About the service
Professional Lock Change in Glendale
A lock change means new hardware on the door, not just new pins inside the old one. People in Glendale call us for this for a handful of honest reasons: they just closed on a place off the 134 corridor and have no idea who holds a key, the deadbolt on a 1950s house has gone gritty and loose after decades of marine-layer mornings, or they want to step up from a builder-grade knob to something that actually resists a kick. We also do it when every key is gone and there is nothing left to rekey from.
If the existing lock is solid and you simply want old keys dead, a rekey is cheaper and we will say so. We are not here to sell you brass you do not need.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Glendale
When the tech arrives we look at the door first, because Glendale housing runs the whole range – postwar bungalows on the flats, stucco apartments near downtown, and newer condos up toward the Verdugo foothills. Door thickness, backset, and whether the old strike chewed up the jamb all decide what hardware fits and how long it takes. A single deadbolt swap is quick. A full entry set on a warped older door takes longer because we may need to true up the bore or the strike plate so the new bolt throws clean.
Most straightforward changes run under an hour per opening. If you are doing several doors and want them all on one key, tell us up front so we keyed them alike from the start. We carry Grade 1 and Grade 2 hardware on the van and can talk through what each level actually buys you before anything goes on the door. Call (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I change the lock or just rekey it?
Rekey if the hardware is in good shape and you only want old keys to stop working – it is faster and cheaper. Change the lock when it is worn, low grade, damaged, or when you want a real security upgrade. After a Glendale move-in, a rekey usually does the job; if the existing locks are flimsy or beat up, a change makes more sense.
Which lock grade should I get?
For a primary entry we usually point Glendale homeowners toward Grade 1 – it has the longest cycle life and the strongest bolt against a kick. Grade 2 is a sensible step up from builder hardware for interior or secondary doors. We carry both on the van and will match the grade to the specific door rather than overselling.
How long does a lock change take?
A single deadbolt swap is typically well under an hour. A full handleset on an older warped door takes longer if we need to true up the bore or strike. If you are changing several doors at once, plan on roughly an hour per opening, sometimes less once we are set up.
Can all my new locks open with one key?
Yes. If you want every exterior door on a single key, just tell the tech before we start and we will key the new hardware alike. This works cleanly when we are installing all the locks in one visit, which is common right after a Glendale move-in when you are replacing everything anyway.
