North Hollywood packs a lot into a few square miles: stucco bungalows from the forties, courtyard apartments, glassy mid-rises by the Metro, body shops and prop houses along Sherman Way. A Kwikset knob on a 1948 front door and a Sargent mortise lock on a shop door need different tools. Say which you have.
From the first call to the last key
Ring or send the form
Call 818-746-9061 or fill in the callback form. Give the street and cross street, the kind of lock or car, and what went wrong.
Hear the price
The dispatcher quotes the job, or a tight range if the lock is unusual, before anyone is booked. Ask what parts would add.
Prove it is yours
Lockouts need ID showing the address, a lease, or the car registration. Annoying at midnight. Worth it every other night.
Check, then pay
Try every key in every lock before the locksmith leaves. All major credit cards are accepted.

Notes from the dispatch desk
Why rekey your locks when you move in
The keys you were handed are rarely the only ones. A rekey makes every stray copy useless, for less than the price of new locks.
Hiring a mobile locksmith: a short checklist
A mobile locksmith comes to the lock instead of the other way round. Handy, sometimes essential. Here is how to hire one well.
Why a locksmith belongs in your saved contacts
Nobody plans a lockout. Saving one checked number ahead of time turns a panicked search on a dark street into a single call.
