Locksmith Liberty provides commercial locksmith service to offices, storefronts, restaurants and apartment buildings across Los Angeles, 24 hours a day: lockouts, rekeying, master key systems, panic bar repair and keypad or fob access control. Technicians dispatch fast from Mid-Wilshire and quote a firm price first.
Our commercial clients are concentrated along the Wilshire corridor from Koreatown to Miracle Mile, the retail strips on La Brea, Melrose and Fairfax, the medical offices around Cedars-Sinai in Beverly Grove, and the restaurants and karaoke bars of Koreatown (ZIP codes 90010, 90036, 90048, 90005 and 90006). We also cover Hollywood, West Hollywood, Culver City and Santa Monica.
The most common calls are a storefront lockout before opening, a manager who left with the only set of keys, an aluminum glass door whose Adams Rite deadlatch no longer catches, and a panic bar that has to be fixed before the fire inspector returns. A commercial lockout is priced by the lock type, and we quote it by phone before dispatch.
Property managers use us for tenant turnover rekeys, mailbox locks and building entry keys, and for the same scheduling reason homeowners do: the technician who answers your emergency call at 3 a.m. is the same crew that installs your hardware during business hours.
A master key system lets the owner carry one key while each employee, tenant or cleaner gets a key that opens only their doors. We design systems for single offices up to multi-floor buildings, and we document the key chart so you can add doors later without starting over.
For businesses that have lost track of who holds keys, we install restricted keyways from Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. Blanks are only available through the authorized locksmith, so a key cannot be copied at a hardware store or kiosk. Combined with a rekey of the existing doors, it resets control of the building in one visit.
The California Building Code requires panic hardware on exit doors serving assembly occupancies of 50 or more people, which covers most restaurants, bars, gyms and places of worship in Los Angeles, and exit doors must open with a single motion and no key or special knowledge. Fire inspectors write these up regularly.
We repair and replace Von Duprin, Detex and Dorma exit devices, install alarmed panic bars on back doors used by staff, add door closers and ADA compliant lever handles, and fit electric strikes where an exit also needs controlled entry. Installation of a new panic bar is quoted by the device and door before work begins. Our residential team handles the owner’s home under the same account if you want one invoice.
We also cut and program keys for fleet vehicles and company cars through our automotive locksmith service, and supply file cabinet, desk and mailbox locks in bulk for offices. Call (213) 314-1971 with your address and door count and we will quote the job while you are on the phone.
Access control replaces keys with codes, fobs or phone credentials, so a departing employee is removed with a click instead of a rekey. For a single door we install standalone keypad locks such as the Schlage CO series; for multi-door offices and apartment buildings we install networked systems where the manager sets schedules and pulls entry logs from a browser.
Typical Los Angeles installs include a keypad on a Koreatown restaurant’s back door, fob readers on a Miracle Mile office suite, and a video intercom with remote release for a Hollywood apartment lobby. Read our overview of electronic access control options or ask us to walk the site; the assessment is free and we serve Mid-Wilshire, Hollywood and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Fast. Our technicians dispatch from Mid-Wilshire, so Koreatown, Mid-Wilshire, Miracle Mile, Beverly Grove and Hollywood are our closest calls, with Culver City and Santa Monica close behind. We answer 24 hours a day, so a storefront lockout before opening gets the same response as a call at noon.
Commercial lockouts are priced by the job and quoted upfront, depending on whether the door has a standard lever, a high security cylinder or an aluminum storefront deadlatch. You receive a firm quote by phone before dispatch. If the lock is damaged and needs parts, we tell you the cost before touching it.
If the space is an assembly occupancy for 50 or more people, such as a restaurant, bar or gym, California requires panic hardware on the exit doors, and every exit must open with one motion and no key. Smaller retail shops usually need only a compliant lever and closer. We check the door count and occupancy and tell you what the inspector will look for.
Yes. We design master key systems for single suites up to multi-floor buildings, with a master for the owner, sub-masters for managers and individual change keys for tenants or staff. Using a restricted keyway such as Medeco or Mul-T-Lock keeps keys from being copied at a hardware store.
For businesses with regular turnover, access control pays for itself quickly: you delete one credential instead of paying for a rekey and cutting new keys every time. Standalone keypad locks suit one or two doors; networked systems with entry logs suit offices, clinics and apartment buildings. We install both.
