A Closer Look at Lost House Key Service

Rekeying is one of the smartest, most cost-effective security moves a homeowner or business owner can make. Instead of buying and installing brand-new locks, we simply change the internal pin configuration of your existing cylinders so that a new key works and every old key is instantly retired.

It's fast, affordable, and it puts you back in control of exactly who can open your doors — which matters more than most people realize, because you can never really be sure how many copies of an old key are out there in the hands of previous owners, tenants, contractors, or anyone they handed a key to.

We accept major credit and debit cards and other common payment methods. You'll receive a clear receipt for the work performed.

How fast can you get to Athens?

Because SoCal Lock & Key runs mobile technicians throughout the South Bay, our typical arrival time in Athens is about 15 to 30 minutes, traffic permitting. For emergencies we always dispatch the closest available van right away. Call (888) 887-7838 and we'll give you a realistic ETA on the spot.

Do you serve areas near Athens?

We do. In addition to Athens, we cover the surrounding South Bay and much of Los Angeles County. If you're nearby, there's a very good chance we already work on your street.

Should I rekey after moving into a home in Athens?

Yes, it's one of the smartest first moves. You have no way to know how many copies of the previous key exist, so rekeying gives you full control of who can enter.

What's the difference between rekeying and changing a lock?

Rekeying keeps your existing lock but changes its internal pins so old keys stop working — it's fast and economical. Changing the lock swaps the whole unit, which you'd choose if the lock is worn or you want an upgrade.

Can you rekey all my locks to a single key?

We can, as long as the locks share a compatible keyway. Keying alike means one convenient key opens every door you want.
