About the service
Professional Lock Rekey in Woodland Hills
You closed on a house off Mulholland or signed a lease near Warner Center, and the agent handed you a baggie of keys. The problem is you have no idea who else owns a copy – the prior owner, their cleaner, a roommate from three tenants back. Rekeying fixes that without buying new hardware. We pop the cylinder, swap the pin stack, and cut you fresh keys. The old ones go dead the moment we finish.
It is the cheap, sensible move for a lot of Woodland Hills situations: a recent move-in, a lost copy that never turned up, or a remodel where the contractor's crew had run of the place for weeks. If your Kwikset, Schlage, or Baldwin locks still throw smoothly, there is rarely a reason to replace them. We keep the door you like and just change who can open it.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Woodland Hills
We come to you – whether that is a hillside place above the 101, a condo near the Village, or a rental over by Serrania Park. First we walk the doors with you and count cylinders: front entry, side gate to the yard, the door from the garage, maybe a back slider with a keyed bolt. Most homes here land somewhere between three and six. We tell you the per-cylinder price before any tools come out, so there are no surprises.
Then the actual work, which is quick. Each lock comes apart on a towel on your counter, gets repinned to a brand-new key code, and goes back on the door. A typical rekey runs about 5 to 10 minutes per cylinder, so a whole house is usually done in well under an hour. We test every key in every door, hand you the set, and confirm the old keys no longer turn anything. Same-day across Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, and Warner Center.

Common questions
FAQ
Should I rekey or just replace the locks?
If your locks still work fine – the bolt throws cleanly, the key isn't sticking – rekeying is the better deal. You keep good Schlage or Baldwin hardware and only change the pins, which costs a fraction of new locks. We'd steer you toward replacement only if a cylinder is worn out, the finish is failing, or you specifically want to upgrade to a higher grade or a smart lock.
Can you make all my doors open with one key?
Yes, and it's the most common request we get on move-ins around Woodland Hills. As long as the locks are the same keyway – most Kwikset together, most Schlage together – we can key them all alike so a single key runs the front door, the garage door, and the side gate. If you've got a mix of brands, we'll tell you on-site what can be combined.
Will the old keys really stop working after a rekey?
Completely. Once we repin a cylinder to a new code, any key cut to the old code won't turn it – that's the whole point. So the previous owner's keys, the copy a former tenant never returned, the spare a contractor borrowed – all of them are dead the moment we reassemble the lock and test it with your new keys.
What does it cost per cylinder?
Rekeying is priced per cylinder, and it drops sharply once we're already on-site for several doors – the trip is the same whether it's one lock or six. We quote the exact per-cylinder rate before starting once we've seen your hardware. Standard residential cylinders are inexpensive; high-security or restricted-keyway locks cost more because the pins and keys are specialty parts.
