Lock Rekeying From $25 — licensed residential locksmith in Santa Rosa, CA.
Lock Rekeying Services in Santa Rosa, CA
When you move into a new home on Mendocino Avenue in Santa Rosa, end a tenancy on a rental in Petaluma, or lose your keys at the Healdsburg farmers market, rekeying is the move. We adjust the internal pins of your existing lock cylinder so only new keys work.
When should you rekey your locks?
After moving into a new property — the sellers on Bennett Valley Road had three sets of keys out when they left. After a breakup or roommate change. After losing keys at the Charles M. Schulz Museum or the Santa Rosa Plaza. After a break-in or attempted break-in in Roseland or South Park. After firing an employee who had keys to the office on Fourth Street. Rekeying is faster and cheaper than replacing every lock.
How rekeying works
We remove the lock cylinder, swap the pin tumblers to match a new key profile, reassemble, and test. Your old keys no longer turn. We can also key-alike all locks in your home so one key opens every door — front, back, side, garage entry. Did a 6-lock rekey on a home near Rincon Valley last week. One hour, $150, one key fits everything.
Rekeying vs. replacing locks
If your hardware is in good condition (Grade 2 Schlage, Kwikset SmartKey, etc.), rekeying saves money — $25 per lock vs. $85+ for replacement. The 1980s homes in Rohnert Park and Windsor often have decent Schlage hardware that just needs new pins. If the locks are cheap builder-grade or physically damaged, replacement makes more sense. We look at your locks and tell you which option fits.
