What a rekey involves
On site in Reseda, the job runs:
- 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.
- 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 Reseda
- A key was lost or stolen and you want the old one made useless.
- You just moved in and have no idea who holds a copy.
- A tenant, roommate, or contractor moved on and had a key.

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. Here in Reseda, we say so before we start, not after.
How we keep it straight
Anywhere in Reseda, pick up the phone and we will walk through it before anything is committed.
Before we open a door, start a car or make a key, we confirm you have the right to be there — photo ID plus proof of residence, ownership, or authorization. It protects you as much as it protects us.
We do not post a flat price here because the real number depends on the hardware, the situation, and the time of day. You get a clear quote before any work starts, and the total in writing before we begin.
Ask us how long and you will get a real answer shaped by where we are and the traffic, not a figure picked to sound good.

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.
Is rekeying cheaper than new locks?
Usually, yes, because we reuse your hardware and only change the pins. We quote both options in Reseda if you are weighing a rekey against a full lock change.
