Mid-City, Arlington Heights, Country Club Park and the neighbouring streets of ZIP 90019 are part of our regular service area. Call us for lockouts, rekeying, lock repairs and car keys; we talk through the job and price first.
About Mid-City
90019 is full of 1910s to 1930s Craftsman bungalows, Spanish-style duplexes and fourplexes, plus commercial strips along Pico, Washington and Venice Boulevards. Older homes here often have original mortise locks, glass-panel front doors and French doors, which need a different approach from a standard modern deadbolt.
Getting to you in Mid-City
Many Mid-City streets are lined with driveways shared by duplex neighbours, so tell us which side of the building is yours and whether the technician should use the front or the rear unit's entrance.
Lock jobs we often handle in 90019
- Servicing and rekeying original mortise locks
- Deadbolt choices for doors with glass panels
- Duplex and fourplex lock changes between tenants
- French door and patio door lock repair
Local tip: On a door with a glass panel next to the lock, a double-cylinder deadbolt can stop someone reaching through, but it can also slow your exit in a fire. Ask us about the trade-offs, and check local code before choosing one.
Questions from Mid-City customers
Can you rekey an old mortise lock?
Often, yes. Many mortise locks use a standard screw-in cylinder that can be rekeyed or replaced while keeping the original lock body and trim.
Do you fix French door locks?
Yes. We repair and replace multipoint and standard locks on French and patio doors, including adjusting the door so it latches properly.
What should I do if my old key is worn smooth?
Do not copy it again. We can decode the lock or cut a key to the original code, which works much more smoothly than a copy of a worn key.
