Lock Installation and Rekeys

Lost Coast Lock & Key can install new lock hardware or rekey existing hardware on your home or rental property.

New Lock Installation

Installing a lock involves securing a locking mechanism onto a door to control access and enhance security. Proper installation ensures the lock functions smoothly and provides maximum protection against unauthorized entry.

Upgrading locks is essential for security, convenience, and durability. Here’s why:

Enhanced Security: Older locks may be vulnerable to picking, bumping, or forced entry. Upgrading to high-security or smart locks improves protection.
Lost or Compromised Keys: If keys are lost or stolen, replacing or rekeying locks prevents unauthorized access.
Wear & Tear: Locks degrade over time, leading to malfunctions or weak security. Replacing them ensures reliability.
Smart Technology Integration: Modern locks offer keyless entry, remote access, and biometric authentication, improving convenience.
Moving to a New Home: Previous owners or tenants may still have keys. Installing new locks ensures exclusive access to your property.

Lock Rekeying

Rekeying a lock means changing the internal mechanism so that it works with a new key while keeping the existing lock hardware. Instead of replacing the entire lock, a locksmith adjusts the pins inside the lock cylinder to match a different key, rendering old keys useless.

Why Rekey a Lock?

Lost or stolen keys – Prevent unauthorized access.
Moving into a new home – Ensure previous owners or tenants no longer have access.
Security concerns – Upgrade protection without replacing locks.
Key consolidation – Make multiple locks work with a single key for convenience.

Rekeying is a cost-effective way to enhance security without replacing the entire lock.
