About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in North Hollywood
You just signed a lease on a NoHo apartment, and the landlord handed over two keys that look like they've been copied since the nineties. In a neighborhood where roommates rotate constantly and so many of the buildings between Lankershim and Vineland are older fourplexes and dingbats, nobody really knows how many copies of your front door key are out there.
Rekeying fixes that without replacing anything. We pull each cylinder, swap the pins, and cut fresh keys — every old copy goes dead on the spot. It costs a fraction of new hardware, and if you own a duplex or a bungalow off Magnolia, we can put every door on a single key while we're there. Call Locksmith HQ 24/7 at (818) 398-9391.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in North Hollywood
The first thing our tech does at your door is read the hardware. Kwikset, Schlage, maybe an old Weiser on the back door — each brand has its own keyway, and that decides whether every lock can share one key or whether a cylinder needs swapping first. We also flag anything not worth rekeying; a deadbolt that has been drilled before should simply be replaced, and we will say so before touching it.
North Hollywood is home turf — our techs cross Lankershim all day — so most rekey calls get a short arrival window, often twenty to thirty minutes. Three or four cylinders usually take under an hour, keys are cut on the truck, and evenings and weekends run the same price.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey my locks or replace them?
Rekey if the hardware is in decent shape — most locks on NoHo apartments and postwar bungalows repin just fine, and you keep the existing hardware for a lot less money. Replace only if a lock is damaged, badly worn, or you want to move up to heavier-grade hardware. Our tech checks each one on arrival and tells you which is which.
Can you make all my doors work on one key?
Yes, as long as the locks share a keyway — all Kwikset or all Schlage, for example. If your front door is one brand and the garage side door is another, we swap one cylinder so everything matches. It's a common request on NoHo duplexes where the owner is tired of carrying four keys.
Do the old keys stop working right away?
Immediately. Once the pins are changed, every previous copy is useless — whoever the last tenant gave keys to, whatever's still on a neighbor's hook, none of it opens your door anymore. That's exactly why we recommend rekeying the same day you get possession of a new place.
How is a rekey priced?
Per cylinder, plus the service call. A knob and deadbolt on the same door count as two cylinders. Keying everything alike doesn't add anything per cylinder, and it's always cheaper than buying new locks. Call (818) 398-9391 with a count of your doors and we'll quote the total before a truck rolls.
