What Our Lock Rekeying Service Covers in Berkeley

Lock rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing locks so old keys no longer work and a new key does — all without replacing the hardware. Chida Locksmith rekeys homes and businesses across Berkeley, an affordable way to take control of who can enter after a move, a lost key, or tenant turnover.

Rekeying is often the smartest, most economical security step a Berkeley property owner can take, and Chida Locksmith makes it quick. We can rekey a single lock or every lock on the property, and we can key them alike so one key opens everything. Because we reuse your existing locks, you get fresh security at a fraction of replacement cost.
