Before you book
We publish typical ranges in the pricing section above, and your locksmith confirms the price with you before any work starts. If it changes when they arrive, you decide — no work happens until you agree.
Yes. Naklin operates under California BSIS Locksmith Company License #LCO8368. California requires locksmiths to be licensed through the Bureau of Security & Investigative Services, and you can verify our number with them. Ask your technician for their license at the door too.
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so old keys stop working — fast and inexpensive, ideal when you move in or lose a key. Replacement makes sense when a lock is damaged or you want a security upgrade. Your tech can advise on the spot.
Get a written quote up front, ask for a license number, and be cautious of a very low phone price that balloons on arrival. On Naklin the price is confirmed before work starts, every locksmith is state-licensed, and Naklin operates under a verifiable state license — that's the protection you should expect from any locksmith.
You pay when the work is done. Your total — the locksmith's price plus any Naklin service fee — is confirmed with you before any work starts. If anything about a quote doesn't add up, you can stop and call us at (310) 464-2466.
