What to Know About Yale Key Replacement and Key Copies
A standard Yale key can often be copied from a working key, but the correct blank and keyway must match the lock. Some keys may be restricted or managed as part of a property’s key system, so the person requesting copies may need to show authorization. Keep any keys, key-control card, or lock documentation that came with your particular Yale product; those details can help identify the right replacement. For a lost or damaged key, we can check the lock and provide Yale key replacement service, including making a new car key on site when all keys are lost.

Where Yale Locks Fit in San Luis Obispo Homes and Businesses
Rental property
A Yale lock can suit a rental where the owner needs to restore key control between tenants. Rekeying can change which key operates the existing lock, when the lock itself is still in suitable condition.
Family home
Keyed deadbolts and electronic or smart locks offer options for a home’s entry doors. We check the existing door and lock setup before recommending Yale lock installation, so the selected hardware fits the opening and the way you use the entry.
Office or storefront
Yale products include lock options for business doors, where access needs may differ from a home’s. We inspect the lock and door operation first, then identify whether repair, rekeying, or a replacement better addresses the issue.
When Yale Lock Repair, Rekeying, or Replacement Makes Sense
Repair a Yale lock that is not working
Choose repair when the lock is still appropriate for the door but a key sticks, the mechanism feels rough, or the hardware has a specific fault. We examine how the key and lock operate and check the door’s alignment, since door pressure can affect how a lock turns.
Rekey the existing lock
Rekeying fits when you want old keys to stop working but the lock can remain in place. We change the lock’s keying to work with a new key rather than replacing the full lock; see our lock rekeying service for details.
Replace the lock
Replacement makes sense when the lock is damaged, worn beyond a practical repair, or no longer suits the door or access needs. We check the existing hardware and door before fitting a Yale replacement, and the lock change price starts at $85 plus hardware.

Frequently asked questions
Should I repair or replace my Yale lock in San Luis Obispo?
Repair may fit when the lock is intact and the problem is limited to its operation; replacement may make more sense if the lock is damaged or no longer fits the door or access needs. We check the lock and door together, since a misaligned door can make a working lock feel faulty.
Why does my Yale key stick or refuse to turn?
A sticking key can point to wear or an issue inside the lock, but door pressure or misalignment can also make the key hard to turn. Avoid forcing the key, which can leave it broken in the lock; we can inspect the lock and door at your San Luis Obispo address.
Can you rekey my Yale lock without replacing it?
Yes, we can rekey a Yale lock when its condition and design allow the existing hardware to remain in place. Rekeying changes which key operates the lock, so you can address lost keys or a change in access without automatically replacing the lock.
Can I get extra keys cut for my Yale lock?
Often, yes, when the key is a standard type and the matching blank is available. Some keys may be restricted or part of a managed key system, so keep any documentation or key-control card and be ready to show authorization if required.

Yes. We provide mobile house, business, and car lockout service; lockouts start at $55. Call (805) 977-6159 and tell us where you are and what is locked, so we can identify the right service.
