Apartment Locksmith in Pasadena
Lockouts, unit rekeys, and mailbox lock repair for renters throughout Pasadena's historic and modern apartment buildings
Apartment Locksmith Services for Pasadena, CA
Pasadena's rental stock ranges from historic Craftsman-era buildings converted into multi-unit apartments near Old Pasadena, to modern mid-rise complexes along Colorado Boulevard and South Lake Avenue. That mix means we see everything from antique mortise locks to brand-new electronic deadbolts on any given week.
We help Pasadena renters get back into a locked unit, rekey a unit for a new lease, and replace worn or vandalized mailbox locks. Landlords in the Playhouse District and Central Pasadena also call us for rekeys between tenants and for updating older lock hardware that's simply reached the end of its life.
What Pasadena Renters Deal With
Renters in Pasadena's historic Craftsman conversions near Old Pasadena often deal with original mortise locks that were never modernized, which can be tricky to rekey without the right tools on hand. Meanwhile tenants in newer buildings along Colorado Boulevard and South Lake Avenue deal with more ordinary issues, a lost fob, a deadbolt that won't fully throw, or a mailbox cluster box that's been tampered with.

A Common Call: Rekeying a Century-Old Mortise Lock
A tenant moving into a converted Craftsman unit near Old Pasadena wanted the original mortise lock rekeyed rather than replaced, to keep the building's period hardware intact. We rekeyed the old mechanism in place and had her new set of keys ready before the end of the day.
