Two licensed professionals with more than 18 years in the Los Angeles locksmith and general contracting trades. When you call Green Locksmith, you're talking to the people who will actually show up at your door.
Anyone who has been locked out in Los Angeles knows the story: you search online, call a number that promises "$19 service," and the person who arrives has no company name, no license, and a bill four times what you were quoted.
David Ham and Jay Hahn spent years in this industry watching that happen to their own neighbors in Koreatown. Green Locksmith LLC exists to be the opposite: a real shop with a real address on West 8th Street, a real license, and a price that doesn't change between the phone call and the invoice.
Over 18+ years the work grew from locks and keys into full door and frame carpentry, storefront hardware and tenant improvements — because customers kept asking, and because a locksmith who can also rebuild the door solves the whole problem instead of half of it.
David handles most emergency dispatch and residential work. He's the voice you'll usually hear at 2 AM, and he's the one who insists every price be stated before a tool comes out of the truck. Fluent in English and Korean.

Jay leads the commercial and contractor side: master key systems, storefront hardware, door and frame replacement, and tenant improvement projects. If your job needs a written scope and a bid, Jay writes it.

You approve a flat price before work starts. No mid-job surprises, ever.
Company name, license and ID shown on arrival. You always know who's at your door.
Non-destructive entry is always attempted before any drilling — and we explain why if it isn't possible.
If something we installed doesn't work right, we return and fix it. Parts and labor warrantied.
Green Locksmith LLC operates as a licensed California locksmith and holds a general contractor license for door, frame and build-out work. We carry liability insurance and a bond, and we are happy to provide license numbers and a certificate of insurance on request — landlords and property managers usually need this for their files.
Call and talk directly to David or Jay. No call center, no runaround.
