When San Luis Obispo Locks Need Rekeying
Rekeying changes which key works with a compatible lock, without automatically replacing the lock hardware. It can make sense when you want to control who has access but the lock itself is still in usable condition.
You lost a house key
A missing key can leave you unsure who might still have access. Rekeying makes the old key no longer operate the rekeyed lock, so you can use new keys instead.
You moved into a home
Previous occupants or other keyholders may still have copies. Have the locks rekeyed to set a new key for the home rather than relying on keys you received at move-in.
A roommate or household member moved out
When access should change, rekeying can update the lock without replacing the full hardware, provided the existing lock can be rekeyed.
A key was shared with a contractor or guest
If you no longer want that key to work, rekeying can change access for the affected lock. Tell us which doors need a new key so we can assess each one.
You want one updated key for several locks
Ask us to check whether the locks can be set to work with the same new key. Compatibility depends on the locks, so we assess them before confirming what can be keyed alike.
What Our San Luis Obispo Lock Rekeying Covers
Our mobile service covers rekeying at your home or business. We look at the lock you want changed and whether its condition and type allow rekeying before proceeding.
- Check the lock and your request — We identify which locks need new keys and check whether the existing hardware is suitable for rekeying.
- Change the lock to work with new keys — For a compatible lock, the rekey changes its keying so the previous key no longer operates it.
- Assess multiple locks — We can evaluate more than one lock at the property and determine whether they can be keyed to the same new key.
- Identify when rekeying is not the right fix — If a lock is damaged or the hardware needs replacement, rekeying alone may not address the problem. We can identify when a separate lock repair or change is needed.
- Rekey residential or business locks — We provide mobile locksmith service for homes and businesses, so you can request lock keying at your property rather than bringing a lock to us.
- Provide warranty coverage — Parts and labor come with at least a 6-month warranty. Keep that coverage in mind when comparing a rekey with a repair or hardware change.

How We Rekey a Lock at Your Property
To get started, call (805) 977-6159 and tell us where the lock is, how many locks need attention, and what prompted the change. That helps us understand whether you need a straightforward rekey or may also have a lock problem to address.
- Tell us which locks need a new key — Share whether the job is at a home or business, how many locks you want rekeyed, and whether you still have a working key. Point out any sticking, damage, or other issue so it can be considered with the rekey request.
- We come to your location — We provide mobile locksmith service in San Luis Obispo and Central Coast towns within 30 miles. Service is open 24/7; arrival within 15 minutes applies inside San Luis Obispo, while towns farther out are served by the next free locksmith.
- We assess the existing hardware — We check the locks you identified to see whether they can be rekeyed and whether their condition calls for a different service. If several locks are involved, we assess each one rather than assuming they all work the same way.
- We rekey the suitable locks — Once the work is agreed, we rekey compatible locks for new keys and check the result with the new key. If the lock needs replacement instead, ask us about a separate lock-change price before that work begins.
What Sets the Lock Rekeying Price
Lock rekeying starts at $55 per lock. The number of locks matters because the price is per lock, and the lock’s type and condition affect whether rekeying is suitable or whether a repair or hardware change is needed instead.
Tell us how many locks you want changed and whether any are damaged or difficult to operate when you call. We can provide a price for the work after understanding what is involved; replacement hardware, if needed, is a separate consideration from rekeying.

Frequently asked questions
Does rekeying make my old key stop working?
Yes, rekeying a compatible lock changes which key operates it, so the previous key will no longer work in that lock. It does not change other locks unless those are rekeyed too.
Can you rekey several locks to use one key?
We can check whether the locks are compatible for one key. Tell us how many locks you have and where they are; we assess each lock before confirming whether they can be keyed alike.
How is locksmith rekeying cost determined?
The number of locks is a key factor because rekeying is priced per lock, and the lock’s type and condition can affect what work is appropriate. If hardware needs repair or replacement, that is different from a standard rekey.
Should I rekey or replace a lock after moving?
Rekeying changes which key operates existing, suitable hardware and can be a practical choice when the lock works properly. Replacing the lock may be needed if the hardware is damaged or you want different hardware.
Can you rekey a lock that is sticking or damaged?
A sticking or damaged lock may need attention beyond rekeying. Tell us what the lock is doing so we can assess whether rekeying is suitable or a repair or replacement is needed.
