What a rekey involves
On site in La Crescenta, the job runs:
- We remove each cylinder, replace the pins to match a new key, and reinstall it.
- We test every door with the new key and, if you asked, key them all alike.
- You get the new keys and the total agreed in writing before we started.
When people call us for this in La Crescenta
- You just moved in and have no idea who holds a copy.
- Your doors take different keys and you want one key for all of them.
- A key was lost or stolen and you want the old one made useless.

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 La Crescenta, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
La Crescenta is well inside the area we cover, so get in touch and we will tell you honestly what it will take.
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
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.
Do I need to be there?
We need the authorized owner or resident to confirm identity and access, so yes, someone with the right to the property should be on site.
