About

Owned by Rick Churchman since 1994, La Jolla Lock and Safe is a women-owned, family-operated locksmith and security company at 5111 Santa Fe St, Suite K, in Pacific Beach, 92109, with roots going back to 1971. The company holds CSLB Contractor’s License #740521 and California Bureau of Security & Investigative Services Locksmith License LCO #862, and it is a member of the ALOA Security Professionals Association and verified by the Fair Trade Locksmith Directory as licensed, bonded, and insured. Cynthia Marie Churchman serves as president, and the business is the only locksmith with a walk-in showroom in Pacific Beach, stocking Gardall, AMSEC, and Horizon safes for immediate purchase and delivery. Homeowners upgrading security after a remodel often coordinate deadbolt and smart-lock installations with wiring from Pacific Beach Electric nearby. Residential services include lock rekeying, high-security Grade 1 deadbolt installation, master key systems for property managers, key duplication, smart-lock programming for Schlage and Baldwin products, and ASSA Twin Maximum proprietary keyway locks that cannot be duplicated at retail kiosks. Commercial capabilities cover keyless access control for multi-tenant buildings, CCTV surveillance system design and installation, monitored burglar alarm integration, and phone and video intercom systems. Safe consultations match UL-rated fire classifications and TL/TRTL burglary ratings to each client’s insurance requirements, and the showroom stocks everything from one-hour fire-rated document safes to TL-30 high-security vaults designed for jewelry, firearms, and sensitive media storage. Property managers needing building-wide access-control systems also consult Pacific Beach Insurance Service to align security upgrades with liability coverage. Churchman launched the sister company La Jolla Security Systems in 2009 specifically for monitored alarm and smart-home automation packages. The Gardall and AMSEC safes in the showroom range from compact personal vaults to full-size commercial fire safes UL-rated for 1,850-degree exposure with 120-minute fire protection.
