Rekeying is the smartest first move for anyone taking over a home in Chico, WA, and it’s the service we get called for most across ZIP code 98312. The housing mix here runs from mid-century single-family places on larger lots to manufactured homes and newer subdivisions, which means no two keyways are alike. If you’ve just closed, changed tenants, or had keys wander off, call Belmont Lock & Key at (855) 473-2502 and we’ll get every cylinder working on one set of keys, usually same day.
Why Chico Homes Are Different
Chico sits unincorporated on the western edge of Bremerton, close enough to Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton that a steady share of our calls come from military renters and property managers who need rekeys aligned with leases, deployments, and move-out inspections. The housing stock is a genuine mix: older mid-century homes, manufactured homes on rural lots, and newer suburban builds. That means our technicians open everything from worn mortise locksets that predate modern keyways to builder-grade cylindrical deadbolts installed last year.
Detached sheds, shops, RV storage, and boat lockers are the rule, not the exception. A single Chico call often starts as a house rekey and turns into padlocks, hasps, and cam locks on three outbuildings. Western Washington’s wind-driven rain and coastal damp don’t help: exterior locks corrode, cylinders seize, and neglected shed hardware rusts solid by spring. We schedule lubrication and weatherproofing as routine preventive work, not an upsell, because around Chico it is routine.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Chico Services
Most Chico homeowners call us for one of three reasons across the life of a lock: they’re locked out, they’ve lost car keys, or they need a fresh start with a rekey after a move or tenant change. Rekeying lives in its own section below. The other two each have a dedicated page with deeper detail.
Car Key Replacement in Chico
Losing a car key on a rural Chico lot or outside a rental unit is a different problem than losing one at a downtown storefront. There’s no second key hiding in an office desk, and the nearest replacement source isn’t always close. We come to the vehicle with mobile programming equipment and cut a new key or fob on site for most makes. Transponder keys, push-to-start remotes, and high-security laser-cut keys are all within our wheelhouse. Read the full breakdown on our Car Key Replacement in Chico page. Call (855) 473-2502 and we’ll confirm your vehicle’s specifics before we dispatch.
Emergency Locksmith in Chico
Lockouts in Chico happen at the worst times: a deadbolt snapped shut on a windy evening, a shed padlock frozen overnight, a tenant locked out before a property walk-through. Emergency calls here skew residential and outbuilding-heavy rather than commercial, and the drive out to unincorporated lots means we plan for gate codes and long driveways we’ve seen before. We carry picks, bypass tools, and an impressioning kit for older locks that don’t have much documentation left. See Emergency Locksmith in Chico for the full scope. If you’re locked out now, call (855) 473-2502.

Rekey Locks in Chico
Rekeying in Chico is almost always a timing job. Military renter cycles, property-manager turns, and rural property purchases mean someone needs a house and three outbuildings on the same key system before the moving truck arrives. The climate adds to it: coastal damp corrodes pins and springs in exterior locks at a pace you don’t see inland, so a rekey here often includes cleaning and lubricating cylinders that would otherwise fail within a season. If you’ve never had a rekey done, the short version is that we replace the internal pins so old keys stop working and new keys turn cleanly. Belmont Lock & Key performs this full service as Rekey Locks specialists, and the only number you need is (855) 473-2502.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You’ve bought a new property, ended a tenancy, divorced, or can’t account for every copy of a key that’s been floating around the house or outbuildings.
What it costs in Chico
A standard single-cylinder Lock Rekey in Chico runs $65 – $120 per lock, while high-security cylinders like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock run $115 – $260 per lock.
How we do it
We disassemble the cylinder, replace the pins and springs to match a new key, then reassemble, lubricate, and test the lock through at least six full cycles.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
A previous owner, roommate, contractor, or caregiver still has a key to a door, or you want every exterior door to operate on one shared key.
What it costs in Chico
Rekeying a single door lock in Chico costs $65 – $120 on average, and if you’re converting it to be keyed alike with other doors we quote that as part of the same call.
How we do it
We pin the door cylinder to the new key, confirm all other locks are compatible, then rekey each one so the same key operates every door you specify.
Rekey Service
Signs you need it
The house, shop, shed, RV storage, and mailbox lock each have a different key and you want the whole property on a shared system.
What it costs in Chico
A multi-lock Rekey Service across a home and outbuildings in Chico typically falls between $165 and $300 for the first hour of labor plus parts, depending on the lock count and condition.
How we do it
We inventory every cylinder, rekey the house locks first, then work through outbuildings and padlocks, keying them all alike unless you prefer a master-key split.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Chico
| Item | Typical range in Chico |
|---|---|
| Standard lock rekey (per cylinder) | $65 – $120 |
| High-security cylinder rekey (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy) | $115 – $260 |
| Labor and service call (first hour) | $60 – $90 |
Every quote includes the full price before dispatch. What we price on the phone is what appears on the invoice, with no added call-out surcharge on arrival.
How long does a rekey take in Chico?
Most Chico rekeys take 45 minutes to two hours. A single door is quick; a house plus sheds, shop, and RV storage on a rural lot takes longer, especially if we’re freeing corroded pins from wet coastal winters.
Can you rekey my locks to match the same key?
Yes, keyed alike is a standard request in Chico. We set every cylinder you choose to the same cut, so one key works the front door, back door, shed, and padlocks. Call (855) 473-2502 to confirm your lock brands.
Brands We Service in Chico
Chico doors carry everything from original Schlage and Kwikset to higher-security Sargent and Mul-T-Lock hardware on detached shops and rental units. We stock common pins, springs, and cylinders locally so rekeys don’t wait on a supplier, and our techs are factory-trained on eight major brand families. See our brands page for the full compatibility list.

FAQs About Locksmith in Chico
Belmont Lock & Key typically reaches most Chico addresses in 25 to 40 minutes from dispatch. Rural lots deep in the ZIP code may take a bit longer due to road conditions and gate access, and we’ll give you an honest time window when you call.
No. Rekeying is an interior lock hardware change and does not require a permit in unincorporated Kitsap County or HOAs. New lock installation on an existing door is also fine, and we can advise if your specific community has any nuances.

What Chico Customers Say
"Quoted a price on the phone and honored it. After the last locksmith I called, that alone is worth a review."
— Jessica Wong"Does good work. Card payment was a bit of a production, so have another option handy."
— Paige Vaughn"The old deadbolt was mounted crooked by whoever lived here before and had been sticking for years. He redrilled and reset it properly rather than just replacing the hardware."
— Rachel Hayes
