Rekey and smart lock services in North Park

Homes and locks in North Park

Expect Craftsman and Spanish bungalows with original doors, many converted to rentals, alongside 1950s and 1960s apartment buildings and modern infill along University Avenue, 30th Street and El Cajon Boulevard. North Park has seen a wave of ADU construction, and a detached unit usually needs its own key or a keyed-alike setup with the main house. Older bungalow doors are sometimes thinner than modern standards or have non-standard bores, which affects smart lock choice. Landlords with small buildings ask for keyed-alike systems so one key runs the gate, laundry and common door.

North Park questions

I built an ADU in North Park. Should it be on the same key as the house?

If you are renting the ADU out, give it its own key and rekey it at every tenant change. If family uses it, a keyed-alike setup so one key opens the house and the ADU is more convenient. We can do either on-site, and many North Park owners add a keypad smart lock to the ADU so tenants never need a physical key.

Can you rekey a whole North Park fourplex in one visit?

Yes. A typical four-unit building with a common gate and laundry door takes about an hour. Each unit gets its own key, and we can set the gate and laundry to open with every unit key while keeping unit keys separate from each other.

Will a smart lock fit my 1920s Craftsman door in North Park?

Most will. Some older bungalow doors are thinner than 1 3/8 inches or have a smaller bore, so we measure the door and bore first. Schlage Encode, Yale Assure Lock 2 and Kwikset Halo fit standard doors, and August or Level retrofits keep the original exterior when the door is unusual.

Timing and cost in North Park. Most North Park 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.
