Rekeying locks is the call we make most often in Beverly Hills, and for good reason: the city’s estates in the Flats and Trousdale change hands frequently, carry extensive staff, and feature custom hardware that’s expensive to replace. A full rekey typically runs $80 to $350 in the 90210 and 90212 ZIP codes, depending on the lock count and grade. Locked out or locking down, we handle both. Call (866) 497-9415 for a lock you can trust before you hand out the next key.
Why Beverly Hills Homes Are Different
Beverly Hills locksmith work is rarely about rust. It’s about alignment, hardware grade, and discretion. The city’s Mediterranean and dry climate means almost no corrosion on exterior locks, which would normally be the first failure point in a coastal climate. What we actually see is sun damage to rubber seals on smart locks, and wood doors that swell and warp through the dry season, throwing deadbolts out of alignment. A door that locks fine in March may bind in September along North Bedford or Roxbury because the frame has shifted a sixteenth of an inch.
The housing stock adds another layer. Most single-family homes were built between the 1920s and the 1960s: Spanish Colonial and mid-century modern, many with ornate original doors, custom hardware, and narrow backsets that won’t accept a modern off-the-shelf deadbolt without skilled retrofitting. Add steel security gates, driveway gates, and the occasional gate box that sits fifty feet from the actual front door, and you have jobs that reward a locksmith who has seen old Baldwin mortise locks and modern Mul-T-Lock cylinders on the same property. We carry the hardware and the patience for both.
Then there’s the privacy factor. On streets where neighbors notice an unfamiliar van, unmarked vehicles and appointment-style service are not extras. They’re the standard. Greystone Locksmith has served Beverly Hills since 2011, and that means we know when to knock, when to call from the gate, and when to head straight to the intercom panel without a doorbell at all.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Beverly Hills Services
The two calls we make most often in Beverly Hills are car key replacement and emergency access. One is planned and precise; the other is urgent and needs a calm, prepared technician. Both are handled by Greystone, not subcontracted out.
Car Key Replacement in Beverly Hills
A lost or damaged car key in Beverly Hills usually involves a late-model vehicle with a transponder or proximity fob, and owners here expect the job done in the driveway, not at a dealership service bay. We bring the programming equipment to your car, whether you’re on Maple Drive or in the Golden Triangle. Full details, including makes and programming costs, are on the dedicated page: Car Key Replacement in Beverly Hills.
Emergency Locksmith in Beverly Hills
Emergency access in Beverly Hills is less about lockout panics and more about a security gate that won’t open, a deadbolt that has seized on a guest house, or a lock that was just forced. When every minute counts, you want a team that’s already prepared. Greystone dispatches a technician with the tools for high-security hardware and standard residential locks alike. Read more on our Emergency Locksmith in Beverly Hills page.

Rekey Locks in Beverly Hills
In Beverly Hills, rekeying is the default security move after a sale, a staff change, or a divorce settlement, and it’s far cheaper than replacing a Schlage or Baldwin lock set that cost hundreds to install. The dry climate spares most Beverly Hills lock bodies, so a rekey often restores full function without touching the finish or the door. It’s the practical answer for homes that have old hardware worth keeping and a key ring that’s grown too long. Rekey Locks is a core service for us, not a side note.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
Keys have been given to a departing housekeeper, contractor, or family member, and you are not certain who still has a copy.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
A standard lock rekey in Beverly Hills ranges from $80 to $160, depending on how many locks and whether they’re high-security cylinders like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock.
How we do it
We disassemble the lock, swap the internal pins to match a new key, and test the cylinder in the door, leaving the old key useless.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
A single door lock on a guest suite, wine room, or home office is controlling access that should be limited to one or two people.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Rekeying one door lock is typically $80 to $160 in Beverly Hills, with premium hardware at the upper end.
How we do it
We remove the cylinder, repin it to the new key, and reinstall it, often without removing the lock from the door.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You are carrying a ring of keys for a front door, side gate, guest house, and garage, and none of them match.
What it costs in Beverly Hills
Keyed-alike work ranges from $80 to $160 for the first lock, plus $15 to $30 per additional lock in Beverly Hills.
How we do it
We repin each lock you want on the same key and test every door so one key turns them all.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Beverly Hills
| Item | Typical range in Beverly Hills |
|---|---|
| Rekey a standard lock (per cylinder) | $80 – $160 |
| Rekey a high-security lock (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy) | $120 – $350 |
| Additional locks rekeyed to match (per lock) | $15 – $30 |
How long does a rekey take in Beverly Hills?
Most rekeys take 30 to 90 minutes on site. Homes with multiple buildings, gates, and high-security cylinders may take half a day, since each cylinder has to be matched and tested.
Is rekeying an option when I’ve lost all my keys?
If no key exists for a lock, we can still rekey it by picking or shimming the cylinder open first, or by decoding it. You do not need to replace the hardware. Call (866) 497-9415 for an exact quote before we arrive.
Brands We Service in Beverly Hills
Most Beverly Hills doors we work on carry hardware from Kwikset, Baldwin, or Yale, and a good number of estate properties have been upgraded to Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinders. We stock common pins, keys, and replacement parts on the truck for those brands, so most rekey and repair work happens in one visit. See our brands for the full list of hardware we service.

What pushes a Beverly Hills job toward the top of a range is usually hardware grade. A Baldwin mortise lock or a Medeco deadbolt costs more to rekey or service than a standard Kwikset, and rightly so. The other factor is scope: a motor court gate, a guest house, and three exterior doors on a Trousdale estate is a different job than a condo door on Wilshire. Whatever the scope, the price is set before we head your way.

What Beverly Hills Customers Say
"Rekeyed every lock in the house the day after we closed. Six doors, all matched to one key, done in about ninety minutes."
— Yolanda Martinez"The old deadbolt was mounted crooked by whoever lived here before and had been sticking for years. He redrilled and reset it properly rather than just replacing the hardware."
— Brooke Ackerman"Programmed a transponder key for a 2014 model that the dealership wanted an absurd amount for. Same key, fraction of the price, took him twenty minutes in my driveway."
— Grace Lin
