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

Sebastopol homeowners call us because they know exactly what they’re getting before the truck rolls. Our technicians are background-checked, wear uniforms, and arrive with a written price already confirmed over the phone. That’s not a promise. It’s how we’ve operated since Kevin Yoon founded the company in 2008, and it’s built into our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the rekey isn’t right, we return and make it right at no charge.

We answer calls from Sebastopol residents around the clock. No voicemail trees, no callback queues. You get a live person, a real arrival time you can track, and before-and-after photos of every job. The Rekey Locks team we dispatch to Sebastopol carries pin kits for Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, and Yale hardware, so a single visit usually covers every door on the property.

Sebastopol’s housing stock runs older than most Bay Area towns. We’ve been inside enough of those doors to know that a rekey here often means cleaning a cylinder before new pins will seat properly. That local knowledge is why our phone quotes hold up when the work actually starts.

Rekey Door Lock in Sebastopol

Rekey Door Lock work in Sebastopol means swapping the internal pins and springs inside the cylinder so the old key no longer turns it. You keep the existing hardware, which matters in this town where many homes have solid brass deadbolts and vintage mortise locks that would cost hundreds to replace. A standard deadbolt or knob rekey runs $90 – $150 per cylinder, written price confirmed before we start.

When Old Keys Create Real Risk

Bought a house off Morris Street where the previous owner’s relatives still have keys? Took over a retail space near the Barlow and not sure who holds a copy? Rekeying removes that uncertainty in under an hour. For rental properties in Sebastopol, rekeying between tenants is standard practice and much less expensive than replacing locks.

One Key For Every Door

Many Sebastopol homes have a mix of deadbolts and knobs from different brands. We re-pin all cylinders to match a single key, even across Schlage and Kwikset hardware, so you carry one key instead of four. If the locks are compatible, we’ll tell you honestly which ones are before quoting a price.

Rekey Service in Sebastopol

Rekey Service in Sebastopol covers more than the cylinders themselves. Our tech inspects the strike plate, checks alignment, and lubricates internal parts while re-pinning. That full service runs $120 – $180 for the first cylinder and $25 – $40 for each additional one matched to the same key, depending on brand and condition. You get a written scope and flat per-lock price before anything is disassembled.

Multi-Lock Rekey on a Single Visit

Homes near the Laguna de Santa Rosa often have three or four exterior doors with mixed lock brands. One appointment covers all of them. We arrive with pin kits for Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and Medeco, so there’s no second trip charge or “ordering parts” delay.

Same-Day Scheduling for Urgent Rekeys

Lost a key, ended a lease, or had a tenant leave without returning keys? We schedule same-day rekeys in Sebastopol and most jobs are completed within two hours of arrival. The quoted price includes cleaning, pin replacement, and a functional test on every door we touch.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sebastopol

We work on Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, and Yale hardware every week in Sebastopol. Our techs carry standard and high-security pin kits for all four brands, plus replacement tailpieces and springs for the older Kwikset cylinders still common in downtown bungalows. If you have a Baldwin or Sargent lock, we service those too. Having brand-specific pins on the truck means we finish most Sebastopol rekeys in one visit without a parts run or a follow-up appointment.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Sebastopol Homes

• Corroded pins from damp winters: Sebastopol’s wet season pushes moisture into exterior cylinders, especially on north-facing doors. Pins swell and bind, so a straight rekey can jam unless the lock is cleaned first. We include that cleaning in the quote, not as a surprise add-on.
• Mixed lock brands across one house: A Schlage on the front, a Kwikset on the side, an off-brand on the back. Rekeying all three to one key takes different pin kits and more time than a flat per-lock quote assumes. We ask for door and brand counts before dispatching.
• Old mortise locks on downtown bungalows: Many pre-1970 Sebastopol homes still have original mortise cylinders. These rekey fine when handled carefully, but the springs and tailpieces are often worn. We inspect the full assembly rather than just swapping pins.
• Rural properties with long driveways: Homes off Highway 12 or in the hills around Occidental Road aren’t in-town addresses. Drive time matters, and we confirm the full address and access details before dispatch so the price doesn’t shift once the tech sees the odometer.
