What to do while you wait
First, get somewhere safe and well lit. If anyone, including a child or pet, is trapped inside a car on a hot day, or if you believe someone is inside your home, call 911 before calling a locksmith. Otherwise, call 714-660-0112 and give the dispatcher your exact location, the type of lock or vehicle, and what happened.
Avoid making it worse
It's tempting to force a window, pry a door or poke at a lock with a pin. Those attempts often damage the frame, glass or lock and turn a simple opening into a costly repair. Waiting a little longer for a technician with the right tools is usually the cheaper choice.
After a break-in
Report the break-in to the police and take photos for your insurance claim before anything is repaired. A locksmith can then fix or replace damaged locks and strike plates, secure the door for the night, and rekey any locks whose keys may have been taken.
Lost keys
If your keys are lost and might be found by someone who knows your address (for example, a bag stolen with ID inside), it's worth rekeying the locks rather than only having a new key cut.
Pricing at night and on weekends
The same price list applies: a $29 service call fee plus labor and any hardware. The dispatcher gives an estimate on the phone, and the technician confirms the price on site before starting work. Ask about holiday or after-hours rates when you call so there are no surprises.
