Urgent calls usually come down to one of three things: you cannot get in, you cannot lock up, or you cannot drive. If any of those is true, call 626-537-2150. We will ask a few questions, quote the job and send a locksmith with the parts most likely to be needed.
Urgent jobs we handle
- House, apartment and business lockouts.
- Keys locked in a car or trunk.
- Keys snapped in a lock or ignition.
- Stolen keys — locks rekeyed or replaced the same visit.
- Break-in damage — locks and strikes replaced, door secured.
- A deadbolt that will not lock at closing time.
- Safes and cabinets that will not open.
While you wait
- Stay somewhere comfortable and safe — in summer, that means shade or air conditioning, not a hot doorstep.
- Find your ID or something that shows your address.
- Do not force windows or doors; the repair often costs more than the lockout.
- A child or pet in a hot car? Call 911 right away.
After a break-in
Let the police finish first and take photos for your insurer. Then we replace damaged locks, repair or reinforce the strike, and rekey other doors if keys were taken. If the frame is badly split, we secure the door for now and you may need a carpenter for a permanent repair.
Pricing without surprises
You hear the price on the phone and the locksmith confirms it on site before starting. If what we find is different from what was described, we explain and agree any change with you first.

Frequently asked questions
When can you get here?
That depends on where you are, the time of day and calls already booked. We give you a realistic estimate and let you know if it changes.
Is there an extra charge after hours?
Ask us when you call — you will hear the total before anyone is sent.
Someone broke in. Who do I call first?
Call 911 first. Once police have finished, we can secure the door and replace damaged locks.
