Why local Calabasas experience matters
Local knowledge matters more in this trade than people realize.
Around Old Town Calabasas, we see a steady volume of residential lockouts and rekey calls, especially after home sales close.
Quick access to US-101 means our nearest van can usually clear the freeway and reach you fast — even at peak traffic times.
We dispatch across every Calabasas ZIP — 91302, 91372 — and our techs know the residential street grid as well as the commercial corridors.
Cross-border jobs into Hidden Hills, Woodland Hills, Agoura Hills are routine, so the same fast response applies if your address technically straddles a city line.
Many Calabasas customers manage rental units, ADUs, or multi-generational housing — master key systems, smart locks, and audit-friendly hardware all become very useful.
Why Calabasas customers choose One & Only Locksmith
Bonded and insured. Bonded & Insured. We can provide our certificate of insurance, W-9, and license info on request — useful for HOAs, property managers, insurance claims, and commercial procurement.
Mobile, fully-stocked vans. We don't hand you a quote and then "go get the parts." Our trucks carry deadbolts, strikes, smart locks, panic bars, transponder blanks, programmers, extractors, and more — first-visit completion on the vast majority of jobs.
Transparent pricing. You get a quote on the phone and a written quote on site before any work starts. We do not have a "minimum service charge" hidden in fine print, and we do not run the bait-and-switch game some pop-up locksmiths play.
Real reviews, real reputation. Over 1,286 verified reviews and a 4.9-star average. We've built our business one neighbor at a time and we don't gamble that on a single bad job.
Local knowledge of Calabasas. Older homes have older mortise locks. Newer high-rises have proprietary cylinders. Cluster mailboxes have specific USPS standards. We know what's typical for the San Fernando Valley and bring the right hardware on the first trip.
Same crew, start to finish. Whether it's a 5-minute lockout or a multi-day master key system in Calabasas, the same technician owns your job from arrival to handoff. No "we'll send another guy out for that part."
What to expect when you call us in Calabasas
Here's exactly what happens when you call us for service in Calabasas.
1. You call (888) 492-0666. A live dispatcher picks up. They confirm the address, the issue, and any specifics ("front door deadbolt, Schlage, brushed nickel"). You'll get a clear ETA and a price range.
2. The nearest van rolls. We dispatch the closest fully-stocked technician to your Calabasas location. You'll get a text or call when they're a few minutes out.
3. ID and authority verified. For lockouts and rekeys, we verify ownership or authority before opening anything. This protects you and us.
4. On-site assessment. Your tech inspects the lock, door, frame, hardware, and any related issues. We'll explain what we recommend and why.
5. Written, signed quote. Before any work begins, you get a clear written quote. If you don't want to proceed, you don't owe a dime.

7. Test and tour. We test the lock or system top to bottom, walk you through any new keys/codes/fobs, and answer questions.
8. Receipt and warranty. Itemized receipt by email, plus our workmanship warranty on every install.
9. 24/7 Emergency Lockout-specific testing. Optional rekey if a key is missing.
Honest pricing for Calabasas customers
Transparency is more useful than a fake "starting at" number.
Standard 24/7 emergency lockout calls in Calabasas are quoted by our dispatcher when you call. The number depends on a few real variables: the lock or system involved, time of day, distance from the nearest van, and any parts required. Once our technician is on site and has eyes on the job, you get a written quote — and you don't pay anything until you sign off.
Volume work — apartment turnovers, master keying, multi-door rekeys, and access control — is priced more aggressively per door because the setup is shared. Ask us for a multi-door quote.
Payment: Cash, Credit Card, Debit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. We email an itemized receipt the same day, useful for insurance claims, expense reports, or property management records.
