Who They're For and What They Solve
Lock replacement means removing an existing lock entirely and installing new hardware in its place. That covers the deadbolt, the handle set, or just the cylinder core, depending on the door. Unlike rekeying, which reuses the original body, replacement swaps the physical unit for something newer or stronger.
Most people need it after a specific event rather than on a schedule. Lost or stolen keys, a break-in attempt, a tenant moving out, or closing on a property all leave you with locks that other people may still open. Worn hardware that sticks or grinds also reaches a point where replacement beats repair.
The core problem it solves is uncontrolled access. Every unaccounted key is an open door, and a damaged lock is one force away from failing completely. Left alone, a compromised lock invites entry, complicates insurance claims after an incident, and eventually strands you outside your own property.
Is It Time?
Most people already know something is wrong. Here is what usually confirms it.
Our Services
We replace the full range of lock hardware found on residential and commercial doors.
We remove the existing deadbolt and install new single or double-cylinder hardware rated for exterior use. This is the right call when you want a genuine security upgrade, not just a fresh key. You get a stronger throw, a solid strike, and a lock that resists forced entry.
Full entry sets get swapped as a unit, matching finish and function across the door. This suits worn interior hardware, ADA lever conversions, and commercial doors needing consistent handle types. The result is smooth operation and hardware that matches everywhere.
Sometimes only the core needs to go. We pull the cylinder and drop in a new one, keeping the existing body and finish intact. This is the efficient choice when the hardware is sound but the keying is compromised, and it costs less than a full unit swap.
We remove mechanical hardware and install keypad, fob, or app-controlled locks in its place. Best for properties with rotating access, rentals, or anyone tired of carrying keys. You gain code control and an access log without sacrificing physical strength.
Not sure which approach your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what’s necessary, no upsells.

How It Works
Reach us at 951-458-6466. We ask about door type, lock count, and what triggered the change, then give you a firm quote on the spot.
A licensed technician inspects the door and hardware, verifies the quote still holds, and confirms your hardware choice before starting any work.
Old hardware comes out, new hardware goes in, aligned to the existing frame. Most single-door replacements take twenty to forty minutes.
We cycle the lock, check the strike alignment, hand over every key, and walk you through operation before we leave the property.
Pricing
We publish real numbers because the guessing is the worst part. Pricing depends on four things and we tell you all of them before we start.
What affects your price: the number of doors, hardware grade you select, whether the job is a full unit swap or a cylinder replacement, and whether the door needs any prep or realignment.
Typical range: most single-door deadbolt replacements land between $130 and $260 including standard hardware. Multi-door residential jobs and commercial-grade installs run higher based on unit count and grade.
You get the full figure quoted before work begins. Call for your exact number.
Rekey if the hardware is in good shape and you only need new keys. Replace if the lock is worn, damaged, or below the security grade you want.
Most single-door replacements take twenty to forty minutes. A full residential exterior set typically runs one to two hours depending on door count.
