Altadena Locksmith for Homes, Cars and Businesses

How it works

1. Call 626-537-2128 or send the form. Tell the dispatcher what's locked, where you are, and the type of lock or vehicle.
2. Get an estimate. Prices start from the published price list: a $29 service call fee plus labor and parts.
3. A local contractor is dispatched. Jobs are referred to independent locksmith contractors, as the Terms explain.
4. Confirm the quote, then the work starts. You pay the contractor and get an invoice with any warranty.

Choosing locks that fit Altadena homes

From Craftsman bungalows near Christmas Tree Lane to new builds in the foothills, exterior doors deserve solid hardware. Locks are often graded under the ANSI/BHMA standard: Grade 1 is the most robust, Grade 2 suits most homes, and Grade 3 is entry level. A Grade 1 or 2 deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate is a sensible baseline for front, back and garage-entry doors. Electronic and keypad locks are an option if you'd rather manage codes than keys.

Moving in? Rekeying makes every old key useless, usually at lower cost than new locks. Ask about a security consultation when you call.
