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. For North Hollywood jobs, that candor is part of the quote, not an afterthought.
How we keep it straight
North Hollywood residents can reach us day or night, and we will tell you straight what the job needs.
We will ask who you are and for something that ties you to the property or vehicle, every time. It is quick, and it keeps the wrong person from ever getting in.
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.
We would rather turn up on time than quote a time we cannot hold. Expect a straight arrival window when you call.

Questions people ask
Can you rekey my mailbox or a padlock too?
Often, yes, depending on the lock. Tell us what you have and we will say up front what we can rekey and what is better replaced.
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.
