Rekeying locks in Beverly Hills is the most common security upgrade we perform here, and it usually costs $120 – $260 for a complete home depending on cylinder count. The work skews different than neighboring cities: older Spanish-revival doors with original mortise locks, hillside estates with electrified gates, and clients who expect discreet, vetted technicians. Glendale Lock & Key has served Beverly Hills since 2018. Call (855) 791-2710 for a straight answer on your specific door.
Why Beverly Hills Homes Are Different
Beverly Hills housing breaks into two distinct worlds that change how a locksmith works. South of Santa Monica Boulevard, the flats hold 1920s – 1940s Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean homes with original mortise lock bodies and solid wood doors. Those doors were built well, but the intense Southern California sun and dry air do a number on them: wood dries, frames shift, and deadbolts that threw cleanly in January start binding by August. On a 90-degree day, a mortise lock on a 1930s casita door can need a full rebuild, not a quick cylinder swap.
North of Sunset, the 90210 hillsides are a different animal entirely. Many of those estates sit behind private drives with motorized gates and intercom systems, so a large share of our calls there are gate and intercom lockouts rather than front-door issues. Technicians routinely coordinate with Beverly Hills Patrol, private security, and gated-community checkpoints before reaching the actual door. The clients in this market care less about the lowest bid and more about whether the technician is bonded, background-checked, and fluent in the hardware on their doors, whether that is a Baldwin mortise lock from 1948 or a Medeco high-security deadbolt installed last year.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Beverly Hills Services
Two services dominate the phone lines for Beverly Hills homeowners and drivers: car key replacement and emergency lockout response. Each gets its own dedicated page because the details matter.
Car Key Replacement in Beverly Hills
Losing a car key on Rodeo Drive or in a 90210 driveway is a different problem than losing one in a mall parking lot. Late-model vehicles in Beverly Hills skew toward European brands with transponder and programmable key systems, and those need programming equipment that most residential locksmiths do not carry. We handle traditional metal cuts and modern chip keys alike, from an older Lexus in the flats to a new Range Rover in the hills. See Car Key Replacement in Beverly Hills for full details, including programming procedures and what to expect on-site.
Emergency Locksmith in Beverly Hills
Getting locked out of a Beverly Hills home at night is not the same as a daytime lockout anywhere else. Private drives, security patrols, and alarmed gates add time and complexity, and you need a technician who knows how to navigate those layers without creating a bigger problem. Our emergency response is built for exactly that: a calm, measured process that gets you back inside without damaging a 1930s mortise lock or tripping an estate alarm. Read Emergency Locksmith in Beverly Hills for what to expect when you call.

Rekey Locks in Beverly Hills
Rekeying in Beverly Hills is almost always the right move over replacing hardware, and the local housing stock makes that even more true. On a 1930s Spanish-revival door with an original solid-brass mortise body, replacing the lock means trying to find a modern unit that fits a door built to different dimensions; rekeying keeps the hardware, the patina, and the architectural integrity intact while simply changing the key. The dry-sun door-bind problem also makes this a seasonal issue: when a deadbolt starts sticking, the cylinder often needs servicing at the same time the pins get changed. We stock pinning kits for Rekey Locks work across Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, Yale, and higher-security systems like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, so one visit handles the whole house.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You bought a home in Beverly Hills, a contractor or housekeeper still has a key, or you cannot account for every copy of the key currently in circulation.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
A standard lock rekey in Beverly Hills runs $55 – $110 per lock depending on cylinder type, with Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinders landing at the upper end.
How we do it
We disassemble the cylinder, remove the old pins, match new pins to a fresh key cut, and reassemble with a light lubricant that also remedies dry-sun binding.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
A tenant moved out, a relationship ended, or the deadbolt on your Beverly Hills entry door engages roughly and needs pin service anyway.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Deadbolt rekeys run $60 – $110 per door; pairing the rekey with a mortise-lock rebuild on an older home adds cylinder labor but still costs less than replacing the unit.
How we do it
We pull the cylinder from the door, rekey it to the new key, test the throw with the door closed, and adjust the strike if seasonal wood movement is causing resistance.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You carry three different keys for your Beverly Hills front door, back door, and garage and want a single key that turns every cylinder.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Keying multiple locks alike adds $20 – $30 per additional cylinder beyond the first rekey, so an estate with five doors typically lands around $180 – $260 total.
How we do it
We match every cylinder to one key cut, rekey each to the same biting, and hand you the number of new keys you request on the spot.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Beverly Hills
| Item | Typical range in Beverly Hills |
|---|---|
| Standard lock rekey (per cylinder) | $55 – $110 |
| Deadbolt rekey (per door) | $60 – $110 |
| High-security cylinder rekey (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) | $80 – $150 |
The number that matters is the quote you get before we dispatch. Parking, gate access, and coordinating with estate security can add time, but we confirm the full price on the phone and that is the price on the invoice.
Can you rekey my Beverly Hills home the same day?
In most cases, yes. Standard rekeys on Kwikset or Schlage cylinders are finished the same day. Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinders sometimes need a key blank we do not stock locally, which adds a day. Call (855) 791-2710 and we will tell you before scheduling.
Is rekeying safe on original 1930s mortise locks?
It is often the safest option. We service the cylinder and internal components rather than forcing a modern lock into a door built to different dimensions. If the lock body is too worn, we will tell you and quote a replacement that fits the original footprint. Call (855) 791-2710 for a free estimate.
