About the service
Professional Lock Change in Ojai
You just closed on an older place off the Ojai Avenue flats, and the front door still opens with whoever-owned-it-before's keys. Or the deadbolt has gone gritty after years of valley dust and hard summer sun, and you lift the door to get the bolt to throw. Or the sellers handed you two keys and swore that was all of them.
Those are the moments people here stop rekeying and want the whole lock gone. Locksmith HQ 24/7 changes locks across the valley — homes near downtown, ranch properties out east, and the rentals that turn over between guests. When the mechanism is worn or the grade is builder-basic, new hardware beats reusing tired parts. Call (818) 398-9391.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Ojai
When we get to your door, the first thing we check is what you actually have — the backset, the bore size, whether it's a standard residential deadbolt or the older mortise lock common in pre-war homes near downtown. Ojai's swing from hot afternoons to cool nights warps some doors, so we confirm the new bolt lines up with the strike before we call it finished.
We cover the whole valley — Ojai proper, plus Meiners Oaks, Mira Monte, and Oak View — usually same day, and around the clock if you're locked out with no working key. A single exterior swap often runs under half an hour once the parts check out; a full house matched to one key takes longer. Call (818) 398-9391 for a real window.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I change the lock or just rekey it?
Rekey if the hardware is solid and you only need the old keys to stop working — it's cheaper and leaves your door untouched. Change the lock when the mechanism is worn, sticky, a low builder grade, or you want a look and security level you chose yourself. On the older homes around Ojai's downtown, we usually lean toward changing tired hardware rather than nursing it along.
Which lock grade do I need?
Grades run from 1 (strongest) to 3. For a front or side entry we typically put in an ANSI Grade 1 or a good Grade 2 deadbolt; interior and low-traffic doors can take Grade 3. If you're out in the East End or leaving a place empty between visits, the higher grade is worth the small difference in cost.
How long does a lock change take?
A single exterior lock is usually under 30 minutes once we confirm the new hardware matches the door's prep. A whole house — front, back, side, garage — runs longer, and older doors that need the bore or strike adjusted add a little time. We give you the window before we start, not after.
Can all my locks open with one key?
Yes. As long as the locks share the same brand and keyway, we can key them alike so one key runs every door — front, back, and side. We set that up during the install. If your current locks are a mix of brands, we'll tell you which ones can join the set and which need swapping to match.
