Simi Valley Locksmith for Trucks, Cars and Houses
Simi Valley drives a lot of pickups and work trucks, and losing the only key to one can stop a whole workday. We cut and program most keys right where the vehicle is parked.
Working in Simi Valley
Simi Valley is a long valley of its own, over the Santa Susana Pass from Chatsworth, with the 118 running straight through it. Los Angeles Avenue and Cochran Street carry most of the shopping, and the Simi Valley Town Center sits near the freeway on the east side. Neighborhoods spread out in every direction: Wood Ranch and Big Sky to the south, Tapo Canyon to the north, and plenty of streets of single-family homes in between. There is an industrial strip on the west side with contractors, yards and workshops. Driveways here tend to have a work truck or a trailer in them.
The locks we meet here
On the vehicle side, we see a lot of pickups and work trucks with one worn key left, and keys for older models that are getting hard to find. A spare made while you still have a working key is far easier than starting from nothing. On the house side, the door from the garage into the house gets used more than the front door in many Simi homes, and its lock wears out first. We replace worn locks, rekey the rest to match, and add a deadbolt where there is only a knob. Contractors' shops on the west side often need sturdier commercial hardware.
How fast we get there
Simi Valley is about 20 miles from Van Nuys over the 118, which works out to 35–60 minutes. Text (657) 478-8248 with your ZIP. For a car or truck, add the year, make, model and VIN. For a house, a photo of the lock. You get a price and an ETA before we drive over the pass.
What people in Simi Valley call us for
Common questions
I lost the only key to my pickup. Can you make one without the original?
For most makes, yes. We cut a new key from the vehicle information and program it on site, so there is no tow to a dealer. Text the year, make, model and VIN, and we tell you before we come whether your truck is one we can do.
Will you really come out to Simi in the middle of the night?
Yes, we work 24/7 including holidays. At night the 118 is usually clear, so we often arrive closer to the short end of the estimate. You still get a price and an arrival time by text before we start driving.
The lock on the door from my garage barely works. Replace it or rekey it?
If it sticks or the knob is loose, replace it, because that door gets used several times a day. If it just needs a new key, rekey it. Either way we can match it to the front door so one key works for both.
