About the service
Professional Safe Combination Change in Los Angeles
Most calls we get for this in Los Angeles start the same way: somebody else knows the number who shouldn't. A bookkeeper moved on, a manager quit, or you picked up a used safe off a marketplace and have no idea who had it before you. The code worked fine yesterday. The problem is who else it works for. We change the combination so the old number stops opening it, whether the safe sits in a back office near Little Tokyo or a bedroom closet over in Boyle Heights.
The work depends on what you've got. A three-wheel mechanical dial gets new wheel settings on the lock body. A digital keypad gets a fresh user code, sometimes a new master too. We handle both, plus the wall and floor safes people inherit when they buy older LA buildings.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Los Angeles
When we show up, the first thing we do is open the door and look at the lock back, not the front. The change happens from inside, so the safe has to be open and the bolt thrown back. If you still have the working combination, this is quick. If you bought it used and the number is gone, that's a different job first, opening it, and we'll tell you straight whether it's a dial-manipulation case or a drill-and-replace before we touch anything.
For a mechanical dial we use a change key on the lock's back cover and reset the wheels to the number you pick. Electronic locks get reprogrammed through the keypad. A straightforward change in a home off the 110 or a shop near the 101 usually runs under an hour. Traffic across LA is the real variable, not the lock, so call and we'll give you an honest window.

Common questions
FAQ
Can you change the combination on an old mechanical dial safe?
Yes. A three-wheel dial gets reset with a change key on the back of the lock, and we set the wheels to whatever number you want. We do this on a lot of older safes in LA buildings, including wall and floor units people inherit when they buy a place. The safe has to be open first.
Can you reset an electronic safe with a keypad?
Yes. We clear the old user code through the keypad and program the new one. If a previous owner, a manager, or former staff might have had the master code too, we reset that as well so no leftover number opens it. Bring the manual if you have it, but we usually don't need it.
Do you need the old combination to change it?
If you have it, the job is faster, the safe opens and we go straight to the reset. If you bought it used and the number's gone, we open it first. That's a separate step, and we'll tell you up front whether it's a manipulation job or a drill-and-replace before we start, with the price for each.
How long does a safe combination change take in Los Angeles?
Once the safe is open, a typical dial or keypad change is under an hour. Opening a safe with no known code adds time and depends on the lock. The bigger wildcard is getting to you across LA traffic, so call (818) 398-9391 and we'll give you a real arrival window.
