Homes and locks in Old Town

The commercial core along San Diego Avenue, Congress Street and Juan Street is made up of restaurants, shops, offices and hotels, many in older buildings with storefront mortise locks and back doors on steel frames. Businesses ask for rekeys after staff turnover, master key setups so a manager key opens every door, and keypad locks on employee entrances. Residentially, Old Town has apartments and condos near Taylor Street and the transit center, plus older homes on the slopes toward Presidio Park and Mission Hills, where rekeys at purchase and keyed-alike setups are the usual jobs.

Getting to you in Old Town

Old Town is about eight minutes from downtown via Pacific Highway or I-5 to the Old Town Avenue exit, and sits right at the I-5 and I-8 interchange, so we can reach it quickly from anywhere in the central city. We work the commercial blocks around the State Historic Park, the Old Town Transit Center area on Taylor Street, and the hillside streets toward Presidio Park and Mission Hills.

Old Town questions

Can you rekey a restaurant or shop in Old Town after an employee leaves?

Yes, usually the same day. We rekey the storefront cylinder, back door and any storage locks, cut a set number of keys, and can set up a master key so the owner opens everything while managers get keys to specific doors. Most Old Town storefronts are done in under an hour, often before opening.

Do you work on storefront doors with mortise or Adams Rite style locks in Old Town?

We do. Aluminum storefront doors around San Diego Avenue and Congress Street typically use a mortise cylinder that we can rekey in place. If the cylinder or latch is worn we replace it with a matching part rather than the whole door hardware.

Do you handle homes on the hill above Old Town too?

Yes. The residential streets between Old Town and Mission Hills and around Presidio Park have older homes with layered hardware. We rekey at purchase, put front, back and garage doors on one key, and install smart locks that suit period doors, usually retrofits or finish-matched keypad deadbolts.

Timing and cost in Old Town. Most Old Town 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. Rekeying in Old Town costs the same as everywhere in San Diego County: a $49 service call plus $25 per lock cylinder, whole-home rekeys from $124, and smart lock installation from $149.
