How our Rekey Locks works in Atherton
When you book rekey locks in Atherton, you can expect a clear, step-by-step visit:
Count the locks: We list every door to be rekeyed.
Rekey together: We rekey them alike or separately as you prefer.
Provide keys: You receive the new keys you need.
Confirm security: Old keys are retired and everything is tested.
We come prepared. Our Atherton service vehicles carry the blanks, cylinders, programmers, and hardware for the vast majority of jobs, which is why we can usually finish in one trip instead of scheduling a return visit.
Throughout the visit we keep you in the loop. Before we touch anything on your Atherton property, you will know what we found, what we recommend, and what it will cost — so there are never surprises when the work is done.
What you get with Avant Guard Locksmith
A lot of security problems get worse when they are patched instead of properly fixed. Our Atherton technicians take the time to correct the underlying issue — an alignment problem, a worn cylinder, a mis-programmed key — so you are not calling again next month.
We would rather do the job right than do it twice. Taking a few extra minutes to align a door, clean a cylinder, or verify a key programs correctly is the difference between a fix that lasts and a callback — and our Atherton customers notice.
