Why local Pomona experience matters
Pomona has its own personality, and our service approach reflects it.
Around Fairplex, we're often there for routine maintenance: smart-lock battery replacement, sticky deadbolts, and lost mailbox keys.
Quick access to I-10 and CA-57 and CA-60 means our nearest van can usually clear the freeway and reach you fast — even at peak traffic times.
We dispatch across every Pomona ZIP — 91766, 91767, 91768, 91769 — and our techs know the residential street grid as well as the commercial corridors.
Cross-border jobs into Claremont, La Verne, Diamond Bar are routine, so the same fast response applies if your address technically straddles a city line.
Newer construction in Pomona typically uses Grade 2 builder-grade hardware that we frequently upgrade to smart-and-mechanical hybrid on request.
Why Pomona customers choose One & Only Locksmith
Local knowledge of Pomona. 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 Gabriel Valley and bring the right hardware on the first trip.
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.
Same crew, start to finish. Whether it's a 5-minute lockout or a multi-day master key system in Pomona, the same technician owns your job from arrival to handoff. No "we'll send another guy out for that part."
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.
Live human dispatcher, 24/7. Call (888) 492-0666 and a real person picks up. No phone trees, no offshore call centers, no callback queues. The dispatcher knows Pomona traffic, knows our nearest van, and gives you a real ETA.
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.
What to expect when you call us in Pomona
Our process is the same on every call in Pomona, whether it's a $99 lockout or a $5,000 access control build-out.
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 Pomona 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.
6. Clean work. Hardware is installed straight, square, and to manufacturer spec. Strikes are reinforced into the king stud where appropriate. Old hardware is removed and disposed of.
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. Cabinet & Drawer Lock Installation-specific testing. Walk you through any electronic options.
Honest pricing for Pomona customers
Pricing comes up on every call, so let's address it directly.
Standard cabinet & drawer lock installation calls in Pomona 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.
