Country. That is too far for us to promise the quick arrival a lockout needs, so we do not take lockout calls here, and we would rather say so than leave you waiting on a doorstep. Everything that can be planned we do gladly: text photos of the doors and what you want done, we send a price, and we book a time, usually within the week.
Where we work in Mar Vista
The Mar Vista Tract, Mar Vista Hill, the streets around Grand View and Centinela, and the apartments along Venice and Palms Boulevards.
Mar Vista locksmith questions
Our house is in the Mar Vista Tract. Can we change the locks without changing the look?
Yes. A rekey leaves the hardware exactly as it is, and where a lock has to be replaced we match the style and finish so nothing visible changes from the street.
The side gate has its own key. Can it match the house?
Usually. If the gate lock is the same brand as the house we rekey it; if not, we fit one that is, keyed to the house.
Can you come out for a lockout in Mar Vista?
Not yet. From Canyon Country we cannot reach Mar Vista fast enough to make a lockout worth your wait, so for now we only do booked work here: rekeys, lock changes, new locks, smart locks and master key systems. For a lockout right now, a locksmith closer to you will reach you sooner.
