Locksmith Service in Granada Hills
Granada Hills homes tend to have more doors than people expect: front, garage, side gate, sliders, maybe a pool gate. We look after all of them in one visit, and you know the price before we start.
Working in Granada Hills
Granada Hills climbs from the flats along Devonshire and Chatsworth Street up toward the foothills and O'Melveny Park. Much of it is 1950s and 1960s ranch homes on generous lots, including the Knollwood area and the tracts around Balboa Boulevard, many with pools, wide side yards and long block walls. Higher up, homes get larger and streets curve, and some have gated driveways. It is a settled neighborhood where people stay a long time, which means locks that have been in place for decades and keys that were handed out to plenty of neighbors, sitters and contractors along the way.
The locks we meet here
The ranch house layout means several exterior doors and at least one big sliding glass door. Slider latches wear, and the door can sag on its track until the latch no longer catches; adding a secondary lock or replacing the latch fixes that. Side yard and pool gates often have padlocks or old gate latches that should close and lock on their own, especially where kids live. Many owners here ask about smart deadbolts, so family can come and go with a code and nobody needs a hidden key. If you have lost track of who holds a copy, rekeying everything to one new key is the clean start.
How fast we get there
Granada Hills is about seven miles north of us, so expect a tech in 25–45 minutes, a bit more for homes high up near the foothills. Text (657) 478-8248 with your ZIP and a photo of the lock or gate. Tell us how many doors you want done so we bring enough hardware.
What people in Granada Hills call us for
Common questions
Our sliding door does not latch anymore. Is it the lock or the door?
Often both. A heavy slider settles on worn rollers, and the latch stops meeting its catch. We check the alignment, replace the latch if it is worn, and can add a secondary lock at the top or bottom of the door. Text a photo of the latch and we can price it first.
Can you key the side gate padlock to the same key as the house?
In many cases, yes. We can supply a keyed padlock or gate lock that matches your house key, so you carry one key for the front door, the garage door and the gate. Send a photo of the gate and its latch so we know what fits.
We want a keypad deadbolt but our doors are old. Will one fit?
Most smart deadbolts fit a standard deadbolt hole, and many older Granada Hills doors have one already. If the door is thicker, thinner or drilled differently, we adjust it or suggest a model that fits. We install it, set your codes and show you how to change them.
