24 hour locksmith in Los Angeles
What a 24 hour locksmith in Los Angeles means
You can send a 24 hour locksmith request in Los Angeles at 2 a.m. or on a Sunday. LockUnlocked takes the request any hour. A locksmith who covers that ZIP still has to be free, then call with the price and arrival time.
An emergency lockout of a car and a house lockout are different jobs. Say which one it is, plus cross streets and any gate. If a child, pet, or anyone is in immediate danger, call 911 first.
What happens next
- You submit your ZIP and a short note about what happened.
- We send it to locksmiths who cover that ZIP, or nearby.
- Expect a call from a locksmith. They'll confirm the price and arrival time. You pay the locksmith directly.
Request after-hours locksmith help

Useful next steps
County emergency page: emergency lockout in Los Angeles.
People type “24 hour locksmith Los Angeles” when the clock is already against them — late night, early morning, or a weekend when shops look closed. LockUnlocked accepts requests at any hour. That is not a promise that a locksmith is free in every ZIP right now.
Immediate danger is a 911 call
If a child, pet, or anyone is trapped in a hot vehicle or in immediate danger, call 911 first. LockUnlocked is not emergency services. For a lockout without immediate danger, submit a request and wait for a locksmith to confirm availability.
What “24-hour” means on this site
The form stays open. Your ZIP and short description go to independent locksmiths who cover that area. Expect a call from a locksmith. They'll confirm the price and arrival time, including after-hours charges.
If nobody accepts, you are not stuck with a fake “15 minutes” promise. You can keep your phone on, add clearer details, or try again. Night and weekend work often costs more — ask what the range includes before you agree.
After-hours jobs people usually mean
- Car lockout: keys on a seat, in a trunk, or a fob the car no longer sees
- House or apartment lockout: front door, gate, garage, or broken key in the cylinder
- Business access: storefront or office when staff need to open or close
- Rekey after hours: less common late at night, but useful after a lost key or roommate change when you cannot wait until morning
Pick the closest service page if you already know the job type: car lockout, house lockout, keys locked in car, or the broader emergency lockout hub.
Price talk before anyone drives
After-hours work is not the same as a daytime service call. Ask for the trip fee, labor, after-hours charge, parts if needed, and what can change the total. LockUnlocked does not add a customer platform fee. You pay the locksmith for the work they perform.

24-hour FAQ
Can I submit a 24-hour locksmith request at 2 a.m.?+−
Yes. The form accepts requests anytime across Los Angeles County. A locksmith still has to be available and accept before anyone is dispatched.
Is 24-hour service the same as emergency lockout?+−
Often the same routing. This page focuses on after-hours and “open now” intent. The emergency page covers urgent car and home lockouts more broadly.
Will someone arrive in 15 minutes?+−
No site-wide promise. Arrival depends on ZIP coverage, traffic, and the job. The locksmith states an ETA on the phone if they accept.
Why does night work cost more?+−
Fewer techs are working, drives take longer, and risk is higher in dark lots or gated buildings. A clear after-hours range upfront is normal — a bait number that jumps on arrival is not.
