Moved in, ended a lease, or lost track of who holds a key? Our Laguna Niguel techs re-pin your existing locks so every old key stops working, and hand you fresh ones, from $19 per lock.
Laguna Niguel Locksmith
Here is the quiet truth about every house that changes hands: copies of its keys are out there. Prior owners, their kids, dog walkers, cleaners, contractors, an ex whose key never came back. Lock rekeying in Laguna Niguel is the fast, low-cost fix. We change the pins inside the locks you already own, so the old keys become souvenirs and only your new keys work.
Laguna Niguel Locksmith (CA License LCO4446, team behind Golden Locks) rekeys homes, condos, and rentals across the city every week. No new hardware to buy, no doors to modify. Most houses are done in under an hour, keyed alike so one key opens every door, with as many fresh copies as you need cut on the spot.
If a lock is too worn to deserve a rekey, we will show you the wear and quote a replacement before spending your money on the wrong fix. Honest first, always.

How it works
Call (657) 680-4049. Tell us how many doors and locks, and you get the full price on the phone.

Try your old key yourself to see it fail, then take your fresh set, cut and tested.
Local & proud
Move-ins drive most of our rekey work: new owners in Marina Hills and Ocean Ranch, families settling near Laguna Niguel Lake, and condo buyers along Moulton Pkwy who want the key story reset on day one. Escrow closes, we rekey, and the first night in the new home actually feels like yours.
Landlords and property managers across the 92677 and into Aliso Viejo book us between tenancies for the same reason, plus one more: our written key count gives them a clean record of exactly how many keys exist when a new lease starts.
Good to know
Rekey when the locks work smoothly and you are happy with how they look. The hardware stays, the pins change, and you get new keys for about a third of the cost of new locks. It is a security fix, not a style change.
Replace when locks are worn, corroded by sea air, flimsy builder grade, or when you want to step up to stronger deadbolts or a smart lock. Many homes do a mix: rekey the good locks, replace the tired ones, and we will walk the doors with you and call it honestly.
Call now and a licensed Laguna Niguel tech can be headed your way, with the full price agreed before we start.

Common questions
We replace the pins inside your existing lock cylinder so it matches a brand-new key. The lock, handle, and finish stay the same. Every old key stops working the moment we finish.
Most Laguna Niguel homes run $95 to $150 for 4 to 6 locks keyed alike, plus the $15 to $29 service call. You approve the exact total before we start.
Yes, when the locks share a compatible keyway, which most home locks do. We key them alike during the rekey and cut as many copies as you need.
For controlling who has access, yes, it is equal. The old keys are dead. New locks only add security when the old hardware itself is weak or worn, and we will tell you if yours is.
Yes. Rental turnovers are a big part of our work. You get the locks re-pinned, fresh keys, and a written count of how many keys were issued for the new tenancy.
Yes, we rekey Medeco and Mul-T-Lock cylinders as well. They run $35 to $55 per lock, and new keys are cut with the proper authorization on file.
