Locks and homes in Westwood

Westwood is built around UCLA. North of Wilshire and west of the campus, apartment buildings and duplexes fill with students on a yearly lease cycle; along Wilshire, high-rise condo towers house owners who often spend part of the year elsewhere; and the residential streets of Holmby Westwood and Westwood Hills are quiet single-family blocks.

The calendar drives the work. Leases near campus tend to turn over together in early summer and again before the fall quarter, and a unit shared by four roommates may have had a dozen keys cut over a year. Landlords book a batch of rekeys for the days between move-out and move-in, with the mailbox lock done at the same visit. In the towers the job is a unit entry lock fitted within the building's rules, and for owners who travel, a smart lock that lets a cleaner or a relative in on a code.

Booking

How booking works in Westwood

Westwood is about 24 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.

Where we work in Westwood

The North Village around Gayley, Landfair and Levering, Westwood Village and Westwood Boulevard, the Wilshire Corridor towers, Holmby Westwood, Westwood Hills, and the streets toward Veteran Avenue. Brentwood, Bel Air, West Los Angeles and Beverly Hills each have their own page.

Questions

Westwood locksmith questions

I manage several units near UCLA that all turn over in the same week. Can you do them together?

Yes, and that is the best way to do it. Text us the addresses and unit numbers ahead of time, we book one visit for the batch, and each unit gets new keys with its mailbox rekeyed the same day.

Does my condo building have to approve a new lock on my unit door?

Many towers on Wilshire have rules about the hallway side of the door, and some keep a key for emergencies. A rekey changes nothing visible; for new hardware, ask the management office first and we fit something within their rules.

Can you come out for a lockout in Westwood?

Not yet. From Canyon Country we cannot reach Westwood 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.

Planning lock work in Westwood?

Text photos of the doors and pick a time. You get the price before we book.
