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

We get a lot of calls from Muscoy renters and landlords dealing with the same situation: keys got handed out over the years, nobody’s sure who still has one, and the lock hardware itself is older than the people holding it. That’s our specialty. We don’t quote you a number before knowing whether you’ve got Schlage, Kwikset, or a worn mortise cylinder on a 1970s door. We ask about the hardware first, then put the price in writing. Kevin Yoon founded this company in 2008 under the Relay Home Co. family, and every one of our technicians is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the full range of residential and commercial brands. Muscoy customers see a live trackable arrival time on their phone and get before-and-after photos of the work. No anonymous van, no mystery man at the door.

The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every rekey we do here. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right, free. That’s not a marketing line. It’s stamped on the written guarantee that comes with every job.

Keyed Alike in Muscoy

Keyed Alike is the fix for the classic Muscoy front-and-back door mismatch: two different keys for two doors that should behave like one. We re-pin each lock cylinder so a single key turns every lock you want matched. For a Cajon Blvd rental or a State Street duplex, that usually means the front door, back door, and a side gate door all working off one key. The labor runs the same $18 – $35 per cylinder, and the parts are just new pins and springs, nothing exotic.

How the key matching works

Rekeying means pulling the cylinder, swapping the internal pins to match a new key’s cuts, and reassembling. No new hardware goes in the door. If the cylinders are all the same brand, a keyed-alike set is straightforward. If you’ve got a Schlage on the front and a Kwikset on the back, we can still get them onto one key in most cases, though it may take a different keyway profile. The written quote covers this before we start.

When Muscoy landlords need it

A tenant moves out, a roommate leaves, a contractor had a copy made. You don’t want to replace every lock on the property. Keyed-alike rekeying resets the whole house to one key without new hardware. We record exactly how many new keys we cut and hand every one of them to you, not to anyone else.

Rekey Deadbolt in Muscoy

Rekey Deadbolt is the single most common job we do in Muscoy, and it’s usually the front door deadbolt on an older house. We remove the cylinder, re-pin it to a new key, and test it both ways, locked and unlocked, before we leave. A standard deadbolt rekey in Muscoy runs $18 – $30. If the deadbolt cylinder is worn to the point where the key sticks or the plug is loose, we’ll tell you before quoting, because re-pinning a worn cylinder doesn’t fix the wear.

Deadbolt rekey vs. replacement

If the deadbolt is solid and the cylinder turns clean, re-keying is all you need. You keep the hardware. If the tailpiece is bent, the bolt doesn’t throw fully, or the cylinder housing is cracked, replacement is the honest call. We’ll quote both options in writing and you choose. No pressure either direction.

Rental turn-over rekeys

On a rental rekey in Muscoy, we do the deadbolt and the knob or handle set together. Leaving the knob on the old key defeats the purpose of rekeying the deadbolt. Our standard rental-turnover job covers all exterior entry points on one key, plus a written key count.

Trusted Brands We Service in Muscoy

Most Muscoy homes have Schlage or Kwikset hardware, and we stock pin kits for both on every truck. We’re also trained on Medeco and Abloy high-security cylinders for the commercial properties and the occasional high-end residential build. That means we don’t have to run back to a shop for parts when your Kwikset deadbolt needs a different pin size or your Abloy cam lock needs a specific key blank. We bring the common Muscoy hardware solutions with us. You get the rekey done in one trip, usually in under an hour.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Muscoy Homes

• Key counts lost across tenants and roommates. Cajon Blvd and State Street rentals often have three or four prior occupants, each with a key or a copy. A rekey resets the count to zero and puts exactly the number of keys you want in your hand.
• Worn pin and tumbler cylinders in aluminum and wood doors from the 1960s through 1980s. The pins wear down, the key starts to feel loose, and a fresh rekey won’t fix a cylinder that’s already failing. We test the cylinder before re-pinning so you’re not paying for work that won’t hold.
• Front-door-only rekeys that leave the back door on the old key. We see this on rentals where a previous locksmith did the cheapest possible job. Our rental rekey covers every exterior lock on one key, with a written record.
• No key control after the rekey. The landlord hands a new key to a contractor, another to a neighbor, and the count is unknown again in a month. We give you a written key count and recommend limiting duplicates to people you trust.
