Locksmith in Universal City, CA
Most people in Universal City meet a locksmith on one of their worst days, so we built our Oxnard-area service to be the calm part of it: a real local number, a price confirmed before work starts, and entry methods that protect your lock instead of destroying it. From house lockouts to lost car keys to a full rekey of a new home, Universal City is covered around the clock at (818) 452-2947.
West Coast locks in Universal City split their enemies — salt air near the water, dry dust inland — and both end in the cylinder eventually. Corrosion checks and dry-film lubrication are standard parts of our service here.
Because our trucks stock the blanks, cylinders and hardware that fail most in California, most Universal City jobs finish in one visit — including lost-all-key car work for most makes. And when a lock is worth saving rather than replacing, we will say so: honest assessment is cheaper than hardware, and it is how a local team earns the next call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a locksmith in Universal City cost?
You will know before we start. Lockouts are quoted as a service charge plus the opening fee on the phone; rekeys, lock changes and car keys are priced per item after we confirm the hardware or vehicle. The quote you approve is the price you pay — no additions at the door.
Can you make a car key for my vehicle in Universal City?
For most makes, yes — we cut and program transponder keys and smart fobs at the vehicle, including when every key is lost. Call (818) 452-2947 with your year, make and model and we will confirm on the spot; if yours is a dealer-restricted system, we will tell you honestly before dispatching.
Should I rekey the locks after moving into a home in Universal City?
Yes — it is the first security job in any new home, because you cannot know how many copies of the old key exist. Rekeying keeps your hardware and makes every old key useless, usually in under an hour for a whole house.
