Quick answers for Carson

What does rekeying actually do in Carson? +

Rekeying does not replace the lock. It changes which keys work in the cylinder you already have.

Is rekeying cheaper than changing the locks in Carson? +

Yes, when the cylinder is healthy. You are paying for pins and labor, not a new deadbolt.

Can several locks be rekeyed to the same key in Carson? +

Compatible locks can share one new key. Count the doors before they come out.

What should I tell the locksmith in Carson? +

How many locks, and do you still have a key that works? Say if they should all match. ZIP 90745 and 90746 is commonly routed from Carson.

How much does rekey cost in Carson? +

Night work, the car, and a damaged lock move the total. Get the range on the phone. Published ranges are not your invoice.
