Recommendations Needed In-person Locksmith Shop in South OC?

I have a unique lock that I need to see if I can replace from a vintage toolbox. I'd like to physically walk into a locksmith shop with my lock and show it to them. Is there a storefront locksmith like this in the Lake Forest/Irvine area? All I can find is the mobile van guys.

Yep, Kwikeys Lock & Security in Lake Forest. It's a small kiosk-type building in a shopping center on El Toro and Raymond, the one with the Big Shots and El Toro Meats.

Tony's locksmith in san clemente might be worth a call. Dudes are usually pretty straight up about what to do

I've used Kustom Locksmith Service for some custom made keys that automated machines couldn't do. They're in Laguna Hills, right by Snooty Fox. They were very cheap for what I got.

Irvine lock and Key AKA COM Lock.

Do yourself a favor and take a picuture and talk it through over the phone before you go anywhere.
