Rekeying locks is the most common call we handle in Maywood, and it’s rarely just about a key. In this 1.13-square-mile city of 1920s and 1950s bungalows, nearly every rekey comes bundled with a story: a tenant moved out, a family member needs access, or a gate and front door both need to work from one key. Anaheim Locksmiths has served Maywood since 2015, and we stock the hardware this housing stock actually uses. Call (855) 382-0290 for a free estimate on any job.
Why Maywood Homes Are Different
Maywood packs roughly 25,000 people into just over a square mile, which means barely any front yards and a lot of street-facing security. The housing is overwhelmingly small single-family bungalows and modest duplexes built between the 1920s and 1950s, many with original wood-frame doors and older knob-and-deadbolt hardware. Those doors settle. Frames shift. Strike plates that lined up perfectly in 1947 are off by an eighth of an inch today, which is why a simple rekey in Maywood often turns into a rekey plus a strike adjustment or a reinforcement plate.
The dry Southern California climate does its own damage. Long sunny stretches and Santa Ana wind events bake exterior hardware, and cheap pot-metal locksets on gates along Slauson and Randolph develop hairline cracks that seize without warning. It’s not unusual for us to arrive for a front-door job and find the gate padlock corroded into a brick of dust and oxidation. Maywood renters and homeowners also deal with the city’s density in a practical way: gates and front doors are so close together that one lost key usually locks a person out of both.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Maywood Services
Maywood homeowners and property managers call us most for two jobs: replacing car keys on the spot and emergency lockout response when a gate or front door won’t budge. Here’s what each looks like in this city.
Car Key Replacement in Maywood
Cars parked along Maywood’s narrow residential streets and driveways need key work more often than people expect, and older vehicles with worn ignitions are common here. Whether it’s a transponder key, a key fob, or a basic cut key, we program and supply the key at the vehicle, not from a storefront across town. The fixed pricing always comes before dispatch. Car Key Replacement in Maywood runs through the full scope of what we handle on-site.
Emergency Locksmith in Maywood
A lockout in Maywood rarely means one lock. The front gate uses a gravity latch or padlock, and the front door has its own deadbolt. We work both in one visit, and we show up with the tools to handle worn 1950s mortise locks as well as modern Kwikset and Schlage hardware. Emergency Locksmith in Maywood covers response for lockouts, broken keys, and gates that won’t open.

Rekey Locks in Maywood
Rekeying in Maywood is the smart move for landlords between tenants, homeowners who’ve lost track of who has a key, and anyone who moved into a rental and doesn’t know how many copies are floating around. Instead of replacing good hardware, we change the internal pins so old keys stop working and new keys take over. For the full scope of how we approach this service, see Rekey Locks.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You’ve lost a key, moved into a new home, ended a tenant relationship, or you can’t recall how many spare keys exist.
What it costs in Maywood
Standard lock rekeying in Maywood runs from $65 to $180 for rekeying all keyholes to a single key on one visit.
How we do it
We remove the lock cylinder, swap the internal pins to match a new key, and test every existing key to confirm the old ones no longer turn.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
A single door locks with a different key than the rest of the house, or a former roommate, caregiver, or contractor may still have a copy.
What it costs in Maywood
Rekeying one door lock in Maywood typically costs $40 to $100 depending on the cylinder type.
How we do it
We re-pin that lock to match your existing house key, so one key operates every door without replacing any hardware.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You carry separate keys for the front door, back door, gate, and garage and want them all on one ring.
What it costs in Maywood
Keyed alike service in Maywood runs $20 to $30 per cylinder beyond the primary lock when done during the same visit.
How we do it
We set every lock cylinder to the same pin configuration, cut matching keys, and test each lock twice before we leave.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Maywood
| Item | Typical range in Maywood |
|---|---|
| Rekey all keyholes to one key | $65 – $180 |
| Rekey one door lock | $40 – $100 |
| Additional cylinders keyed alike | $20 – $30 each |
Every quote is firm before we dispatch. The number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice, with no call-out surcharge added on arrival.
How long does a rekey take in Maywood?
Most Maywood rekey jobs finish in 20 to 45 minutes. Older mortise locks and corroded gate hardware can add time, and we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I need the landlord’s permission to rekey in Maywood?
If you rent, yes. We’ll ask you to confirm you’re authorized to change the locks, since Maywood rekeys are frequently arranged by the property owner or manager rather than the occupant.
Brands We Service in Maywood
We work on Schlage and Kwikset hardware daily, and we’re equipped for high-security lines like Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy that most generalist locksmiths won’t touch. Because Maywood’s older doors often have mixed hardware, we carry common cylinders and pins in the van so a single visit handles most brand-matched rekeys. See our brands for the full breakdown.
Pricing for Locksmith in Maywood, CA

| Rekey one door lock | $40 – $100 |
| Keyed alike, additional cylinders | $20 – $30 each |
What pushes a Maywood price up is usually the gate. If a front gate needs its own rekey or a seized padlock has to be drilled, that’s a second lock on the same visit and we’ll tell you the line item before we touch it. Our pricing is upfront: you get the full figure on the phone, and that’s the figure on the invoice.

What Maywood Customers Say
"Locked out at eleven at night with a kid asleep in the car. He was there in 25 minutes, had the door open in under two, and did not do the thing where the price goes up once he's standing in front of you."
— Adriana Flores"Told me over the phone that what I needed was a five dollar part from the hardware store, not a locksmith. I called him back a month later for real work because of that."
— Sanjay Mehta"Key snapped off in the deadbolt. He extracted it without damaging the cylinder, which I did not think was going to be possible."
— Raj Reddy
