About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Malibu
You just closed on a place off Pacific Coast Highway and the seller handed over two keys. That tells you nothing. A Malibu house usually has copies out with the housekeeper, the pool service, and whoever ran the last remodel. Rekeying fixes it without touching your hardware: we swap the pins in each cylinder so a new key works and every old copy stops turning.
It matters here because Malibu doors rarely wear cheap hardware. A solid brass mortise set costs more than the whole rekey visit, and salt air has aged its finish to match the door — keep it, change the pins. Locksmith HQ 24/7 rekeys homes, guest houses, and gates from the Topanga side to the county line: (818) 398-9391.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Malibu
First move on arrival is a walk-through to count cylinders — entry, garage side door, guest house, pool gate, mailbox. On spread-out Malibu lots the driveway gate is the lock everyone forgets. We pull each cylinder, check pins and springs for salt corrosion, flush anything gritty, then repin the whole set to one fresh key wherever the keyways allow.
Timing is honest math on PCH. Near the Civic Center or Pepperdine we can usually land in 30 to 45 minutes; past Point Dume toward the county line, or up a canyon road, figure closer to an hour — longer when the highway drops to one lane. The rekey itself takes 45 to 90 minutes for a typical house. We cover 90263, 90264, and 90265 around the clock.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey or replace the locks on a Malibu house?
Rekey if the hardware is sound — and on most Malibu doors it is, often a better set than anything a hardware store sells. We change the pins so old keys die and you keep the hardware. We'll suggest replacement only when marine corrosion has actually seized a cylinder, which we check on-site before quoting anything.
Can you put every door, gate, and the guest house on one key?
Usually, yes. If the cylinders share a keyway, the whole property goes onto a single key — main house, guest house, pool gate. Mixed brands sometimes need one or two cylinders swapped to match, and we flag those before we start rather than surprise you after.
Do the old keys really stop working right away?
Instantly. Once new pins are in, the housekeeper's copy, the contractor's copy, and whatever the previous owner never returned are scrap metal. We test each door with an old key in front of you before we leave so there is no doubt.
How is a rekey priced — per lock or per visit?
Per cylinder, plus the service call to reach you on PCH. The per-lock price drops as the count goes up, so rekeying the whole property in one visit beats doing it piecemeal. Mortise and high-security cylinders run a little more than standard pins, and you get the exact number before any lock comes apart.
