About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Simi Valley
You just closed on a house off one of Simi's quiet cul-de-sacs, or a tenant moved out of your rental, and now you're holding a key ring you didn't choose. The previous owner handed copies to a gardener, a neighbor, a few relatives. Rekeying fixes that: we keep your deadbolts and knobs and re-pin the cylinders so every old key stops working the same afternoon.
Simi is built largely on 70s and 80s tract homes with solid builder hardware, Kwikset and Schlage that's usually worth keeping. That's what makes rekey the smart call here. You're not buying new locks you don't need; you're resetting who has access, one key for every door, and the guessing about who still holds a copy is over.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Simi Valley
When we roll up, the tech starts by counting cylinders. A typical Simi single-story near the 118 has a front deadbolt, an entry knob, a garage-to-house door, and sometimes a slider or side gate. We check whether they're all the same brand, because putting them on one key depends on compatible keyways. Then we pull each cylinder, swap the pins, and cut fresh keys right there.
Most three-to-five-door homes are done in under an hour. We cover all of Simi Valley plus the corridor over Santa Susana Pass toward Chatsworth, and we run around the clock, so a lost-key lockout at 2am gets the same careful rekey as a planned move-in. Call (818) 398-9391 and a tech confirms your arrival window before we head out.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey or just replace the locks?
If the hardware on your Simi home works and still looks decent, which most builder-grade deadbolts here do, rekeying is cheaper and just as secure. Replace only when a lock is worn out, you want a higher security grade, or the finish no longer matches the door. For a straightforward move-in, rekey is almost always the better value.
Can you make all my doors open with one key?
Usually, yes, as long as the cylinders share a compatible keyway. Plenty of Simi homes run all-Kwikset or all-Schlage, so a single key for the front, back, and garage door is routine. If a mismatched lock got swapped in over the years, we'll either rekey a matching cylinder or tell you which door needs new hardware first.
Will the old keys still work after you rekey?
No. Rekeying changes the pin configuration inside the cylinder, so every key cut to the old code, the gardener's, the previous owner's, whoever's, stops turning the moment we finish. That's the whole point: you keep the locks you already have, but you become the only one who can open them.
How is rekeying priced, per lock?
It's generally priced per cylinder, plus a service call to reach your part of Simi Valley. The more doors you rekey in one visit, the lower the per-cylinder cost, since we're already on site. Call (818) 398-9391 and we'll give you a flat number for your exact door count before any work starts.
Of course! We do offer services for smart locks and can help troubleshoot or replace them if needed to ensure your home security system is up and running smoothly.
