Established in 1974, Viva Zapata Lock & Key started out as a small, family-owned lock shop. Over the years, with dedication and hard work, this business has become an integral part of the Downtown LA community. The founder, Guillermo Zapata, came to the United States with a few pesos and a dream. He became a citizen in 1981 and has spent over 40 years in the locksmithing business. His passion for his work is evident in every service provided, bringing joy to customers through exceptional service.
The business is now run by Guillermo and his family, including his wife and children. Guillermo, affectionately known as "Mo, " has been involved in the business for over 12 years. His daughter, Cheryl "Sissy, " manages the daily operations and finances. This family's commitment to providing excellent service has earned them a reputation as a trusted locksmith in Los Angeles.
