What sets this page apart from every other rekey guide out there is simple: Broadmoor has an unusually high share of original mortise locks, and most generic locksmith sites never mention that. We address it head-on, with honest pricing confirmed before anyone is dispatched.

Why Ridley Locksmith & Security Is Broadmoor’s Preferred Rekey Locks Company

Broadmoor sits as an unincorporated community surrounded by San Marino and Pasadena, and the homes here run older than what you’ll find in most of Los Angeles County. That means the person who shows up at your door needs to know the difference between re-pinning a 1930s mortise lock and rekeying a modern Kwikset deadbolt. Our technicians train on that full spectrum, from standard residential brands like Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale to high-security hardware from Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy.

Every Broadmoor job starts with a written price before any work begins. Not a verbal estimate that shifts at the door. A written price, on paper, that becomes the invoice. We hold every technician to The Garrison Standard, a written code of conduct that covers pricing, identification, cleanup, and the guarantee. Drew Kowalski leads our team with a simple expectation: the customer should know exactly who is coming through the door and exactly what it will cost. That’s not a slogan. It’s the standing offer on every call.

Our response time to Broadmoor is typically under 60 minutes for residential rekey work. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Los Angeles office, and crews serve Broadmoor locally.

Locksmith Rekey in Broadmoor

Locksmith rekey in Broadmoor means changing a lock’s internal pins so the old keys stop working, without replacing the hardware itself. For most Broadmoor homes, a standard locksmith rekey runs $95 to $180 depending on how many locks are involved, and a whole-house rekey, where every exterior door works off one new key, usually lands between $160 and $280. That price is confirmed on the phone before we dispatch anyone, and it is the price on the invoice. No call-out surcharge added on arrival.

When a Rekey Makes Sense

You just moved in, you lost a key, or you gave a key to a contractor, a house cleaner, or a former tenant. In Broadmoor, where homes change hands frequently and many properties have been in families for decades, we often see keys that have drifted through multiple hands over the years. A rekey resets that control without the cost of replacing every deadbolt and knob set.

Mortise Lock Cylinders

Older Broadmoor homes frequently have original mortise lock sets, where the entire lock body sits inside the door rather than in a bored hole. Rekeying those means pulling the cylinder, re-pinning it, and returning it to the lock. It takes longer than a standard modern rekey, which is why we quote it separately and honestly.

Rekey Door Lock in Broadmoor

A rekey door lock job in Broadmoor is the most common service we run. The work involves removing the lock cylinder, replacing the internal pins with a new configuration, and cutting new keys to match. For a standard single-cylinder deadbolt from Schlage or Kwikset, a rekey door lock call in Broadmoor runs $95 to $130 for the first lock and $20 to $35 for each additional lock on the same visit. If the door has a high-security cylinder from Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, expect $160 to $220, because those locks require specialized pins and cutting equipment.

Single vs. Multiple Doors

The math is straightforward. One door rekeyed is the base price. Three doors rekeyed in one visit is typically $150 to $240. We quote the full number before we dispatch, so you can decide with real numbers in front of you.

Matching Different Brands to One Key

Yes, we can rekey a Schlage deadbolt and a Kwikset knob so both work off the same key, as long as the keyways are compatible. If they’re not, we’ll tell you the honest options and the cost before any work begins. That’s the written price standard, applied to every Broadmoor door.

Trusted Brands We Service in Broadmoor

We work on the brands Broadmoor homes actually have. Schlage and Kwikset are the most common on mid-century and newer construction. Medeco and Mul-T-Lock show up on higher-end properties and homes where a previous owner invested in serious security. We stock pins, springs, and key blanks for all of these locally, which means most rekey jobs in Broadmoor are done in a single visit with no waiting on parts. If you have a Yale lockset from the 1950s or a Baldwin mortise lock from the 1930s, our technicians have the training to handle those too, and they’ll tell you plainly if a lock is too worn to rekey safely.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Broadmoor Homes

• Worn mortise lock cylinders. Many Broadmoor homes built before 1950 still have their original mortise lock bodies, and the internal pin chambers can be brass that’s worn thin over 70 or 80 years. A rekey on a cylinder with failing pin chambers can turn into a full lock replacement mid-job, which is why we confirm the cylinder’s condition before quoting, not after.
• Mixed-brand doors. A Broadmoor house often has a Schlage deadbolt on the front door, a Kwikset knob on the kitchen door, and an original mortise lock on a side entry. Re-pinning them all to one key takes someone who knows each lock type well enough to tell you what’s compatible before the work starts.
• High-security locks hidden by previous owners. A door that looks standard from the outside may have a Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinder installed by a prior owner who wanted extra protection. A cheap rekey quote over the phone assumes a standard cylinder, and that’s where bait-pricing happens. We ask about the lock brand before we quote, and we confirm it on site before any work begins.
• Bait-and-switch rekey calls. Broadmoor’s location near San Marino and Pasadena makes it a target for locksmith scams that advertise teaser prices and then bill three or four times the quoted number on arrival. Our technicians arrive in marked vehicles with identification, and the written price you received on the phone is the price on the invoice. Period.

A Broadmoor Field Note

We were called to a home on Huntington Drive in Broadmoor where the owner had just closed escrow and wanted the previous owner’s keys dead. The front door had an original mortise lock, not a modern cylinder, so our tech pulled the cylinder, re-pinned it to a fresh setup, and rekeyed the matching Schlage deadbolt so both worked off one new key. The homeowner was quoted before we dispatched, the work took under an hour, and no hardware had to be replaced.
