Where we are straight with you
A rekey only helps where the hardware is still sound. On a lock that already binds or is corroded, re-pinning buys little, and we would rather point you to a change than take payment for a fix that will not last. Around Studio City, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
Anywhere in Studio City, 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 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.
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
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.
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.
