| High-security locks | $149–$429 | |
|---|---|---|

Providing emergency service to a population of 1,106,665 means staying on the move across Los Angeles County. The coverage spans 313 zip codes. We drive directly to neighborhoods in Los Angeles like Koreatown, Mid City, and Hollywood.
Nights, weekends and holidays are answered on the same number as a Tuesday afternoon. The overnight call is taken by whichever independent locksmith is already out on the road, so a night job is not slower because an office is closed. It is slower or faster depending on where that one locksmith happens to be when the phone rings. The calls change shape by the hour. We handle a car lockout in a parking lot at the end of a shift, a house lockout after somebody gets home late, and a prompt lock change first thing in the morning after a night that went wrong.
What the dispatcher needs at 3am is the same as at noon. Just tell us where you are, and what is locked. One number covers all of it for Los Angeles, CA.
Searching for a locksmith near me usually means one thing: you need help where you are standing right now. People do not want to tow a car or unbolt a door to bring it to a shop. They want a mobile unit to arrive at their current location promptly. The main question is simply how close the nearest available technician is to take the job.
Mobile service covers Los Angeles as well as surrounding communities within reach. Coverage extends 1 mile north to Koreatown, 1 mile southeast to University Park, 2 miles southwest to Jefferson, and 3 miles west to Mid City. Serviced areas also include Vermont Harbor 3 miles south, East Hollywood 4 miles north, La Brea 4 miles northwest, and Hollywood 4 miles northwest.
If you are locked out of your car, the door is opened right where the vehicle stands. There is no reason to arrange or pay for a tow. This applies if keys are sitting on the front seat or locked inside the trunk. If a key has snapped off in the exterior handle, key extraction from a door lock clears the cylinder so entry can be restored.
When you speak with dispatch, provide the vehicle year, make, and model. If a child or a pet is locked inside, or if the engine is actively running, state that in the very first sentence of your call so dispatch can prioritize accordingly.
Losing your only car key does not require towing the vehicle to a dealership or waiting days for an appointment. A mobile car key locksmith comes directly to the car to cut a replacement using the original key code assigned to the vehicle when it was manufactured.
Modern electronic keys and push-to-start vehicles are handled right on site. The technician can perform key fob programming directly at your vehicle. The specific year, make, and model dictate what cutting and programming options are required for the job.
Getting locked out of your house can happen in seconds, whether you are in a single-family home or an apartment building where the outer buzzer panel prevents entry. In nearly every situation, the goal is to open the entry door without damaging or replacing the existing lock hardware.
If a child or pet is locked inside and facing immediate danger, call 911 immediately. Emergency responders have the authority and equipment to force entry right away, whereas a locksmith cannot bypass safety protocols in an active emergency.
Understanding the difference between a rekey and a lock change helps you choose the right service. A rekey leaves the original lock hardware on the door but alters the internal pins so old keys no longer work. A lock change completely replaces the physical handle, deadbolt, or lock assembly with new hardware.
A rekey is ideal after moving into a new residence or when a key is misplaced. A full lock change makes sense after a break-in or when hardware is outdated. An entire property, including every exterior door cylinder in Los Angeles, can be serviced during a single visit. For pricing details, refer to the ranges above, with final quotes provided by the technician who takes the job before work starts.
A business lockout presents unique challenges, often happening right before morning opening or right after evening closing. Bringing operations to a halt costs time and revenue. Mobile service helps managers and owners regain entry to storefronts, corporate offices, and multi-suite commercial buildings without unnecessary delay.
A business lock change is frequently necessary after an employee turnover, a security compromise, or a break-in attempt. To simplify key control across larger properties, technicians can set up master key systems or install restricted keyways that prevent unauthorized duplication.
Standing outside your car or house with the keys locked inside requires immediate action rather than endless searching. When you place a call, a representative takes your exact location and connects you with an independent locksmith who drives directly to where you are stranded. You do not have to tow your car to a dealership or leave your front entry unsecured while waiting for a shop to open. The locksmith handles everything on site, bringing the necessary tools and blank keys to complete the job in a single visit. Independent locksmiths set their own rates, charging a fixed $29 service fee for travel alongside a lockout service range of $48–$229.
Looking for a locksmith in Vermont Harbor, East Hollywood or La Brea? It is the same number as Los Angeles, and the same 4 counties — Los Angeles County, Ventura County and San Bernardino County included. Whichever town you are in, the number on this page reaches a local locksmith near you.
The technician we dispatch drives straight to your location. (323) 487-7412
Yes. A commercial locksmith covers storefronts, offices and multi-suite buildings before opening and after closing, which is when a business lockout actually happens — anywhere in and around Los Angeles, including Vermont Harbor, East Hollywood, La Brea, Dorset Village and more.
Yes, you need to show ID and something connecting you to the vehicle. If your registration is locked inside the car, that is normal and expected — you show it once the door is open.
No. Car key replacement happens where the car is parked, so there is no tow and no dealership appointment. It is the difference between one visit where the car is parked and leaving it somewhere for days.
Yes, with ID showing you live there — a lease, or official mail with your name and the address on it. You do not need the landlord present to be let into your own home.
Call a car locksmith rather than a tow truck — a car lockout is opened where the car stands, and nothing gets towed. The number on this page reaches a 24hr locksmith covering Vermont Harbor, East Hollywood, La Brea, Dorset Village and more. Say where the car is standing and the year, make and model.
The line is answered at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call and say where the car is standing and what it is: a night call is taken differently from a midday one, and you are told what can be sent before anything is.
Yes — transponder chips, proximity keys and push-to-start fobs are programmed at the vehicle on most makes and models. A key fob that has lost its pairing usually needs programming rather than replacing, and one you have already bought can often be programmed if it is compatible.
Rekey when the hardware is fine and you simply want every old key to stop working — the cylinder is re-pinned and the locks stay on the door. A lock change swaps the hardware itself, which is the answer when a lock is worn, broken, or you want something different on the door.

Since 2013
My tech was awesome. Loved the service.
Very prompt response and once arriving, had us in very quickly. Others in the past have struggled.
Great service, arrived in timely and very professional, helpful. Will always use this service.
Tech arrived in decent time. The price was fairly reasonable.
Responsive, great service.
This was the fastest service I ever had with a locksmith. Before I could hang up, 2 people had called and one of them was already there. It took only a few minutes to complete the job. I was very satisfied.
After I called for assistance getting new fobs made for my truck onsite, Gabriel (the tech from ASAP Locksmith) called me back and was there in about 15 minutes. He was very professional and prompt. Gabriel had everything taken care of within 10 minutes. From the initial call to completion was less than an hour. That is what I call service. I would use this company again and recommend asking for Gabriel if he is available.
They came quickly, reasonable price. Very helpful. Tried to help us figure out how to get car started once they got us in. (Key fob got wet.) Would recommend!
