What a rekey involves
On site in Arleta, the job runs:
- We confirm you own or are authorized for the home, and check ID.
- You get the new keys and the total agreed in writing before we started.
- If a lock is too worn to hold a rekey well, we flag it and talk through a change instead.
When people call us for this in Arleta
- Your doors take different keys and you want one key for all of them.
- You just moved in and have no idea who holds a copy.
- A tenant, roommate, or contractor moved on and had a key.
Rekey around Arleta
Arleta was separated from Pacoima and still shares the 91331 ZIP code with it.
The neighborhood is almost entirely single-family homes, so move-in rekeys and deadbolt upgrades are common.
With no through-traffic landmark, Arleta's regular street grid makes evening calls easy to find.
Nordhoff Street and I-5 (Golden State Freeway) are how we move around Arleta, and they put most of it within a short drive.
the Woodman Avenue corridor, the Branford area and the Osborne Street blocks: we run all of it, and that familiarity helps us turn up with the right parts.
We take Arleta calls across 91331, all within our regular range.
Whether you are by the Woodman Avenue commercial strip or on a side street, Arleta is territory we know.
I-5 (Golden State Freeway) and CA-118 (Ronald Reagan Freeway) frame this part of the Valley, so reaching Arleta from the West Hills base is straightforward.
Arleta is a moderate-to-longer drive east and north of West Hills via the CA-118.
Where we are straight with you
A rekey only helps where the hardware is still sound. On a lock that already binds or is corroded, re-pinning buys little, and we would rather point you to a change than take payment for a fix that will not last. In Arleta, we flag that on the call before we head out.
How we keep it straight
Arleta residents can reach us day or night, and we will tell you straight what the job needs.
No job starts until we have confirmed your right to the property or vehicle with ID and suitable proof. That rule holds at every hour and for every kind of lock.
There is no honest flat rate we can print, because two jobs that sound alike can need very different work. We price it after we see it, and you approve the figure before we lift a tool.
When you call, we give you an honest estimate of how long we will take to reach you based on where our van is and traffic, not a number designed to get you off the phone.

Questions people ask
Can you rekey locks of different brands together?
Often, if the cylinders accept a common keyway. Where brands are incompatible we explain the options rather than force a mismatch.
Do old keys still work after a rekey?
No. That is the point. Once we re-pin the cylinder, any previous key stops opening it, and only the new key works.
