4.9 · Licensed, bonded & insured

For Lock Rekey in Redwood City, Redwood City residents and businesses turn to Bay Area Lock And Key. Our mobile technicians reach you quickly, carry the tools to finish most jobs on the spot, and quote a clear price before any work begins.

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.
