Securing family homes
Many homes here combine a front door, a security screen door and a side or back door that opens onto a driveway. We often key all of them alike and add a deadbolt where only a knob lock is fitted. Reinforced strike plates with longer screws make a noticeable difference to how well a door resists being kicked in.
Students near USC
Around the University Park area (90007 and 90089), students and landlords call us for lockouts, lost keys and rekeys at the start and end of term. Book turnovers ahead in August and May, when demand is highest.
Shops and auto businesses
Along Vermont, Western, Crenshaw and Central we work on roll-down gate padlocks, shop doors and office locks, and help mechanics and dealers with vehicle keys. See our automotive locksmith services.
Rental properties and turnovers
Many South LA homes are owner-occupied with a rented back unit or duplex next door. Between tenants, rekeying both the unit door and any shared gate is a low-cost step that protects everyone. We can keep the owner's key working on the shared gate while giving each unit its own key. If you manage several properties, ask us about booking a block of turnovers on one day to keep costs down.

Questions from South LA
Can you make keys for a car I just bought used?
Yes. Bring your registration and ID, and we can cut and program spare keys for many vehicles.
Do you fit stronger strike plates?
Yes. A reinforced strike plate with long screws into the stud is one of the simplest upgrades for a front door.
