Should I rekey when I move into a new house?

Absolutely. The previous owners, agents, and contractors may still have working keys. Rekeying on move-in day is a fast, affordable way to make sure only your keys open the doors.

Can you rekey all my house locks to one key?

Yes. We can key your front, back, side, and garage-entry locks alike so a single key opens every door, as long as the cylinders are compatible.

Is rekeying cheaper than changing all my locks?

In most cases, yes. Rekeying reuses your existing hardware and only resets the pins, so it's typically cheaper and faster than replacing every lock — ideal when your locks are in good shape.

How fast can you come out?

We confirm an arrival window when you call.

How much does it cost to rekey a house?

For residential rekeying, get an estimate on the phone before we come out, with the final price based on how many locks. We give a free estimate over the phone and confirm the exact price before starting. There is a $49 service call, waived when you go ahead with the work.

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.

Rekey your home when access changes

Moving into a house or condo

Rekey the exterior locks so copies held by previous occupants no longer open the rekeyed cylinders.

A lost key or household change

A roommate, cleaner or tenant no longer needs access. Tell us which home doors need new keys.

Several home locks, fewer keys

Count each keyed cylinder, including a knob and deadbolt separately. Compatible locks can share a key; we check before quoting.

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

More about this service

When you move into a new home, lose a key, or have someone move out, you shouldn't have to wonder who still has a working key. Residential rekeying resets the pins inside your existing locks so every old key stops working and a fresh key takes over — without the cost of buying all-new hardware.

OE Lock & Safe rekeys homes throughout the Los Angeles area, often keying the compatible locks alike so one key opens them all. It's the affordable, fast way for homeowners and landlords to secure a property.
