Rekey your locks in Westminster, CA

Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so old keys no longer work, while your existing handles and deadbolts stay on the door. It's the most direct way to take back control of who can get in.

When rekeying makes sense

  • You just moved in
  • Keys lost or stolen
  • Roommate or tenant left
  • Staff change
  • Contractors had keys
  • You want one key for every door

How rekeying works

Inside a pin-tumbler lock are small pins of different lengths. Your key lifts them to exactly the right height so the cylinder turns. To rekey, we take the cylinder out, replace the pins with a new set, and cut new keys to match. Any old key now lifts the pins to the wrong height and the lock stays shut.

Rekey or replace?

Rekey when the locks are in good condition and the only goal is to cancel old keys. Replace when the lock is worn, damaged, low grade or you want a smart or high-security upgrade. We'll tell you which applies to each door. For homes, see why rekey when moving; for businesses, ask about master key systems.

Frequently asked questions

Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?

Usually, because you keep your existing hardware and only the pins and keys change. We'll quote both options if you're unsure.

Can every lock be rekeyed?

Most pin-tumbler locks can. Some very old, damaged or specialty locks can't, and then replacement is the better choice.
