What a rekey involves
On site in Encino, the job runs:
- We confirm you own or are authorized for the home, and check ID.
- We remove each cylinder, replace the pins to match a new key, and reinstall it.
- 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 Encino
- A tenant, roommate, or contractor moved on and had a key.
- You just moved in and have no idea who holds a copy.

Where we are straight with you
Rekeying needs a cylinder that is in working order. If a lock is worn, damaged, or so old that parts are scarce, re-pinning it is a short-term fix at best, and we will tell you when a lock change is the more honest value instead. Around Encino, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
If you are in Encino and stuck, call and we will talk through your options before anyone commits to anything.
Expect us to ask for identification and some proof that the property or vehicle is yours or that you are authorized for it. We do this on every job, and we appreciate your patience with it.
We would rather quote you straight than bait you with a number that changes on arrival. You hear the price up front and sign off on it in writing before anything begins.
Our arrival estimate is tied to our actual location and the roads that day. If something changes it, we tell you instead of leaving you guessing.

Questions people ask
Can one key work all my doors?
Yes, as long as the locks are compatible. Keying alike is a common request, and we set it up during the rekey so a single key opens every exterior door.
How long does a rekey take?
A few doors are usually quick, but it depends on the number of cylinders and their condition. We give you a realistic read when you call rather than a blanket promise.
