About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Fresno
Most rekey calls we get in Fresno come from people who just closed on a house or signed a lease. The deadbolt works fine, the knob looks new enough, but you have no idea who still has a copy of the key. The previous owner, their cleaner, a kid who moved out, a contractor who never returned theirs. Rekeying solves that without replacing a single lock. We pull the cylinder, swap the pins to a new combination, and cut keys to match. The old keys go dead.
It costs a fraction of new hardware, which matters when an older Fresno bungalow has five or six doors that all need attention. Summers here run hot and dry, so doors swell and shift through the year. A rekey doesn't touch that alignment problem, which is exactly why people choose it.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Fresno
When we arrive, the first thing we do is walk the doors with you and check what you actually have. A lot of homes around the older central neighborhoods near 93701 and 93702 have a mix of brands collected over decades, and not every lock can ride the same key. We tell you straight which cylinders can be combined onto one key and which can't before we touch anything. If a cylinder is worn past the point of holding pins reliably, we say so rather than charging you for work that won't last.
Then it's quick. Each cylinder comes apart, gets new pins set to one fresh combination, goes back together, and gets tested with the new keys. A typical Fresno house with four to six doors is done in well under an hour. We carry pins and key blanks on the truck, so there's no second trip. We cover Fresno and the surrounding county and run 24/7 at (818) 398-9391.

FAQ
Should I rekey or replace the locks on my new Fresno place?
If the locks themselves work, deadbolts throw smoothly, knobs turn cleanly, rekeying is almost always the better call. You keep the hardware and just kill the old keys for a lot less money. Replacement only makes sense when a lock is physically failing, you want a different finish or style, or you're upgrading to something like a smart deadbolt. We'll tell you which situation you're in once we see the doors.
Can you put all my doors on one key?
Usually, yes, as long as the cylinders are compatible. Most Fresno homes with matching or common-brand hardware can be keyed alike to a single key, which is the most popular request we get after a move. If you've got a mismatch of old and new brands across the front, back, and side doors, some may not combine, and we'll let you know which ones before we start.
Do the old keys really stop working after a rekey?
Yes. Rekeying changes the internal pin pattern, so any key cut to the old pattern, every copy the previous owner, tenant, or contractor ever handed out, no longer turns the lock. The only keys that work afterward are the ones we cut to the new combination that day.
What does rekeying cost per cylinder in Fresno?
It's priced per cylinder plus a service call, and per-cylinder it's far cheaper than buying and installing a new lock, especially when several doors get done in the same visit. We give you the full number before any work starts, so you're never guessing. Call (818) 398-9391 and tell us how many doors you have and roughly what brands, and we'll quote it.
