Before
AfterLocksmith in Clovis, CA
A locksmith in Clovis typically charges $65 to $95 to come out, then $25 to $45 per lock to rekey a Kwikset or Schlage cylinder and $95 to $185 to replace a deadbolt. Clovis is a fast-growing Central Valley city with a mix of 1970s-1990s ranch homes, older Old Town Clovis houses, and new subdivisions rising east toward the Sierra foothills. That means the hardware on any given block varies wildly, which is exactly why our techs carry standard and high-security parts on every truck. Call (956) 275-7388 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Clovis Homes Are Different
Clovis heat does real work on lock hardware. Summer temperatures regularly push past 100 degrees, and exterior deadbolts on west-facing doors take direct afternoon sun for months at a time. We replace more dried-out, seized cylinders in Clovis in July and August than the rest of the year combined. Homeowners in Harlan Ranch, Buchanan Estates, and the neighborhoods off Willow and Nees know the drill: the key still goes in, but the plug will not turn without force. That is not a key problem. That is a cylinder packed with dust and heat-hardened lubricant, and it usually needs a rekey or full replacement rather than a squirt of WD-40.
Housing stock matters too. Old Town Clovis and the streets around Clovis Avenue have pre-1970s homes with original mortise locksets in some cases, and those are a different job entirely from swapping a modern Kwikset on a 2005 McMillin-built tract home. Newer subdivisions east of Clovis Avenue use builder-grade entry sets that we rekey the same day. Older homes sometimes need a locksmith to rethread a strike plate or shim a sagging door before a new deadbolt will throw cleanly. The terrain is flat here, which makes response simple and predictable, and most residential streets have no gate codes or guardhouses except the master-planned communities on the northeast edge of the city.
Our Main Clovis Services
Three services drive most of our Clovis work, and each one has its own page with local pricing, sub-jobs, and direct answers. Here is the short version.
Rekey Locks in Clovis
Rekeying means changing the pins inside an existing lock so the old keys stop working and a fresh set takes over. It is the fastest, cheapest way to take control of a home after a move-in, a tenant change, or a lost key, and Clovis does a lot of it because the city has constant turnover in its rental neighborhoods around Barstow and Peach. We rekey Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and Baldwin hardware on site, and the job usually takes 15 to 20 minutes per lock. Full details and Clovis pricing are on the Rekey Locks in Clovis page.
Residential Locksmith in Clovis
Residential work in Clovis runs from a deadbolt replacement on a 1990s home off Temperance to a full rekey and hardware swap after a family moves into a new build in Harlan Ranch. Our technicians see a lot of builder-grade entry sets that stop throwing cleanly after a year or two of settling, and we usually fix that with a proper strike plate adjustment rather than a new lock. Every residential call gets a written price before work starts and a written one-year guarantee. See the Residential Locksmith in Clovis page for pricing and what the job involves.
Commercial Locksmith in Clovis
Clovis commercial properties run from Old Town storefronts to medical and professional offices in the business parks along Shaw and Herndon. A commercial locksmith job here often means a master key system, a high-security cylinder upgrade, or rekeying a suite after an employee leaves, and those are surveyed and scheduled jobs, not a van racing across town. Our techs are trained on Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, and Sargent hardware, and you get a written scope and a flat per-lock price before anything is opened up. The Commercial Locksmith in Clovis page covers the full breakdown.

What pushes a Clovis job toward the upper end is usually wear: a lock on a west-facing door that has baked for a decade may need a new cylinder rather than a rekey, and a door that has sagged out of square may need more than a lock swap. Whatever the number, it is a written price delivered before any work starts, and that is the number on the invoice. No arrival surcharges, no recalibration at the door.

FAQs About Locksmith in Clovis
Most Clovis calls get a technician on site in under 30 minutes during normal hours. Old Town and central Clovis are fastest because of how the streets grid out; the northeast neighborhoods add a few minutes. Call (956) 275-7388 and the dispatcher gives you a straight arrival window.
Inside your home, no. For exterior locks in Harlan Ranch, Buchanan Estates, and other planned communities, check your CC&Rs, because some HOAs require matching hardware finishes. We can match a specified finish or model if your HOA has a standard. The lock itself is yours to rekey or replace.
We cover the whole city, from Old Town Clovis and the apartment and rental stock around Barstow and Peach out to the new builds along Shepherd and Teague. There is no part of Clovis we route around. If you are just outside the city line, one of our nearby city pages will confirm coverage.
