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

Davis isn’t a city where people tolerate vague answers. If you live near the Russell Boulevard corridor or off Anderson Road, you’ve probably dealt with a rental turnover, a roommate move-out, or a lost key at a student apartment complex. We know the housing stock here: 1960s and 70s ranch homes with original Schlage and Kwikset cylinders, newer townhome developments, and a pile of master-keyed buildings that change hands every September. Our Rekey Locks team works directly with landlords, property managers, and homeowners across Davis.

Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the rekey isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. No charge, no argument. Kevin Yoon has built the Davis operation around a simple principle: a written price before any work starts and a live arrival time you can track. That’s The Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it means no four-hour windows and no bill that swells between the estimate and the invoice.

Rekey House in Davis

Rekey House work in Davis means re-pinning every exterior lock cylinder so the old keys stop working, without replacing any of the hardware. We pull the cylinder, swap the internal pins to match a fresh key, and test every door including side gates and garage entry doors. A standard 3-bedroom house in Davis usually costs $95 – $160 for the full rekey, and we confirm that price by phone before dispatch.

Rental Turnover Rekeys

If you’re a landlord near Sycamore Lane preparing for a September lease turnover, you know the drill: old tenants hand back two keys, but their roommates made copies. A rekey resets every cylinder so only the keys you hold will work. We’re set up for multi-unit scheduling and can rekey several properties in one visit with our Davis Commercial Locksmith team.

New Homeowner Rekeys

You just bought a house in Davis and you have no idea how many keys are floating around from previous owners, handymen, or house sitters. We rekey every exterior lock to a new key, usually within 90 minutes at a single-family home. You get all new keys and the old ones become worthless.

Lock Rekey in Davis

Lock Rekey in Davis applies to individual cylinders: a front door deadbolt, a back door knob, a side gate padlock. If a single lock needs to be re-keyed because a key was lost or an ex-roommate moved out, that’s a $25 – $40 job per cylinder. We can match that lock to an existing key you already use, so one key operates every entrance.

Matching Existing Keys

Many Davis customers want all their locks on one key. We re-pin a new lock to match your current key rather than re-cutting all your keys. That’s often the cheapest path to a single-key house, and it works on most Schlage and Kwikset hardware.

Post-Break-In Rekeys

If a lock was forced or tampered with, a rekey alone may not be enough. We’ll inspect the cylinder for damage first and tell you honestly whether new pins will restore security or whether the hardware itself needs replacement. You’ll hear the recommendation before any work begins, with the price attached.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davis

We work on Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, and Yale hardware daily, from standard residential deadbolts to high-security commercial cylinders. For Davis customers, that means if you bought a Schlage deadbolt at a box store on East Covell Boulevard or inherited a Kwikset system in an older home near Anderson Road, we already have the pins, springs, and tools on the truck to rekey it. Medeco and Yale high-security cylinders need specific key blanks and precision pinning; our techs carry those too, so there’s no second trip and no ordering delay. If you need a Davis rekey done same-day, we’re equipped.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Davis Homes

• September rental turnover with a master-keyed building. Landlords assume the tenant’s key was the only one in play. We regularly find old master keys still working because only the tenant cylinder was re-pinned, not the full pin stack. A proper rekey stops every old key, including master keys.
• Sticky, weathered cylinders on older homes. Davis’s hot, dry summers and damp winters cause brass cylinders to oxidize and seize. We clean and re-lubricate the cylinder before re-pinning it; forcing a stuck cylinder often damages it beyond rekeying.
• Big-box deadbolts with no bump resistance. Cheap deadbolts sold at local stores often lack ANSI Grade 1 rating and are easy to bump. We’ll tell you if your hardware is worth rekeying or if replacing is the smarter security move.
• Keys that work only in some locks. When a house has had multiple rekeys over the years, different doors may be keyed to different pins. We bring every cylinder back to a single key so you’re not juggling three keys to get in your own house.
