Locks and homes in West Los Angeles

West LA is apartment country. Dense two and three storey buildings from the 1950s to the 1980s, newer mid-rise blocks along the boulevards, the Sawtelle shopping street, and small offices and shops in between.

Buildings of that age were often keyed once and then patched for decades: some units rekeyed, some replaced, a garage gate and a laundry room on keys nobody can match, and a mailbox bank where every lock is different. The most useful thing for an owner or manager here is a plan: every unit rekeyed on move-out, the common doors on one master, and a written chart of which key opens what.

Booking

How booking works in West Los Angeles

West Los Angeles is about 25 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.

Neighborhoods

Where we work in West Los Angeles

Sawtelle, the streets around Santa Monica Boulevard, Olympic and Pico, Westwood's southern edge, and the blocks toward Rancho Park.

Questions

West Los Angeles locksmith questions

What should I change between tenants?

The unit door, the mailbox, and any common key the tenant held for the garage, laundry or pedestrian gate. On a master system only the unit is repinned; the building keeps working.

Can you replace the locks on a bank of apartment mailboxes?

Yes, the individual tenant locks, keyed per unit. The carrier's master lock belongs to the Postal Service and we leave it alone.

Can you come out for a lockout in West Los Angeles?

Not yet. From Canyon Country we cannot reach West Los Angeles 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.
