We’ve worked hundreds of doors across Upland, from the 1950s tract homes north of Foothill Blvd to the newer builds east toward Campus Ave. That local repetition matters because Upland housing stock splits sharply by era, and the lock on a 1962 home off San Antonio Ave is usually a very different job than the lock on a 2015 build near the Colonies. Knowing the difference before we send a truck is how we keep the quote honest.

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

We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2008 and independently owned and operated. Every Upland job runs on The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work begins, a live arrival time you can track, before-and-after photos of the work, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair. If a rekey fails within a year, the second visit is free. No charge, no argument.

Upland homeowners tell us the same thing: they’re tired of locksmiths who quote one number on the phone and a different one at the door. That’s the exact problem we built our process around. The price Kevin Yoon’s team quotes you is the price on the invoice. The tech who shows up is background-checked, in uniform, and carrying the pin kits and cylinder tools for everything from a builder-grade Kwikset knob to a Medeco high-security cylinder. You’ll see the live arrival window before we knock, and you’ll get photos of the work when it’s done.

Rekey Service in Upland

Rekey service in Upland means changing the internal pin and tumbler stack inside your existing lock cylinder so the old keys stop working and a new key operates the same hardware. No new lock gets installed. We pull the cylinder, swap the pins to match a fresh key, reinsert it, and test it in front of you. For standard Schlage, Kwikset, or Yale cylinders, expect $25 – $40 per cylinder, labor included. High-security brands like Medeco or Baldwin run $45 – $75 per cylinder because the pin kits and key blanks cost more and take longer to cut.

Standard Deadbolt and Knob Rekeys

The bread and butter in Upland. We remove the cylinder, replace the pins according to the key you choose, and reassemble the hardware. Most standard rekeys take 10 – 15 minutes per lock. If the cylinder has been painted over or the latch is misaligned from years of dry Inland Empire heat, we’ll tell you before touching it and quote the alignment fix separately.

Mortise and High-Security Cylinder Rekeys

Older Upland homes and some commercial storefronts along Euclid Ave still carry mortise locks or Baldwin cylinders. These are not the same as a standard Kwikset knob. They take specialized pin kits and often cost more. We quote these accurately because we ask about the lock type on the phone, not after we’re in your driveway.

Keyed Alike in Upland

Keyed alike in Upland means rekeying multiple locks so one key turns every door. If your front door, back door, and garage side door each run on different keys, we rekey all three cylinders to the same key. It costs the same per-cylinder rate, plus the key cuts. Standard cylinder keyed-alike jobs run $75 – $120 for three doors. High-security setups run $150 – $225 depending on brand and cylinder count.

Single-Key Convenience for Multiple Doors

Most Upland homes we visit have at least three exterior entry points. Front door, side garage door, back patio door. When they’re all on one key, your keyring gets lighter and your family stops fumbling at the door. We test every lock with the new key before we leave.

Commercial Keyed-Alike Systems

Small business owners along Foothill Blvd and in the Upland Auto Center area call us for keyed-alike rekeys on office suites, storage rooms, and employee-only doors. We write a flat per-cylinder price and a clear scope before scheduling, because commercial work is surveyed and scheduled, not rushed. Expect a written quote and a set timeline.

Trusted Brands We Service in Upland

We stock pin kits, key blanks, and cylinder parts for the brands Upland homes actually carry. That means Schlage and Kwikset on everyday deadbolts and knobs, Yale on older hardware, Medeco and Baldwin on higher-security setups. If your lock says Medeco or Baldwin, say so on the phone and we’ll bring the right kit the first time. No one in Upland wants a locksmith to show up and say the van doesn’t have the parts.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Upland Homes

• Builder knobs and added deadbolts on different keys. Older tract homes north of Foothill Blvd often have an original Kwikset knob and a later-added Schlage deadbolt on the same door, each on its own key. A rekey only fixes the cylinder we actually touch, so we always check both before quoting.
• Phone quotes that balloon on arrival. We hear this constantly from Upland customers who hired a cheap service before finding us. The tech arrives, discovers a mortise lock or Baldwin cylinder, and suddenly the price triples. We ask about lock type on the phone so that doesn’t happen.
• Painted or swollen door hardware. Decades of dry Inland Empire summers cause wood doors to shift and hardware to get painted over. If the latch no longer lines up with the strike plate, the rekey works mechanically but the door still won’t latch right. We’ll quote the alignment repair in writing before doing it.
• One key that still turns old locks after a rushed rekey. If the tech only rekeyed one cylinder and left the others on the old key, the job isn’t done. We key every exterior lock you want matched, test each one with the old key to confirm it no longer turns, and only then call the job complete.
