About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Van Nuys
Most Van Nuys rekey calls we get sound the same: you just got the keys to a place off one of the streets between the 405 and the Sepulveda Basin, and the previous tenant handed over a ring with four keys and no idea which doors they open. Or a key went missing and you don't love the math on who still has a copy. Rekeying fixes that. We keep your existing deadbolts and knobs and re-pin the cylinder so the old keys quit working and a fresh key takes over. The hardware on your door stays put.
This is the cheaper, faster move when the lock itself is fine and you only need to cut off old access. Older Valley Glen and Raymer apartments often have decent locks under decades of paint, and there's rarely a reason to replace them just to change who can get in.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Van Nuys
When we pull up, the first thing we do is check what you're actually working with. A lot of Van Nuys doors mix brands, so we'll pull a cylinder, look at the pin stack, and tell you straight whether it rekeys cleanly or whether a worn cylinder is better off swapped. If it rekeys, we re-pin it on the spot, cut you new keys, and test the door open and shut a few times before we call it done.
If you want every door on the property running off one key, we match the cylinders so a single key turns the front, back, and side gate. We cover the Valley pretty tightly and same-day is normal here, with someone reachable around the clock at (818) 398-9391. Lockout in progress and you also want a rekey after? We can handle both in one stop instead of two trips.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey or just replace the lock?
If the deadbolt turns smoothly and isn't cracked or rusted, rekeying is the cheaper call since we keep your hardware and only change the pins. We'd steer you to replacement on a Van Nuys door only when the cylinder is worn out, the lock is loose in the frame, or you want to upgrade to a higher-grade deadbolt.
Can you put all my doors on one key?
Yes. We key the cylinders alike so a single key runs your front, back, and side gate. It's a common ask in older Valley Glen and Raymer units where every door came with its own random key. As long as the locks are similar enough we can usually get them all onto one key the same visit.
Will the old keys stop working after a rekey?
That's the whole point. Once we re-pin the cylinder, any key cut to the old pinning won't turn it anymore, so the previous tenant's copies and that mystery ring of extras are dead. Only the new keys we cut for you will open the door.
How much does it cost per cylinder?
Rekeying is priced per cylinder plus the trip out to Van Nuys, and it drops per lock the more doors you do at once, since we're already on site. We'll quote the exact number over the phone once you tell us how many locks and roughly where in the Valley you are. Call (818) 398-9391.
