Lock Replacement & Installation in Santa Rosa

Replacement is the answer when a lock has stopped being worth saving: a handleset on a Fountaingrove rebuild whose latch never seated right, a 1950s knob in Montgomery Village with a worn spindle, a rim lock on a Bennett Valley farmhouse that lost its strike decades ago, or a deadbolt in Oakmont that a hand with arthritis can no longer turn. Vintage Lock & Key carries deadbolts, knobs, levers and handlesets in the usual finishes so most swaps finish in one visit.

The tech measures door thickness, backset and bore before removing anything, because doors on older houses rarely match the spacing new hardware expects. Where the existing prep fits, a swap takes twenty to thirty minutes. Where it does not, the bore is enlarged or filled and the fit shown to you before the lock is mounted. New locks are keyed to match the rest of the house where the keyway allows.

Describe the door and the problem on the call, or send a photo of the current lock; the price is sealed then. The tech texts a name and an arrival window, brings the hardware, and removes the old lock. The strike plate is refit so the bolt throws fully and the latch does not rattle. Two keys per lock, tested before the van leaves.

Installed prices run $89 to $245 per lock, hardware included, with the $89 service call applied toward the total. A Grade 3 deadbolt lands near $89. Grade 2 deadbolts, lever sets for Oakmont hands, and full handlesets with a matching deadbolt move toward $245. High-security cylinders and unusual door prep are quoted before the work, never after. Evening arrivals add $30 and overnight arrivals $60.
