Locks and homes in Valley Glen
Valley Glen was carved out of Van Nuys and North Hollywood in 1998 by residents who wanted their own name on the map. It is a mix that changes block by block: modest postwar houses on the side streets, dense apartment buildings on the boulevards, and a big student and faculty population around the college. The Tujunga Wash runs through the middle, with the Great Wall of Los Angeles mural along its banks.
Students and renters lose keys, and that is a fair share of the calls here: a single apartment key gone, a roommate who left without returning theirs, a car key fob that went through the wash. For landlords of the small fourplexes and courtyard buildings, the useful job is a restricted keyway, so a tenant cannot walk into a hardware store and copy the key. On the house side the doors are mostly original hollow-core or thin solid wood with a basic knob and deadbolt, and an upgrade to a longer-throw deadbolt with a reinforced strike makes the biggest difference for the least disruption. Small offices along Victory and Oxnard call for door closers, panic bars and keypad locks.

Valley Glen locksmith questions
My roommate moved out and kept a key. What is the quickest fix?
A rekey of the apartment door. The lock stays, the old keys stop working, and you get new ones on the spot. If you rent, check with your landlord first; many are glad to have it done and some want a copy of the new key.
Can you stop tenants from copying keys to my building?
Yes, with a restricted keyway: the key blank is not sold over the counter, and copies are cut only with the owner's authorization. It is a good fit for small buildings with frequent turnover.
Do you replace car key fobs as well?
Yes, for most makes. Text the year, make and model first so we can confirm we carry the right fob before coming out.
