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.

If the unit had a keypad or smart lock, we reset the codes and remove old users as part of the job. On arrival we confirm who is authorized to request the work, then rekey or replace each entry lock. Rekeying is usually the lower-cost option when the existing hardware is in good shape.

Small steps that help

Consider keying all exterior doors alike so the new tenant carries one key instead of several.
If there is a garage or carport storage cabinet, add it to the list of locks to change.
