3. ID and authority verified. For lockouts and rekeys, we verify ownership or authority before opening anything. This protects you and us.

We don't dodge pricing questions — here's how we think about it.

Standard spare car key & key duplication calls in Marina del Rey 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 Westside. 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.

If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.

2. Spouse or family member needs their own key.

4. Used car only came with one key.
