Why Rolling Hills customers choose One & Only Locksmith
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 Rolling Hills traffic, knows our nearest van, and gives you a real ETA.
Non-destructive entry first. Our locksmiths are trained to pick, bypass, and decode. We drill only as a last resort, and only after explaining why. Most Rolling Hills lockouts in residential, commercial, and automotive locks are opened cleanly with no damage at all.
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.
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.
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 Rolling Hills, 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 Rolling Hills
Here's exactly what happens when you call us for service in Rolling Hills.
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.

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

Honest pricing for Rolling Hills customers
Pricing comes up on every call, so let's address it directly.
Standard lock rekeying calls in Rolling Hills 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.
