What a rekey involves
On site in San Fernando, 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 San Fernando
- Your doors take different keys and you want one key for all of them.
- 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 San Fernando, we say so before we start, not after.
How we keep it straight
Anywhere in San Fernando, pick up the phone and we will walk through it before anything is committed.
Identification and proof of ownership or authorization come first. It is not about doubting you; it is about a locksmith only ever opening doors for the people entitled to them.
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.
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 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 San Fernando if you are weighing a rekey against a full lock change.
