How long does rekeying take?

Most homes are done in one visit; the time depends on how many locks there are.

Will my old keys still work?

No. Once a lock is rekeyed, only the new keys open it.

Do you rekey apartments and condos in Encino?

Yes. Most of our apartment and condo rekeys are for owners and people who have just moved in. Renters should check whether the lease needs the landlord's approval.

Yes. OE Lock & Safe holds California BSIS locksmith license LCO 8397.

Lock Rekeying in Encino

Q: Can all my locks use one key?

Compatible locks can. Schlage and Kwikset locks, and Baldwin or electronic locks with a Schlage or Kwikset cylinder, usually can. A lock with a different keyway may need a matching cylinder; we tell you on the phone.

Keep your existing locks. Stop old keys working.

Several locks? One visit.

Most rekey calls cover every door, not just one lock. We do them all in the same visit:

Moving in: the previous owner, agents and contractors may still have keys.
A tenant, roommate or employee moved out.
Keys were lost or stolen.
Too many keys: front, back, side and garage entry on one key.

Can all my locks use one key? Locks of the same brand and keyway can, for example Kwikset with Kwikset or Schlage with Schlage. A lock with a different keyway may need a matching cylinder first. Tell us the brands when you call, and we will say which locks can share a key.

When Encino homeowners call us to rekey

Just moved in

The previous owner, their agent, cleaners and contractors may still hold keys. Rekeying on move-in day closes that gap.

Lost key or someone moved out

A lost key, or a roommate, tenant, nanny or house cleaner who no longer needs access. Rekey and only the new keys work.

Too many keys

Front door, back door, side gate, garage entry: compatible locks can be rekeyed to share one key.

Rekey or replace?

Both retire the old keys. The right choice depends on the condition of your hardware.

Rekey

Keeps your existing locks in place
Old keys stop working
Good when hardware is in solid condition
Usually the lower-cost option

Replace

New lock hardware fitted and tested
Right choice for worn, damaged or dated locks
Lets you upgrade grade, finish or key type
Needed when parts are no longer available

More about this service

Rekeying changes the pins inside the locks you already have, so every old key stops working and a new key takes over. Your hardware stays on the door, which is usually the lower-cost choice when the locks are in good condition.
