About the service
Professional House Lockout in Reseda
You took the trash to the curb, the door drifted shut, and the deadbolt caught behind you. Now you're on the porch of a Reseda house with no key. It happens most in the older postwar homes off Sherman Way, where hardware from the 1950s has gone stiff — a jammed deadbolt, a key snapped in the cylinder, or keys left on the counter.
Locksmith HQ 24/7 works this part of the central Valley every day, from Reseda out toward Winnetka, Northridge, Tarzana, and Lake Balboa. Call (818) 398-9391 and a locksmith answers — not a call center that ships the job three cities away. We look at what's actually on your door and get you back inside.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Reseda
At the door, the first job is finding the fastest way in that doesn't cost you a lock. Most Reseda homes run standard Kwikset or Schlage deadbolts, and those open by picking in a few minutes with no damage. Drilling is the last resort — saved for high-security cylinders or a lock already ruined by a broken key. If a key snapped off inside, we pull the piece first and check whether the cylinder still turns.
Because we run out of the Valley instead of crossing the 101 from downtown, a Reseda call usually puts a locksmith at your door inside the half hour, day or night. Once you're back in and the keys are truly lost, ask about a rekey on the spot — we reset the lock to a fresh key so old copies stop working.

Common questions
FAQ
Do you have to drill my lock to get me in?
Almost never. On the standard Kwikset and Schlage deadbolts common in Reseda homes, we pick or bump the lock open in a few minutes with no damage, and you keep using the same lock. Drilling is reserved for high-security cylinders built to resist picking, or a lock already jammed shut by a broken key. If drilling is genuinely the only way, we tell you before touching it and rekey or replace the cylinder afterward, so you're not left with a dead lock.
What proof do I need that I actually live there?
Just reasonable evidence the home is yours — a driver's license or ID with the address, mail or a bill in your name, or a lease. If your ID still shows an old address, a piece of mail to 91335, a neighbor who can vouch for you, or a spare key you keep inside all work fine. It protects you as much as us; no honest locksmith wants to open a Reseda door for the wrong person.
Can you rekey the lock after you let me in?
Yes, and it's the smart move if the keys are actually lost or stolen rather than just misplaced. Rekeying resets the pins inside your existing deadbolt so it works with a brand-new key and the old ones stop opening it. That's usually cheaper than buying new hardware, and we do it on the same visit. If you'd rather have every door in the house on one key, we can match them while we're there.
What if I've got a smart lock or keypad on the door?
We work those too. Plenty of Reseda front doors now run a smart deadbolt or keypad, often with a regular keyway as backup. If the battery died or the code stopped responding, we usually get in through the mechanical override or the keyed cylinder, then help you reset the code or replace the unit. If there's no backup keyway at all, entry may mean a mechanical bypass — we'll walk you through the options before doing anything.
