Locksmith in Burbank, CA
Burbank moves fast — and so do we. Whether you're a production assistant who just locked your keys inside your car outside the Warner Bros. Studios lot before a 6 a.m. call time, or a Burbank Town Center retailer who needs a commercial lock rekeyed before opening, Encino Locksmith Corp dispatches a trained local technician directly to your location, any hour of the day or night, 365 days a year.
Open 24 hours, 7 days a week · Licensed, bonded & insured

We know that in a city where media deadlines and busy apartment turnovers don't wait, you can't afford to sit around guessing what a locksmith will charge when they finally show up. That's why every job — car lockout, residential rekey, or commercial lock installation — comes with transparent, up-front pricing quoted before we touch a single pin tumbler. One call and a certified technician is already on the way to you in Burbank.

Locksmith Services We Bring Directly to Burbank
Encino Locksmith Corp dispatches mobile technicians across Burbank around the clock — whether you're locked out of your apartment near the Warner Bros. lot on Olive Avenue, need a rekey after a change of tenants in a Magnolia Park rental, or require a commercial lock upgrade at a studio-adjacent office on Alameda Avenue. Because we are fully mobile, our van arrives equipped with the tools and hardware to handle virtually any job on-site without a second visit. Our trained, insured technicians carry a wide inventory — from Schlage and Kwikset deadbolts to high-security Medeco cylinders and automotive transponder keys — so the solution comes to you, not the other way around.
Our Burbank locksmith service menu covers residential, commercial, and automotive needs in equal depth. Residential services include lockouts, deadbolt installation and replacement, rekeys, master-key systems for multi-unit buildings, sliding-glass-door lock upgrades, window locks, and smart-lock installation and programming. On the commercial side, we handle keypad and keycard access control, panic bar installation, cabinet and file-drawer locks, storefront mortise locks, and high-security cylinder upgrades for offices that require restricted keyways. For drivers — including the many media-industry commuters who pass through Hollywood Burbank Airport — we provide car lockouts, key duplication, transponder-key programming, key-fob replacement, ignition-switch service, and broken-key extraction. We also offer safe opening, safe combination changes, and lock-health inspections for both homes and businesses. That is well over 25 distinct services, all delivered by the same insured mobile team, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Why Fast Response from a Burbank Locksmith Makes All the Difference
Burbank's identity as a media hub means its streets stay active at unusual hours. Production crews wrap shoots in the early morning near the studio backlots; airport staff begin shifts before dawn at Hollywood Burbank Airport; retail workers lock up late at Burbank Town Center Mall. A locksmith that only operates during business hours simply cannot serve this community properly. Encino Locksmith Corp maintains 24/7 availability precisely because lock emergencies — a snapped key in an ignition in the Empire Center parking structure, a broken deadbolt at a Chandler Boulevard apartment — don't follow a schedule. Our mobile dispatch means a qualified technician can be en route quickly after your call, without you waiting for a shop to open or a technician to drive in from across the county.
Speed also matters for security reasons. If you suspect a key is lost or stolen rather than simply misplaced, every hour that passes before a rekey is an hour of potential vulnerability. Our technicians can verify your ownership or tenancy on the spot, rekey or replace the affected locks immediately, and hand you new keys before leaving — so you're not sleeping on the problem. Call (818) 450-5144 any time of day or night and a live team member will answer, confirm your location in Burbank, and get a technician moving toward you. We serve every corner of the city, from the hillside streets of Rancho Adjacent to the busy commercial corridors along San Fernando Road.
What to Expect When Your Encino Locksmith Corp Technician Arrives
From the moment you call (818) 450-5144, our process is designed to be transparent and stress-free. When you reach us, we'll ask for your location, the type of lock or vehicle involved, and the nature of the issue. That information lets us give you an exact, up-front price before any work begins — no vague estimates, no surprise charges added after the job. Pricing factors include the type of lock or vehicle, the parts required, the time of day, and the travel distance to your specific address; we walk you through each applicable factor so the final number makes complete sense to you before we turn a single tool.
When the technician pulls up — in a clearly marked Encino Locksmith Corp van — they will ask to verify your identity and your right to access the property or vehicle. This is a firm policy, not an inconvenience; it protects you and every resident or business owner in the community. Once verified, our trained technician works efficiently and cleanly, explaining each step if you'd like a running commentary or working quietly if you prefer. Hardware we remove is shown to you before disposal, and any new locks or keys are tested in front of you before the technician leaves. Our goal is that by the time we drive away, you feel fully confident in every lock we've touched — and you have a working key in your hand to prove it.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Burbank at 2 a.m.?+
Encino Locksmith Corp operates 24/7, so calling at 2 a.m. reaches a live dispatcher — not a voicemail. We'll confirm your exact address in Burbank and dispatch the nearest available mobile technician immediately. Actual arrival time depends on current traffic and your specific location, but our team is accustomed to off-hour calls from studio workers, airport staff, and late-shift employees throughout the city.
I'm locked out of my apartment near the Burbank Town Center area — what should I do while I wait?+
First, stay in a well-lit, safe spot — a lobby, a nearby open business, or your car if that's accessible. Check whether a trusted neighbor, building manager, or roommate holds a spare key, or whether another door or window was left unlocked (never force entry yourself, as this can damage the lock or door frame and may raise security concerns with neighbors). If none of those options pan out, call (818) 450-5144 and our technician will come to you. We'll verify your tenancy and get you back inside without unnecessary damage to your door or lock.
How is the price for locksmith service in Burbank determined?+
We don't publish flat rates because no two jobs are identical. The factors that shape your quote include the type of lock or vehicle involved, whether replacement parts or new hardware are needed, the time of day (overnight and holiday dispatches carry different logistics), and travel distance to your location. What we commit to is confirming an exact price with you before any work starts — you'll never be handed a surprise invoice after the job is done.
Can you rekey the locks at my Burbank rental property when a tenant moves out?+
Absolutely. Rekeying between tenants is one of the most common requests we handle for Burbank landlords and property managers. Our technician modifies the existing lock cylinder so that all previous keys no longer work, then cuts a fresh set for the new occupant — no need to replace the entire hardware unless it's worn or damaged. We can rekey a single unit or an entire multi-unit building in one visit, and we're available any day of the week to work around move-in and move-out schedules.
My car key was programmed at a dealership — can a mobile locksmith in Burbank handle transponder keys and key fobs?+
Yes. Our technicians carry professional-grade automotive key-programming equipment compatible with a wide range of makes and models. We can cut and program a new transponder key or replace a key fob on-site, whether you're stranded near Hollywood Burbank Airport, at the Empire Center, or anywhere else in the city. Dealership service is one option, but a mobile locksmith visit is typically faster since we come to your vehicle rather than requiring a tow.
