If you just bought a house in Clovis, or you lost a key, or you had a roommate move out, rekeying is the straightforward fix. We pull each lock cylinder, swap the internal pins so the old keys no longer work, and cut new keys on the spot. The hardware stays. The keys change. It’s the cheapest way to take back control of who has access to your front door, back door, and garage entry – without replacing a single deadbolt.

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

Preston Locksmith & Security was founded in 2008, and Kevin Yoon leads our team with a simple rule: the price you agree to on the phone is the price you pay.

We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, independently owned and operated, and every Clovis job is covered by The Relay Visibility Guarantee – a written price before work begins, a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos of every job, and a written guarantee on every repair.

Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and carrying the right pin kits for the lock brands common in Clovis homes – Kwikset, Schlage, Medeco, Yale – because we confirm your hardware before we schedule the job. That matters in Clovis’s mix of 1970s-1990s builder-grade locks and newer smart lock hardware. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Fresno, Central Valley office, and crews serve Clovis locally, which keeps response times tight across the city.

Phones are answered by a live person 24/7. No voicemail trees, no callback queues, no phone tag.

Rekey House in Clovis

Rekey House work in Clovis is what we do most often, because so many homes here changed hands in the 2010s and 2020s and new owners want to kill every old key. The job involves pulling each lock cylinder from your exterior doors, swapping the pins inside so the old keys stop working, and cutting new keys that match. You keep the same deadbolts and knobs. You just get new keys. A typical Clovis rekey house job with three to four exterior locks runs $160 to $280, written price confirmed before we start.

Because Clovis still has a large share of homes built in the 1970s through 1990s with builder-grade Kwikset and Schlage locks, most rekeys here are straightforward pin and tumbler jobs once we confirm the existing lock cylinder isn’t seized or worn – not replacements. In newer Clovis subdivisions with smart lock and keypad entry installed by builders, we often have to rekey the mechanical backup cylinder rather than the keypad itself. That’s a distinction that matters, and we’ll walk you through it on the phone before we dispatch.

What Happens on a Clovis Rekey House Job

We confirm your lock brands and cylinder types when you call. Then we quote a flat price for the whole job, not an hourly estimate. The tech arrives with the right pin kits, pulls each cylinder, swaps the pins, cuts new keys, and tests every door. You get before-and-after photos and a digital invoice. We confirm the old keys no longer turn any exterior lock before we leave.

When a Clovis Homeowner Needs a Full House Rekey

Just closed on a house near Dry Creek Park or off Shepherd near the 168? You don’t know how many copies of the old keys the previous owner handed out to neighbors, cleaners, dog walkers, or contractors. A full house rekey makes every old key dead. It’s the same reason renters rekey after a move-out, and why homeowners rekey after a key goes missing or a relationship ends. One new key opens everything, and nothing else does.

Lock Rekey in Clovis

Lock rekey in Clovis is the single-lock version of the same job – one cylinder, one key change, done in under thirty minutes in most cases. It costs $95 to $160 for the first lock, written price confirmed on the phone. You’d choose a single lock rekey when only one door needs to change, like a back door or a garage entry that still works on an old key while you plan the rest of the house.

Our tech was called to a home near Dry Creek Park in Clovis after a recent home sale closed. The new owners had four exterior Kwikset deadbolts and didn’t know how many copies of the old keys were still out there. We pulled each lock cylinder, swapped the pins in the pin and tumbler stacks, confirmed all four deadbolts now turn only on the two new keys we cut on-site, and left the existing hardware in place. Total time on the job was under an hour, and the owners kept the original builder-grade hardware rather than replacing it. That’s what a full Rekey Locks job looks like in practice.

Single Lock Rekey vs. Whole House Rekey

A single lock rekey changes one cylinder to a new key. A whole house rekey changes every exterior lock to match one key. The math matters. If you rekey only the front door deadbolt and leave the back door and garage entry on the old key, someone with the old key still has access. After a home sale or a lost key, that defeats the point of key control. We’ll ask how many exterior doors you have and quote accordingly.

Keyed Alike or Keyed Different

Keyed alike means one key opens every door you choose – front, back, garage, side gate. Keyed different means each lock has its own key. Most Clovis homeowners go keyed alike for the exterior doors they use daily and keep the garage or shop on its own key. We’ll lay out the options when you call, so you’re making a deliberate choice, not a default one.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis

We stock pin kits and parts for Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, and Yale hardware, which covers nearly every lock we see in Clovis homes, from 1970s builder-grade deadbolts to high-security commercial cylinders on newer builds. We can also service Baldwin, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy hardware when your Clovis property calls for it. Because we confirm your lock brand before dispatch, the tech arrives with the right kit the first time. No rescheduling because the wrong pin kit showed up. No second trip across town. That’s the kind of thing that makes a rekey in Clovis take an hour instead of an afternoon.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Clovis Homes

• Worn or seized cylinders in 1970s and 1980s homes. Older Clovis houses with original Kwikset or Schlage hardware sometimes have cylinders that have corroded or seized over decades of Central Valley heat and dust. A rekey quote given over the phone before anyone confirms the cylinder is compatible can turn into an unexpected replacement on site. We confirm cylinder condition during the quote call so you know before we dispatch whether you’re paying for a rekey or a replacement.
• Rekeying only one door and leaving others on the old key. Changing the front door deadbolt but keeping the back door and garage entry on the old key is the most common key control mistake we see in Clovis. After a home sale or a lost key, every exterior lock needs to change, or the old key still works somewhere. We’ll walk through your full exterior door list and quote the whole job, not just the one you noticed.
• Wrong pin kit for upgraded hardware. Dispatching a tech without first confirming the brand – Kwikset vs. Schlage vs. Medeco – means the wrong pin kit shows up and the job gets rescheduled. That’s a real problem in Clovis’s mix of builder-grade and upgraded hardware. We confirm the brand and cylinder type before anything gets scheduled, so the tech arrives ready to work.
• Smart lock and keypad backups that still use the old mechanical key. In newer Clovis subdivisions with smart lock and keypad entry installed by builders, homeowners often assume the keypad is the only way in and ignore the mechanical backup cylinder. That backup cylinder still works on the old key unless it’s rekeyed. We rekey the mechanical backup cylinder on every smart lock, so the old key doesn’t bypass the new keypad code.
