24/7 Locksmith Service
It always happens when you least expect it. You step outside to grab a package, door swings shut, and... click. Locked out. No keys. No phone. Just you, the wind, and maybe a slightly smug-looking cat watching from inside.
Welcome to Seal Beach. And welcome to UTS Locksmith Seal Beach.
We've been doing this a while. Over two decades, actually. We know these streets, we know these homes, and we know the locks that guard them. We've handled everything from high-security installs for Main Street shops to emergency 2 a.m. rescues in Leisure World.
We're not a dispatch center three counties over. We live here. And when you call, someone nearby picks up - usually with coffee in one hand and bolt cutters in the other.
You tell us what's wrong. We ask a few questions - nothing weird, just enough to know what tools we need.
Then we show up. Fast. No big production. No drama. Just someone who knows their way around a lock and won't make things worse before they get better.
Sometimes it's a simple rekey. Other times, it's a 40-year-old deadbolt with half a key jammed inside. Every job's different, and we're good with that. Keeps things interesting.
A teenager once called us after locking her backpack - and keys - in the trunk of her car before a job interview. We got her in. She got the job. Her mom baked us brownies the next week.
Another time, a surfboard wedged a patio slider shut so tight the homeowner thought it was broken. It wasn't. Just physics. And maybe poor board storage. We helped with both.
That's what we like about working here. People are human. Locks misbehave. We fix things and move on.
Rekeying. Car lockouts. New hardware installs. Commercial lock systems. Emergency night calls. Entry door handlesets. Mul-T-Lock upgrades.
But it's not really about the services. It's about knowing when someone's locked out of house, they don't want to hear a pitch. They want help. And fast. So that's what we give them.
Most of our regulars already know: we don't upsell. We don't overcharge. We show up, do the work, and make sure it's solid. That's it.
- If your lock feels crunchy, stiff, or a little off - it's about to get worse. Call us before it turns into an locksmith emergency.
- Just moved in? Rekey. Always. You have no idea how many keys your place had before you.
- Don't keep your spare key under the mat, in the mailbox, or inside that rock that looks too much like a fake rock. Trust us, people check.
- If your kid likes to play with buttons, don't leave them alone with the car key fob. You'd be amazed how often that ends in a lockout.
- Check your front and back door handles once a season. Salt air does weird things to old locks around here.
- If a key is bent, don't straighten it and hope for the best. We'll cut you a new one. It's cheaper than a broken cylinder.
We don't close. Ever. We're local and mobile. That means if your key breaks at midnight, we can probably get to you faster than pizza delivery.
And we don't show up grumpy, either. We know getting locked out is stressful enough. You shouldn't have to deal with someone who makes it feel worse.
It's not about being 24 hour locksmiths for the SEO points. It's just what this town needs sometimes. So we do it.
"I called three places. Only UTS picked up. They were at my place in 18 minutes and fixed the door in 10. No nonsense." - Greg S., 12th Street
"Our business needed to change all the locks after an employee left. UTS handled it discreetly, quickly, and gave us options we hadn't thought of." - Amy L., PCH
"They fixed my stuck deadbolt... and then stayed an extra 10 minutes to look at my back gate just because they had the tools out. Didn't even charge for it." - Luis M., Seal Way
Most calls are straightforward. Lock won't turn. Lost keys. Need better security. Other times, not so much.
We once opened a vintage safe hidden behind a closet wall. The owner didn't even know it was there until he started remodeling. Inside? Some coins, some papers - and a raccoon tail. We didn't ask questions.
We've rescued pets from locked cars, opened jammed garage side doors that hadn't moved since 1998, and rekeyed an entire duplex with seven different key types. Seal Beach keeps us on our toes.
We're not part of a big franchise. We don't send random techs who don't know the area. We're local locksmiths in every sense. We grew up here. We know what works in this climate, in these houses, with these people.
We're the ones you call when your mom needs a new deadbolt. When your car won't open after a beach day. When your key snapped and you have no idea why. We fix those things without the fuss.
People call us because we're steady. We're here. And because the last time they were in a jam, we showed up fast and got the job done right.
No fine print. No disappearing act. Just solid locksmith work from people who treat you like a neighbor - because you are one.
If you ever lock yourself out in a towel - or while holding a burrito - don't worry. We've seen worse. And we'll get you back in before it gets cold.
