Plan the keys before your property handover. Taking over a home or business in Burbank? MT Lock & Key Services provides mobile rekeying and lock replacement so you can review who should have access when the property changes hands.
We come to your property. This is a mobile service, with no walk-in customer location. Need urgent help? See house and car lockouts and car key services below, or call to confirm availability.
A practical handover plan
Make a door-by-door list before the appointment: front and back entrances, separate workspaces and any other locks you are authorized to change. Mark which keys you have and which should stop working. A working lock may be a candidate for rekeying, while damaged or incompatible hardware may need a different solution. If several people are coordinating the handover, choose one person to confirm the scope, approve the work and collect the finished keys. Ask how many copies you need and test each authorized entrance before the visit ends.
Before your service visit
- List the locks included in the handover, rather than assuming one key covers everything.
- Identify the person who can authorize service and provide entry.
- Tell us if the handover has a fixed time, and confirm availability before relying on it.
Rekeying, replacement and other locksmith help
Rekeying changes which keys operate compatible locks; replacement changes the hardware. Ask us to assess the condition and explain the options. Explore our residential and commercial locksmith services, or read the rekeying and replacement guide.
If you cannot get inside, see lockout assistance and emergency locksmith service. For a vehicle, consult our automotive services and provide the year, make and model. Contact us to confirm availability for the location and job.

House and property lockouts
If a move or property handover is interrupted by a lockout, identify the affected door and who can authorize access. Explain whether you need entry only or also want the keys changed after taking possession.
Car lockouts, replacement keys and programming
For a car locked at a home, workplace or parking location, share where it can be accessed and whether the keys are inside or missing. Provide the year, make and model before arranging key replacement or programming.
MT Lock & Key Services offers mobile car key replacement, spare keys and key-fob programming for most makes and models, excluding Tesla. Compatibility, parts and availability must be confirmed for the vehicle. Have identification and proof of ownership or authorization ready for property or vehicle service.
A door that will not secure may need urgent lock repair or replacement. Ask what the estimate includes for the visit, labor and any parts, and confirm the scope and price before authorizing work.
Questions before booking
Can I request entry assistance and new keys for a handover?
Yes, describe both needs when calling. Opening the door does not itself retire old keys. Rekeying compatible locks or replacing hardware can be discussed as separate parts of the scope and estimate.
Can you change keys while keeping the door hardware?
Often, compatible locks in working condition can be rekeyed. We need to assess the cylinders and the condition of the hardware before confirming.
Should I wait until every old key is returned?
Returning keys does not establish how many copies exist. If you want old keys to stop working, discuss rekeying the appropriate locks once you are authorized to make the change.
