We are a short drive away in Reseda, so Van Nuys is home ground for our technicians. When you call, we talk through the door or vehicle you are dealing with, confirm the price, and give you a realistic arrival time based on where the technician is at that moment.
Where we work in Van Nuys
We cover Van Nuys from the Van Nuys Airport side down to the Civic Center, including the blocks around Victory Boulevard, Vanowen Street, Sherman Way, Oxnard Street and Kester Avenue. That takes in ZIP codes 91401, 91405, 91406 and 91411, and the streets bordering Valley Glen and Lake Balboa.
Typical jobs in Van Nuys
Apartment lockouts
Many Van Nuys renters live in multi-unit buildings with older knob locks and sliding patio doors. We open the unit without damaging the door and can rekey it if a key went missing.
Car lockouts on busy streets
Keys locked inside a car parked on Van Nuys Boulevard or in a shopping center lot are a common call. We come to the vehicle and work on most makes and models.
Shop and warehouse locks
Small businesses near the airport and along Raymer and Valjean often need a rekey after an employee leaves, or a worn storefront cylinder replaced.
Lock changes after a move
New owners in the quieter residential pockets near Kester and Burbank Boulevard often ask us to change or rekey every exterior lock on day one.
Whatever the job, you hear the price on the phone first, and our technicians carry the common lock brands on the van so most Van Nuys jobs are finished in one visit.
Van Nuys has a lot of rentals, so we often work alongside property managers who need a unit secured the same day a tenant leaves. Homeowners near Valley Glen ask us to look at back doors and side gates that face alleys, because those entrances are less visible from the street. Auto repair and body shops along Van Nuys Boulevard and Oxnard Street sometimes need padlocks and office doors rekeyed when the team changes. Whatever the building, we check that the door closes and latches properly before we finish, since a well-aligned door is just as important to security as the lock itself.

Frequently asked questions
Do you come to apartments in Van Nuys?
Yes. We regularly work in Van Nuys apartment buildings. Have your ID ready so the technician can confirm you live at the unit before opening it.
Can you rekey a Van Nuys rental between tenants?
Yes. Landlords and property managers call us to rekey units so the previous tenant's keys stop working. We can key several units to match if you want one key for common doors.
How do I know what it will cost?
Call and describe the lock or vehicle. We confirm the price on the phone before a technician drives out to Van Nuys.
