Professional Lock Rekeying in Bakersfield & Kern County

What Is Lock Rekeying?

Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinder so that all old keys stop working. You get brand new keys — without replacing the lock hardware. It is the smartest and most affordable choice when your lock is in good condition but you need to change who has access.

Rekeying is performed by our licensed mobile technicians on-site at your Bakersfield home or business. Most rekeying jobs are completed in under an hour, even for multiple doors.

When Should You Rekey Your Locks in Bakersfield?

  • Just moved into a new home or apartment in Bakersfield
  • Lost a key or had one stolen
  • After a breakup or roommate situation changes
  • After a tenant moves out of a rental property
  • After a business employee leaves — especially on bad terms
  • After a break-in attempt or security incident
  • Inherited a property in Bakersfield or Kern County

Rekeying vs. Replacing — Which Is Right for You?

Rekey if your lock hardware is in good condition and you just need to change who has access. It is faster and much cheaper than replacement.

Replace if your hardware is worn, damaged, or you want to upgrade to a higher security level or switch to a smart lock.
