Locksmith in Manhattan Beach, CA
Locked out of a beach house, need the locks rekeyed after a move or a rental turnover, or stuck outside your car near the pier? Macmanuel Lock & Key Services is a locksmith serving Manhattan Beach, CA from our base in nearby Hawthorne. We help homeowners, renters, property managers, local businesses and drivers with lockouts, rekeying, lock repair, smart locks and car keys.
Manhattan Beach is just southwest of Hawthorne, a short drive for our mobile service along Rosecrans Avenue, Marine Avenue or Manhattan Beach Boulevard. Most of the city is residential: the Sand Section with its walk streets and homes close to the Strand, the Tree Section and Hill Section further up, and the neighborhoods east of Sepulveda Boulevard. Shops and restaurants are concentrated downtown near the pier, along Sepulveda and around Manhattan Village.
Because so much of the city is homes, many of our Manhattan Beach calls are about front doors, side gates, garage entry doors and sliding patio doors, plus rekeying when people move in, finish a remodel or hand over a rental. When you call us as your locksmith in Manhattan Beach, we listen to the problem first, come to your address in many cases and explain your options before any work starts.

Lock and Key Work Around Manhattan Beach
Home, Rental, Business and Car Locksmith Help in Manhattan Beach
From walk-street homes near the beach to shops along Sepulveda, here is how we help, with links to the full service pages.

Read more on our Residential Locksmith Services, House Lockout Services and Smart Lock Installation pages.
Rekeying for Owners, Renters and Rentals
New homeowners often do not know how many copies of the old keys are out there, and rental owners face the same question at every tenant change. Rekeying changes the lock’s pins so old keys stop working, while the hardware you already have stays on the door. We can also key several doors to work with one key.
Details are on our Lock Rekeying and Lock Change pages, and our guide to rekey vs change locks.
Automotive Locksmith
Car lockouts in beach and pier parking lots, at Manhattan Village or in your own driveway, replacement car keys and remotes, key fob replacement, key programming and ignition problems. Many jobs can be done where the car is parked; if your vehicle needs the dealer, we will say so when you call.
Commercial Locksmith
Shops, restaurants, salons and offices downtown and along Sepulveda Boulevard: lockouts, commercial lock repair and replacement, doors that will not latch and rekeying when staff change. Businesses with several doors can ask about a master key system.

Quick Checks Before You Call From Manhattan Beach
A few simple checks can save time, and sometimes they solve the problem on the spot.
At Home
Try the back door, side gate and garage entry, and ask whether a family member, neighbor or property manager has a spare. Renters should check the lease before changing locks. Do not force a window or a sliding door.
Still locked out? See House Lockout Services.
Sliding Door Will Not Lock?
Check that the door is fully closed and the latch lines up with the catch; sand and grit in the track can stop it closing all the way. If it still will not lock, the latch or lock may be worn and need repair or replacement.
See Lock Repair Services or read signs your door lock needs repair.
Car Keys at the Beach
Keys get lost in the sand more often than people expect. Check bags, towels and pockets before you call. If no key is left at all, the car may need a new key made and programmed.
