Locksmith for landlords and property managers, Alhambra 91841

Rental properties need dependable key control between one tenancy and the next. Owners and managers who use the 91841 ZIP code call us for turnover rekeying, lock changes after an eviction, and keeping track of keys across many units.

Rekeying between tenants

When a tenant moves out, there is no reliable way to know how many copies of their key exist. Rekeying the unit's entry locks before the next move-in gives the new tenant keys that nobody else holds. It's quicker and usually cheaper than replacing hardware, and it shows incoming tenants that their security has been taken seriously.

Eviction lock changes

When an eviction is completed, owners often need the locks changed straight away. We carry out lock changes for landlords and property managers, and we'll ask you to show you have authority over the property. We don't take part in disputes between parties; the legal process is between you, the tenant and the court or sheriff.

Master keys for multi-unit buildings

A master key system lets maintenance staff and managers open common areas and units when needed, while each tenant's key opens only their own door. We set up the system, provide a key chart and rekey individual units at turnover without disturbing the rest of the building.

Mailboxes, gates and common areas

Tenants often lose mailbox keys first. We replace mailbox locks, re-key gate and laundry room locks, and fix closers and latches that stop common doors from shutting properly.

Working with you on scheduling

Turnover rekeys are best booked before the cleaners leave and the new tenant arrives. Send us the unit list through the contact form and we'll call back to schedule.

New tenants can read why to rekey when moving in.

Documenting each unit

Property managers find turnover easier when every unit's lock details are written down: the brand, keyway, whether it is on a master system and when it was last rekeyed. We can note this for you during each visit. Having a record means future rekeys go faster, spare cylinders can be prepared in advance, and you can show a new tenant exactly when their locks were changed. It also helps when a maintenance worker needs access, because you know at a glance which key will open which door without trial and error.

We can also leave spare keys in a sealed, labelled envelope for your office, ready for the next viewing, inspection or move-in day.
