Locksmith service at your home
A residential locksmith works on the locks and keys that belong to a house, apartment, or similar dwelling. Locksmith Serge is a mobile lock and key service. When the job is a fit, we come to the door in Los Angeles instead of asking you to bring a lock to a shop.
People look for a home locksmith for several different problems. You might be locked out. You might want the locks rekeyed so old keys no longer work. You might need a lock replaced, a latch repaired, or a smart lock installed. Those jobs are related, but they are not the same request.
This page is the category overview. It explains what residential lock and key work covers and how to reach us. The focused pages for house lockout, rekey, lock change, lock repair, and smart lock installation go deeper on each intent. Use this hub to choose the path that matches the door, then call or text so we can confirm whether we can help.
If you rent, confirm you have the right to authorize work on that lock before anyone travels. We are not giving landlord-tenant advice — only asking that the person who calls can approve the job at that address.
Home locksmith jobs
Start with the situation that matches the door. Each card opens the focused page for that job.
Locked out of the house
You cannot enter a house or apartment. House lockout is about getting back in, not replacing the lock unless that becomes the next step.
Rekey so old keys stop working
The lock stays. The pins change so a new set of keys works and the old ones do not. That is rekeying, not a full lock swap.
Change or replace the lock
The hardware itself needs to come off and a different lock goes on. That is a lock change, not a rekey of the same cylinder.
Lock will not turn or latch
A sticking, loose, or damaged door lock may be a repair job if the existing hardware can still be made to work.
Install a smart lock
A keypad, app, or smart deadbolt is its own install conversation. Compatibility depends on the door and the product.

Residential locksmith questions
What home locksmith jobs do you handle?
This hub covers house lockouts, rekeying, lock changes, door lock repair, and smart lock installation as separate jobs. Each has its own page. Call with the address and what is wrong so we can say whether that job looks like a fit.
Can a renter request lock work?
Someone who can authorize work on that lock can request a visit. If you rent, confirm you have permission before we travel. We do not interpret a lease for you.
Is rekeying different from changing the lock?
Yes. Rekeying keeps the existing lock and changes the keys that operate it. Changing the lock replaces the hardware. Use the rekey page or the lock-change page depending on which one you need.
Do you install smart locks on every door?
No. A smart lock has to fit the door, the bore, and the product. Share the door type and the lock you have in mind. We confirm whether an install looks possible before a visit.
What is the difference between this page and house lockout service?
This page is the home category. House lockout service is the focused page for getting back into a locked house or apartment. If you are standing outside a locked home door, start there. Use this hub when you are choosing among lockout, rekey, change, repair, or a smart lock.
Do you work on houses outside downtown Los Angeles?
Mobile residential work is done at the address when we can get there and the job is a fit. Nearby communities listed on the homepage are part of the same service area. Call or text to confirm availability for your street.
