Why Preston Locksmith & Security Is Mayflower Village’s Preferred Rekey Locks Company

We’re not the locksmith that shows up in an unmarked car with no uniform and a price that changes at the door. Kevin Yoon, who runs Preston Locksmith & Security, built the whole operation around a simple promise: the price you agree to on the phone is the price on the invoice. Period.

Every technician we send into Mayflower Village is background-checked, uniformed, and arrives with a live arrival time you can track. That’s the Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it’s not a marketing line. It’s a written commitment that includes before-and-after photos of every job and a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the rekey isn’t right, we come back free and make it right. No argument, no second invoice.

Mayflower Village residents tell us the same thing again and again: they’ve been burned by locksmiths who quote one number on the phone and then show up with a trip charge, an emergency fee, and a “parts adjustment” that triples the total. That doesn’t happen with us. You’ll know the full price before a tool leaves our bag.

We also know the local terrain. Dispatch to Mayflower Village is coordinated from our Los Angeles office, but our crews work this area daily, and that shows in how quickly we arrive and how well we know the housing stock here.

Rekey Service in Mayflower Village

Rekey Service in Mayflower Village means repinning your existing lock cylinders so the old keys stop working and new keys operate the lock. No new hardware, no full replacement, no unnecessary upselling. A standard rekey of a Kwikset or Schlage lock in Mayflower Village runs $25 – $45 per cylinder. The price includes the new keys, and it’s confirmed in writing before we start.

This is the right call when you’ve moved into a home on Mayflower Village’s mid-century streets and you don’t know who still holds a copy of the old key. It’s also the right call after a tenant leaves, a roommate moves out, or a purse with keys goes missing. The physical lock stays. The internal pins change. Old keys become useless.

Single Lock Rekey

We repin one cylinder, cut new keys, and test the lock through several cycles. Most single-lock jobs on mid-century Mayflower Village homes take about 20 to 30 minutes once we’re at the door. This is the most common job we do for new homeowners.

Whole-House Rekey

If you want all exterior doors repinned in one visit, we’ll do it efficiently and charge per cylinder. Both entry and deadbolt on a front door means two cylinders. A common Mayflower Village split-level with two entries and a back door often has five or six cylinders to rekey, which lands in the $125 – $270 range depending on the mix of brands and cylinder conditions. The written quote before dispatch covers all of it.

Keyed Alike in Mayflower Village

Keyed Alike in Mayflower Village is a rekeying process where we set multiple locks to work on the same key. One key opens the front door, the back door, the side gate, the garage door, whatever you need. It’s not a new set of locks; it’s the existing cylinders repinned to match each other. Pricing stays at $25 – $45 per cylinder.

We see this request constantly in neighborhoods like the homes clustered off Lower Azusa Road. Homeowners want to stop carrying a jingling ring of four different keys and get down to one. The annoying catch in older Mayflower Village homes, and we flag this honestly before quoting, is mixed hardware brands. A Schlage lock and a Kwikset lock use different keyways, and sometimes they can’t be keyed alike without swapping at least one cylinder. We’ll tell you that up front, in plain English, before any work begins.

Front, Back, and Garage on One Key

The standard scenario: front door Schlage deadbolt, back door Kwikset, garage entry Schlage knob. We can usually key all three alike as long as the keyways are compatible. If one cylinder has an incompatible keyway, we’ll quote the cost of that single cylinder swap as a line item so you see exactly what’s needed and why.

Rental Property Keyed-Alike Setup

Landlords in Mayflower Village often want one master key for themselves and individual keys for a unit. That’s a master key system, which is a step up in complexity but very doable. We’ll scope it in writing: per-cylinder cost, how many keys you get, and whether any cylinders need replacing to make the system work. Most single-family rental setups in Mayflower Village come in between $180 and $450 depending on the number of doors and existing lock conditions. You’ll have the full number by phone before anyone is en route.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mayflower Village

We work on Schlage and Kwikset daily across Mayflower Village, because those are the two brands you’ll find on eight of every ten mid-century homes here, often installed new in the 1960s and still functioning. We also service Medeco and Abloy high-security cylinders when a homeowner has upgraded or needs a commercial-grade option. If you’ve got Baldwin or Yale hardware, that’s in our wheelhouse too. We don’t have to order parts for common locks, our vans carry the pins, springs, and clips we need for standard Schlage and Kwikset rekeys, so a call from Mayflower Village gets same-day service on most residential jobs.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Mayflower Village Homes

• Worn pins in builder-grade cylinders. Mayflower Village’s 1950s and 1960s homes were largely built with Kwikset and Schlage locks, and many of those original cylinders still exist. After decades of daily use, the pins wear down. A rekey on a worn cylinder may create a lock that turns stiffly or doesn’t work smoothly with the new key, which is why we inspect pin condition during every rekey and tell you if a few dollars of pin replacement is the better move.
• Mixed brands across the same house. Front doors and back doors weren’t always installed by the same contractor or at the same time. That’s how you get a Schlage deadbolt up front and a Kwikset the previous owner added on the garage. When a homeowner asks for keyed alike across mixed brands, a lazy tech just starts repinning and then presents a bill for “extra work” halfway through. We identify mixed keyways before we quote so the written price already accounts for it.
• Misaligned strike plates forcing lock changes. Many Mayflower Village houses have settled slightly over the decades, and slab doors on 1960s frames shift. A lock that was repinned correctly but still snags is often a strike plate alignment problem, not a cylinder problem. We’ll adjust the strike plate as part of getting the lock working right, and we’ll point it out in the before-and-after photos.
• Previous handyman rekeys that left mismatched pins. We sometimes open a cylinder in Mayflower Village and find someone installed pins of inconsistent lengths from a generic kit, which means the lock works, but barely. It’s the kind of thing a previous homeowner may have lived with for years. A proper rekey with matched pins takes care of it, and the difference is immediate in how the key turns.

Most of Mayflower Village’s housing stock is mid-century single-family homes on compact lots, meaning the same builder-grade Kwikset or Schlage locks were often installed across whole blocks. That’s a detail we know specifically because we work this city constantly, and it matters when someone on one side of Bradbourne Avenue needs a rekey after a tenant leaves while their neighbor two doors down just bought a house with the same 1960s deadbolt still on it. A rekey here frequently means matching a pin and tumbler setup that multiple homes around you also share.

On a call off Garden Lane near Mayflower Park, our tech rekeyed a 1960s ranch home’s original Schlage deadbolt after the homeowner’s tenant moved out. The old cylinder was a standard pin and tumbler, so we repinned it for new keys and left the ANSI Grade 1 hardware in place instead of upselling a full replacement. That’s the job done right: secure, fast, and honest.
