Lock Rekey vs. Lock Replacement in Los Angeles

Many Los Angeles homeowners wonder whether they should rekey or replace. Here's the simple comparison:

• Rekey: Keeps existing hardware, changes internal pins, new keys issued. Cost: typically $15-25 per lock. Best when locks are in good condition.
• Replace: Entirely new lock hardware installed. Cost: $50-200+ per lock. Best when locks are damaged, worn, or you want an upgrade.

For most Los Angeles residents, rekeying is the right choice. Your existing locks are probably in fine shape — you just need new keys and peace of mind.
