About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Burbank
Most rekey calls in Burbank come down to one thing: someone has keys to your door and you don't know who. You just closed on a place off one of the quieter streets north of the 134, or you took over an apartment near the studio lots, and the agent handed you a fat ring with no idea how many copies are out there. The old owner's cleaner, a contractor, the last tenant's brother – any of them could still walk in.
Rekeying solves that. We keep the locks already on your doors and reset the pins inside each cylinder so they answer to a brand-new key. The deadbolt, the knob, the hardware you paid for all stay. Only the old keys die. For a typical Burbank single-family or duplex it's a quick visit, and it costs a fraction of buying new locks for every entry.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Burbank
When we pull up, the first thing we do is count doors and check what's actually on them. A lot of Burbank homes are older – mid-century stuff with mixed hardware where the front uses one brand and the side gate or back door uses another. That matters, because cylinders only rekey to a shared key if they're compatible. We tell you on the spot whether one-key-fits-all is realistic or whether a door or two needs different handling.
Then it's bench work: we pull each cylinder, swap the pin stack to match a fresh cut, reassemble, and test the new key in the door before moving on. You watch the old key fail in the lock – that's the proof. Most homes are done in well under an hour. We cover the 91501 through 91506 area and out toward Burbank's edges off the 5, and we run 24/7, so a lost-key night doesn't have to wait until morning.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey or just replace the locks?
If the locks work fine and you only need old keys shut out – after a move-in or a lost copy – rekeying is the cheaper call, since you keep the hardware. Replace only when a lock is worn, broken, or you want to upgrade the deadbolt itself. On most Burbank jobs we rekey.
Can you get all my doors onto one key?
Usually, yes, as long as the cylinders are compatible. The catch in a lot of older Burbank houses is mixed hardware – a front door of one brand and a side or back door of another. We check on arrival and tell you which doors can join one key and which can't before we touch anything.
Will the old keys really stop working after a rekey?
Yes. Resetting the pins changes what the cylinder accepts, so every old copy – the agent's, the last tenant's, whoever's – quits turning the moment we finish. We have you test an old key in the door so you see it fail with your own eyes.
What does a rekey cost per cylinder in Burbank?
Pricing runs per cylinder, so the total comes down to how many doors you have and whether they share one key. A standard pin-tumbler deadbolt is inexpensive; high-security or specialty cylinders cost more. Call (818) 398-9391 with your door count and we'll give you a real number, not a guess.
