Locked out of your home, need the locks rekeyed after a move or stuck without a working car key? Macmanuel Lock & Key Services is a locksmith serving Carson, CA from our base in Hawthorne. We help homeowners, renters, landlords, businesses and drivers with lockouts, rekeying, lock changes, lock repair and car keys.
Carson sits just south of Hawthorne and Gardena, with the 405 and 110 freeways running through it, so it is a straightforward drive for our mobile service. Homes range from single-family streets and townhomes to mobile home communities, while Carson’s industrial and logistics areas hold warehouses, yards and workshops with many doors to manage. Shopping centers along Avalon Boulevard and Carson Street, the Cal State Dominguez Hills area and busy event-day parking lots also see their share of car lockouts.
When you call us as your locksmith in Carson, we listen to the problem first, come to your address in many cases and explain your options before any work starts. If a job needs the dealer or a different specialist, we tell you up front.

Locked out of the house? Try the back door, side gate door or garage entry. Do not force a window or climb onto anything unsafe.
Still locked out? See House Lockout Services.
A family member, roommate, neighbor you trust, landlord or park manager may hold a spare. Renters should check the lease first, as some landlords need to approve lock changes.
Want spares for next time? See Key Duplication.
If the key slides in but will not turn, the lock may be worn, the key bent, or the door pressing on the bolt. Lifting or pushing the door gently while turning can show which one. Do not force it, because the key can snap in the cylinder.
Key already broken? Read what to do when a key breaks in a lock or our guide to signs your door lock needs repair.
