About the service
Professional Lock Change in Woodland Hills
You closed on a house south of Ventura Boulevard, got handed one worn key, and have no idea how many copies the last few owners cut over the years. That's the lock-change call we get most in Woodland Hills. The other: a mid-century ranch whose original deadbolt has gone gritty and whose latch drags every time the summer heat swells the door.
A lock change means we take the old hardware off completely and mount new cylinders and deadbolts, not just re-pin what's there. It's the right move when your locks are worn, mismatched, or a thin builder-grade brand you'd rather not trust on a street where cars sit in the driveway all night.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Woodland Hills
When the tech pulls up, the first thing he does is count doors and read what's already on them: backset, bore size, whether the strike plates are chewed up, and whether a rekey would honestly save you money over a full swap. On a standard front-and-back setup we carry Grade 2 and Grade 1 deadbolts on the van, so you choose the security level on the spot instead of driving to a hardware store.
Most single-home changes wrap in under an hour; a Warner Center condo or a bigger Canoga Park house with four or five entry points takes longer. We key every new lock alike, so one key runs the whole place, and we work the west Valley day or night. Call (818) 398-9391, tell us how many doors, and we'll bring the right hardware the first time.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I change the lock or just rekey it?
If the hardware itself is solid and you only want to lock out old keys after moving in, a rekey is cheaper and faster. A full change makes sense when the lock is worn, the finish is corroded, it's a thin builder-grade brand, or you want a higher security grade. On an older Woodland Hills ranch with 1960s hardware that drags in the summer heat, a change usually wins.
Which lock grade should I pick?
Grades run from 3 (basic) to 2 (mid, good for most homes) to 1 (commercial-strength). For a typical Woodland Hills single-family, Grade 2 deadbolts are the sweet spot. Warner Center units or hillside homes that want more pry and kick resistance go Grade 1. We keep both on the van so you decide when we're there.
How long does a lock change take?
One door is about 15 to 20 minutes. A standard front, back and side runs under an hour. A larger Canoga Park house with several entries can take one to two hours, and most of that extra time is aligning strike plates on doors that have shifted in their frames over the years.
Can all my locks use the same key?
Yes. We key every new lock alike so one key opens the front, back and side. If you're keeping a lock or two that we didn't replace, bring them out and we can usually match those to the same key, so you walk away with one key for the whole place.
