The neighborhood's original wartime cottages and duplexes sit on small lots off Linda Vista Road, Comstock Street and Ulric Street, and plenty still have their original or 1970s-era knob locks, which rekey easily or are worth replacing with a proper deadbolt. Around USD and along Genesee Avenue there are apartment complexes and rooms rented to students, where landlords rekey between leases and increasingly install keypad locks to stop key copies. Newer townhome developments toward Friars Road came with builder-grade hardware that is often keyed alike across the whole tract, another reason new owners rekey.
Getting to you in Linda Vista
Linda Vista sits on the mesa between Mission Valley and Tecolote Canyon. We come in from I-8 at Morena Boulevard or from SR-163 via Genesee Avenue, then work Linda Vista Road, Ulric Street, Comstock Street, Fulton Street and the streets around USD's Alcala Park campus. From downtown it is a 10 to 15 minute drive; from Kearny Mesa or Clairemont, under 10. Parking on the narrower wartime streets can be tight, so we keep the van small and park legally.

Linda Vista questions
I rent rooms to USD students in Linda Vista. What is the smartest way to handle keys?
Put a keypad deadbolt on the main entry and give each tenant their own code, then delete it at move-out. That ends the copied-key problem for good. Bedroom doors can keep standard keyed locks that we rekey between tenants, or you can key them to a landlord master so you carry one key.
My Linda Vista house still has locks from decades ago. Rekey or replace?
If the cylinder turns smoothly and the latch holds, a rekey with fresh pins is all it needs. Many of the original cottages have a knob lock and no deadbolt, which is the bigger weakness. We recommend adding a Grade 2 deadbolt keyed to the same key, and we tell you either way on-site before any work.
Do you rekey the newer townhomes toward Friars Road?
Yes. Builders typically key an entire tract alike during construction, and subcontractor keys can linger for years. A rekey at closing gives you a key nobody else has ever held, and we can match the front door, garage entry and patio door to one key if the brands match.
Timing and cost in Linda Vista. Most Linda Vista appointments are same day during business hours (Mon–Fri 7am–8pm · Sat–Sun 8am–6pm), with an arrival window and a firm price given up front.
