Spare Car Key & Key Duplication in Studio City, CA.

Working as a locksmith in Studio City for 15+ years has taught us a few things about this part of San Fernando Valley.

Around Ventura Boulevard near CBS Studio Center, 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.

Cross-border jobs into North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Toluca Lake are routine, so the same fast response applies if your address technically straddles a city line.

Many Studio City customers manage rental units, ADUs, or multi-generational housing — master key systems, smart locks, and audit-friendly hardware all become very useful.

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 Studio City, the same technician owns your job from arrival to handoff. No "we'll send another guy out for that part."

Local knowledge of Studio City. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Transparency is the whole point — here's what your call to One & Only Locksmith looks like end to end.

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 Studio City 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. Spare Car Key & Key Duplication-specific testing. Test all functions on both keys.

Pricing comes up on every call, so let's address it directly.

Standard spare car key & key duplication calls in Studio City 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.
