Locksmith Service Cost | Lock Change Pomona

If you’re comparing Lock Change Pomona pricing, this page breaks down what usually affects lock change cost and rekey cost in Pomona, California. Some jobs are quick and straightforward, and others take more time because of door alignment, worn hardware, or a more complex lock. The goal is to give you clear expectations before scheduling service. If you want an exact quote, a technician can confirm the final price after inspecting the door and the lock type on-site.

Lock cost is mostly driven by the type of hardware you choose and the security level you want. A basic residential deadbolt is usually more affordable than a heavy-duty commercial mortise lock or a restricted high-security cylinder. Smart locks vary a lot by features like keypad, fingerprint, Wi-Fi, and whether it’s a full replacement or a retrofit. The best value is usually a lock that matches your door type, traffic level, and security needs without overpaying for features you won’t use.

Labor cost depends on how the lock is installed, how the door is built, and whether anything needs adjustment. A standard lock change on a properly aligned door is faster than a door that’s sagging, rubbing the frame, or has a damaged strike plate. Commercial doors can require extra steps like fitting latch components, aligning storefront hardware, or swapping mortise parts. If there’s burglary repair, we may need to stabilize the door edge or reinforce the frame before the new lock works correctly.

Rekeying is often the lower-cost option when your existing locks are in good condition and you simply want old keys to stop working. It’s popular after moving to a new house/office, after lost keys, or when a tenant or employee leaves. Rekeying can also key multiple doors alike so one key works across the property, when the hardware is compatible. If the lock is worn out, loose, or outdated, a full lock change is usually the better long-term solution.

Below are typical price ranges customers see for lock change and rekey services in Pomona. These are estimates only, because the final price depends on the condition of the door, the number of locks, and the exact hardware selected. Your technician will explain options and provide a final price to approve before any work begins. If you’re not sure what you have now, take a quick photo of the lock and door edge so we can guide you faster.

What can raise or lower the final cost? Hardware choice is the biggest factor, because lock prices vary from basic to premium. Door condition matters too, especially if the latch doesn’t line up, the frame is damaged, or the existing holes don’t match the new lock. The number of locks and whether you want all doors keyed alike can also change the total. If you’re a business, requirements like heavy-duty hardware, panic/egress considerations, or master-key planning can add complexity.

If you want to keep costs controlled, tell us what you’re trying to achieve first: stop old keys from working, upgrade security, fix a damaged lock, or switch to smart access. We’ll recommend the simplest option that actually solves the problem. In many cases, rekeying is enough, and in other cases, replacing worn locks saves money later by preventing repeated issues. Either way, we aim for clear communication and clean, professional work.

For the fastest scheduling, have these details ready: the number of doors, whether it’s residential or commercial, and the lock type you have now (deadbolt, knob, mortise, or smart). If you’ve had lost keys, a break-in, or you move to a new house/office, mention it so we can prioritize the right solution.
