Lock Rekey in Fairfax, CA

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

4.9 · Licensed, bonded & insured

When you need Lock Rekey in Fairfax, you want a locksmith who answers fast, shows up quickly and fixes the problem right the first time. Bay Area Lock And Key delivers exactly that — fully-mobile lock rekey service backed by licensed, insured technicians and honest, upfront pricing.

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.

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
  • New working keys

  • Advice on rekey vs. replacement

How Our Lock Rekey Process Works

  1. 1

    Identify the locks

    We confirm your locks are rekeyable and count the cylinders.

    Rekey the pins

    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.

  4. 4

    Test & hand off

    We test each lock and hand you the new keys.

What to expect when we arrive

When our technician arrives at your Fairfax location, you can expect a professional, uniformed locksmith in a marked vehicle who greets you, listens to the problem, and confirms the agreed price before starting. There is no pressure and no upselling — just a clear explanation of what we recommend and why. We keep our work area tidy, protect your property, and walk you through everything before we leave, including how to keep the issue from recurring.

Good locksmithing is about doing the small things right — clean cuts, correct components, proper alignment and a final test before we leave. We take that care on every lock rekey job in Fairfax, because the details are what separate a lasting fix from a temporary patch.

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.
