Changing locks after an eviction

In California, a landlord regains possession through the court process, and in Los Angeles County the Sheriff carries out the final lockout. The lock change normally happens right after that, while you or your agent are on site.

New keys are cut on site and tested in each lock before we hand them over. We can key every new lock alike, so the owner or the next tenant carries a single key for the whole unit.

We are locksmiths, not lawyers, so legal questions about your eviction should go to an attorney or the court self-help center. You can also learn about rekeying and eviction lock changes on their own pages.

Small steps that help

Plan where the keys will be stored between tenants; a locked key cabinet beats a kitchen drawer.
