About the service
Professional Commercial Lock Change in Los Angeles
Most calls we get for a commercial lock change in LA come down to one of two things: somebody left on bad terms and still has a key, or a door got pried overnight and the cylinder is shot. A storefront on the eastside near Boyle Heights has different hardware than a glass-front office in Little Tokyo, and we treat them that way. Aluminum storefront doors usually want a mortise cylinder; a hollow-metal back door near the loading area is often cylindrical. We sort that out on site, not over guesswork.
We change locks for retail, offices, warehouses, and shared-suite buildings across the central LA ZIPs, from 90001 down by South LA up through Lincoln Heights. If your door has a panic bar for fire egress, we keep it code-compliant. No drilling unless the lock is already destroyed.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Los Angeles
When we roll up, the first thing we do is read your door, not your lock. Steel frame or aluminum, single or double, whether there's a panic device, how the strike sits. That tells us whether you need a Grade 1 mortise body, a heavy cylindrical, or just fresh cylinders rekeyed to a single key so one set works every door. A lot of businesses think they need everything replaced and really just need it all rekeyed at once.
Timing depends on traffic – I-10, the 110, and the 101 all knot up downtown – but for central LA we're usually on site the same day, and for a one-door swap you're locked back up in well under an hour. We carry Grade 1 commercial hardware on the van, so most jobs finish in one visit. After hours and weekends are fine; plenty of shops have us do it after close so the morning opens normal.

What Customers Say
Google Reviews · Locksmith HQ 24/7 · 4.9★ (577)We had a keyless entry system fail at our office in Pasadena. Called Locksmith HQ expecting to schedule for the next day, but they sent someone out within two hours. Technician was knowledgeable, replaced the faulty keypad, and even tested it with our staff.
Denys did an awesome job. We hired him for an eviction lockout and he was professional, quick, and got the job done. He went above and beyond to help us open all doors, and change the locks. 10/10 service.
Very kind, answered all my texts fast and was on time. Highly recommend if anyone needs a key. He also explains everything in great detail.

FAQ
How fast can you get to my business?
For the central LA ZIPs we cover – 90001 through 90006 and up into Lincoln Heights – we're typically on site the same day, often within a couple of hours. The variable is freeway traffic on the 10, 110, and 101 around downtown, not the work itself; a single-door change is usually done in under an hour once we're there.
What's the difference between Grade 1 commercial and the residential locks I have now?
Grade 1 is the heaviest ANSI rating – built for high-traffic doors that get cycled hundreds of times a day, with stronger bolts and cylinders that resist drilling and bumping far better than the residential Grade 3 hardware on most homes. For a storefront or office that opens and closes constantly, residential locks wear out and pick easier. We carry Grade 1 on the van.
Can you change our locks after hours so we don't have to close?
Yes – a lot of LA shops have us come after close or on a weekend specifically so the front never goes dark during business hours. We schedule it around your last customer, do the swap or rekey overnight, and you open the next morning like nothing happened. The phone line for that is (818) 398-9391.
Someone left on bad terms – can you rekey every door at once instead of replacing them?
Usually, yes, and it's cheaper. If your existing locks are in good shape we rekey all the cylinders to a single new key in one visit, which kills any old key the former employee kept. We only replace hardware that's worn, damaged, or not up to the grade you actually need.
