Locked out of your home or car in Fremont? Here's what to expect and how to avoid being overcharged.
Rekeying is the process of changing the internal pin tumblers of a lock cylinder so that old keys no longer work. It is the fastest and least expensive way to secure a new Fremont home without replacing all the hardware.
New Fremont homeowner tip: Rekey every exterior lock the day you take possession. Previous owners, contractors, real estate agents, and neighbors may have copies of the old keys.
A rekeying job typically takes 5-10 minutes per cylinder. For a standard Fremont home with three exterior doors, expect to pay $100-$165 total. Compare that to $250-$500+ to replace all hardware.
