Local Rekey Locks

Fast, licensed rekey locks across Palm Springs

In Palm Springs a rekey is usually about who still has a key, and in this city that list gets long fast. The town has one of the densest concentrations of vacation rentals in California, so between guests, cleaners, and the occasional handed-out spare, an owner in Warm Sands or Twin Palms can lose track of who can open the door. Add the buyers closing on mid-century homes in Old Las Palmas, the Movie Colony, and Deepwell Estates, and you have a lot of reasons to reset the pins. Locks Around the Clock rekeys most homes in 30 to 60 minutes without replacing your hardware, dispatching from our Palm Desert Storefront on Country Club Dr, about 12 miles east.

  • Old keys stop working immediately, so past owners, tenants, agents, cleaners, and contractors lose access
  • Keeps your existing hardware. No need to buy new locks
  • Usually cheaper and faster than replacing every lock
  • Match every door to one key, or set up a master key system
  • Same-day mobile service across the Coachella Valley

Rekeys for vacation rentals and mid-century homes

Palm Springs rekeys split into a few clear patterns. Short-term rental owners reset the locks between bookings so no old guest key or shared spare still works, and many keep us on a turnover schedule tied to their booking calendar. Buyers closing on a home almost always rekey on move-in day, because a mid-century property in Vista Las Palmas or Sunmor may have changed hands and handed out keys for decades. The mid-century hardware itself matters: a lot of these homes still run vintage cylinders, and we rekey them to a single new key or set up a master so one key runs the house and another covers a casita or garage. The desert leaves its mark too. Summer heat swells doors until a deadbolt binds against the frame, and the grit off Gene Autry Trail stiffens the lock, so while the cylinder is apart we clean, lubricate, and adjust the bolt instead of just changing the pins.

On the job

What a Palm Springs rekey usually looks like

The most common Palm Springs rekey we run is a short-term rental turnover: an owner in Warm Sands or Twin Palms wants every door reset between guests so no old key or shared code still opens the house. We pull the exterior cylinders, change the pins to a single new key, and adjust any deadbolt the heat has swollen against the frame, usually in well under an hour.

Common questions

Rekey Locks in Palm Springs: FAQs

How much does it cost to rekey locks?

Rekeying is one of the most affordable locksmith services, usually a fraction of the cost of replacing your locks. The exact price depends on how many doors and what hardware you have, so we give you a straight quote over the phone. Call (760) 625-0955.

Is it cheaper to rekey or replace my locks?

Rekeying is almost always cheaper. It changes the internal pins so old keys stop working while keeping your existing hardware. Replacement only makes sense when a lock is damaged, worn out, or you are upgrading to high-security or smart locks.

How long does it take to rekey a lock?

A single deadbolt takes only a few minutes. Most homes take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many doors you have.

Can I rekey my locks myself, or should I hire a locksmith?

DIY rekey kits exist for Schlage and Kwikset, but they only work if every lock is the same brand and keyway, and one wrong pin can jam the lock. A locksmith rekeys any mix of hardware to a single key in one visit, with no risk to the lock or door.

Do you rekey Schlage, Kwikset, and other lock brands?

Yes. We rekey Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, Weiser, and most residential and commercial hardware, and we can key different brands to one key so you carry a single key for the whole home.

Should I rekey after buying a house?

Yes. You never know how many copies of the old keys are out there with previous owners, agents, cleaners, or contractors. Rekeying on move-in day is the fastest way to control who has access.

Can you rekey my Palm Springs rental between guests?

Yes, this is one of our most common Palm Springs jobs. Owners in Warm Sands, Twin Palms, and across the city have us reset the locks between bookings so no old guest key or shared spare still opens the door. Locks Around the Clock can work on a turnover schedule tied to your calendar or set up a keypad lock you reset yourself. Call (760) 625-0955.

Can you rekey the vintage locks on a mid-century Palm Springs home?

Usually, yes. Many homes in Old Las Palmas, the Movie Colony, and Sunmor still run decades-old hardware, and we rekey most of it to a single new key rather than making you replace it. If a cylinder is too worn or damaged to rekey safely, we tell you straight and lay out the options. Call (760) 625-0955.

How much does it cost to rekey a house in Palm Springs, and how long does it take?

The price depends on how many doors you have and what hardware is on them, so we give you a straight number over the phone before we come out. Rekeying reuses your existing locks and only changes the internal pins, so it is almost always cheaper than replacing them. Most Palm Springs homes are done in 30 to 60 minutes. Call (760) 625-0955.

Can you set up one key for the main house and a separate one for the casita?

Yes. A lot of Palm Springs homes have a casita, guesthouse, or detached garage, and we can rekey the property so one key runs the main house while another covers the guest quarters, or master it so a single key opens everything. Call (760) 625-0955.
