What a rekey involves
On site in Valley Glen, the job runs:
- 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.
- 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 Valley Glen
- Your doors take different keys and you want one key for all of them.
- 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.

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. Around Valley Glen, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
If you are in Valley Glen and stuck, call and we will talk through your options before anyone commits to anything.
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.
Rather than guess at a price online, we look at the lock or vehicle, explain your options, and give you the total up front. You approve it in writing before we start.
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
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.
Is rekeying cheaper than new locks?
Usually, yes, because we reuse your hardware and only change the pins. We quote both options in Valley Glen if you are weighing a rekey against a full lock change.
