Buying an older home near downtown Santa Paula usually means inheriting a key history you can't account for. The sellers, their relatives, a couple of contractors during the last remodel, the neighbor who watered the plants, who knows how many copies of that front-door key are floating around. Rekeying is the simple fix. We keep your existing locks but change the pins inside so every old key stops working, and you walk away with fresh keys only you carry. Brad can usually knock it out in one visit.
It's almost always the smarter move over buying all new hardware, especially on a historic property where the original lockset is part of the door's character. We can match several doors to a single key so you carry one for the front, the back, and the side gate instead of a heavy ring. We rekey homes all over Santa Paula, from the older streets by the California Oil Museum to the ranch and ag properties out past the edge of town. Most jobs are quick, and you get a free estimate before we start. We're licensed and insured, CA BSIS #LCO8562.
Rekeying also makes sense when life changes, not just when you move in. A tenant moved out of the back unit, a ranch hand left, you handed a key to a dog walker last spring and never got it back. Whatever the reason, call (818) 454-1047 or the local line (805) 657-8997 and we'll reset your locks so the only working keys are the ones in your pocket.
