Lock Rekey in Union City, CA

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

4.9 · Licensed, bonded & insured

Bay Area Lock And Key is your local specialist for Lock Rekey in Union City. 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 Union City Chooses Bay Area Lock And Key for Lock Rekey

Union City 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.

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.
