Premium Locksmithing & Security Consulting in Del Mar
If you’re locked out of your Del Mar home, need to rekey after a move, or want to upgrade the security on your coastal property, you need someone you can actually trust. Locksmith On Call is owned and operated by a Retired San Diego Sheriff’s Deputy and Master Locksmith — not a franchise, not a call center. Just a licensed, insured local professional who knows this community and takes your security seriously.
We serve residential and commercial clients only. No automotive. That focus means every service call we take is handled with deep expertise in home and business security — not split across dozens of specialties.
Coastal living calls for high-quality, salt-resistant hardware that lasts. I specialize in premium deadbolt installs and smart home integration for Del Mar homeowners. Trust a retired Deputy to handle your security with the professional care your home deserves.
What We Do for Del Mar Homes & Businesses

Why Del Mar Properties Have Unique Security Needs
Del Mar’s coastal environment — salt air, ocean wind, and year-round humidity — accelerates hardware corrosion faster than inland San Diego. Locks and deadbolts on homes west of I-5, particularly along Coast Blvd and Beach Colony, can seize up or degrade in as little as two to three years if the wrong hardware is used. We recommend and install marine-grade stainless steel and weather-resistant hardware designed to hold up on the coast.
Del Mar also has a mix of property types with distinct security needs: older beach cottages along 15th and 17th Street, newer luxury estates near the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and Torrey Pines, and commercial properties along Camino Del Mar serving both locals and visitors during race season and San Diego County Fair weekends. Each of those calls for a different approach — and we know the difference.
We serve all Del Mar neighborhoods and ZIP code 92014 — including Beach Colony, Olde Del Mar, Del Mar Heights, properties along Via de la Valle, and businesses near the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve.

For homes west of I-5 and near the ocean, we recommend marine-grade stainless steel or solid brass hardware with weather-resistant finishes.
