Tenant Move-Out Rekey in Sherman Oaks, CA.

If you need tenant move-out rekey in Sherman Oaks, this is how One & Only Locksmith handles it.

A turnover rekey resets every lock a departing tenant could have copied, on the schedule of the owner or property manager rather than the tenant. The job covers the unit's entry doors and, where the owner controls them, the mailbox compartment, gate and storage locks, with keys labeled for the incoming tenant and the office.

The technician comes to your address in Sherman Oaks, in the San Fernando Valley. The dispatch line at (888) 492-0666 is answered around the clock, and the dispatcher confirms the details and an ETA before anyone is sent.

• Written work authorization from the owner or manager confirmed before the visit
• Rekey of the entry deadbolts, knobs and levers to a new combination
• Re-pinning to the property's master key chart if the building runs one
• Mailbox compartment lock and gate or storage lock changes when the owner is responsible for them
• Labeled key sets for the tenant and the management office
• A work order listing every door, the new key code and the key count for your file

• Written authorization from the property owner or management company naming the unit
• The master key or a copy of the keying chart if the building is master keyed
• A list of every lock to be changed: entry doors, mailbox, gate, storage, garage
• The number of key sets you want for tenants and for the office
• Confirmation that the unit is vacant and the prior tenant has surrendered possession

Typically 45-90 minutes per unit with two entry locks, a mailbox and a gate. Master-keyed buildings, units with mismatched hardware that needs cylinder swaps, and multi-unit batches take longer.

• We rekey vacant units on the owner's or manager's authorization only; we do not change locks on an occupied unit against a tenant in possession
• Master-keyed cylinders are re-pinned to the existing chart, which means the owner must supply the chart or the master key
• Interchangeable-core and restricted-key systems may require cores or blanks that must be ordered through the system's authorized dealer
• Mailbox locks on USPS-owned cluster boxes are changed by the Postal Service, not by a locksmith; privately owned boxes and wall panels are fine
• Cylinders that are worn or damaged from years of tenant use are replaced, not rekeyed, and we flag that on the work order

The quote depends on the number of cylinders in the unit, whether they are standard, SmartKey, master-keyed or interchangeable core, how many mailbox and gate locks are included, the number of key sets, and whether several units are done in one trip. Repeat turnovers for the same property are quoted on the same basis each time.

The dispatcher gives you a range on the phone, and the technician confirms a written quote before any work starts.

Payment is by Cash, Credit Card, Debit Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and you receive an itemized receipt listing what was done.

• Kwikset and Schlage knob-and-deadbolt sets standard in rental housing
• Master-keyed Schlage, Arrow and Falcon cylinders
• Small-format interchangeable cores (Best, Arrow, Medeco KeyMark) on managed portfolios
• 4C and 4B mailbox compartment cam locks on privately owned panels
• Keypad deadbolts (Schlage, Kwikset, Yale) where the owner prefers code changes to rekeys
