Carmel Mountain Ranch questions

Our 1990 Carmel Mountain Ranch home still has the builder's locks. Rekey or replace?

If they turn smoothly and the deadbolt throws fully, rekey. A whole-home rekey with fresh pins gives you new keys and kills any old copies for a fraction of replacement cost. If handles are loose or the finish is pitted, we quote a replacement set in the HOA-approved finish.

Can you install a smart lock on a Sabre Springs townhome with a shared entry alcove?

Yes. We install keypad and Wi-Fi locks on townhome entries routinely; if your door is fire-rated or has an unusual backset we choose a lock that fits without modifying the door. We match the finish so it passes HOA review.

Do you rekey rental condos near Carmel Mountain Plaza between tenants?

Yes. For rental condos in the complexes along Rancho Carmel Drive we rekey at turnover, cut the number of keys you need and keep your keyway on file so the next turnover takes one call.
