Locks and homes in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks runs from busy Ventura Boulevard buildings and apartments up into gated hillside homes, so we handle everything from a condo mailbox lock to a high-security deadbolt on a canyon property. We rekey to one key, cut and program car keys on site, and open locked doors without drilling wherever the lock allows.
Ventura Boulevard splits Sherman Oaks into two different jobs. South of it the streets climb into the hills: single-family houses on long driveways, pedestrian gates, side gates, and often a lock at the street as well as one at the door. North of it is flatter and denser, condos and apartment buildings where the work is turnover and mailboxes. The hillside side also brings the problem hillsides always bring, doors that have moved with the ground and no longer meet the strike squarely, which people mistake for a failing deadbolt far more often than it is one.
Getting to Sherman Oaks
Eighteen miles over the pass, so 25 to 40 minutes depending entirely on the 405. For a hillside address, tell us whether there is anywhere to park: some of these streets have no shoulder at all and that is the part that turns a quick job slow.
Where we work in Sherman Oaks
Ventura Boulevard, Chandler Estates, the hills south of Ventura, and the streets around the 101 and 405. Not listed? Call anyway, we cover the whole area.
Sherman Oaks locksmith questions
Do you cover the Sherman Oaks hillside homes?
Yes. We reach the canyon streets south of Ventura as well as the flats, and work on high-security and gated-property locks as readily as standard ones.
Can you come to a Ventura Boulevard apartment?
Of course. Apartment and condo lockouts, mailbox locks and rekeys along Ventura Boulevard are among our most common Sherman Oaks jobs.
Can the gate at the street and the front door take the same key?
Usually. Gate cylinders on these streets are mostly standard sizes in non-standard housings, and if we can rekey it we bring it onto your house key. It is a small thing that stops the gate being left unlocked because the right key was on the other ring.
My deadbolt is hard to turn. Is the lock going?
On a hillside house, more often it is the door. The frame moves with the slope and the seasons, the bolt starts binding on the strike, and the lock takes the blame. We check the alignment first and adjust the strike, which is a short visit. If the cylinder really is worn we will show you why before replacing anything.
