About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Ojai
Maybe you just closed on a house in the Ojai Valley and the sellers handed over a sandwich bag of unlabeled keys. Or you run a weekend rental near the Arcade and can't say how many copies past guests, cleaners, and an old property manager still carry. Rekeying solves it without swapping hardware: we change the pins inside each cylinder, cut fresh keys, and every old copy stops working immediately.
Ojai properties collect doors — main house, guest cottage, studio, a gate out to the orchard — and many wear original hardware that suits the place. A rekey keeps it. Where keyways match, we pin everything to one key, so a single cut runs the whole property. Locksmith HQ 24/7: (818) 398-9391.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Ojai
We start by walking the doors with you and sorting the cylinders: brand, keyway, condition. Older Ojai houses sometimes hide a mortise lock or a corroded cylinder behind a handsome plate, and the valley's dry heat is rough on exterior brass, so the odd door may need more than pins. Everything healthy gets rekeyed on the spot — cylinder out, old pins dumped, a new stack matched to a fresh key, tested before we move to the next door.
We usually come up Highway 33 from the Ventura side and cover the whole valley, from downtown out to Meiners Oaks, Mira Monte, and Upper Ojai along 150. Plan on roughly 30 to 45 minutes for a scheduled visit; a five- or six-cylinder house takes about an hour of actual work. Nights and weekends too: (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey my locks or replace them?
If the hardware is solid — and a lot of Ojai hardware is older but well made — rekeying is the cheaper move: same lock, new pins, old keys dead. We only push replacement when a cylinder is worn out, corroded from sun exposure, or you want to step up to a heavier deadbolt.
Can you put all my doors on one key?
Usually, yes. If your cylinders share a keyway — all Kwikset-style or all Schlage-style, say — we pin them to a single key, guest cottage and gate included. Mixed brands just mean swapping a cylinder or two so everything matches before we pin.
Do the old keys really stop working?
Instantly. Once the new pins go in, the old cut won't turn the cylinder at all. That covers past rental guests, a former cleaner, the previous owner's bag of spares — every copy floating around town goes dead at the same moment.
How is a rekey priced per cylinder?
You pay per cylinder plus the service trip, which lands well below replacing hardware door for door. We give the exact quote after the walk-through, because Ojai houses often mix decades of hardware and one old mortise lock can change the picture.
