Locksmith in Lawndale, CA
Locked out of your apartment, need the locks rekeyed after a tenant moves out, or stuck outside your car on Hawthorne Boulevard? Macmanuel Lock & Key Services is a locksmith serving Lawndale, CA from our base right next door in Hawthorne. We help residents, landlords, property managers, small businesses and drivers with lockouts, rekeying, lock repair, lock changes and car keys.
Lawndale borders Hawthorne to the north and east, so it is one of the closest cities we serve. It is a small, mostly residential city: single-family homes on quiet side streets, and many duplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings, especially near Hawthorne Boulevard, Inglewood Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard. Hawthorne Boulevard runs through the middle of the city and is lined with small shops, auto businesses, restaurants and offices, and the 405 freeway runs along the east side.
That mix means many of our Lawndale calls are about apartment and unit doors, shared gates, worn deadbolts and rekeying between tenants, plus business door problems and car lockouts. When you call us as your locksmith in Lawndale, we listen to the problem first, come to your address in many cases and explain your options before any work starts.
Need a locksmith in Lawndale? Call (424) 297-4396 and give us your street address and unit number, or the business or nearest cross street where your car is parked.

Rekeying for Landlords and Property Managers
With so many rental units in Lawndale, rekeying between tenants is one of the most common jobs we do here. Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock so the old keys stop working, while the hardware stays on the door. For a building with several units, we can also set up keys so each tenant opens only their own door while the owner or manager keeps a key for common doors.
Details are on our Lock Rekeying, Lock Change and Master Key Systems pages, and our guide to rekey vs change locks.

1. Call and Explain
Call (424) 297-4396 and tell us what is locked, lost or not working and where you are in Lawndale.

Quick Checks Before You Call From Lawndale
A few simple checks can save time, and sometimes they solve the problem on the spot.
Locked Out of Your Unit
Check whether a roommate, family member or the building manager has a spare key. Renters should check the lease before changing or rekeying a lock, and tell the landlord if the lock itself is broken. Do not force a window or a door.
Still locked out? See House Lockout Services.
Key Snapped or Stuck in the Lock?
Do not try to dig the broken piece out with a pin or a knife; that often pushes it deeper and damages the lock. Keep the other half of the key, because it can help when a new key is cut.
Car Key Missing?
Retrace your steps and check bags, jackets and the last shop you visited. If there is no key left at all, the car may need a new key made and programmed.
