Encino rekeying: Ventura Blvd apartments vs hillside streets

ZIPs 91316 and 91436 cover apartment buildings along Ventura Boulevard and hillside houses with longer driveways. Those are different access notes even when the job is the same: change the pins so old keys stop working.

Count cylinders, not doors. Mention mixed brands, a building master-key system, and parking or gate instructions. This is lock rekeying, not car key programming.
