Lock Rekey Overview in Pasadena
Lock rekeying is one of the smartest and most affordable ways to secure your Pasadena property. Code Locksmith offers fast, professional lock rekeying for homes and businesses throughout Pasadena, starting at just $19 per lock. Our technicians change the internal pin configuration of your existing locks so old keys no longer work, then provide you with fresh new keys on the spot. It's the perfect solution when moving, after losing a key, or when you want to restrict access without replacing your hardware.
When Should You Rekey Locks in Pasadena?
There are many situations where Pasadena residents and business owners should consider rekeying. Moving into a new home or apartment? You never know how many copies of the old key are floating around. Lost a set of keys? Rekeying eliminates the risk of someone finding them and accessing your property. Ended a relationship, fired an employee, or completed a renovation project? Rekeying ensures only authorized people have current keys.

Rekey vs. Lock Change — Which Is Right?
Rekeying changes the internal pins while keeping your existing hardware — it's faster and more affordable, typically $19-$35 per lock. A full lock change replaces the entire lock mechanism with new hardware, costing $75-$200+ per lock depending on the brand. Rekeying is ideal when your locks are in good condition but you want new keys. Lock change is better when hardware is damaged, outdated, or you want an upgrade.
How Lock Rekeying Works
Our Pasadena locksmith removes the lock cylinder from your door, disassembles it, and replaces the internal pin tumblers with new ones that match a different key pattern. The process takes about 5-10 minutes per lock and requires no modifications to your door or frame. Your existing lock hardware stays in place and looks exactly the same — only the key changes.
Benefits of Rekeying Your Pasadena Property
Rekeying offers Pasadena property owners several advantages: immediate security without the cost of new hardware, the option to set multiple locks to one key, quick completion (most homes done in under an hour), and no disruption to your door or décor. It's especially popular with Pasadena landlords and property managers who need to turn over units efficiently between tenants.
