Knowing Sylmar — its streets, its older blocks, and the newer builds — helps us turn up with the right parts the first time.
Covering Sylmar from our West Hills base, we have a feel for which blocks are older and which are newer builds.
What a rekey involves
On site in Sylmar, the job runs:
- We confirm you own or are authorized for the home, and check ID.
- We test every door with the new key and, if you asked, key them all alike.
- We check each lock turns smoothly afterward, since a tired cylinder can be felt during a rekey.
When people call us for this in Sylmar
- A tenant, roommate, or contractor moved on and had a key.
- 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.

Sylmar is a longer drive northeast of West Hills via the CA-118 and the I-5.
Where we are straight with you
Most locks rekey cleanly, but incompatible keyways and badly worn cylinders have limits. Where keying everything to one key is not possible, we explain the options rather than force a mismatch. Around Sylmar, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
If you are in Sylmar and stuck, call and we will talk through your options before anyone commits to anything.
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 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.
We tell you a realistic arrival window on the call. Traffic across the Valley varies, so we would rather give you a straight answer than a promise we cannot keep.

Questions people ask
Can one key work all my doors?
Yes, as long as the locks are compatible. Keying alike is a common request, and we set it up during the rekey so a single key opens every exterior door.
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.
