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

Clovis homeowners don’t just want a lock rekeyed. They want to know the person walking up the driveway is who they said they’d be, charging what they said they’d charge, and doing the job without wrecking original hardware in the process. Ridley Locksmith & Security is the locally operated Garrison Partners locksmith, and every technician is held to The Garrison Standard: background-checked, uniformed, and certified on hardware from Schlage and Kwikset to Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. Drew Kowalski leads our team with one rule: a written price before any work starts, every time. No dispatch fee surprises. No “the cylinder seized so now it’s another $120” conversation at the door.

We carry a strong local reputation in Clovis because we show up when we say we will, put the price in writing before touching a lock, and back every repair with a written guarantee for one full year. If the rekey fails inside that year, we return at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it isn’t a verbal assurance. It’s a document.

Locksmith Rekey in Clovis

Locksmith Rekey in Clovis means changing the internal pins and tumbler stack inside your existing lock cylinder so the old key stops turning and a fresh key takes over. You keep the hardware, the finish, and the door. On a 1950s ranch near the Old Town Clovis corridor, the hardware is often original mortise lock bodies in solid-wood doors, and that hardware deserves to stay. Rekeying preserves it. Clovis homeowners call for a rekey after buying a home, after a tenant moves out, after a contractor or cleaner returns keys, or after a set of keys goes missing. The work doesn’t require replacing anything, and that’s the point.

Typical Rekey Locks pricing in Clovis runs $18 to $35 per cylinder plus a visit fee of $29 to $79, depending on where you live and how many locks are involved. A full-house rekey with four to six cylinders usually lands between $110 and $230 total. We give you the exact figure before dispatch.

Keyed-Alike Returns

When a house changes hands, every exterior door should be rekeyed the same day the keys are handed over. We rekey knobs, deadbolts, and even the back gate padlock if it uses a removable cylinder, so one new key works everything.

Mortise Cylinder Work

The mid-century mortise lock bodies common in Clovis’s older core aren’t always easy to find replacements for. We re-pin the existing cylinder instead of drilling or swapping, which keeps the door looking right and costs less than retrofitting modern hardware.

Rekey Door Lock in Clovis

Rekey Door Lock work in Clovis usually starts when someone realizes more keys are floating around than they can account for. A prior owner, a dog walker, an old roommate, a contractor who never returned that copy. Rekeying the door lock changes the internal pin configuration so every prior key is dead, and it takes about ten minutes per cylinder for a trained tech. If you’ve got a Schlage deadbolt, a Kwikset knob, or a Yale mortise body, the process is the same: pull the cylinder, replace the bottom pins and springs to a new code, and cut fresh keys on the spot.

The cost to rekey a door lock in Clovis runs $18 to $35 per cylinder, with most homes needing two to five cylinders done at once. A single door with one deadbolt and one knob typically runs $65 to $105 including the visit. We hand you the new keys and test every cylinder in front of you.

Deadbolt and Knob Matching

We rekey both the deadbolt and the knob to the same key unless you tell us otherwise. Leaving the deadbolt on the old key is a common shortcut in this trade, and we won’t do it. Every door gets every cylinder checked.

After-Hours Rekey in Clovis

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you’ve lost keys in the evening or just came home to a situation that doesn’t feel right, we dispatch to Clovis after hours. The written price policy doesn’t change because the sun went down.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis

Our techs are trained on the full spectrum of lock hardware, from the Schlage and Kwikset lines you’ll find on most Clovis doors to high-security systems from Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. We stock common pins, springs, and blank keys for these brands on our service vehicles, which means we rarely have to leave a Clovis job to chase a part. If your door has an older Yale or Baldwin set, we handle those too. The rekey is done on your door with your existing hardware, so brand compatibility comes down to having the right pin kit and the right key blanks. We carry both.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Clovis Homes

• Original mortise cylinders in mid-century ranch doors. Homes built in the Old Town Clovis area and along streets like Pollasky Avenue and Bullard often still have their 1950s mortise lock bodies. These cylinders can be re-pinned cleanly by a tech who knows them, but a careless hand will drill first and ask later. We don’t.
• Rekeyed knobs with deadbolts left on the old key. This is the shortcut we fix most often. A previous locksmith rekeyed the knob and skipped the deadbolt, so an old key still opens one door. We rekey every cylinder on every exterior door, every time.
• Freeze-prone cylinders in Clovis winter mornings. Clovis gets cold, dry winter air that can make graphite-filled locks sluggish. We clean the pin chambers out and re-pin with a dry film lubricant that won’t gum up when temperatures drop below freezing overnight.
• Worn keyways from decades of use on original hardware. A 60-year-old cylinder that has turned thousands of keys can feel loose. Re-pinning with fresh springs and pins brings the cylinder back to a firm, consistent turn without replacing the mortise body.
