About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Lake Balboa
You just got the keys to a place off Balboa Boulevard, and the last tenant handed you three of them — but who knows how many more sit in a junk drawer or with a roommate who moved out two years ago. That's when a rekey earns its keep. We don't rip out your deadbolt; we pull the cylinder, rebuild the pin stack to a new combination, and cut fresh keys. The lock you already own keeps working — just not for anyone holding an old copy.
In Lake Balboa that's usually a postwar ranch house or an apartment near the Sepulveda Basin, and often it's more than one lock — deadbolt, knob, side gate, garage. We can key them all alike so a single key does everything, no ring to sort on the porch in July.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Lake Balboa
First thing at the door is a quick look at what you actually have. We check each lock's brand and grade — a builder-basic Kwikset off a Reseda tract home rekeys differently than a Schlage or a higher-security cylinder — and count cylinders so the price is settled before any work starts. If a lock is worn out or the wrong grade to rekey, we say so plainly instead of pinning a cylinder that's about to fail.
We cover Lake Balboa and the neighboring Encino and Reseda blocks, and most rekeys are same-day. A standard house — front, back, and a knob or two — usually runs under an hour on site. We carry pins and blanks in the van, so keyed-alike sets and spare copies get cut right there. The line is answered around the clock at (818) 398-9391; mid-move on a Sunday still counts.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey or replace the locks?
If the locks work fine and you just want old keys to stop opening them, rekeying is the move — it's the same hardware re-pinned, at a fraction of new locks. Replace only when a lock is physically worn, broken, or you're stepping up to a higher security grade.
Can you make all my doors open with one key?
Yes, as long as the locks share a brand and keyway. We key them alike so the front deadbolt, knob, side gate, and garage entry all take one key. Mixed brands sometimes need a swap on a lock or two to match them up.
Will the old keys stop working after a rekey?
That's the whole point. Once we re-pin the cylinder, every previous key is dead — the ones the last tenant kept, the spare with an ex-roommate, all of it. Only the new keys we cut will turn the lock.
How is a rekey priced — per cylinder?
Per cylinder, plus a service call. Rekeying five cylinders on one visit is far cheaper per lock than buying five new locks. We quote the full count on arrival, before any pins come out, so there's no surprise at the end.
