Los Feliz Lock & Key Service

Took five seconds and was cheap as can be. Lovely place. Would recommend to anyone needing a key copied!

These guys are fast with whatever you need and they are also super funny and friendly!

First visit, rekeyed my lock while I waited. Good price. Pro’s, never seen so many different keys before, locks for every thing, bikes, cabinets, you name it. Friendly, pleasant and helpful, told me same owner for some 50 years. Con’s, none.

Really like the former owners and staff! Had terrible service today and the keys did not work and had to be returned. They made bogus excuses why they didn’t work. These are ordinary quickset locks nothing fancy. Even Home Depot can make a key better than they have.

Called them a received same day service. Very friendly and knowledgeable locksmith showed up and he fixed our door problem in 30 minutes. We were charged a flat service fee of 78.50. I thought it was fair. Definitely use them again.

Long story short I have a 2004 Infiniti g35 coupe and the keys in my opinion are outdated. I ordered a switch blade style key fob. When it arrived I went to homedepot to have it cut, a rude 70 year old women laughed at me when I asked her if she could cut the key and said my request was ridiculous. So I went on Unilocal and looked for a locksmith with the best reviews and found one very close to my location. The owner was very nice, cut the key and even let me test it. The key works perfect and I couldn’t be happier. Defiently a go to for any key. I will definitely be back if I ever need a key cut.

I have gotten so many keys made here in the last couple years. It’s fast, inexpensive and they have a decent assortment of key designs. However, call before you go in, they have weird hours and close early/​open late pretty often.

Just had 2 keys made here. They were fast and well priced; friendly too.
Not much more to add here except thanks for the good service!

The friendliest guys. Fast, efficient, good price. You don’t even have time to walk to Skylight in the time it takes them to help you, but if you decide to, they’ll have your stuff waiting safely when you get back. Real neighborhood fellas. Ten dollar minimum credit card purchase, but you should have two bucks in your pocket, come on. For these guys you should.

These guys are so nice and make you feel as if they really want your business. I not only got keys made but a battery for my cars key fob.

Can’t say enough good things about this shop and the service. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

Super sweet and caring owners. One of the guys lent me a screwdriver and just told me bring it back when I had time. You don’t come by that kind of small town kindness in a large city like this.

Jim no longer works there but Steve is just as great! Steve not only does locks, but he also can adjust doors!
I called on the weekend. He was able to come to my building Monday after 6pm and he started working! I didn’t expect that, but I sure appreciate it! He completed several doors that evening. He had to come back once due to missing a part. Thank Goodness for Steve and this business!
I used them in the past and they have always been extremely helpful.
Btw, they also sell garage remote controls!

Needed to make a copy of my key. Went in and came out with a copy in less than two minutes, all for $ 2.
Not a bad deal.
On another note, they sell all kinds of locks and keys and accessories here too in case you need any of that (bike locks, locks for your luggage, hide-​a-​keys, key chain rings, etc).

I locked myself out of my apartment on a Saturday, they were there with my door open in 20 minutes. Thank you!

Very nice owner who found spindles for my 60 year old door knob, and took the time in his store to demonstrate how to re-​install the spindles and the knob. Then, when we ran into him again the same day, he very nicely said if I had any problems, please call a number which would ring his technician to further explain. Nice guy. Will give him 5 stars if I get to work with him more.

These guys are great. The people are quick and helpful… stop by they also fix antique locks and keys.

He came over to my place after I had locked myself out of my apartment at 10:30pm. He quoted me a price over the phone and stuck to that price even though my situation was way more involved than he thought. Really good experience. Can’t go wrong.

Thank goodness for Los Feliz Lock & Key. I made the brilliant mistake of locking both mine and my husband’s keys in our house when I went to pick him up at a bus stop after work. I didn’t realize what I’d done until we were back at our door. To make things worse, we were supposed to meet a house guest in time to go to dinner – he showed up minutes after we called Los Feliz Lock & Key.
We waited in my car – three humans and dog, thankfully locked out with us – for about twenty minutes total. We were all very hungry and ready to go to dinner. It was a huge relief when Jim arrived. (I’m assuming this was Jim – I got his name at the time, but this was over two months ago.)
It was an even bigger relief when he got out his tool kit and opened our door in about 90 seconds flat. It took longer for him to take our credit card information. He told us the base price right off and said it would cost more if he had to take heroic measures. He ended up charging us $ 125. That kind of hurt, but we didn’t have much of a choice. At least he got us in without damaging the lock – I’m sure that would’ve been a pain to replace.
Anyway, no one’s ever happy about giving money to a locksmith in this situation. It’s basically lighting money on fire because of your own damned stupidity. At least Los Feliz Lock & Key is pleasant and easy to deal with. I hope I never have to call them again, but it’s nice to know they’re around if I need them.

We just bought our first place, and we knew we would at least have to get the locks re-​keyed. Who knows who the previous owner handed out keys to, after all. But as we were locking up for the first time, the key broke off in the lock. Guess we need to call a locksmith sooner than we planned!
We called Los Feliz Lock & Key Service at the recommendation of our realtor, and I’m so happy we took her advice. Jim came out on a Saturday, 20 minutes after we called him, to check out our locks and fix the situation. Turns out, we had more than one situation. Our locks haven’t been changed since the 1920s and between age, shifting earth, and use, they were all in need of some serious TLC. He gave us a quote, took two hours to work, and then walked us through what he did, making it clear he doesn’t cut corners. He was completely professional, made sure not to scratch our hardwood floors, and cleaned up after he was done. It was a messy affair, especially having to realign deadbolts and such, but you’d never know after he was finished.
He made a bunch of new keys for us right then and there, and despite all the surprises he found along his way (the mechanics in our ancient door handle had completely come undone, and he fixed it!), his quote matched his price. While this wasn’t a cheap endeavor (we had to part with a couple hundred dollars), I feel so much better knowing all of our locks are as secure as possible.
If I’m ever locked out of my house or need to re-​key the locks, I wouldn’t hesitate to call Jim. He’s fast, trustworthy, and just right around the corner.
