Locks and homes in North Hollywood
North Hollywood is a busy mix of apartments, older homes and small businesses around the arts district and the Metro station, so we move between apartment lockouts, tenant-turnover rekeys and storefront locks. We cut and program car keys on site and open doors without drilling wherever we can.
North Hollywood is older housing stock under constant turnover. The blocks around the NoHo Arts District are small apartment buildings, courtyard fourplexes and bungalow courts from the forties and fifties, many still on original hardware that has been rekeyed by four different people over the years and now opens more smoothly than it should. East toward Lankershim there are industrial and studio units where the roll-up and the personnel door are the whole security. The recurring job here is a unit changing hands, and the recurring finding is a lock that a previous tenant clearly had a key to.
Getting to North Hollywood
Seventeen miles, so 25 to 40 minutes, with the 170 and the 101 setting the pace. For a fourplex or a courtyard building, meeting us at the street saves a good few minutes of finding the right unit.
Where we work in North Hollywood
The NoHo Arts District, Lankershim, Magnolia, and the streets around the Metro station and the 170. Not listed? Call anyway, we cover the whole area.
North Hollywood locksmith questions
Do you handle apartment lockouts in NoHo?
Yes. Apartment and unit lockouts around the arts district and the Metro are among our most common North Hollywood calls, opened without damage in most cases.
Can you rekey a small business storefront?
We can. We rekey and repair storefront and office locks and can set a master key so managers and staff carry the right access.
The lock feels loose and turns too easily. Should I worry?
Yes, mildly. A cylinder that has been rekeyed repeatedly and worn over decades loses tolerance, and a worn lock is easier to pick and easier to force. It is also a sign of how many keys have been through it. On an older unit we would rather replace that cylinder than rekey it a fifth time.
Can you rekey a fourplex so each unit is different but I hold one key?
Yes, and it is the standard answer for a small building. Four different tenant keys, one master for you, mailboxes and laundry included if you want them, and a written record so you know exactly which key opens which door a year from now.
