Call (409) 405-4485

Selma’s housing stock splits sharply between mid-century tract homes near the downtown corridor and newer planned subdivisions on the east side. The older homes often still carry original mortise lock bodies with worn pin and tumbler stacks that need hand-fitting rather than simple cylinder swaps. That mix means a rekey in Selma is rarely a one-size job. Our tech has to know within minutes whether your door is running a modern deadbolt or a vintage mortise lock, and that knowledge changes the tools, the time, and the labor involved. We know what we’re walking into because we’ve worked these streets.

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

Selma homeowners call us because we answer the phone with a live person at any hour, and because the person who shows up is the person we said was coming. Kevin Yoon leads our team with a simple rule: every rekey gets a written price before the first tool comes out of the bag. Homeowners near Rose Avenue and the neighborhoods around Selma High have called us after another company quoted them a “starting” price on the phone, then bumped it once the tech saw the lock. That doesn’t happen with us.

Our techs arrive in a branded vehicle, in uniform, with a background check already on file. You can watch their live arrival time on your phone through The Relay Visibility Guarantee. Before-and-after photos of every cylinder we touch get attached to your digital invoice. If something isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right, at no charge. That’s not marketing language. It’s a written guarantee on every single rekey job in Selma.

We’re equipped to service Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, Baldwin, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy hardware. For Selma homeowners, that matters because the older mortise locks on Floral Avenue take different pin kits than the smart deadbolts in the newer builds off Floral Avenue. We carry both. We don’t have to drive back across Fresno for parts.

Locksmith Rekey in Selma

Locksmith Rekey in Selma means changing the internal pins inside your existing lock cylinder so the old keys stop working and a new key operates the door. You keep your hardware. You don’t replace the deadbolt, the knob, or the trim. Rekeying a standard pin and tumbler cylinder in Selma runs $25 to $45 per cylinder, and most single-family homes have between four and eight keyed openings. A starter home near downtown Selma with three exterior doors and a couple interior locks usually comes in around $100 to $180 for a full rekey.

When Selma Homeowners Call for a Rekey

Most rekey calls in Selma come after a tenant moves out of a rental near Selma High, after house keys go missing, or after a roommate situation changes. Some homeowners call after buying a mid-century home near Mountain View Avenue and realizing the previous owner handed over keys to a neighbor, a dog walker, and a contractor who did work three years ago. Rekeying takes every old key out of circulation in under an hour.

What the Job Involves

The tech removes the lock cylinder, swaps the old pins for new ones cut to match a fresh key, and reinstalls the cylinder. On a modern Kwikset or Schlage deadbolt, that’s a fifteen-minute job per lock. On the older mortise lock bodies we see around Floral Avenue and downtown Selma, the cylinder may need hand-fitting because years of use have worn the chambers unevenly. We don’t drill anything. We don’t tell you to buy new hardware unless the lock itself is failing.

Rekey Door Lock in Selma

Rekey Door Lock in Selma covers both the deadbolt and the knob or lever on an entry door, whether it’s a standard residential setup or a high-security Baldwin or Medeco cylinder. The keyed deadbolt and the keyed knob share the same keyway, so you can get both rekeyed to match the same new key. A typical front door rekey in Selma, redoing both the deadbolt and keyed knob, runs $50 to $90 total. If the home has builder-grade Kwikset locks from the 1990s, the job is straightforward. If it’s a Baldwin mortise lock from a 1960s build off McCall Avenue, it takes longer and the labor reflects it, but the price still gets locked in writing before we start.

Keyed Alike vs Keyed Different

Most Selma homeowners want every exterior door on one key. We can set that up in one visit. Some want the front door on one key and the garage door on another, which is common for families sharing a home. Either way, we’ll walk you through the exact key plan before we start rekeying, and the price covers the labor and the keys.

No Need to Replace the Hardware

If the lock body is still mechanically sound, you don’t need a new deadbolt. Rekeying is the cheaper move, and it leaves your existing trim and finish alone. Homeowners in Selma’s east-side subdivisions with newer Kwikset smart locks call us for rekeys when a code or key fob gets lost, and we rekey those cylinders without affecting the electronic side.

Trusted Brands We Service in Selma

We rekey Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy cylinders in Selma every week. We carry pin kits and key blanks for the common residential brands on the truck, so a rekey on a Kwikset deadbolt near Selma High or a Yale mortise lock off Floral Avenue doesn’t require a second trip. For high-security brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, we handle the process through their authorized key control systems, which means you get freshly cut keys that duplicates can’t be made from without your signature.

This matters in Selma because the housing mix means we see everything from 1950s Baldwin mortise locks to brand-new Schlage smart deadbolts in the subdivisions near Highway 99. The tech has to know what’s on the door before picking a pin kit. We train for that.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Selma Homes

• Worn pin and tumbler stacks in mid-century mortise locks. Homes near Mountain View Avenue and the older streets around downtown Selma often still have original mortise lock bodies, and the pins inside are worn from decades of use. Those cylinders need hand-fitting with fresh pins, not a quick cylinder swap.
• Mixed keyways across the same house. A Selma homeowner may have a Schlage deadbolt on the front door, a Kwikset knob on the side door, and an old Yale on the back. We rekey all of them to one key without forcing you to replace mismatched hardware.
• Previous owners who never changed the locks. Homes sold along Rose Avenue or in the east-side subdivisions frequently still run on the same keys the sellers used. We rekey on move-in day so every old key floating around the neighborhood stops working immediately.
• Paint-clogged cylinders on older doors. The painted-over mortise locks we see near Floral Avenue need a solvent cleaning and a careful rekey, not a drill job. Our techs carry the right tools and don’t leave your door with a scarred faceplate.
