"Jonathan did an amazing job doing a high-security lock fix in Sherman Oaks. He was very transparent with the costs. He also showed me exactly what was wrong with it and how he was going to repair it. Furthermore, he was very detailed in making sure everything was done correctly before leaving. Highly recommended."

"Jonathan was amazing to work with. He was super responsive, quick to schedule, and showed up right on time in Reseda. He made the whole process really easy and was very friendly and professional throughout. He rekeyed all three of our doors efficiently and gave us very fair pricing, which we really appreciated. On top of that, he went the extra mile to make sure we had copies of the new keys before he left. Overall, a great experience — highly recommend Jonathan if you need a reliable locksmith!"

Lock Change in Encino
Changing the locks on your Encino home is the single most effective thing you can do to control who has access — whether you've just moved in, a key has gone missing, or you're upgrading from builder-grade hardware to something that actually resists a kick-in. We do lock changes across Encino every week, from the mid-century homes in the flats to the estates in the hills above Ventura Blvd.
A proper lock change isn't just swapping one deadbolt for another. It means choosing hardware that fits your door thickness and backset, making sure the strike plate is reinforced, and — if you're going high-security — setting up a restricted keyway so copies can't be made without your authorization. We handle all of that in one visit, with the hardware in the van.
Most Encino homes we service have one of two setups: a standard Schlage or Kwikset deadbolt with a knob-lock combo, or a higher-end Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinder on a premium door. We carry stock for all of them, plus smart-lock options for homeowners who want keypad or app control. Call and we'll help you choose the right hardware for your door and your budget before we head out.
Areas of Encino we serve
Encino sits along the southern edge of Los Angeles County, straddling Ventura Blvd. Its housing ranges from older mid-century homes in the flats to larger estates in the hills — a mix of standard deadbolts, high-security cylinders, and multi-point entry hardware that we service regularly.

Common lock problems we fix in Encino
Just moved in — how many keys are out there?
When you buy a home in Encino, you have no way of knowing how many copies of the old key exist. Realtors, contractors, previous owners, neighbors — any of them could have one. Changing the locks or rekeying the cylinders on your first day is the standard recommendation, and we can do every door in a single visit.
Old deadbolt is builder-grade and won't resist a kick
Many Encino homes built in the 60s–80s have original deadbolts with short screws in the strike plate and no reinforcement. A kick-in takes seconds. We replace the deadbolt with a Grade 1 unit and install a reinforced strike plate with 3-inch screws that anchor into the stud — the single biggest security upgrade you can make.
Key was lost or stolen
If a key is missing, the lock needs to be rekeyed or replaced so the lost key no longer works. Rekeying is faster and cheaper if the lock is in good condition. If the lock is old or worn, this is a good time to upgrade the hardware entirely.
Want to upgrade to a smart lock
Smart deadbolts let you grant temporary codes, lock from your phone, and see who's come and gone. We install Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, and August units — including setting up the keypad codes, connecting to your home network, and making sure the mechanical key override works as a reliable backup.
Why repair or rekey instead of replace
A lock change gives you something a rekey can't: new, stronger hardware. If your existing locks are worn, builder-grade, or you want to upgrade to high-security or smart locks, replacement is the right call. If the hardware is fine and you just need to control who has keys, rekeying costs less and does the same job. We'll tell you which makes sense for each door — no upselling. Pricing starts at $69 for the service call, and we carry the hardware in the van so most jobs finish in one visit.
