Locks and homes in Toluca Lake
Toluca Lake is one of the valley's oldest settled corners, built up in the 1920s and 1930s around a small private lake, with Spanish Colonial, Tudor and Traditional homes on large shaded lots. Many residents work at the studios a few minutes away in Burbank, and the neighbourhood village along Riverside Drive keeps its small-town feel.
Houses of this age and value often have hardware worth keeping: solid wood or glass-paneled doors, original or period-correct mortise locksets in brass or bronze, and French doors onto the garden. The job is usually to make them secure without making them look modern, which means fitting a high-security cylinder into the existing mortise body, rekeying the whole house to one key, or adding a deadbolt in a matching finish. Behind the hedges are pedestrian gates and driveway gates, with keyed latches, keypads or intercom releases that need attention when staff, gardeners or contractors change. The condo buildings along Riverside add garage remotes, fob readers and mailbox locks.
Getting to Toluca Lake
About eighteen and a half miles, and 25 to 40 minutes is the honest window: the 14 to the 5 south, then the 134 west toward Riverside Drive. Weekday evenings near the studios can push us to the long end of it.
Where we work in Toluca Lake

Toluca Lake locksmith questions
Can you make my original brass door hardware more secure without replacing it?
Often, yes. Many mortise locks accept a high-security cylinder, so the handles and plates stay exactly as they are while the key becomes one that cannot be copied without authorization.
Our gardener and housekeeper changed. What should we change?
Rekey any door they had a key to, change the gate keypad code, and if the property has a master key system, retire their keys there too. We can do all of it in one visit and leave you a list of who holds what.
Do you work on driveway and garden gate locks?
Yes: keyed gate latches, electric strikes, keypads and lockboxes. For motors and gate operators themselves you need a gate company; we handle the locking side.
