Valencia, Newhall or Canyon Country?

When you call about a locksmith in Santa Clarita, give the address and the local name you use for it. Add a unit, parking area or entrance detail if the lock or car isn't at the obvious front door.

Stevenson Ranch and Castaic are separate communities in the wider valley, so don't rely on Santa Clarita alone to describe an address there. Availability needs to be checked for the location and the particular job.

At home, separate access from wear

If a key has gone missing or the home has changed hands, you may want the old keys to stop working. Rekeying can do that for suitable locks without automatically changing the handles.

A bolt that catches, a loose handle or a door that needs lifting is another concern. Say what has become difficult and which entrance it affects. Existing hardware may need repair or replacement as well as a change of key access.

A working spare changes the car key job

Have the make, model and year ready. Say whether a key still starts the engine, whether only the remote has failed or whether all keys are gone. Those details matter more than simply asking for a new fob.

If the car belongs to a business or rental company, check who can approve the work. For any vehicle, ownership or permission to gain access will need to be established.

The garage has a page of its own

A stuck main garage door needs a different assessment from the lock on the door into the house. We have a dedicated Santa Clarita garage door repair page so the door, opener and repair quote can be discussed in more detail.

For home, car, business or garage inquiries, call 818-338-5940. Explain what happened and what still works. Check availability, the visit arrangements and how the work will be priced before agreeing to a job.

A little more clarity.

Is this a Santa Clarita branch?

No. This page provides local information and does not represent a branch or walk-in shop. Use the phone number on this site to check availability for the address.

What if the lock belongs to a shared building?

Ask the owner or manager who is responsible for that entrance. Permission to use a key doesn't necessarily include permission to change a shared lock.
