Locksmith in
Simi Valley

Every neighborhood from the freeway corridor down to the valley floor, including 93063 and 93065. Hillside tracts, valley floor streets, gated communities, and the Strathearn area. We also run calls into the Simi Valley Town Center and the civic area. If it has a Simi Valley address, we cover it.

Typical response runs 35 to 45 minutes from dispatch, depending on traffic and where the van is coming from. The truck is usually somewhere in Ventura County on a prior call, not sitting at a shop across town. When you call, you get a real ETA based on where the van actually is.

Yes. Tim's holds BSIS License LCO #7134, the state license required for commercial locksmith work in California. Fully insured, background checked technicians, BBB A+ rating. License numbers are posted on the truck and on every invoice, and we confirm them with HOA management or building owners before we arrive.

Visa, Mastercard, Amex, cash, and Zelle. Every call gets a flat rate quoted before any work starts, including the service fee. What we quote is what you pay. No surprise add-ons, no invented line items, no pressure upsells. If the job turns out simpler than expected, the price drops.

Standard hours are 7 AM to 9:30 PM, seven days a week. After-hours emergency dispatch handles urgent lockouts and break-in repairs outside those windows. Call the main line either way and you'll reach a technician or a dispatcher, not a call center in another state. Emergency rates apply after 9:30 PM.

Yes, every time. You don't know who has copies: previous owners, their kids, cleaners, contractors, the neighbor watching the plants. Rekeying is faster and cheaper than replacing every lock, and it gives you a clean set of keys on day one. Most resale homes need four to six exterior cylinders rekeyed, finished in about 45 minutes of on-site work.

Yes. Break-in calls get priority dispatch because the house isn't secure until we're done. We rekey or replace damaged cylinders, add a heavy strike plate and 3-inch mounting screws, check the jamb for splitting, and leave you with every exterior door working again. Most break-in repairs are finished the same day we get the call.

Yes. Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo, Level, and August are the common installs. We handle door prep, strike alignment, Wi-Fi setup on-site, and pairing with the customer's phone before leaving. If the existing door needs a new bore hole or latch cutout, the tools are in the truck and the work gets done in one visit.

Expect 35 to 45 minutes from dispatch on most lost-key calls. If the missing key is truly gone, rekeying is the right call, and we can do that on the spot. If it's only misplaced, sometimes picking the door open is cheaper than rekeying. We'll tell you which makes sense when we arrive.

No, you need a rekey, which is faster and cheaper than replacing hardware. Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration so the old key no longer works, while keeping your existing locks, handles, and deadbolts in place. About 20 to 30 minutes per door. Same answer for divorces, tenant turnovers, and lost-key situations.
