About the service
Professional Lock Change in Canoga Park
Most calls we get out here in the West Valley start the same way: someone just closed on a place near Warner Center or moved into one of the older single-story homes south toward Woodland Hills, and they have no idea who else still holds a key. Rekeying handles that. But sometimes the hardware itself is the problem. The deadbolt drags, the latch sticks in summer heat, or it's a builder-grade knob from decades ago that a determined teenager could shim. In those cases you don't want the same tired lock with new pins inside it. You want a different lock on the door.
That's a lock change, and it's a separate decision from rekeying. We'll tell you honestly which one your door actually needs before we touch anything.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Canoga Park
When we pull up, the first thing we do is look at the door, not the lock. Valley doors take a beating from the dry heat and the temperature swing between a 105-degree afternoon and a cool night, so wood shifts and bore holes wear oval. We check that the new hardware will seat clean, measure the backset and bore, and confirm the strike lines up before recommending anything. If you've lost all your keys or you're a brand-new owner, that conversation is quick.
Then we install. A standard residential change-out, one deadbolt and a matching knob or lever, usually runs under an hour once we're on site. If you're stepping up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 deadbolt for better security, we'll walk you through the trade-offs and key everything alike so one key runs the whole door. We carry common finishes on the van, so most jobs finish same visit. Call (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I change the lock or just rekey it?
If the lock works fine and you only want to lock out old keyholders, rekey it, it's cheaper and faster. Change the lock when the hardware itself is the issue: it's worn and dragging, it's a flimsy old knob, or you want a higher security grade. New owners who lost all their keys can usually rekey, but if the existing lock is decades old we'll often suggest changing it instead.
Which lock grade should I get for a Canoga Park home?
For most West Valley houses a Grade 2 deadbolt is the practical sweet spot, solid enough for a residential front or side door without overpaying. If you're on a corner lot, back near a quieter residential street, or just want maximum resistance, Grade 1 is worth the extra. We'll show you both on site and let the door and your comfort level decide.
How long does a lock change take?
A single deadbolt-and-knob change-out is usually done in well under an hour once we're at your door. Doing several doors, or fitting a higher-grade deadbolt that needs the bore adjusted, adds time. We carry common parts and finishes on the van, so the large majority of Canoga Park jobs finish in one visit with no second trip.
Can all my new locks open with one key?
Yes. When we change more than one lock we key them alike, so a single key works the front, side and back doors. If you'd rather keep certain doors on separate keys, say a garage or a rental unit, we can set that up too. Just tell us how you want it before we start and we'll cut the keys to match.
