Deadbolt Installation & Upgrades

Deadbolts provide superior resistance against forced entry compared to standard spring-latch locks. Many older Los Angeles homes rely on basic locksets that offer minimal protection. We recommend and install Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts—the highest security ratings—for front doors, back doors, and any entry point that needs extra protection. Double-cylinder deadbolts are ideal for doors with glass panels, preventing intruders from breaking the glass and reaching inside to turn the lock.

Lock Repair Services

When your locks start sticking, jamming, or become difficult to operate, prompt repair can prevent a full lockout. Code Locksmith repairs all types of residential locks including doorknob locks, deadbolts, and keypad locks. Common issues we resolve include frozen cylinders, worn tumblers, misaligned strike plates, and broken key extraction. In many cases, a simple repair or lubrication restores full functionality without the expense of replacement. We provide honest assessments—if a lock is beyond repair, we'll recommend replacement options.

Master Key Systems for Residential Properties

Owners of multi-unit properties, guest houses, or homes with separate living spaces benefit from master key systems. A master key system allows you to have one key that opens every lock in your property while individual keys only open their specific locks. This is ideal for landlords, homeowners with rental units, or families who want controlled access to different areas. Code Locksmith designs and implements master key systems for residential properties throughout Los Angeles, creating a secure and convenient key hierarchy tailored to your needs.

Home Security Assessment

Wondering if your home is as secure as it could be? Our complimentary security assessment identifies vulnerabilities in your current lock setup. We evaluate entry points, door frame strength, lock grade, and recommend improvements based on your specific situation. Whether you've recently moved, experienced a break-in, or simply want peace of mind, our assessment provides actionable recommendations. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that a few targeted upgrades can significantly enhance their home's security.

Residential Locksmith Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our home locksmith services in Los Angeles. Call (213) 449-7886 for immediate assistance.

Residential lockout service in Los Angeles typically ranges from $65 to $125 depending on the time of day and complexity of entry. Code Locksmith provides upfront pricing before we begin—no hidden fees. We use non-destructive methods whenever possible, which helps keep costs lower. Call us at (213) 449-7886 for an immediate quote.

Rekeying is typically the best choice when moving—it's more affordable ($19-$35 per lock) and achieves the same goal: ensuring previous occupants' keys no longer work. Replace locks only if they're old, damaged, or you want to upgrade to higher security. Our technicians can assess your locks and recommend the best option.

Yes, Code Locksmith offers same-day lock installation throughout Los Angeles. We keep popular lock brands in stock in our mobile vans, so we can often complete installations during the same service call. For specialty or custom orders, we can schedule an appointment within 24-48 hours. Call (213) 449-7886 to book.

We recommend Grade 1 deadbolts for maximum security—they withstand more force and picking attempts. Single-cylinder deadbolts (key outside, thumb turn inside) work for most doors. If your door has glass panels within 40 inches of the lock, a double-cylinder deadbolt prevents intruders from breaking the glass and reaching the thumb turn.

Yes, we install smart locks from Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, and other leading brands. Many smart locks are designed to fit standard door preps, making installation straightforward. We handle the physical installation plus app setup, so you can lock and unlock your door from your phone. Ask about our smart lock options when you call.
