Locksmith Liberty answers emergency lockout calls 24 hours a day across Los Angeles, with technicians dispatching fast from Mid-Wilshire to all of central LA. We open homes, cars and businesses without damage, change locks after break-ins and extract broken keys. A flat price is quoted by phone before dispatch.
The emergency calls we see most in Los Angeles: an apartment door in Koreatown that locked behind someone taking out the trash, a car with the keys inside at a Hollywood Boulevard parking structure, a Miracle Mile storefront that will not open at 7 a.m., a broken key stuck in a Hancock Park front door, and a break-in in Beverly Grove where the tenant needs the locks changed before sleeping in the house.
We handle all of these with one dispatcher and one crew. Call (213) 314-1971, give the address and describe the door or vehicle, and you get a flat price and an arrival window. Lockouts are priced by the job; lock changes are quoted per door. There is no charge if you cancel during that first call.
Once the technician arrives, you show photo ID or proof of residence or ownership, the door is opened with non-destructive tools, and any follow-up work such as rekeying is done on the same visit. Details on home services are on our residential locksmith page; vehicles are covered under automotive locksmith.
Nights, weekends and holidays are handled by the same licensed technicians who work our daytime schedule, not a subcontracted call center. You speak to a dispatcher who knows Los Angeles streets and can give a real arrival estimate for your neighborhood.
Each van carries lockout tools, a key machine, transponder programming equipment, residential and commercial cylinders, Grade 1 deadbolts and common storefront parts. That means an emergency lockout can turn into a rekey or lock change on the spot without a second trip. Vans dispatch fast to central Los Angeles, Culver City and Santa Monica at any hour.
Houses, apartments, condos, cars, trucks, offices and storefronts. Non-destructive entry in nearly every case, so your lock and door are left exactly as they were.
House keys are cut from the lock itself. Car keys, including transponder keys and smart fobs, are cut from the VIN and programmed at the curb in one visit.
After a burglary, a lost key ring, an eviction or a roommate moving out, we rekey or replace every exterior lock the same night so no outstanding key works. Landlords receive new keys and a receipt for their records.
Broken keys are extracted without damaging the cylinder, and jammed or seized locks are repaired or replaced on site. If a burglar damaged the door frame or strike, we reinforce it so the new lock actually holds. Read more about when to call an emergency locksmith.
After a break-in, file the LAPD report first (online reports are accepted for burglaries with no suspect present), then call us. We replace or rekey the compromised locks, install a Grade 1 deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate, secure sliding doors and windows that were used as entry points, and board up a broken pane if needed until glass is replaced. Everything is documented for your insurance claim.
Businesses get the same-night service for storefront doors, back doors and panic hardware; see our commercial locksmith services. We cover Mid-Wilshire, Koreatown, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Grove, Miracle Mile, Culver City and Santa Monica 24 hours a day.
Fast. Our vans dispatch from Mid-Wilshire, so Mid-Wilshire, Koreatown, Hollywood, Beverly Grove and Miracle Mile are our closest calls, with Culver City and Santa Monica close behind. The dispatcher gives you a specific arrival window when you call, 24 hours a day.
You are quoted one flat price by phone before dispatch, and that price is what you pay on site. Lockouts are priced by the job and quoted upfront. There is no charge if you cancel during the initial call, and the technician explains any additional work such as a rekey before doing it.
No. We use picking, bypass and decoding tools for doors and long-reach and wedge tools for vehicles, so the lock, frame, paint and weather seals are untouched in nearly every case. Drilling is a last resort, only with your permission, and only when a high security lock has failed internally.
A photo ID with the address, or a lease, utility bill or mail in your name for a home; registration or an insurance card plus photo ID for a vehicle. If your documents are locked inside, we open the door and verify immediately afterwards. This is standard practice for licensed California locksmiths.
Yes. Our vans carry residential and commercial cylinders and Grade 1 deadbolts, so compromised locks are rekeyed or replaced on the first visit, usually within an hour of arrival. We also reinforce damaged strike plates and secure sliding doors or windows used as the entry point, and document the work for your insurance claim.
