About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Glendale
You bought the house, or signed the lease, and the previous people handed you a coffee can of keys with no idea which opened what. That is the usual reason a Glendale call comes in for a rekey. The locks themselves are fine — solid deadbolts on a 1940s home near the SR-2, or builder-grade hardware in one of the newer hillside places off Glenoaks. There is no reason to throw them out. We just take the cylinder apart and reset the pins so a fresh key works and every old copy stops.
It is the practical fix when you do not know who still has a key — the prior owner, a contractor, the cousin who house-sat. Rekeying is cheaper than replacing, it keeps your existing knobs and finishes, and it ends the guessing. We cover the 91201 through 91206 ZIPs and the rest of Glendale, with the same answer either way: keep your hardware, change your key.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Glendale
When we get to the door, the first thing is a quick count — front, back, side gate, the door to the garage, any deadbolt-plus-knob combos. We check that the cylinders are a brand we can rekey on the spot, which most residential locks in Glendale are. Then we pull each lock, swap the pin stack to match one new key, and reassemble. You test it before we leave. Old keys go in the trash because they no longer turn anything.
Most single-family homes around here run four to six lock points, and that is well under an hour of work. If you want the whole place on one key — front, back, garage entry all matching — say so up front and we set the pinning that way. Reaching the I-5 or SR-134 corridor, the flats, or the foothill streets, our trucks carry the pins and key blanks to finish on the first trip. Call (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey or just replace the locks?
If the deadbolts and knobs are in good shape — and most Glendale homes have hardware that is — rekeying is the smarter call. You keep your existing locks and finishes and only pay to reset the pins, which costs less than buying and installing new units. We only steer you toward replacement when a lock is worn, damaged, or too old to rekey reliably.
Can you make all my doors open with one key?
Yes. That is one of the most common requests we get after a Glendale move-in. We pin every cylinder you want included — front, back, garage entry, side gate — to the same key. Tell us up front which doors to include so we set them all alike on the first visit.
Will the old keys really stop working after a rekey?
Completely. Resetting the pins changes what the cylinder accepts, so any key cut to the old pattern no longer turns. That is the whole point if you do not know who still has copies — the previous owner, a handyman, a former tenant. After we test the new key, every old one is dead metal.
How is rekey priced — per door or flat?
It is per cylinder, since each lock is its own job to take apart and re-pin. We give you the per-cylinder rate plus a service call when you phone, so a typical four-to-six-door Glendale home has a clear total before we start. Matching them all to one key does not change the per-cylinder cost. Call (818) 398-9391 for the number.
