Locksmith in
Ojai

We cover the full 93023 zip and the 93024 PO box footprint, which means the City of Ojai proper plus Mira Monte, Oak View, and the surrounding unincorporated communities. Downtown, East End, and Rancho Matilija all sit inside our primary run. Call or text (805) 765-3717 and we will give a straight ETA based on where the closest truck is staged.

Typical response runs 20 to 35 minutes when a truck is already in the valley. We stage vehicles along Highway 33 and the 150 corridor through the day, which keeps the window tight. Scheduled jobs get booked to an appointment time. Emergency lockouts go to the next available tech.

Yes. BSIS License LCO #7134, carried through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. We hold commercial liability insurance through State Farm, carry a BBB A+ rating, and every tech is background checked. License numbers are verifiable on the BSIS public lookup if you want to confirm before we arrive.

Visa, Mastercard, Amex, cash, and Zelle. Every job gets a flat-rate quote before a single tool comes out of the truck. No hidden fees, no surprise line items at the end, no trip charge added after the fact. If the scope changes on site, we stop and requote before continuing.

Standard hours run 7 AM to 9:30 PM, seven days a week. Outside those hours, we operate an emergency dispatch line for urgent lockouts and break-in response. Call the main number and if the line rolls to dispatch, leave the address and the situation. A tech gets routed back within minutes.

Yes, and we recommend it before the first night in the home. Previous owners hand over the keys they remember and forget the copies they gave a gardener, a cleaner, a neighbor, an ex-contractor. Rekeying takes the existing locks and resets the pins so old keys stop working. Faster and cheaper than new hardware, and it leaves your doors looking original.

Yes. Break-in response is a same-day priority, usually inside the 20-to-35-minute window for valley addresses. We document the damaged hardware for your insurance report, replace strike plates and deadbolts with Grade 1 equivalents or better, and reinforce jambs where the frame got kicked. If windows were involved, we can refer a glass company while we finish the door work.

Yes. We install Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, August, and Kwikset Halo on standard doors around the valley. Best fit depends on the door prep, your Wi-Fi signal at the entry, and whether you want a keypad, an app, or both. We walk through the options on site and never push a smart lock onto a door where a traditional deadbolt is the smarter move.

Call us. If you are stuck on the sidewalk near the Arcade with no way into the house, we can meet you at the property, verify ownership, and get you inside without damaging the door. Response typically lands in the 20-to-35-minute window. If the key was lost in a public spot, rekeying the affected locks after entry is the smart follow-up, and we handle both in one visit.

Rekey, not replace. Rekeying the existing deadbolt and knob resets the pins so the old key stops working, which is faster and less expensive than swapping hardware. We can do a whole apartment or house in one visit and leave you with a fresh set of matched keys. Same logic applies after a nanny, contractor, or ex-partner leaves the picture.
