Quick answers for Boyle Heights

Should I change the locks or just rekey them in Boyle Heights? +

Can all my new locks use one key in Boyle Heights? +

Usually yes — ask for "keyed alike" and the locksmith sets every new cylinder to a single key, as long as the hardware is compatible.

Most homes have two to four exterior doors. Count them before you submit so the locksmith brings enough matching hardware for the whole job.
