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.

Should I rekey after moving into a home in Gardena?

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.

How SoCal Lock & Key Approaches Master Key Systems

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.
