Here’s the part that matters to Suisun City homeowners and property managers: we put the full price in writing before we dispatch anyone. No bait number on the phone, no inflated invoice at the door. The Rekey Locks work we do is simple to explain – we swap the small pins inside the lock cylinder so the old keys no longer turn it, then cut new keys to match. You keep the same hardware. Old keys become dead metal.

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

Suisun City is a compact, mostly single-family, owner-occupied city wrapped around the Suisun Marina and the Historic Waterfront District. That changes what a rekey job looks like. Most of our calls here aren’t college-town turnover; they’re new homeowners after closing, landlords between tenants near Pennsylvania Avenue, or adult children moving back home in the Lawler Ranch area. Each of those customers expects us to show up when we say we will, put the real price in writing before touching a tool, and finish without inventing extra work.

We built our process around exactly that. Every Suisun City job includes The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before any work starts, a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos of the work, and a written guarantee on every repair. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the rekey isn’t functioning right, we make it right – including a free second visit if the repair fails. No charge, no argument, no phone tag.

Calls ring to a live person. When a Suisun City homeowner calls us about rekeying two doors before a weekend move-in, they aren’t sent to a voicemail tree or told to wait for a callback. We answer, set the arrival window, and send a background-checked, uniformed technician whose name and photo they can see before the knock. Dispatch is coordinated from our Los Angeles office, but the crews serving Suisun City work locally and know the streets. Call (409) 405-4485 and you’ll reach a person.

Keyed Alike in Suisun City

Keyed Alike is the job Suisun City homeowners ask for most when they’re done carrying a ring of four different keys – one for the front, one for the garage entry, one for the deadbolt, one for the side gate. Keyed alike means we re-pin every lock cylinder so one single key operates every lock you choose. In Suisun City, this usually runs $18 to $30 per cylinder plus the service call fee, and the whole thing is done in under an hour for a typical three-door home.

One Key, Whole House

For a single-family home off Gunter Street or near the waterfront, we can key every entry to one fresh-cut key. We re-pin the front entry, the back slider deadbolt, the garage door lock, and any gate padlock if it uses a compatible cylinder. You hand out one key to family and none of the old ones work.

Landlord Turnovers

Between tenants in Suisun City apartments and condos, keyed alike keeps the turnover simple. Your tenant gets one key for every lock on the unit, and the previous tenant’s keys won’t work even if they kept copies. We typically do this in the 94585 zip code in one trip, often same week as the move-out.

Rekey Deadbolt in Suisun City

Rekey Deadbolt is the job where we swap the pins inside an existing deadbolt so the old key no longer operates it. This is very common in Suisun City because the deadbolt is the primary security lock on most front and rear doors around the Marina-area tracts and the older Old Town homes alike. A standard pin-and-tumbler deadbolt rekey runs $18 to $30 per cylinder, and we include the new keys in that price.

After a Closing

When a buyer closes on a house near the Suisun City Historic Waterfront, the first thing we recommend is rekeying every exterior deadbolt. Contractors, stagers, the listing agent, previous owners – any of them could still hold a copy. We rekey the deadbolts on the day you get keys, and we verify each one with a smooth test turn before we leave.

High-Security Deadbolts

If the door has a Medeco or Mul-T-Lock deadbolt, the cylinder is restricted and the rekey takes slightly different pins. We carry those kits on the truck for Suisun City calls, not just the standard Schlage and Kwikset depths. You call, we quote the flat price on the phone, and that’s what you see on the invoice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Suisun City

We’re trained and equipped to rekey and repair hardware from Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, Baldwin, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy – everything from a standard residential Kwikset deadbolt on a Lawler Ranch front door to a high-security Medeco cylinder on a commercial storefront near Main Street. Because we stock common pin kits and parts on the truck for Suisun City jobs, most Schlage and Kwikset rekeys are done as a single visit. If your hardware is an older mortise lock from an Old Town Suisun City door, we bring the right pinning kit rather than trying to force a modern cylinder into a lock built in a different decade.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Suisun City Homes

• Old Town doors that have settled over decades. The rekeyed cylinder turns clean in the hand but the bolt drags against a misaligned strike plate, so the new key “almost” works and the customer thinks the rekey failed. We check the strike alignment and correct it rather than leaving a lock that binds.
• Landlords who rekey without a working key to test first. Around Suisun City rentals, we regularly see cylinders that are already worn past spec. If we re-pin those without checking, the new key works for a week and then starts sticking. We test-insert and verify before we set pins.
• Smart lock installs on Marina-area homes that skip the mechanical rekey. A homeowner adds a keypad entry but leaves the old keyed cylinder underneath untouched, so the old physical key still opens the door after the new code was added. We rekey the mechanical cylinder so the old key is truly dead.
• Mixed hardware generations on one door. A Suisun City rekey ticket often pairs an older mortise lock on the front door with a modern deadbolt on the slider. Both get rekeyed on the same trip, but they need different pin kits and different key blanks – which is why we carry both.
