Could the locks be changed the same day as the 90020 lockout?

In most cases. Share the lockout date and time with us early, and we will plan the appointment to follow the Sheriff visit.

If a tenant in 90020 is locked out, can you let them in?

We do, once we have confirmed the resident, such as with ID that shows the address or a copy of the lease.

Is master keying possible for a 90020 apartment building?

Often it can. We look at the existing locks and explain whether a master key system can use them or needs new cylinders.

After the Sheriff lockout: securing the property

An eviction lockout is the last step of a legal process: after the court judgment and the writ, a Sheriff deputy returns possession to the owner. That is the moment to have a locksmith ready to change or rekey the locks.

If the former occupant may still hold keys to shared doors, such as a laundry room or a side gate, we can rekey those at the same visit. If the unit had a keypad or smart lock, we reset the codes and remove old users as part of the job.

For questions about notices, deadlines or the court process, speak with an attorney; we focus on the locks. For landlords, the eviction lock change guide covers what to prepare.

A short checklist for owners

Make a list of every door, gate, mailbox and storage lock before the appointment so nothing is missed.
Note any damaged door frames or strike plates; a strong lock on a weak frame offers little protection.
