How the Lock Rekeying Process Works

Rekeying locks means altering the internal pins so that only a new key works making old keys useless. It’s a simple yet highly effective solution for enhancing security without replacing the entire lock system. This is especially useful for rental properties, offices with changing staff, or homeowners who recently moved. Our locksmiths inspect the condition of each lock before proceeding. If the hardware is worn or outdated, we’ll recommend an upgrade, but if it’s still in good condition, rekeying is a cost-efficient way to achieve full control over who has access to your property.

“Just moved into a place off Brookhurst and had no clue how many key copies the previous owners handed out over the years. Called Golden Locks, Inc. and they sent someone out the same day. Rekeyed all three exterior doors quickly, explained what they were doing, and left me with two fresh sets of keys. Great first experience.”
