About the service
Professional Lock Change in Burbank
A lot of Burbank houses still wear the brass that came with them decades ago, and a worn-out cylinder is a different problem than a security one. If your key has to wiggle, the deadbolt drags, or the thing came loose in the door, no amount of rekeying fixes tired metal. That's when a full lock change makes sense. We see it constantly with the older single-story homes south of the SR-134 and the apartment conversions closer to the studios.
The other big reason people in the 91505 and 91506 zips call us is a fresh start. You just bought or moved into a place and have no idea who holds a working key. Maybe you got handed three keys and the listing said there were six. New hardware ends that guessing. We're a local Burbank locksmith, not a call center, so you talk to the person who actually shows up.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Burbank
When we get to your door we look before we sell. Half the time a sticky lock is a misaligned strike plate or a door that swelled in the dry valley heat, and a rekey plus an adjustment is the honest call. If the cylinder is genuinely worn, you lost every key, or you want to step up to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt, then we change it. We measure the backset and bore so the new hardware sits clean in the existing prep without chewing up your door.
Most single-door swaps run well under an hour once we're on site. A whole house of mixed brands takes longer, but we can key everything to one key so you carry one, not five. We stock common finishes and grades on the truck and cover all of Burbank, from the flats near I-5 to the hillside streets. Call (818) 398-9391 and we'll tell you straight whether you need a change or a cheaper rekey.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I change the lock or just rekey it?
If the lock works fine but you're worried about who has a key (new place, lost keys), rekeying is cheaper and faster. Change the lock when the hardware itself is worn, the deadbolt is loose or sticky from age, or you want a higher security grade than what's on the door now. On site in Burbank we'll tell you honestly which one your door needs.
Which lock grade should I put on my Burbank house?
For an exterior door we steer most Burbank homeowners to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt. Grade 1 is the toughest commercial-level standard and worth it for a main entry; Grade 2 is solid for side and interior-to-garage doors. The builder-grade stuff that came on older homes here is usually Grade 3, which is the weakest tier.
How long does a lock change take?
A single deadbolt or knob swap on an existing door usually takes under an hour from when we arrive. A full house with several doors and mixed brands runs longer, but it's still typically a same-visit job. If the door needs re-boring or the old hardware left odd holes, we'll flag the extra time before we start.
Can all my new locks open with one key?
Yes. When we change multiple locks we can key them alike so a single key works every door, front, back, and garage entry. It only works cleanly if the locks are the same brand or keyway family, so if you've got a mix, we'll match them up during the visit and tell you what we can combine onto one key.
Of course, we'll dispatch one of our experts to assess the situation with your smart lock. They’ll ensure everything works smoothly again once they arrive at your location in Burbank.
