Lock Rekey in Alameda, CA

Rekey your locks so old keys stop working — a fast, affordable alternative to replacing hardware. Serving all of Alameda and Alameda County.

4.9 · Licensed, bonded & insured

Lock Rekey in Alameda should be simple: one call, a fast arrival, and a job done properly. That is how Bay Area Lock And Key works every day, serving Alameda homes, businesses and drivers with mobile, on-site service.

Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock so it works with a brand-new key and the old keys no longer function — all without replacing the lock itself. It's the fastest, most affordable way to take control of who can enter, which is why it's the first thing we recommend after you move into a home, lose a key, or turn over a rental.

Why Alameda Chooses Bay Area Lock And Key for Lock Rekey

We earn Alameda's trust one job at a time: upfront pricing, damage-free workmanship, and technicians who actually know the hardware on your doors and vehicles. When you call us for lock rekey, you are getting a careful professional, not a rushed subcontractor.

Because rekeying reuses your existing hardware, it costs a fraction of buying new locks and takes only minutes per cylinder. We can also key multiple locks alike so one key runs your whole home or business. If a lock is worn out or you want an upgrade, we'll tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense than a rekey.

  • Rekeying of existing locks
  • Keyed-alike setups

How Our Lock Rekey Process Works

    We re-pin each cylinder to a new key code on-site.

  3. 3

    Key alike (optional)

    We can set every lock to open with one shared key.

What to expect when we arrive

From the moment we pull up to your Alameda address, our goal is to make the experience easy. Our technician introduces themselves, evaluates the job, and reconfirms your upfront price.

Key Benefits

  • Old keys instantly stop working
  • Much cheaper than replacing locks
  • Key multiple locks alike to one key
  • Fast — minutes per cylinder
  • Great for move-ins, lost keys and turnovers

We use quality parts and proven techniques, not the cheapest hardware we can find. When a job calls for new components, we fit dependable, name-brand products sized correctly for your door or vehicle, so the repair lasts and keeps you secure well into the future.

A little prevention goes a long way. Once we have handled the immediate need, we are glad to point out simple steps that reduce the odds of a repeat — a spare key kept somewhere safe, a small hardware upgrade on a vulnerable door, or a quick adjustment that keeps a lock operating smoothly. Our aim is a lasting solution and a customer who feels genuinely looked after, not a quick job and a future callback.
