Rekeying locks is the service West Haven homeowners call about most, and the houses here make it a different job than it is across the river. Homes in the 97225 ZIP run from 1950s ranches with original Schlage hardware to recent hillside builds with smart locks and multi-point entry systems. Wet winters swell door frames, sloped lots mean four or five exterior doors per property, and decades of piecemeal key copies leave most households juggling three different keys for one house. Commodore Locksmith has served West Haven since 2012, and we rekey every one of those locks to a single key, same day, at a price you’ll hear before we dispatch. Call (855) 473-5097 and we’ll walk you through it.
Why West Haven Homes Are Different
West Haven sits in unincorporated Washington County, wedged between Beaverton and Portland’s West Hills. That unincorporated status matters: there is no city locksmith licensing board here, so homeowners have to verify credentials themselves rather than relying on a municipal registry. The housing mix compounds the work. A mid-century split-level on a quiet street off Cornell Road might still have its original 1962 Kwikset deadbolts, while a gated community built in 2019 on the same block uses Baldwin hardware with smart-lock integration. Rekeying the first is straightforward. Rekeying the second requires matching the existing finish and keyway so the hardware keeps its premium look. The wet climate is the other constant. Rainy winters swell wooden door frames, and by February we’re adjusting strike plates and easing lock cylinders that bind when the door no longer sits square in its frame. Every West Haven job starts with checking that the door itself works, because a perfectly rekeyed cylinder on a warped door still jams.

Our Main West Haven Services
Most calls from West Haven fall into two categories: a car key that stopped working at the worst possible moment, or a lockout that needs a fast, damage-free entry. Both are urgent, and both reward a locksmith who already knows the area.
Car Key Replacement in West Haven
Losing a car key in West Haven usually happens at the grocery store or the park-and-ride, and the nearest dealership is a haul. We cut and program replacement keys for most makes and models, including transponder keys and push-to-start fobs, often for less than the dealership quote and without the tow. The paved hillside driveways and tight garage aprons here don’t faze us; we come to the vehicle wherever it sits. Car Key Replacement in West Haven is a call away.
Emergency Locksmith in West Haven
A lockout on a rainy West Haven night is a different animal than a sunny afternoon. Wood swells, deadbolts bind, and the last thing you want is a technician breaking the lock to get you in. We open locked doors without destroying the hardware, then we rekey or repair the lock on the spot if it’s showing wear. That includes garage service doors, basement walkouts, and the side doors on sloped lots that never seem to get used until the lock seizes. Emergency Locksmith in West Haven covers the whole 97225 area, day or night.
Rekey Locks in West Haven
Rekeying in West Haven is rarely a one-lock job. The typical 97225 property sits on a sloped lot with a front door, a garage service door, a basement walkout, and a side kitchen entrance, and most of those locks have different keys from different decades. Swollen frames from the wet winters mean we often adjust the strike plate before we even touch the cylinder. A full-property rekey brings every one of those locks onto a single key, and it costs far less than replacing five locksets. The process takes about an hour at most West Haven homes. Rekey Locks is where you’ll find the full breakdown of how it works.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You’ve moved into a new house and have no idea how many copies of the old key are floating around, or you’ve lost a key and can’t account for who might have found it.
What it costs in West Haven
A single-cylinder deadbolt rekey in West Haven typically runs $20 to $35 per cylinder in labor, plus a $25 to $55 trip charge depending on the time of day.
How we do it
We remove the cylinder, swap the pins to match a new key, and reinstall it, all without changing the exterior hardware’s finish or brand.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
Your lock still works but the key turns rough, or you want your front door and side doors to open with one key instead of the mismatched set you’ve been carrying for years.
What it costs in West Haven
Rekeying a knob or lever plus a deadbolt on the same door in West Haven averages $45 to $80 total, including the service call.
How we do it
We pull both cylinders, repin them to the same key, lubricate the mechanism, and test the door’s alignment so the bolt throws cleanly into the strike plate.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You carry separate keys for the front door, garage, basement walkout, and shed, and you’re tired of fumbling through a keyring at every entrance.
What it costs in West Haven
Keying three to five exterior locks alike on a West Haven property typically lands between $95 and $165, depending on the number of cylinders and whether any need hardware adjustments.
How we do it
We repin every cylinder to the same key code, confirm each lock throws correctly, and hand you a single key that works in every door on the property.

Brands We Service in West Haven

What pushes prices up in West Haven is usually the age of the hardware and the number of locks. A 1960s Kwikset with 50 years of wear may need the cylinder replaced rather than rekeyed, and a hillside estate with five entrance doors simply has more cylinders than a one-level ranch. Whatever the scope, the price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice. No call-out surcharge added when we pull up.

What West Haven Customers Say
"Commercial job, panic bar and a master key system for a small office. Clean install and clear documentation of which key opens what."
- Renee Bennett"Told me over the phone that what I needed was a five dollar part from the hardware store, not a locksmith. I called him back a month later for real work because of that."
- Kelly Barrett"Programmed a transponder key for a 2014 model that the dealership wanted an absurd amount for. Same key, fraction of the price, took him twenty minutes in my driveway."
