About the service
Professional House Lockout in North Hollywood
You carried the trash out, the door clicked behind you, and now you're on the porch of a North Hollywood house with the deadbolt thrown and no key. Or the house key finally snapped off after weeks of sticking. It happens across NoHo — the courtyard apartments off Lankershim, the old Spanish bungalows on the side streets.
Locksmith HQ 24/7 sends someone who does home lockouts for a living, not a handyman guessing at your hardware. On a Valley afternoon when the porch is already baking, that wait matters. We open the door where we can, give you the honest pick-versus-drill call, and rekey on the spot if you'd rather retire that old key. Call (818) 398-9391.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in North Hollywood
When the tech pulls up, the first move is reading the door, not reaching for the drill. Most NoHo entry sets — Kwikset and Schlage knobs, builder-grade deadbolts on the apartments — pick or bypass open in a few minutes with no marks. A key snapped in the cylinder gets extracted; a jammed deadbolt usually frees once we see whether it's the lock or a swollen door.
Once you're inside we ask for proof you live there — a license, a lease, a piece of mail — standard practice, nothing personal. A van already near Studio City or Toluca Lake is usually 20 to 35 minutes out, depending on the 101 and 170. If the lock's chewed up or you just want the lost keys dead, we can rekey or swap it before we pack up.

I called Locksmith HQ after locking myself out of my condo in Sherman Oaks on a Sunday morning. I expected a long wait or weekend surcharge, but they showed up in about 25 minutes and charged exactly what they quoted over the phone.
Thank you! I lost the key to my house, and the spare one was only in the house. He arrived super fast and opened my door. Save contact for an emergency to save your nerve cells later!

FAQ
Do you have to drill my lock to get me back in?
Almost never. On the standard Kwikset and Schlage hardware found on most North Hollywood homes and apartments, picking or bypassing gets us in with no marks on the door. Drilling only comes up when a lock is a worn-out antique or a high-security cylinder that won't cooperate, and we'll tell you and price the replacement before the drill ever touches it.
Will you need proof I actually live here?
Yes, once the door is open. A driver's license with the address, a utility bill, a lease, or mail with your name all work. It's how a real locksmith protects the people whose homes they open — nobody gets into a NoHo apartment or house just by pointing at the door and saying it's theirs.
Can you rekey the lock once I'm back inside?
That's a common one, especially if the keys disappeared somewhere between the Metro station and home and you don't know who has them. We can rekey the existing cylinder right there so the old keys stop working, or match a few doors to one new key while the tech is already on site.
What if my door has a smart lock or keypad?
Plenty of North Hollywood rentals and remodels run Schlage or Yale keypads now. If the battery just died, we can often get power to it and back you in; if the electronics are gone, most still have a physical key override or a mechanical way in. Have any codes or app access handy and it goes faster.
