Situations Requiring Immediate Rekeying

An emergency lock rekeying service is crucial in a variety of urgent scenarios:

• After a Break-In or Burglary: For your immediate safety and to deter further attempts, rekeying is a critical first step after a security breach.
• Tenant Turnover: If you’re a landlord or property manager, rekeying locks between tenants is essential to ensure the security of your property and the privacy of new occupants.
• Unwanted Access: If you suspect someone has a copy of your key without your permission, rekeying is the quickest way to regain control.
• Malfunctioning Locks: While not always an emergency, a lock that is sticking, jamming, or difficult to operate can become an emergency if it prevents you from securing your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Lock Rekeying

Q1: What is lock rekeying and how does it differ from replacing a lock?

A: Lock rekeying involves changing the internal pins and springs of your existing lock cylinder so that it operates with a new set of keys. The old keys will no longer work. Lock replacement involves removing the entire lock mechanism and installing a brand new one. Rekeying is typically faster, less expensive, and a great solution when your existing hardware is still in good condition.

Q2: How quickly can BH Locksmith respond to an emergency rekeying request in Santa Barbara?

A: We are a 24-hour emergency service and strive to reach our customers in Santa Barbara as quickly as possible. Our response times are among the fastest in the industry, often within 30-60 minutes, depending on your exact location and current service calls.

Q3: What information do I need to provide when calling for emergency rekeying?

A: When you call us, please be ready to provide your name, the exact address where you need service, a brief description of the emergency situation, and your contact phone number. This helps us dispatch the right technician and prepare for your specific needs.

Q4: Is emergency lock rekeying more expensive than a regular service call?

A: While emergency services often incur a slightly higher fee due to the after-hours or urgent nature of the call, we maintain competitive and transparent pricing. We will always provide you with a clear estimate before we begin any work, ensuring there are no surprises.
