Bay Area Lock And Key is your local specialist for Lock Rekey in San Pablo. From the first call to the final test, you get a licensed professional, non-destructive methods where possible, and pricing you approve up front — no surprises.
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 San Pablo Chooses Bay Area Lock And Key for Lock Rekey
San Pablo customers choose us because we combine big-company reliability with local, personal service. Every technician is licensed, bonded and insured, arrives in a marked, fully-stocked van, and treats your property with care. We quote before we work, we finish in one visit whenever we can, and we stand behind everything we do.
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

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.

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.
