Services | Lock Change Inglewood
Lock Change Inglewood provides professional residential and commercial locksmith services for property owners who need fast, dependable solutions. Whether you are moving into a new home, dealing with lost keys, repairing worn locks, or improving security for a business, the services below explain what each option includes and when it is the right choice. Each section matches the services menu so visitors can jump directly to the help they need.
Every service begins with a quick inspection of the door and hardware. This ensures the correct recommendation before any work starts. Once the right service is confirmed, the lock is adjusted, repaired, replaced, or rekeyed with careful testing to ensure smooth daily operation.
Lock Change
A lock change is a full replacement of the existing lock hardware. This is the best solution when the lock is damaged, worn out, outdated, or when you want a complete reset of property access. Many new homeowners schedule a lock change immediately after moving in to make sure only they have working keys. Landlords also request lock changes between tenants to restore control.
During a lock change, the door and frame are checked first. Correct alignment is important for long-term performance. A new lock is installed and tested several times from both sides. This helps prevent sticking or key turning issues later. Customers often choose to upgrade to stronger deadbolts or better hardware during this service.
Multiple doors can usually be keyed alike so one key works across the property. Lock change service is recommended after a break-in attempt, when hardware is visibly worn, or when upgrading to higher quality locks.
- Replace deadbolts, knobs, and lever locks
- Upgrade to stronger residential hardware
- Key multiple locks alike when compatible
- Adjust strike plates for smooth operation
Rekey Service
Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock so old keys stop working. The lock body remains in place but a new key combination is created. This is one of the most common services for homeowners, landlords, and offices that want to disable previous keys without replacing the entire lock.
Rekey service is ideal when keys are lost, after moving into a property, or when you want to simplify access by having multiple locks operate with the same key. Before rekeying, the lock condition is checked to make sure it is worth rekeying. If the hardware is worn or damaged, a lock change may be recommended instead.
This service provides a fast and cost-effective way to regain control over who has access to the property. It also reduces the number of keys needed for daily use.
- Disable old keys immediately
- Create new working key combinations
- Key multiple locks to one key
- Maintain existing hardware appearance
House & Apartment Lockout
Lockouts can happen unexpectedly and require quick assistance. House and apartment lockout service focuses on restoring entry without damage whenever possible. Common situations include keys locked inside, broken keys, lost keys, or locks that stop turning.
The lock is evaluated to determine the safest way to regain entry. Many standard locks can be opened using professional non-destructive methods. If drilling or replacement is necessary, the options are explained clearly before work begins.
After entry is restored, customers often choose rekey or lock change service for security. This is especially important if keys were lost rather than locked inside.
- Non-destructive entry when possible
- Fast response for residential lockouts
- Rekey or replace locks after entry if needed
- Service for houses, apartments, and condos
Lock Repair
Lock repair can restore function when hardware becomes difficult to use. Common issues include keys sticking, loose handles, deadbolts not extending fully, or doors that require force to lock. These problems often result from wear, misalignment, or internal component failure.
Repair begins by identifying the cause of the problem. Sometimes the issue is as simple as a loose strike plate or door alignment. In other cases, internal lock parts need replacement. Repair can extend the life of the lock and avoid unnecessary replacement.
If the lock is beyond repair or no longer reliable, replacement options are explained. The goal is smooth operation and dependable security for everyday use.
- Fix sticking or hard-to-turn locks
- Adjust misaligned doors and strike plates
- Replace worn internal components
- Restore smooth locking and unlocking
Commercial Locksmith
Commercial locksmith service focuses on offices, storefronts, and multi-unit properties. Businesses require durable hardware and controlled access for employees, tenants, and maintenance teams. Services include lock changes, rekeying, repairs, and hardware upgrades for doors that see heavy use.
Access control planning is often part of commercial service. This can include master key systems, restricted keyways, and hardware upgrades that reduce key duplication. The goal is to keep daily operation simple while maintaining security.
Commercial doors may use mortise locks, lever sets, or panic hardware. Each type requires proper alignment and installation. Regular maintenance helps prevent lockouts and hardware failure during business hours.
