Locked Out? Let’s Talk About How to Stay Secure (Without Losing Your Cool)
We’ve all been there—frantically patting pockets for keys that aren’t there, staring at a locked door like it’s personally betraying us. Whether you’re in Encino or Van Nuys, lockouts and security headaches don’t care about your schedule. That’s why we’re here to chat about how ALL OVER Locksmith keeps Los Angeles homes and businesses secure, functional, and way less stressful. Spoiler: It’s not just about keys anymore.
Why Bother With Modern Locks? Let’s Get Real
Let’s kick things off with a truth bomb: if your locks haven’t been updated since the ’90s, you’re basically rolling out a welcome mat for trouble. (No judgment—we’ve seen it all.) Modern security isn’t just about keeping people out; it’s about giving you control. Think smart locks, keyless entry, and high-security systems that laugh in the face of old-school lock-picking tricks.
At ALL OVER Locksmith, we’ve spent years upgrading locks across LA—from Reseda bungalows to Calabasas estates. Our philosophy? Security should work for you, not the other way around.
Residential Security: Your Home Isn’t a “Figure It Out Later” Project
Smart Locks: Because Fumbling for Keys is So Last Decade
Ever tried juggling groceries while digging for keys? Yeah, it’s a circus act nobody signed up for. Smart lock installation lets you ditch the keyring and unlock your door with a code, fingerprint, or even your phone. Bonus: You can check if you remembered to lock up while sipping coffee in Woodland Hills.
We’re partial to systems that blend convenience with Fort Knox-level security. FYI, not all smart locks are created equal—some are about as secure as a screen door. We’ll steer you toward options that balance tech-savvy with common sense.
High-Security Locks: For When “Good Enough” Isn’t Good Enough
If you’re rocking a basic deadbolt, let’s have a chat. High-security locks like MUL-T-LOCK use patented keys that can’t be copied at the local hardware store. Translation? No more worrying about that sketchy ex-tenant who “totally gave back all the keys.”
We’ve installed these bad boys everywhere from Thousand Oaks to Van Nuys, and trust us—they’re worth every penny. IMO, skimping on locks is like buying a sports car and leaving the keys in the ignition.
Home Lock Repair: Fix It Before It Breaks (Your Spirit)
That wobbly deadbolt? The sticky front door handle? Those aren’t quirks—they’re red flags. Home lock repair isn’t glamorous, but neither is getting locked out during a rainstorm. We’ll tighten, tweak, or replace worn-out parts so your locks work like they’re supposed to.
Commercial Security: Your Business Deserves Better Than a Dollar Store Lock
Exit Devices: Safety First, Lawsuits Never
If you run a business, exit devices installation isn’t optional—it’s code. These panic bars ensure folks can get out quickly in an emergency, and they keep your liability in check. We’ve seen too many Encino storefronts with flimsy exit hardware that’s one push away from disaster. Don’t be that guy.
Keyless Entry Systems: Who Needs Keys When You’ve Got Control?
Imagine managing employee access without chasing down former staff for keys. Keyless entry system installation lets you grant or revoke access with a few clicks. Lost an employee? Deactivate their code before they finish their exit interview.
Emergency Locksmith Services: Because Life Loves a Plot Twist
Locked out at 2 AM? Lock shattered after a break-in? ALL OVER Locksmith has your back with 24/7 emergency locksmith services across LA. We’ve raced to Reseda apartments, Calabasas offices, and everywhere in between—because emergencies don’t wait for business hours.

4 Questions We Get Asked Daily (And Our No-BS Answers)
-
“How much does a lock upgrade cost?”
It varies—basic deadbolts start around $150, while high-security systems can hit $400+. But compare that to the cost of a break-in (or a sleepless night), and it’s a steal. -
“Can smart locks get hacked?”
Cheap ones? Maybe. We install enterprise-grade systems with encryption. Your smart fridge is riskier, TBH. -
“How fast can you fix a broken lock?”
Most repairs take under an hour. Emergencies? We aim for 30 minutes or less. -
“Do I really need a commercial locksmith?”
If you’ve got a business, yes. Retail locks won’t cut it for liability or durability.
