So, You’re Wondering About Locksmith Warranties in LA? Let’s Unlock the Truth
Picture this: You’ve just moved into a swanky new apartment in Encino, and your landlord hands you keys that look like they’ve survived a medieval battle. You call a locksmith to upgrade your locks, but wait—do they even offer warranties? What if the shiny new hardware starts acting up next month? Let’s talk warranties, folks, because nobody wants to pay twice for peace of mind.
At ALL OVER Locksmith, we’ve been fielding these questions for years. Spoiler alert: Yes, warranties exist, but not all locksmiths are created equal. Let’s break it down—LA style.
Why Warranties Matter (Especially When Your Lock Decides to Ghost You)
Ever had a lock jam at 2 a.m. because your cat decided to “help” you test its durability? That’s where warranties swoop in like a superhero. Most reputable locksmiths in Los Angeles—including yours truly—offer warranties because, let’s face it, locks shouldn’t quit on you faster than a New Year’s resolution.
Here’s the deal:
- Coverage varies wildly. Some warranties cover parts only; others include labor.
- Duration matters. A 90-day warranty? Meh. A year? Now we’re talking.
- Fine print alert. Always ask: Does this cover rekeying, smart lock glitches, or just the physical hardware?
Pro tip: If a locksmith hesitates to explain their warranty, run. Fast.
What ALL OVER Locksmith Brings to the Table (Besides Killer Coffee)
We’re not here to brag, but when it comes to warranties, we’ve got your back like a trusty deadbolt. Whether you’re in Reseda or Woodland Hills, our warranties cover:
- High-security locks (like MUL-T-LOCK—seriously, these things are Fort Knox-level).
- Smart lock installation (because yelling “Alexa, open the door” shouldn’t end in tears).
- Exit devices installation (for businesses that need smooth exits, literally).
And yeah, we’ll say it: Our warranties last longer than that avocado you forgot in the fridge. One full year on most installations. Why? Because we test every lock like it’s guarding Beyoncé’s dressing room.
“But What If…?” Your Top Warranty Questions, Answered
Let’s tackle the FAQs we hear daily from Van Nuys to Thousand Oaks:
1. “Does a warranty cover emergencies, like a lockout?”
Depends! At ALL OVER Locksmith, our emergency locksmith services include a 90-day warranty on any parts replaced during a lockout. Labor? Covered too. Because panic shouldn’t cost extra.
2. “What about commercial spaces?”
Absolutely. Commercial locksmith jobs get the same love. If your Calabasas bakery’s keyless entry system starts acting like a moody teenager, we’ll fix it—no charge.
3. “Can I transfer the warranty if I move?”
Nope, but we’ll help you install new locks at your next spot. Consider it a breakup gift.

Side-eyes. Sorry, friend—warranties void faster than a gym membership if you go rogue. Leave it to the pros.
