Locksmith installing a keypad lock on a vacation rental door in Mission Beach, San Diego — Keypad locks on rentals: a new code every guest, no keys to hand over, no rekey between stays.

Who we work with

Vacation rental hosts

Ocean Beach, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach are wall-to-wall short-term rentals. We set up keypad locks that take a new code every booking, and we're minutes away when a guest can't get in.

Apartment property managers

Turnover rekeys by the dozen, vacant units keyed to a construction key, mailbox banks, gate locks and entry doors, from Mission Valley's big complexes to the walk-ups in Hillcrest and PB.

HOAs and condo associations

Pool gates, clubhouses, mailrooms, utility rooms and pedestrian gates, keyed so residents open what residents should and nothing else.

Landlords with a few units

You don't need a management company to get management-company service. Same account setup, same pricing, same records.

Real estate agents

Post-closing rekeys for buyers, lock repairs before listing, and lockbox-free keypad access for showings.

Commercial property managers

Suite rekeys at tenant turnover, master key systems, exit devices and storefront hardware for retail and office buildings.

What we do for rentals

Turnover rekeys

Every exterior door of the unit rekeyed to a new key between tenants, with the number of copies you specify. Same-day when needed.

Keypad and smart locks

Per-guest codes for short-term rentals, tenant codes for long-term. We recommend, install and program, and show your team how to manage codes. See smart lock installation.

Guest and tenant lockouts

24/7, with your authorized-caller list on file so a guest at midnight doesn't have to wake you up.

Master key systems

One key for maintenance, one per building for managers, individual keys per unit. See master key systems.

Mailbox, gate and amenity locks

Cluster mailboxes, pedestrian and vehicle gates, pool gates, laundry rooms, storage cages and utility rooms.

Lock repair and hardware maintenance

Entry doors that don't latch, closers that slam, corroded beach-side hardware, sliding door locks on every balcony.

Post-eviction and lost-key lock changes

Fast lock changes when a tenant leaves badly or a key goes missing, with a record of what was changed.

Keys in bulk and key control

Cut, labeled and logged, with restricted keyways available so copies can't be made without your authorization.

Property manager and rental questions

Can guests call you directly if they're locked out of my rental?

Yes. Put us on your guest instructions and give us your authorization once. We'll confirm with you or your co-host before opening the door, then handle it.

What's the best lock setup for a short-term rental?

A weather-rated keypad deadbolt with a physical key backup, using per-booking codes. Models that connect to your booking platform can generate and expire codes automatically. We'll set the whole thing up and show you how to manage it.

Do you offer pricing for multiple units?

Yes. Turnover rekeys, keypad installs and mailbox locks are priced per job type for account customers, so you know the cost before you send the work order. Call to set up an account.

Can you invoice the management company?

Yes. Monthly invoicing with per-unit line items is standard for our property management accounts.

Which areas do you cover for rentals?

The entire city of San Diego. Most of our vacation rental work is in Ocean Beach, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach; most of our apartment work is in Mission Valley, Hillcrest, UTC and Downtown.
