Lock Rekey in San Francisco, CA

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

4.9 · Licensed, bonded & insured

Lock Rekey in San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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.

If a lock is worn out or you want an upgrade, we'll tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense than a rekey.
