Lock Change & Lock Repair in Los Gatos — Homes and Businesses

Change, rekey or repair?

Which One Does Your Door Actually Need?

A rekey changes the pins inside your existing lock so old keys stop working — quick, inexpensive, and the right first step after a move, a lost key or a tenant change. A lock change replaces the hardware itself, which is what you want when a cylinder is worn out, damaged by force, or below the security grade the door needs.

A repair is the option most people forget. If the door has stopped latching, the bolt hangs, the key sticks or the handle is loose, the lock itself is often fine — the strike plate, spindle or alignment has moved. We diagnose first, quote the cheapest correct fix, and only replace what genuinely needs replacing.

• Rekey — cheapest secure reset when keys were lost or handed over
• Lock change — worn, damaged, forced or under-spec hardware
• Repair — latching, alignment, sticking keys and loose handles
• Free on-site assessment before any work is quoted

Residential

Home Lock Changes & Repairs in Los Gatos

Entry doors take the most use in any house, and the hardware shows it. We replace deadbolts and handle sets, repair doors that swing but will not latch, correct sagging frames and fit reinforced strike plates so the bolt seats into more than a thin strip of trim.

Every exterior door can be keyed to one key, with a separate key for the garage or side gate if you prefer. New hardware is installed, tested and demonstrated before we leave, including the dead-latch and anti-slam function.

• Deadbolt and handle set replacement, all exterior doors
• Keyed-alike and master-key setups for the whole house
• Strike plate reinforcement and frame alignment repair
• Keypad and smart lock installation with code programming

Business

Commercial Lock Changes & Repairs for Los Gatos Businesses

Commercial doors fail differently from residential ones: aluminium storefront stiles, mortise lock bodies, panic devices and electric strikes. We carry the commercial stock and work on that hardware daily — so a broken door does not put your premises out of use for a week waiting on parts.

When keys change hands between staff, we rekey the entry cylinders in the same visit and can build a master-key structure — a grand master for ownership, sub-masters per department and individual keys for staff, all documented for the next changeover.

• Storefront, office, warehouse and restaurant door hardware
• Mortise lock body replacement and cylinder rekeying
• Panic bar and exit device repair, and door closer adjustment
• Master key charts and key control for property managers

What it costs

Clear Pricing Before the Screwdriver Comes Out

A service call is quoted once we see the door: the hardware, whether it needs a repair or a replacement, and the number of locks involved. You hear the price before anything is removed, and it does not change halfway through the job.

Hardware is priced separately from labour so you can compare options — standard versus high-security cylinder, kept versus replaced — and choose what fits your budget rather than what is already in the van.

• Price confirmed on site, before work starts
• Hardware and labour quoted separately
• No charge for the assessment if you decide not to proceed
• Card and tap-to-pay accepted on completion
