Why Canoga Park customers choose One & Only Locksmith
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.
Same crew, start to finish. Whether it's a 5-minute lockout or a multi-day master key system in Canoga Park, the same technician owns your job from arrival to handoff. No "we'll send another guy out for that part."

Honest pricing for Canoga Park customers
We don't dodge pricing questions — here's how we think about it.
Standard restricted key & ic core systems calls in Canoga Park 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.
Our pricing is in line with other reputable, licensed locksmiths in San Fernando Valley. If a quote sounds dramatically lower than ours, it's almost always going to climb dramatically once a technician is on site.
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.
