Why local Valley Glen experience matters
Valley Glen has its own personality, and our service approach reflects it.
We dispatch across every Valley Glen ZIP — 91401, 91606 — and our techs know the residential street grid as well as the commercial corridors.
Cross-border jobs into Van Nuys, Valley Village, North Hollywood are routine, so the same fast response applies if your address technically straddles a city line.
Older Valley Glen homes often have mortise or aging cylinder locks that need careful handling — drilling them is rarely the right answer the first time.
Why Valley Glen customers choose One & Only Locksmith
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.
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 Valley Glen lockouts in residential, commercial, and automotive locks are opened cleanly with no damage at all.
Local knowledge of Valley Glen. 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.

Honest pricing for Valley Glen customers
Pricing comes up on every call, so let's address it directly.
Standard rv, boat & trailer key replacement calls in Valley Glen 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.
