About the service
Professional Lock Change in West Hills
Just closed on a place off Valley Circle, or moved into one of the older ranch tracts in West Hills? Changing the locks is the first thing worth doing — you never know how many keys the last owner handed out. A worn deadbolt that grinds and sticks is the other common reason people call, since a lot of hardware on these 1960s and 70s homes is still the original.
A full change isn't always the answer. If the lock still turns smoothly and you just want fresh keys, a rekey is cheaper. We replace the whole unit when the hardware is failing, when you want a higher security grade, or when a builder-grade lock could be beaten with a screwdriver — worth it on a foothill lot or a gated Bell Canyon home.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in West Hills
When the tech pulls up, before anything gets swapped he looks at the door itself — the backset, the bore size, how thick the slab is, and whether the strike plate and frame are still solid. A new deadbolt bolted into a split jamb is a false sense of security, so if the wood is cracked we say so and reinforce it rather than paper over it.
West Hills sits at the far western edge of the Valley, so we give you a straight arrival window instead of a fake ten-minute promise. A standard front-and-back change runs well under an hour; keying everything to one key adds a few minutes. We carry common grades on the van and answer the phone at (818) 398-9391 around the clock.

Common questions
FAQ
Is it better to change the locks or just rekey them?
If the lock still works and you only want to lock out old keys — say you just moved in — a rekey is the cheaper fix; we keep your hardware and re-pin it to a new key. Change the lock when it's worn, sticking, low-grade, or you want a real security upgrade. On a house where the last owner's keys are floating around and the deadbolt is decades old, most people do both: change the front, rekey the rest.
Which lock grade should I get?
Grades run from 1 (strongest) to 3. For the exterior doors of a West Hills home we usually put in a Grade 1 or solid Grade 2 deadbolt — they stand up to kick-ins and to the dry heat and grit out here far better than the builder-grade unit most tract houses shipped with. Interior or garage-to-house doors can take a lighter grade. We show you the options and prices before anything goes on.
How long does a lock change take?
A single deadbolt is usually 15 to 20 minutes. A typical front-and-back change, keyed alike, is well under an hour once the tech is at your door. If a frame is split or the old bore is an odd size, it takes a little longer, because we fix that properly instead of forcing the new lock into a bad opening.
Can all my locks open with the same key?
Yes — it's called keying alike, and it's the most requested add-on. As long as the locks are compatible hardware, we pin them all to one key so you're not juggling a ring at the door. If you'd rather keep the garage or a side gate on its own separate key, we can set it up that way too.
